00:00People don't want to hear this, but the reality of pro sports is, like, LeBron, Steph, I think SGA's approaching that, maybe a guy like Durant, but then, like, Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar, maybe Jaden's approaching it, a guy like Justin Jefferson, Burrow, Chase, Miles Garrett.
00:23You go to baseball, a guy like Otani, Trout, Soto, the kid PCA for the Cubs, maybe James Wood someday approaches that.
00:33Those dudes, like, in leagues with a salary cap like the NFL, and the NBA has more or less created a salary cap with the luxury tax, like, those real superstars, not that people that get given the superstar title, but actual superstars are underpaid.
00:52Like, there's not a dollar amount the Lakers could pay LeBron that is commensurate to his value.
01:00You know what I'm saying?
01:02Yeah.
01:03I get what you're saying.
01:04It's just kind of crazy to think about it that way.
01:06Because, like...
01:06But that's why, see, that's why those guys make more money off the court than they probably do on the court.
01:11Right.
01:12And that's why the other guys that are not superstars, but they get paid like it because they made a third team all-NBA, that's why they don't get any damn thing.
01:22Off the court.
