"Wins in basketball are primarily about a team's ability to get and keep possession of the ball and then turning those possessions into points," Berri told CNBC.com in an e-mail. "In 2011-12, NBA teams paid $1.9 billion for 990 regular season wins. This means that the cost per win was $1.946 million. Given the cost of each win and knowing both how many victories each player produced and his salary allows us to see which players were overpaid."
All salary information was provided by Berri, who used data from the NBA draft projection site DraftExpress.com and from basketball analyst Patricia Bender. All data was compiled by Berri's colleague Arturo Galletti.

Check out David Berri's 10 most overpaid players in the NBA

The list:
10. Tyrus Thomas, Charlotte Bobcats (overpaid by $12,459,225)
9. Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets (overpaid by $12,784,867)
8. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks (overpaid by $12,851,295)
7. Corey Maggette, Charlotte Bobcats (overpaid by $12,862,248)
6. Mehmet Okur, Brooklyn Nets (overpaid by $12,988,657)
5. Chris Kaman, New Orleans Hornets (overpaid by $14,613,480)
4. Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks (overpaid by $14,918,309 )
3. Antawn Jamison, Cleveland Cavaliers (overpaid by $17,402,350)

I bet Dexter Pittman produces some of the biggest value for dollars per win.

Re: NBA Off Topic

This guy really put Dirk, Kobe and Deron Williams as some of the most overpaid.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Kobe being #2 on that list is very appropriate in my opinion

Thought this was pretty funny.

Some fellow Heat "fan" I was watching game 1 with asked who "the tall black guy" was with Pat Riley when they showed them in the stands.

SMMFGDH. Now I see why y'all hate Heat fans.

Don't worry we don't hate heat fans, we hate big 3 fans.

Ehhh, Heat fans were pretty brutal prior to the Big 3. The fact that they've never been higher than 4th in attendance in Dwyane Wade's entire time there tells all you need to know about them overall including 22nd and 24th in 2003 and 2004. The legit ones I've met are awesome though. Sucks that they get overshadowed by the vast majority of crappy fans that pop up there whenever things are going smoothly.
