meh - not something that impresses me, sure they might have amazing physical abilities, but having them and then choosing to use them to play a game for money does not impress me, would be much more impressed by a young person with superior physical abilities that chose to use those abilities by serving their country. Still really makes me wonder about the values we have as a country when people who bounce a ball and throw it through a hoop make more money than a person who saves lives or protects us - - - but hey, thats just my view and clearly many many others dont seem to see things the same way - - - - oh well
I agree - the contracts for NBA, MLB and NFL have rose absurdly in past years. You cannot overlook the dedication, perseverance, and sheer will of pro sports players. That’s why I don’t care who comes along Michael Jordan will always be the G.O.A.T. That guy has a drive to do whatever it takes to beat you no matter if it’s playing checkers. That made him one of the wealthiest sports figures ever. It all boils down to ….
it can’t be beat !!

In my opinion nothing shows off the superior physical abilities than NBA players. The speed, quickness and power combined with their size always amazes me. Seems like they have learned their lesson to stay out of politics so I’ve began to watch again - always loved the game. Went to college with Joe Dumars. Was able to play a pickup game with him. That’s when I figured out that he has so much more God given talent than I did it was time for me to just stay in the stands
