The market value of the NBA has increased significantly in recent years, and player income has also increased along with it. In addition to salaries, top stars also receive very generous income from endorsements, sponsorships, etc.
The well-known financial media Sportico also released the top 10 players' annual income for the 2022-23 season, including all income. Among them, the league's top two stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry ranked two respectively.
player | income |
LeBron James | 119.5 million |
Stephen Curry | 93.1 million |
Kevin Durant | 91 million |
Giannis Antetokounmpo | 86.5 million |
Russell Westbrook | 72.1 million |
Klay Thompson | 61.6 million |
Damian Lillard | 59.5 million |
James Harden | 52 million |
Chris Paul | 51 million |
John Wall | 47.9 million |
Among them, LeBron James's non-industry income is as high as 75 million, and the second place is Durant's 48 million. Curry's salary of 48.1 million ranks first.
What is more surprising is that the 10th place is John Wall, who has been injured for a long time. His salary is mainly composed of the Rockets' remaining contract of $40,866,760 plus the Clippers' salary of $6,479,000.
