Jordan also passed up mega-paydays from the Wizards. He was putting asses in the seats even as an old man but donated much of his salary and played for the vet minimum, I think.

He was pretty solid that year. Made Rip look like a way better player too.

Yeah I think he made like 2 mil annually

I hate that for Johnson though..good player, took what anybody here would take now he has that stigma about him

Juwan Howard lived with it his whole career.

I don't think anyone really blames Johnson. Its just that obviously no one views him as a "piece" to a contender when you factor in that abortion of a contract.

Rashard at 21 is also a travesty comparing to the other players on that list in the top 30.

For a veteran, modern-era all-star, Ginobili strikes me as underpaid.

**Headliner** · 08-27-2012, 11:01 AM

And to think guys like Shawn Kemp and Antoine Walker are broke. Crazy world we live in.

XxIrvingxX · 08-27-2012, 02:22 PM

Joe Johnson is at number 6??

Yeah, players tend to get "blamed" for being overpaid when they severely underproduce following a signing - IE: Rashard Lewis. Johnson hasn't played up to what he signed for, but its not like he's chopped liver. He's way overpaid, but get rid of the contract and his presence benefits many teams in the league at the 2-guard spot.

Johnson has pretty much been a top 5 SG for a long time. The problem is that he's been paid like a top 5 overall player in the league.

It pains me to read that Mutombo made so much more money than Olajuwon and Robinson, especially coming from relatively close eras.

EDIT: Added DRob to the sentence.

Magic and Larry arent on the list but without those two none of these guys is making this kind of money

Different times, man, different times...

Guys like Pele and Maradona didn't make in their lifetimes the amount of money some dude like David Beckham made in, like, 2 years of his prime....
