Why do MLB players generally paid way more but NBA players are more famous?

Hitting a 3 pointer consistently is far harder than hitting curve balls, LOL @ people who think its hard to hit a home run.

trust me dude its not hard to hit a home run. The reason its always touted as being hard is because the sport is played by docile ****s who couldn't hit a 10 pound turd thrown at them so they need to compensate for their lack of athleticism by perpetuating a myth thats its a hard thing to do. Trust me its not.

The average NBA player makes more than the average MLB player because there are less NBA players. Also NBA players play way fewer games.

No salary cap in baseball so the top tier contracts are higher, but if there wasn't a limit on individual players salaries Lebron would easily make more than $30m, same with Durant and a few other guys.
