NBA player salaries can be affected by many things, from how well players play on the court to their popularity off the court. For teams, knowing what affects these salaries can help them make better decisions. For players, it can be useful to understand what they should focus on to boost their earnings. In this project, we have explored which factors have the biggest impact on NBA player salaries. We’ll look at different aspects like performance stats and social media presence to see what really matters. This analysis aims to give both teams and players a clearer idea of how salaries are determined.
