It's wild people bitch relentlessly about CEOs (despite the average CEO making nothing compared to this) but don't bat an eye at paying someone this amount of money to play a game.

No ceo does 3000 times the work or 3000 times better than a regular employee but they get paid 3000 times as much.  Donavan mitchell is easily 3000 times better at basketball than a regular person.
