So, back to Dave’s question. How much do Big 3 players make? Enough to pay the bills, but not enough to retire. Unless you’re a captain or a legend, you’re basically playing for the love of it.
But here’s the ironic part: these guys are probably happier than many NBA players. No practice demands, no 82-game grind, no media circus. They show up, play 50-point games, and go home. And they get paid—in cash and in glory.
Next time you watch a Big 3 game, tip your cap. Those players aren’t rich. They’re just still living the dream—and getting a decent paycheck for it.
