Abstract

As a business league, there are a lot of business in the NBA, and the most hotly debated one is the salary of NBA players. The difference between one players salary and another might be like a chasm, even though those players are in the same league. In this paper, we selected over 100 players who play in the NBA league and separated them into two parts by their salaries and performance. We collected different datasets for those players, both on-court and off-court, to find out which factor is highly related to the salary. We aim to help NBA teams and players find the right salary for each one of them. The result of our research is surprising. We found out that factors like age, points per game, and field goal percentage are not quite related to the salary the players get paid, but the real plus-minus and the followers on social media are highly related to the players salary.
