The NBA is one of the most profitable leagues in the world, behind only NFL and MLB. MLB salaries are equally as crazy, but there's a ton more players (28) on each team, so it sorta averages out. And the NFL is what it is. Merica and all. But they also have even more players (53) on each team. NBA has 15. Lots of money to go around. Good for them. Make that money.
Edit: I did the math.
MLB: $11.6M revenue earned per player per team.
NFL: $10.03M revenue earned per player per team.
NBA: $17.13M revenue earned per player per team.
On a revenue earned per player/per team basis, NBA is #1 by a long shot. So they deserve it.
