Salaries Quickly Outpace Other Sports Stars
AP report notes pro basketball salaries dwarf others as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar earns about 82,500 a month with the Bucks while Wilt Chamberlain allegedly tops the field with a claimed 1 million. Jerry West and Walt Frazier also command six-figure annual salaries, varying with teams and contracts. The piece contrasts football and baseball earnings, where most stars live on under 100,000 yearly, highlighting a two-league war inflating hockey pay. The text cites Johnny Bench at 82,500 annually and references Wes Unseld and others in a volatile market.
