Unbelievable.
Most professional leagues can't compete with that type of pay outside of the NBA. NBA lowest paid player makes $1.15 million with an average of around $12 million. Most upper level European and Asian leagues have a bottom end of around $50,000 with a top out of around $3-4 million, while many of the lower level leagues pay under $20K per year.G5’s cannot compete with that!
We need to consolidate and form our own league now, we are the college “G” league!
