Doctors average salary is around \$110,000 a year, whereas NBA stars salary may well cross \$5,000,000 a season.

Why do sports players and television stars make more than doctors and politicians?

NBA stars create more money (ticket prices, jersey sales, merchandising, branding). However, only few basketball players play in the NBA, the 99% of basketball players are amateurs. But all the doctors earn realitively well.
