For a league wherein star energy so drastically determines outcomes, cash is extra evenly distributed amongst gamers than you would possibly anticipate.
Within the final 20 years, All-Star gamers (roughly 5 % of the gamers in any given NBA season) have obtained solely 16.59 % of whole league salaries. For All-NBA gamers (15 yearly), the quantity can be 10.37 %.
However which groups spend probably the most cash on these star gamers?
We tried to seek out out by specializing in All-NBA alternatives up to now twenty years (since we now have 30 groups within the league).
Unsurprisingly, the Los Angeles Lakers prime the checklist, having spent $792.7 million on All-NBA gamers – 30.61 % of their whole wage expenditure. Curiously, they rank twenty ninth in spending on non-All-NBA gamers.
Extra surprisingly, the small-market Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder rank second, investing $484.8 million in All-NBA expertise. Additionally they rank final in non-star participant bills. A main instance of environment friendly useful resource allocation proper there.
