    Ticket sales are determined by the individual teams

    …what? Ticket sales are determined by the number of people who buy tickets. What exactly are you trying to argue? If ticket prices are lower, patrons pay less and profits go down. This means patrons have more money than if ticket prices are higher.

    This is very basic stuff that has no room for ambiguity.

    Useless idiots should try to learn a little bit about what their talking about before they show their ass in a comment section.

    It’s clear you’re just going to twist your brain into knots to avoid acknowledging simple facts about reality.

    I see it all the time and don’t expect more from you people at this point.

      Ticket sale revenue* a little deductive reasoning should have made that obvious. It seems obvious that being obtuse is a cornerstone of your thought process though.

      Ticket sales go to the individual teams. The TV deals are split amongst the NBA as a whole as shared revenue. The pool of funds the players get paid out of are out of the shared money for the NBA. It’s two separate pools. The players get paid the same regardless of ticket sales. The point your trying to make is that the ticket sales or hot dog prices effect lebrons salary. Which makes it obvious that you are talking out of your ass.

      Money made during events are kept by the home team. So, you’re mad at profit gouging of the owners over ticket prices. Which is totally irrelevant to player salary under CBA of the union. Your original comment was that players are overpaid and they should lower ticket prices. When the ticket prices are totally irrelevant to player salary. You don’t know what you are talking about. You. Fucking. Idiot.
