There may be other answers or positions from sports that paid a heck of a lot more, but Reggie Bush comes to mind. Joke of a running back, slot receiver and punt returner at best. MAYBE a backup situational running back.

jon koncak Koncak is perhaps best remembered for the six-year, US$ 13 million contract he received from the Hawks in 1989 - an unprecedented total for a reserve. The deal was roundly criticized since it paid Koncak more than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Pavano was listed at 10 million (per year) in '07.
Good call.

Richie Sexton,
Last year he batted .205
The Mariners paid him 15.5 million.

Pavano, Giambi, Damon, Igawa...trying to think of other Yanks who make more than they are worth.
Remember Hideki Irabu?

Allen Iverson...yes, he can score (shooting a little over 40% with a ton of shots every game), he is quick, can steal the ball, etc. But he has never made any of his teammates better.

I agreed with the Vick pick even before his conviction. People actually referred to him as a "mega-star"...what a joke!!

I would have to disagree with that, although he was hurt he drew a ton of attention to the sport which is what he was paid to do. Healthy Beckham can still play with the best Originally Posted by louisvillekid

Believe it or not Jon Koncak was the first person I thought of when I read the thread topic. If I remember correctly they were paying his contract to the early 2000's after renegotiating the deal several times. Originally Posted by michael777

(On a more serious note, having read the thread I see far too many MLB names and nowhere near enough NBA guys. For instance, do you guys realize Stephon Marbury signed a four-year, $77 (!) million contract a few years ago?!)

i know it was a marketing thing, but he is kinda over the hill to be giving that kind of money. Originally Posted by BigLee55

Aw, Ep, that stings, I love the Ausmus. Plus even if his entire career was a bust, he'd still have cost his owners something like $35-$37 million tops. A lot more has been wasted on a lot less. Originally Posted by EaglesPhan36
