At no point in the article did Jason Smith complain about making $2.1 million. In fact, the only thing he said was that he set aside some money like most players because everyone knew the lockout was coming. Kurt was just using him as an example to show that the only people being hurt by the lockout now are the entry-level people working 9 to 5 that don’t earn enough money. Next time please develop some reading comprehension skills before posting.

this is why sooooo many ppl hate nba players. he only made 2.1 million in one year poor freaking baby! guys like me who work 50 hours a week to take care of my family would kill for half that and these over paid cry babies want more. i hope they lose the whole season and the nba tanks because of it. this is why i watch college basketball over nba!

I was a ticket sales rep for an NBA team; they laid us off in late April because of the lockout.

Basketball is what you play when you’re not an athlete, but want to still be called one…

what a joke that teams like the Lakers are laying off people. That’s a good way to curry favor among the fans especially one week into the lockout.
