Jet and Kobe are the names that surprised me. It makes me wonder if wins produced fully captures their contributions.
Methodology aside I also don't have much problem with the underpaid list either. It makes intuitive sense that 24 of the 30 players on the list are playing on contracts that artificially cap their value (rookie or max). Say what you want about Lebron, if there were no caps on player salary he’d be making $30M+ right now.
