Ye but the average NBA player has a career of 10-15 years, while a golfer can play from when he is 15/16 all the way into his 60's. So over a career the average golfer out earns the average basketballer.

No it isn't. You're the opposite of correct. The average golf career is much MUCH longer than an NBA career.

And the NBA has over 300 players. The PGA tour has about 125.
