Lebron has never solely been the highest paid player on his team.

Tied with Chris Bosh at the moment.


Pretty shocked when I heard this.

Is there a point to this thread? Neither has Kendrick Perkins but no-one complains.

the nba is the same as any other job in the world, the better you are at it, the more you're gonna get paid

And just like in the real world, after reaching a certain age, you get paid to bring absolutely nothing to the table while the younger players break their balls for the team

If we're basing "alpha" and "beta" status on financial worth, LeBron makes you look like the biggest beta in the world

You also have to factor in endorsements, OP...

Lebron James has definitely been paid more than his team-mates

Pretty obvious he is talking about contract. It is pretty amazing the consensus best player on te league for years never had highest salary

Trying to play it off cool

LeBron is alpha, he doesnt need to be highest paid to know he's a superstar. He's confident enough about his status.

Kobe on the other hand needs to be the highest paid not just in his team, but the entire league. He is constantly insecure about whether he is great or not and he feels the need to be paid highly as a way to justify himself. Beta
