Probably a pretty decent amount, but who would I, personally, have the money
from basketball revenues? The players, who I actually pay to see, or the
bloated parasitical owners who do little or nothing for my enjoyment of
game(other than threaten to take the team and leave if their concessions
aren't met). That was my original point and I'll stick to it.

Have you ever seen a retired basketball player walk? All of those knee
surguries, ankle and foot injuries sure make them look rather crippled to
me. For a playing example look at Arvadys(sp?) Sabonis. He wasn't always
that slow and stiff by any stretch of the imagination.

And pro baskbetball players bring in an even larger amount to their teams.
How much money(other than membership dues) do you bring in at the local Y?
