The fact that Shaq makes more per year in Salary than Kobe does is an outrage. But then again, anyone making those #'s per YEAR is an outrage.... unless it's yours truly.
wow, kevin durant in the top 15. even when he only played one season. so i guess, whoever signs with nike is rich.
It is really weird how Jamarcus Russell makes more than Tom Brady. Go figure the NFL with no rookie wage scales.
Just an un-godly amount of $$$ being thrown athlete's way...Golf has the top two spots...Wow... Francis... Just looked at the Intl. list...Kaká from AC Milan...All i remember about this guy is his hot g/f...
NFL salary cap is completely out of whack. The free agent movement, cutting players each year, fans can't even fall in love with the players anymore. They will be gone a few months later. Too bad they are such a juggernaut, it will never be rectified. Well I guess the rookie wage will be.
I still don't get the Tiger Woods endorsements. I don't play golf, but I've never bought any Tiger Woods stuff or was ever influenced by his commercials. I think he's overrated on his endorsement influence. I mean, who's buying a Buick because of Tiger Woods? or use shaving cream because of him?
Does the indoor court help Tmac's game or is it there just because he's got too much money? or is it because he saw Carmelo and Roy Jones Jr having indoor courts? An elevator? does his back hurt that bad?
I never did anything or bought anything because of an athelete but Tiger represents an entire sport. People don't watch golf unless he's competing. As far as the Yao stuff, i figured it out...i guess all the latin players threw me off.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/specials/fortunate50/2008/index.20.html International #8 Yao Ming Houston Rockets (NBA) China Last Year's Rank: 6 $31,762,775 So how much of it goes back to China? I know Uncle Sam gets some of it too. So Net Income < Tmac? I hope his new neighborhood has better security than the last one.
No, he practices in there daily, there was this thing on ESPN that showed his daily workout and I'm pretty sure Melo would have copied him and not the other way around
Why would Ginobili be on that list? Hes a role player i seriously think people over inflate him way too much
