Today’s
NBA players rank among the richest athletes in the world. The name and fame
increases manifold as the teams enter the prestigious NBA
playoffs. While NBA fans all
over the world are eager to know where their favourite teams and players stand
in NBA rankings, there are other things that the fans love to know about their
favourite players. So, read on to know some of the most lucrative deals in NBA
history.
Kobe Bryant
He
signed a seven-year, $136.4 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004,
surpassing Garnett's six-year, $126 million deal with the Minnesota
Timberwolves as the richest in league history (though not in annual value). He
is incredibly popular internationally, especially in China post-Yao and
McGrady.
Kevin Garnett
The
three-year, $34 million deal he signed with the Boston Celtics in 2012 made him
the highest-earning player in NBA history, with contracts totalling over $328
million.
Le Bron James
He is the reason, his team has managed
to stay on the top of NBA
standings. He is endorsed by
some of the world's largest corporations, including Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola
and Samsung. Though James took a slight pay cut to sign with the Miami Heat in
2010, he still makes around $20 million annually off that contract.
Tim
Duncan
Though Duncan has never been one for the advertising world, the 16 year
veteran wrapped up a seven-year, $122 million contract in 2010.
Ray
Allen
His endorsement deals are minor, but a
17-year career of high salaries and a starring film credit in Spike Lee's
"He Got Game" have boosted Allen's financial portfolio.
Vince
Carter
He earned lucrative contracts from the
Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets plus endorsement deals for his high-flying
ways.
Dirk
Norwitzki
Norwitzki has no agent and traditionally
shies away from endorsements, but he's done well for himself business-wise. The
long-time Dallas Mavericks star is entering the third year of a four-year, $80
million contract.
