I remember when Bill Russell of the Celtics signed a $100,000 a year contract in the mid 60's.That got wall to wall coverage (around Boston,at least) for days and days.

Now, we pay millions to antisocial illiterate thugs with criminal records ...who then must pay much out in paternity suits to the impregnated groupies!
The NBA has clearly become an over hyped spectacle of Thugball.

I remember the Dave Winfield contract and how much press that got. There are now >20 players who earn more per year than he got for a ten year deal.
