"Never Got The Big Money" Part II: The Scottie Pippen Theory

 



It's been a while since I posted part one of “Never Got The Big Money”: Charles Comiskey, Scottie Pippen and the American Ideal of the Underpaid Professional Athlete, the first part of a detailed analysis of the 1919 White Sox player salaries which will be presented in a series of posts here at An Uptown Dandy. In part two published below, we discuss the definition of what it means for a professional athlete to be overpaid. To better understand the generally accepted notions of what it means to be underpaid, we take a closer look at another Chicago club, the NBA's Bulls, and Scottie Pippen's role on the 1997-1998 team.
