i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.

The media makes alot of hype for certain player and that makes them overrated although that they have only a decent performance. This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though )

Bold - what are you talking about? somebody who is consistent and plays well or great will ALWAYS earned a good/decent contract no matter if he is popular off the court or not.
Duncan is your perfect example - there were never stories about Duncan off the court, he was probably the most boring person for the media to talk to, BUT he performed on the court and is the greatest PF ever!

Conley
- never been an All Star
- averaged of 15.3 points, 6.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game (is that WORTH THE BIGGEST CONTRACT EVER?!)
- and he will never be able to carry the team in the playoffs. EVER! - meaning - Conley cannot beat you alone, simply cannot - i.e. Curry can, Lillard can

Conley were able to carry his team in the playoffs especially when the squad are healthy. I just hope that Conley will be more inspired to play this season and give his best to commensurate the organization of the amount he is currently earning.

History tells us that this is not the first time that players are being overpaid. It is not their problem if they get paid that much. They just have to play really hard and be able to positively impact their teams. We've seen before the likes of Rashard Lewis, Juwan Howard and others being overpaid because of too high expectations from them.

But todays are different story they have different team and different skillset brought up by them perfect example with that is durant look at his stats says hes scoring champ and can score 40+ points a game and thats why he deserved to get overpayed and thats the reason why they take durant and gamble those great boys in this league because they believe durant be a great addition and bring back the Championship in their house. Those past highly payed are overdue they dont have perfect teammates to fill the right position and dont have perfect chemistry thats why they are beaten but look at those in gsw now they will beat the teams and surpass our expectation i believe.

No question with durant because he is a legitimate star having a good lenght and speed in basketball. He even getting compared to lebron james and kobe bryant before curry became popular. He is definitely a good fit in the warriors as they are a strong team already.
