Huh? I don't think that was Matt's take at all. It has nothing to do with the quality of CP3 as a player. It has to do with the head of the players association being one of the highest paid players in the league and how that might impact his ability to represent the average NBA player.
across industries, it's common for union presidents to make significantly more than rank and file members. in regards to CP3, him having a bigger payday compared to the 3rd string PG on the orlando magic is hardly a conflict of interest. as a player who was consistently eligible for max contracts, it makes sense for him to push for higher salary caps, which would get him and the "average" player paid more. since he's become union president, that salary cap has nearly doubled in 7-8 years. not saying that it's all been because of him but tell me another professional sports' franchise that has a stronger CBA and players' union?
