Maybe basketball players are just stingier?

Connaughton's career earnings are $52 million.

Blake Wesley $13.2 million.

Jerian Grant $7.8 million.

Demetrius Jackson $3.7 million.

Troy Murphy ~$60.0 million.

Matt Carroll $28.4 million.

And that doesn't include a lot of good players that have made a good living playing overseas like Francis, Jack Cooley, Luke Harangody, Zach Auguste, Tyrone Nash. I think Scotty Martin had more than a cup of coffee.

Brey was responsible for every player on that list. I know all those guys loved playing for him. But I don't recall many public or anonymous gifts coming in during his tenure.
