this shows that the players who are frequent amongst the top 10 for points per game within the NBA tend to paid bundles more than other players, but there are some players, such as Toronto Raptor's Franchise player Vince Carter whom makes 10 million this year and played only 28 games, was coming off extremely short in the points category. There are many others like Vince Carter, but the players who show up on the top 10 tend to be highly paid

here in basketball, its not as similar as basketball is, as in hockey, more frequently than not is there a high paid player that does not ever appear on the top 10 and people who arent paid as much as them end up scoring all the points.
