"30 years ago today: Bulls sign Michael Jordan to rookie contract. 5-year deal in today's $ would be $13.7M"

George "7/7" Mikan, 1946

When Mikan graduated from DePaul in 1946, he went to the Chicago Gears professional team with a five-year contract. His $12,000 annual salary was the highest ever paid to a basketball player. During his rookie season, Mikan scored an average of 16.5 points per game and helped the Gears win their league's championship.

8yr, 25mil. Dumb amount of years to agree to.
