id say just from lurking in the past and seeing salaries the average NBA player makes more, id say around $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 a year

average baseball players probably around $500,000

I could probably find it somewhere...I just know it to be a fact...With more players, minor league salaries to be paid...MLB Teams have much more expenses..They just can't pay as much on average...There are NBA Players on the bench making more than MLB starters...
