Yes. The NBA collective bargaining agreement puts a max salary on players. In a free market LeBron would have made far more during his career, and the average player less.

This is exactly a case of increasing the median salary at the expense of top performers.

And isn’t that a good thing overall? Like isn’t that an outcome we generally want as a society?

If you check the recorded history you'll find that the NBA salary cap was there since the very first year of the league, and predates the union by several years: https://www.apbr.org/labor.html

The team salary cap and the individual max salary are different things.
