You don’t understand because the terms aren’t subjective.

You have a religious belief in the linear progress fallacy, especially with sports because you don’t know much about them.

Just answer.

Did you mean revenue/valuation or style of play?

Sure you can give Curry credit for helping the growth (you could also credit him with the current stale product )

But I just think the biggest driving force of growth and revenue is due to things off the court. The NBA is expanding despite all of the signs the quality of sport would probably benefit from contraction. So the biggest driver there is likely wanting more product out there for even more TV content, they don’t care it will probably hurt the product long term

That certainly plays a role. I'm not giving it 100% to the players.

But that late 90s/early 00s generation would not have produced the same gains with the public, I'd argue, just as one example. They almost killed the NBA.

Curry has been a tool for most of his career. It’s sad really

Until you can offer a valid response to the simple questions being asked of you ITT, you've sunk yourself to irrelevancy.

The parameters of the NBA CBA being discussed have even been laid out for you and explained to you in simple terms so you don't even have to educate yourself to comment.

It's a simple math question based on the max salary calculation.

Again declaring yourself arbiter of validity is just another delusional tactic. You don’t understand, you’re upset about it, Biij touched on part of it but you just dismissed that as well. You’re a fanatic asking people to change your mind and it never dawns on you how ridiculous that is.

His comment had no real relationship to the questions you keep avoiding

If NBA teams weren't restrained by arbitrary max salary rules, would elite players earn annual salaries higher than 35% of the cap?

We do have some historical data that was posted earlier.

Michael Jordan made 122.2% of the salary cap in 1998. That's roughly 3.5x the 35% threshold.

I don't see why you'd think someone like Curry couldn't get 40-50% of the cap at a min, which means he's, by default, underpaid today.

But his argument is flawed. There are what 30 owners? But there are over 300 players. The revenue split is basically 50/50. What more does this guy want? He can't win without the other 4 guys on the court. These guys all talk about helping the little guy but if he got equity that would mean less for the dude at the end of the bench. O and he kept low income housing from being built close to his house. Rules for thee not for me.
