The Lakers are coming off their worst season since moving to Los Angeles, winning only 27 games while All-Star guard Kobe Bryant sat out all but six with multiple injuries.
Despite a miserable campaign, the Lakers were the most profitable franchise in the NBA -- by a large margin.
According to a memo distributed to teams by the NBA, the Lakers project to earn a $158.3-million profit for the 2013-14 season, before tax and revenue sharing.
The Chicago Bulls, second on the list, earned less than half that amount, at $75.7 million. The Clippers were seventh at $30.4 million. The Brooklyn Nets were the least profitable with a loss of $51.5 million, before tax/revenue sharing.

I'm not sure where in your post is evidence that Kobe is or isn't overpaid.

Idiots that say he's overpaid simply look at his statistics and production on the court the past couple seasons and not the amount of money he brings in and support he has not only in the U.S. but globally.

We're all betas swimming in Kobe's world.

He's been by far the greatest player of the 2000s. Of course they would.

Yep. I believe it was Tommy Karam (GOAT LSU professor) who went in depth in one of my classes about just how valuable Kobe is to the franchise, his brand recognition that helped the Lakers land that massive TV contract, and the massive following he has in China. You can argue his talent level now, but from the broader financial perspective, to think Kobe is overpaid is downright laughable.
