In last few years the NBA salaries reach to the maximum level and some good players get offering like $200 million for 4-5 years. I believe every NBA player want to get the maximum contract but they should work hard for that and should earn that. And also i am sure that they are working very hard to become a great player.. After they become great player they also need to stay on top and i believe that would be the hardest part for them. They must never stop working!
But as we know there are rewards! Millions of US Dollar.. Do you know LeBron James has earned $270 million for 16 NBA season but this is only his salary.. He has earned more than $550 million from his from endorsements.. And he is keep earning.. Soon he will become a billionaire.. It sound quite wierd right? Yes, he is the one of the greatest player ever played but billion is anormous kind of money for me.. If we check LeBron's partners; Rimowa Luggage, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Blaze Pizza, Beats By Dre and NBA 2K. These big companies will pay $55 million to James in 2019..
The legend MJ (Michael Jordan) today have $1.9 billion wealth.. Last year MJ made $150 million from Jordan sneaker brand. I believe that he is a great businessman! Kevin Durant who will miss entire of 2019-20 NBA season, he has signed with Nike brand, he will get $250 million for 10 years..
