The economic difference between the NBA and Europe is reflected in the comparison between the Cleveland Cavaliers and FC Barcelona.

Moreover, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and James Harden individually earn more than the entire Barcelona roster, while even NBA rotation players exceed the salaries of some Euroleague stars.
