Why being an Athlete is the most overrated job on the planet, even if your top 1%

[FutureExoticChad]

Being an athlete is dog shit and completely overrated, even if your top 1% (Premier League, NBA, etc) which, of course, 99.99% of athletes will never reach.

Think about it objectively: you're training from the ages of 4-5 years old DAILY, constantly up until the age of 30-35 (when most athletes retire), 4-5 days a week minimum with the exception of a break every 9-11 months. You've spent every relevant year of your life just slaving away like a dog at a sport because "muh its my passion bro!"

"But muh status and money brooo!!!"

​

Wrong. About 99% of professional athletes earn scraps and fuck all status from their daily slave-work. Do you really think some random playing in the 4th division in Switzerland making 35k a year, who's busy every day of the week training twice a day, is living the dream? Fuck no. Not even close.

But lets say managed to beat the astronomical odds and become a top 1% athlete, a LeBron, a Mbappé, a Ronaldo, etc, you're still trapped in a cage by society. All that money and celebrity status? You cant even enjoy an ounce of it. You want to get hammered at a party with people in southern Europe on some yacht with Stacie's everywhere? The media will annihilate you before you even wake up the next morning. The team you play for are now pissed at you, the company you had a deal with are now in talks of terminating their contract with you, you get called unprofessional and a lazy entitled piece of shit, despite training twice a day 6 days a week for 10 months back to back playing at the highest level on the planet.

Your life is no longer your own, it’s non stop year round slavery of training, travel, and media obligations. Every 7 AM workout, every low fat high protein high carb meal, and every public appearance is brutally scrutinized. There’s no real downtime and escape. You're constantly under pressure to perform, to maintain your brand / image, and to avoid a single fuck-up that the media will blow up in a matter of hours. So, while the money is flowing in and the fans are cheering, you're still just a slave to the sport and the system that owns you, and are living a life that’s more about obligation/staying in a good social light than it is about freedom.

Meanwhile, an unknown digital nomad who makes 20k a month can wake up at 10 am, work by the pool in any city he wants (So long as he has a good passport) for a few hours, and then spend the rest of the day living his life. Am I supposed to believe this guy has a lower quality of life than the turbo-status, turbo-rich superstar athlete? The athlete might have more zeros in his account, but the digital nomad has something infinitely more valuable, freedom.

Not to mention that although a top athlete's status is UnMoggable on paper despite not being able to enjoy it, its infinitely more feasible / easier for the average PSLer to attain status via social media, content creation, etc rather than striving to be a top 1% athlete. You can build a respectable following / audience and gain recognition without sacrificing your ENTIRE LIFE to 1 single skill.

In order to really put this quality of life mog in to perspective, lets compare them one to one:

Quality of life	Athlete (Top 1%)	Digital Nomad (10-20k a month)
Daily schedule	Extremely strict, must maintain a perfect diet, perfect recovery / sleep schedule, constantly attending team meetings, practices, and traveling with heavy restriction on freedom.	Completely flexible and self determined, you work whenever you want, where ever you want, whether its an early morning surrounded by nature or late at night in Miami.
Freedom of location	Tied to one location decided by the team you play for. Cant really travel or go anywhere at all, unless its in the off-season which is 1-3 months out of the year.	Can be where he wants year-round, is not tied to one single location.
Career longevity	most retire during their early 30s, in which they just pursue something else in sports (coaching, team staff etc) which is still dog shit.	Can potentially be life long so long as you adapt and can consistently find work / get sales.
Physical Health	Your body IS your career, and so by default its under constant physical stress from intense training and competition. Injuries are a constant existential threat and can end your career in an instant.	You are responsible for your own health, there is no external force constantly pushing your body to its limits. You can focus on being healthy overall and staying active on your own terms.
Freedom and control	You live in a cage. Despite being famous and rich, your life is owned. Your actions are constantly monitored by the media, your team, and sponsors. You can't even get messed up at a party without risking your career.	Ultimate freedom, can do what ever you want so long its not illegal. No one is monitoring you, your free.

If you still don't understand the point then think about it this way: would you rather live the life of Mike Thurston or Kylian Mbappé?

One is free, makes his own money, and is constantly traveling and living his life:

The other is trapped and under constant scrutiny from society and the media, all while slaving away daily for money and status he'll barely get to enjoy 1 month out of the year before he returns to pre-season training:

cope thread of the century. Tell me when you're making mill's and slaying like these athletes

 

[Saint Casanova]

Being a top fitness influencer is honestly just as competitive as being a top athlete.

Someone like Thurston has perfect insertions, perfect response to gear, perfect response to training, chad face, quite tall, interesting and confident behind the camera ect.

All of that combined makes it extremely hard. For every David laid there are 10,000 gymcels barley getting 1k likes.

Professional Sports are one of the worst things to happen to society

1. Millions of people constantly pacified while the situation around them turns to complete shit
2. Trillions lost and millions of families ruined with sports betting
3. Like you said, even the athletes don't really benefit themselves relative to how risky it is to go pro
4. Billions of people willingly cucking themselves by wearing another man's name on their back, doing cringy celeb worship shit etc just because someone is really good at a made-up game with made-up rules.

Sports should ideally just be a way for normal people to stay fit and build community with people around them imo. Pro sports as a concept are a huge societal time and money sink.

I never said you need to be a top influencer, you don't need to have perfect insertions or be a chadlite to be a MoneyMaxxed MTN living life on his own terms.

Becoming a digital nomad generally takes at least a couple of years of long, gruelling work until you excel at what you do and have complete flexibility.

You’ll also generally have to make more than 10k a month to have that pool side, well travelled life.

If i dont try i'll never know

 

[FutureExoticChad]

Becoming a digital nomad generally takes at least a couple of years of long, gruelling work until you excel at what you do and have complete flexibility.

Sure, it may take 2-3 years of "the grind" to achieve the desired out come, but that's for any profitable skill you could think of.

Besides, how is that even comparable to playing a sport every day from the ages of 5-6 all the way up to when you go pro and beyond? not to mention your statistically not gonna end up going pro anyways, where as if your grinding towards becoming a digital nomad, a lot of the factors that go into it are very much within your control, unlike sports.

You’ll also generally have to make more than 10k a month to have that pool side, well travelled life.

I agree, but you could still have a overall good quality of life with 10k if you maybe lived in a 3rd world country where your purchasing power is exponentially higher than it would be in the west, think of Thailand for example.

But I agree, 20k+ is the bare minimum for a mogger quality of life.

Being an athlete is dog shit and completely overrated, even if your top 1% (Premier League, NBA, etc) which, of course, 99.99% of athletes will never reach.

Think about it objectively: you're training from the ages of 4-5 years old DAILY, constantly up until the age of 30-35 (when most athletes retire), 4-5 days a week minimum with the exception of a break every 9-11 months. You've spent every relevant year of your life just slaving away like a dog at a sport because "muh its my passion bro!"

"But muh status and money brooo!!!"

​

Wrong. About 99% of professional athletes earn scraps and fuck all status from their daily slave-work. Do you really think some random playing in the 4th division in Switzerland making 35k a year, who's busy every day of the week training twice a day, is living the dream? Fuck no. Not even close.

But lets say managed to beat the astronomical odds and become a top 1% athlete, a LeBron, a Mbappé, a Ronaldo, etc, you're still trapped in a cage by society. All that money and celebrity status? You cant even enjoy an ounce of it. You want to get hammered at a party with people in southern Europe on some yacht with Stacie's everywhere? The media will annihilate you before you even wake up the next morning. The team you play for are now pissed at you, the company you had a deal with are now in talks of terminating their contract with you, you get called unprofessional and a lazy entitled piece of shit, despite training twice a day 6 days a week for 10 months back to back playing at the highest level on the planet.

Your life is no longer your own, it’s non stop year round slavery of training, travel, and media obligations. Every 7 AM workout, every low fat high protein high carb meal, and every public appearance is brutally scrutinized. There’s no real downtime and escape. You're constantly under pressure to perform, to maintain your brand / image, and to avoid a single fuck-up that the media will blow up in a matter of hours. So, while the money is flowing in and the fans are cheering, you're still just a slave to the sport and the system that owns you, and are living a life that’s more about obligation/staying in a good social light than it is about freedom.

Meanwhile, an unknown digital nomad who makes 20k a month can wake up at 10 am, work by the pool in any city he wants (So long as he has a good passport) for a few hours, and then spend the rest of the day living his life. Am I supposed to believe this guy has a lower quality of life than the turbo-status, turbo-rich superstar athlete? The athlete might have more zeros in his account, but the digital nomad has something infinitely more valuable, freedom.

Not to mention that although a top athlete's status is UnMoggable on paper despite not being able to enjoy it, its infinitely more feasible / easier for the average PSLer to attain status via social media, content creation, etc rather than striving to be a top 1% athlete. You can build a respectable following / audience and gain recognition without sacrificing your ENTIRE LIFE to 1 single skill.

In order to really put this quality of life mog in to perspective, lets compare them one to one:

Quality of life	Athlete (Top 1%)	Digital Nomad (10-20k a month)
Daily schedule	Extremely strict, must maintain a perfect diet, perfect recovery / sleep schedule, constantly attending team meetings, practices, and traveling with heavy restriction on freedom.	Completely flexible and self determined, you work whenever you want, where ever you want, whether its an early morning surrounded by nature or late at night in Miami.
Freedom of location	Tied to one location decided by the team you play for. Cant really travel or go anywhere at all, unless its in the off-season which is 1-3 months out of the year.	Can be where he wants year-round, is not tied to one single location.
Career longevity	most retire during their early 30s, in which they just pursue something else in sports (coaching, team staff etc) which is still dog shit.	Can potentially be life long so long as you adapt and can consistently find work / get sales.
Physical Health	Your body IS your career, and so by default its under constant physical stress from intense training and competition. Injuries are a constant existential threat and can end your career in an instant.	You are responsible for your own health, there is no external force constantly pushing your body to its limits. You can focus on being healthy overall and staying active on your own terms.
Freedom and control	You live in a cage. Despite being famous and rich, your life is owned. Your actions are constantly monitored by the media, your team, and sponsors. You can't even get messed up at a party without risking your career.	Ultimate freedom, can do what ever you want so long its not illegal. No one is monitoring you, your free.

If you still don't understand the point then think about it this way: would you rather live the life of Mike Thurston or Kylian Mbappé?

One is free, makes his own money, and is constantly traveling and living his life:

This thread is sad. And why niggas find themselves on these incel forums. they have no belief, no drive, no spirit. These million dollar niggas made it to where they are because they wanted it the most. The best player in the world at all these sports probably never made it professionally becuase they didn't want it bad enough. This shit needs to end. Not chasing your dreams is why you achieve nothing. If you don't make it, at least you gained something, and if you really want it, you'll find a way to keep going.

 

[widdi]

all of these are inevitable copes. so many other things have ruined society. there is little hope left.

Right but sports is like a passive debuff that makes every other individual psyop easier to accomplish because it amounts to simulated conflict that keeps normies satiated. It's modern day bread and circus. Ban pro sports, and we'd have a revolution in a month.

This thread is sad. And why niggas find themselves on these incel forums. they have no belief, no drive, no spirit. These million dollar niggas made it to where they are because they wanted it the most. The best player in the world at all these sports probably never made it professionally becuase they didn't want it bad enough. This shit needs to end. Not chasing your dreams is why you achieve nothing. If you don't make it, at least you gained something, and if you really want it, you'll find a way to keep going.

"Mane niggas got no belief mane! niggas really think they cant become a top 1% athlete mane! this is why niggas is on incel forums mane!"

Cage at this single digit IQ take, no buddy, even if you were to go pro (unlikely) then your most likely gonna end up playing for some 3rd division team paying you 3k a month + some accommodation via a shit apartment.

And this is coming from someone who could end up going to college to play soccer who has had coaches and experienced people talk to him about what its like to be a pro athlete, this shit completely fucking sucks, and unless your going d1 or pro, isn't worth the squeeze what so ever.

Your training 5 days a week, twice a day on average, EVERYDAY for years on end for absolute scraps, and fuck all status. Objectively, its dog shit for the bottom 99% of athletes, its irrefutable.

you just proved my point. Niggas have came from nothing, less than you, and still made something of it.

 

[FutureExoticChad]

Nope

Niggas have came from nothing, less than you, and still made something of it.

Yeh man, am supposed to be a 0.001% exception to the rule and be the next Lebron James, despite every metric of success in his life being solely due to luck and genetics.

If you were to replay Lebron James life 1000 times in a simulator game, about 998 out of those 1000 lifetime simulations would have him end up as some random nobody slaving away at a 9-5 in Akron Ohio. he's a 1 in a billion statistical outlier.

Am honestly regretting taking time out of my day responding to your negative-sentience / single digit IQ takes, but it is what it is.

 

[fwhr]

Being an athlete is dog shit and completely overrated, even if your top 1% (Premier League, NBA, etc) which, of course, 99.99% of athletes will never reach.

Think about it objectively: you're training from the ages of 4-5 years old DAILY, constantly up until the age of 30-35 (when most athletes retire), 4-5 days a week minimum with the exception of a break every 9-11 months. You've spent every relevant year of your life just slaving away like a dog at a sport because "muh its my passion bro!"

"But muh status and money brooo!!!"

​

Wrong. About 99% of professional athletes earn scraps and fuck all status from their daily slave-work. Do you really think some random playing in the 4th division in Switzerland making 35k a year, who's busy every day of the week training twice a day, is living the dream? Fuck no. Not even close.

But lets say managed to beat the astronomical odds and become a top 1% athlete, a LeBron, a Mbappé, a Ronaldo, etc, you're still trapped in a cage by society. All that money and celebrity status? You cant even enjoy an ounce of it. You want to get hammered at a party with people in southern Europe on some yacht with Stacie's everywhere? The media will annihilate you before you even wake up the next morning. The team you play for are now pissed at you, the company you had a deal with are now in talks of terminating their contract with you, you get called unprofessional and a lazy entitled piece of shit, despite training twice a day 6 days a week for 10 months back to back playing at the highest level on the planet.

Your life is no longer your own, it’s non stop year round slavery of training, travel, and media obligations. Every 7 AM workout, every low fat high protein high carb meal, and every public appearance is brutally scrutinized. There’s no real downtime and escape. You're constantly under pressure to perform, to maintain your brand / image, and to avoid a single fuck-up that the media will blow up in a matter of hours. So, while the money is flowing in and the fans are cheering, you're still just a slave to the sport and the system that owns you, and are living a life that’s more about obligation/staying in a good social light than it is about freedom.

Meanwhile, an unknown digital nomad who makes 20k a month can wake up at 10 am, work by the pool in any city he wants (So long as he has a good passport) for a few hours, and then spend the rest of the day living his life. Am I supposed to believe this guy has a lower quality of life than the turbo-status, turbo-rich superstar athlete? The athlete might have more zeros in his account, but the digital nomad has something infinitely more valuable, freedom.

Not to mention that although a top athlete's status is UnMoggable on paper despite not being able to enjoy it, its infinitely more feasible / easier for the average PSLer to attain status via social media, content creation, etc rather than striving to be a top 1% athlete. You can build a respectable following / audience and gain recognition without sacrificing your ENTIRE LIFE to 1 single skill.

In order to really put this quality of life mog in to perspective, lets compare them one to one:

Quality of life	Athlete (Top 1%)	Digital Nomad (10-20k a month)
Daily schedule	Extremely strict, must maintain a perfect diet, perfect recovery / sleep schedule, constantly attending team meetings, practices, and traveling with heavy restriction on freedom.	Completely flexible and self determined, you work whenever you want, where ever you want, whether its an early morning surrounded by nature or late at night in Miami.
Freedom of location	Tied to one location decided by the team you play for. Cant really travel or go anywhere at all, unless its in the off-season which is 1-3 months out of the year.	Can be where he wants year-round, is not tied to one single location.
Career longevity	most retire during their early 30s, in which they just pursue something else in sports (coaching, team staff etc) which is still dog shit.	Can potentially be life long so long as you adapt and can consistently find work / get sales.
Physical Health	Your body IS your career, and so by default its under constant physical stress from intense training and competition. Injuries are a constant existential threat and can end your career in an instant.	You are responsible for your own health, there is no external force constantly pushing your body to its limits. You can focus on being healthy overall and staying active on your own terms.
Freedom and control	You live in a cage. Despite being famous and rich, your life is owned. Your actions are constantly monitored by the media, your team, and sponsors. You can't even get messed up at a party without risking your career.	Ultimate freedom, can do what ever you want so long its not illegal. No one is monitoring you, your free.

If you still don't understand the point then think about it this way: would you rather live the life of Mike Thurston or Kylian Mbappé?

One is free, makes his own money, and is constantly traveling and living his life:

The other is trapped and under constant scrutiny from society and the media, all while slaving away daily for money and status he'll barely get to enjoy 1 month out of the year before he returns to pre-season training:

Negative-sentience. Nigga your the one who falls under that category. If you let genetics rule over your life, then you have other things you need to fix. Luck is generally a result of preparation when it meets opportunity. Not waiting for something to happen whilst doing nothing. You talk about these stats, but yet lebron here stands (plus your lebron statement is an obvious cherry pick to win an argument nigga, he's an example of when talent meets preparation which meets opportunity, but that's a whole nother discussion) with over a billion dollars despite your argument of "statistics". If you let limitations and numbers rule over you, then once again you have other problems to fix first.

This is some pessimistic slop you have posted here to make others end up the same as you. Under the grasp of laziness and inability to conceive that there is a way out when there is so many right in front of you. If you can't see what's wrong here, then I'm afraid there is no saving you from failure. Failing to plan is planning to fail. Failing to practice is practicing to fail. Failing to try is trying to fail. Failing to believe is believing you'll fail...

 

[watah]

Somewhat true but mostly cope

 

[FutureExoticChad]

Luck is generally a result of preparation when it meets opportunity. Not waiting for something to happen whilst doing nothing.

How LeBron James "prepared" for success:

• Be 6'9 with a wide and robust frame
• Perfect tendon/ligament insertions, optimal for jumping and speed
• Be born in the United States (0.045% chance) as a black man, would be unknown If he was born anywhere else.
• Get taken in by the Frank Walker Jrs family, who was a football coach that noticed Lebron was missing school and was living in poverty. He went out of his way to talk to Lebrons single mother and asked her if he could take him in (Completely out of Lebrons control in any metric you can think of, most coaches wouldn't have cared, let alone take him in)

All of this was by the age of 10 years old.

but yet lebron here stands (plus your lebron statement is an obvious cherry pick to win an argument nigga,

"Cherry picking" well no fucking shit, if your looking at top 1% athletes, your gonna be cherry picking by default since their all so fucking rare. Not to mention your contradicting yourself and proving my point here.

about 60-90% of top 1% of athletes already came from relatively wealthy families who had the means to fund their journey to the top, depending on race:

If you let limitations and numbers rule over you, then once again you have other problems to fix first.

I never said not to try at all, but when it comes to something as brutal as sports, which is heavily dictated through factors completely outside of your control (Family, genetics, socioeconomic status, geography, etc), you have to be very real with yourself.

If you genuinely enjoy waking up at 7 AM every day to go out and work yourself to death for some 4th division team paying you solely in accommodations via shit housing, food stamps, etc, then go for it. I just don't think that's the life that most people truly aspire to achieve.

This is some pessimistic slop you have posted here to make others end up the same as you.

How could it be pessimistic if am promoting a potentially better solution?

And how do you know if it could even be pessimistic to most users on here when you don't even know whether or not they want to be athletes to begin with? its not like everyone on here strives to be a top 1% athlete, then had their dreams crushed after reading this thread.

Under the grasp of laziness and inability to conceive that there is a way out when there is so many right in front of you.

Again, I am promoting a better solution.

Did your peanut-brain even think to read the thread or are you just barking recycled insults at me for the sake of holding on to your dreams of being the next Lamelo?

Failing to try is trying to fail. Failing to believe is believing you'll fail...

Lol, dude drops back-to-back-to-back retarted takes then tries to compensate at the end with this bullshit

No buddy, failing is falling short in an attempt to succeed, in what you define success as. If I never said I'd like to make an attempt at being a pro athlete, so how could I possibly fail If I never aspired to achieve said thing to begin with?

If your definition of success is working a coding job, then who am I to tell you that you're failing if that's your definition of success?

If you'r definition of success is being a top 1% athlete who lives in a cage constantly trying to appeal to the world and not make the media angry, slaving away 10 months out of the whole year for money and status you'll barely get to enjoy, then so be it. Its not likely you'll achieve this, but its still completely up to you whether or not you see this as successful In your world.

The point am trying to get at here is that your trying to say am failing, when in reality your definition of failure and success are completely different to mine, so how could you tell me am failing when in this case I'd be doing what I want to do in life?

Don't get me wrong, normies do tend to cope about this when it comes to working shitty jobs and what not, but I also believe there is objective truth when it comes to this very subject.

All in all: your a retard who deals in absolutes exclusively and has no sense of viewing or seeing things with nuance, all whilst not being able to refute or object any one of my points objectively, just through barking recycled insults that hold no weight or relevance. Its honestly shocking but somehow also Lifefuel that a retard with this level of cognitive function managed to be a contributor. But hey, its not like anything is based off of merit anyways.

Now fuck off my thread you peasant

 

[B O N E S]

JFL I believe in the athletepill so I disagree but good thread for an argument in the opposite direction.

Female athletes have a brutal existence though. Constantly train, no one watches them, make no money, whore themselves out at the Olympics if they make it there, then end up 36, retired and in a race to have kids with no real world skills to make money over the next 20 years. That famous British soccer chick is married to a groundskeeper.

Hinge in my area will have a girl who went to the Olympics for some obscure shit pop up every once in a while and they're usually working another job because it doesn't pay enough.

The fact that you used AI as your research is all I need to know to see your argument is flawed. Using a slippery slope fallacy to support your argument like life's gonna be complete slop as an athlete with little sample size. Who said it would be easy nigga. If it were easy to get something u want then everybody would already have it. Muh LeBron 6 foot 9. Shortest NBA player was 5 foot 3 and then many others below 6 ft jfl. Using the word 'objectively' is dumb because this thread you have made is subjective from the mindset of a coper 'subjective'

Who do you think will make it farther and end up with more in life, I guy who believes he could do something great, or a guy who looks at the stats and is like "well what if this what if that..." Mindset of a pussy with no drive like you jfl.

Also I find it funny that you sit here and cope about the 1 percent "muh media and shi as a millionaire."
Holy cope of all time. Nigga has never heard of retirement and tim duncan-maxxing. You only need around 5 decent years in the NBA to do it.

I got contributor because I support and give helpful information instead of tearing down peoples dreams. Mirin how your Cherry picking one thread again to make a forced opinion about my ability to withhold a title. Getting mad when someone challenges your 'objective' opinion (which is not possible) and reverting to this shit to win an argument. Keep using your fallacy's to attempt to win your argument.

you'd still just reply and do something pathetic like point at some 6'8 NBA player who managed to party during the summer, and think that in itself is enough to challenge my initial claim.

Your legit asking the average man to rack up 5 years in the NBA so he can retire afterwards and FINALLY enjoy his status and money, are you seriously saying this is feasible for the average man than to work towards rather than being a digital nomad who lives life on his own terms? how am I the one spreading negative rhetoric when am promoting a more viable solution for most men, even athletes?

Not to mention you're just putting words in my mouth in a lot of these claims, and you skipped some entirely, which is why I didn't even bother challenging your response. It would have just been unnecessary cortisol trying to come to a logical conclusion with you and your claims, since your immune to being nuanced.

Yeh

Training 6 days a week, twice a day, 10 months out of the whole year constantly, whilst having to maintain a turbo-strict diet, perfect recovery, a perfect sleep schedule, etc is brutal.

Am not even at the pro-level yet and I feel completely burnt out after just 4 months of consistently training, maintaining diet, etc. Can't imagine how brutal it must be to do that for years on end, for most likely a shit salary and no status to gain.

But I can somewhat understand how someone might find that life appealing, its just not for me, nor is it feasible for most people.

 

[Minoxidilf]

100%. I used to do sports in HS and MS for status halo but honestly even that is overrated. There was so many niggas on my team that didn't get any play and there was niggas that didn't play any sports but still got play cuz the shi still boils down to looks and inhib

If I could go back I'd just do gym and maybe martial arts and spend the rest of my time smoking weed with jailbaits in my moms civic

You only need 5+ good years in the nba or a major sport to retire aka 1-2 good contracts, the reaosn most players go broke is because most are not role players let alone stars, so they make 12 million and then live as if they will always be in the nba or nfl, nhl etc.

Interesting but i think the only thing worth while is maybe boxing because the pay is lot higher then mma and other combat sports. Literally in boxing they make 5-10x more per fight then in mma/other combat sports. In mma they paying mediocre fighters like 150k per fight after taxes and stuff thats trash, and fighters only fight 2-3 fights a year

Yeah thats what I said. Even if you're not that good you still don't have to play more than 10 years if you want to make over 10 mill, and that's on the minimum level of contract in the NBA (1 mill a year)

heck even if you played in the g league and make 200k a year you would still be set because i believe you only need 3 years in the nba to be vested, so even if you play only 3 years in the nba-g league you will get a pension check till the day you die you get the full benefits 10 years after retiring. The pension is based on how many years you played, there are still nba players who played 10 years in the 80s and 90s now still getting 180k a year in pension money. Most nba players are not on the league min, the only ones on league min tend to be those at the bottom percent of players who drift in and out of the nba g-league over the years.

athletes are just slaves. the olympians of the old weren't training at facilities since youth, they were hunting, practicing combat, wrestling, and going out and killing people. they didn't train. the just walked around town carrying animals on their back. they lived life, they didn't get forced into academies like modern athletes and olympians
