The thing is with the new cap now it makes it so every team has a shot of getting a superstar and compete.
So in a couple years he will be getting his value by NBA standards in a sense.
Its also hard to say what his value is when he's playing with two other all stars that can help carry the team. If Im paying a single player 40 mill, he would need to be able to carry the team with support players and maybe a Robin type player, and never loose to the Wizards, or twice to the bucks.
Most people don't get to do what they like to in life for a job, even less have jobs they enjoy. So for him to complain about not getting value in a time when most people took pay cuts to keep their jobs, or other people who use to make 70 grand a year now make 30 is a tasteless statement to make.
He also complained that he wouldn't get to watch the Superbowl because the team plane doesn't have tv.
Well heres two options Queen James. You come to my house, and watch the game, and I'll suit up and take you place and get payed your check for the game which will be more then i make in 15-20 years, I'd miss the bowl just you can see it, it would be my sacrifice for the Queendom.
Or not take the team flight, book on on Jet Blue and watch the game on their in flight tv, and Dunkin Doughnuts so you should be all good.
