Jalen Rose
New York Knicks (NBA)
Last Year's Rank: 48




Point guard/small-forward slasher is in the final season of a seven-year, $93 million albatross of a contract.

Dan Gadzuric gets 36 million for 6 years of being in Bogut's shadow.

The NBA contracts are guaranteed right? I mean they get all that money no matter what. So they could sign that fat deal and then take it easy the next 5 years and still get paid.

How can it not make you sick to see the kind of numbers these people are getting paid to play a game? Do they really need 15 million a year while Joe six pack is in the stands struggling to pay rent? Really makes you want to give up pro sports when you think about it
