The real.problem is that they could cap that shite in some way and actually lower the costs for fans. It doesn't help that the fans are stupid enough to pay for those prices of tickets, etc

Shaq would have easily been a max guy. He can thank China for the lucrative contracts of today. Neither the players, owners, or the league executives want to cut off the drug known as China.

Shaq's peak earnings was in 2004-2005 at 27.7 million a season with the Lakers. In today's dollars, that is about 41.6 million a season. That's not too bad. Shaq needs to understand it isn't a dollar for dollar comparison.
