1. During his prime in the 1980’s Larry Bird was one of the world’s best basketball players, making in excess of $7million per year playing for the Boston Celtics. However, at one point during his basketball playing days the NBA players went on strike. While on strike Larry took a job as a garbage man where he made approximately $30,000 per year.
   1. Given that Larry’s next best job, after being a basketball player, only paid $30,000, why couldn’t the Boston Celtics have simply paid Larry a bit more than $30,000 (or perhaps even ONLY $1 million) to play for them, rather than $7million?
