I should have played basketball these salaries crazy. Good for him I guess and Bucks fans.

Giannis is worth almost five McDavids annually.

Giannis is worth almost five McDavids annually.

There are role players in the NBA making more $ than McDavid. It's pretty crazy.

When comparing hockey to basketball, the math just doesn’t add up.

Basketball = cheap to play, a truckload of money as a professional

Hockey = very expensive to play, minimum wage compared to NBA salaries

Sure it does. Smaller rosters + the sport is much more popular and brings in way more money = significantly higher NBA salaries.

Hockey being more expensive to get into is a major reason for why it's not as popular as basketball.

And I'm literally typing this on my phone at my kid's basketball practice. I'm damn glad he's not getting to hockey financially.

We’re getting closer to a million dollars a game

I mean Anthony Davis essentially gets a million a game on his deal considering how much he misses.

What’s the average salary for NBA player vs NHL?

If you want your kid to potentially have a sports career, hockey is marginally better than basketball. Most people don't have the freakishly-tall genetics or the athletic gifts required to even be a decent NBA or Euroleague player. Sure, you need athletic gifts to play in the NHL or KHL, but you also don't have to be 6'4" +++.
