So for me to answer your question, maybe you should pick a different athlete from a team that actually plays in a subsidized building.
Also, Kobe's salary going into next season is 21M. Last season it was 20M. Where did you get the $30M?

Prove it. I doubt the Lakers receive not a penny of taxpayer susidy, which is the norm in the NBA. Is LA's owner just big hearted?
Maybe LA is different but you know I'm right as to every other or virtually every other team. Bennett's team moving to Oklahoma had nothing to do with capitalism. You must have learned your econ from Karl Marx.
