Does a NBA player "deserve" 10 million a year? For playing a game? No sane person thinks so. But that's what the market will bear. There's no "good" and "bad" involved. If you play basketball better than 99.99999% of the population, that's what the market has decided you're worth.

Not really and neither do movie stars for that matter. It is odd how we pay entertainers all this money but we never pay the ones that need it like police men, teachers, etc.

If people are willing to pay to see them play, why not? People will pay for anything.

Its ridiculous paying him that much. Same with football/soccer players. They work for they're money yes, but who doesn't?
