LeBron James’ teams spent 9.76 percent more in player salaries than the league average during his time in the NBA.
That would still put him behind Shaq, Kobe, Curry and Dirk… but way ahead of Giannis, Harden and Duncan. pic.twitter.com/xI9EV96r4E – 4:37 PM

Interesting to hear Charles Barkley complain about NIL. This, from a guy who practically brags about the cheating in the SEC when he played and once offered Dirk Nowitzki, money to go to Auburn. So it’s OK for athletes to get paid under the table but not over it? – 8:55 PM

More on this storyline
During this period, he played alongside some of the best European and international talents. But as Turkoglu says, none of them made a bigger impact than the current NBA star trio of Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic. “The growth of European basketball and its impact is unbelievable,” Turkoglu emphasized. “Back in the day, it was just a few Europeans. At that time, Dirk was the best. For me, he is still the best European player ever.” -via BasketNews / March 5, 2023
Do you think that the Markkanen/Nowitzki comparisons are fair? (Laughs) I don’t want to compare him to Dirk! You gotta let him live man! (laughing) … Lauri is doing his own thing. He’s hoopin’ and he’s playing great. Dirk is a legend, man, and I hope Lauri becomes a legend as well. But you can’t expect him to be Dirk, man. … Dirk is crazy! But that’s just all respect to Dirk and Lauri. Both of them are really good and have a lot of skills, not just one. … Lauri can kind of create his own path. -via Bally Sports / March 2, 2023

“My emotions were riding extremely high,” Gasol told The Athletic on Wednesday night. “It was very intense, very overwhelming, very beautiful to receive such a huge honor, but with so many other emotional factors and triggers. Obviously, the love of the fans, the appreciation, the energy in the building. The presence of friends, family and people who mean a lot to me and my life. “And clearly, Kobe’s absence — but still strong presence. All that just made it extremely intense.” -via The Athletic / March 10, 2023
