With most businesses still trying to recover from the recession in addition to the market not being something worth talking about on a daily basis since it’s the same news every day. Forbes magazine has decided to break down the financial side of sports since they have run out of things to talk about.
Two weeks ago Forbes.com listed the NBA’s most overpaid ballers. I guess that article didn’t go over too well with some of Forbes’ readers who are down on their luck because they have followed that article up with a recession friendly article.
The Top 10 NBA Players for the Buck.
When I first saw the title for their article I thought to myself, “Really? It doesn’t matter if a pro athlete is making a million or ten million he is still a millionaire and he is being overpaid to play a kids game. Why are we splitting hairs?”
And who really cares or has ever wondered “Who are some of the brokest productive athletes in pro sports?”
Anyway, here is their list of the top 10 NBA players for the buck.
