Ethics, huge salaries and the Boston Celtics

 This will be short and sweet. Is it ethical for NBA superstars, including the Celtics Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, to get supermax deals in the range of $50-60 million per year? My favorite definition of ETHICS is: The greatest good - for the most people - for the longest time Pro basketball's main function , despite becoming Big Buiness, is to supply entertainment and serve as a pleasant diversion for fans. The NBA does just that for millions of fans, and has been around for a long time.  Salaries have soared in the League, and if that is what is required to maintain the NBA in a healthy, successful, entertaining status, then perhaps that answers my initial question - particularly if wealthy players give back to the communities and the world in the form of some kind of aid. "Greatest good-for the most people-for the longest time". Long live the NBA, which hopefully will not self-destruct under the heavy weight of the money it takes in.
