James is ranked first with 580 million! US media reveals the top 20 NBA historical revenue: Durant is ranked 6th, Curry is ranked second

James ranked first with US$580 million! After some stars signed the new contract during the offseason, the US media "hoopshype" released the top 20 NBA historical revenue list based on the latest situation, including Durant ranked 6th and Curry ranked second.

No. 5: Embiid ($514.845,898)

At its peak, Embiid was one of the best inside players in the service. He even defeated Jokic, the recognized first player in active combat, to win the MVP with his aesthetic fatigue. Unfortunately, Embiid was unable to stay healthy for a long time.

According to the latest report by famous reporter Brett Siegel, Embiid's injury situation is still not optimistic and unclear, and it can even be described as bad. Except for the 76ers, no one in the league believes that he will recover 100%. Some people have compared him with Xiaoka.

Last summer, the 76ers reached a three-year early contract renewal worth $187 million, which made some people inside the 76ers feel regretful and allowed Embiid to successfully enter the top five of the list.

4th place: George ($518.679,877)

What made the Sixers desperate was that the team not only provided Embiid with a large early contract renewal last summer, but also used a large contract to poach George from the Clippers, who was also suffering from injuries.

Similar to Embiid's condition, George was also one of the best players in the same position at his peak, a reasonable MVP competitor, and one of the best two-way players in active service, but he was also troubled by injuries.

According to reporter Brett Siegel, George is expected to miss the early stages of training camp in the new season, and he will still get more than $50 million in the new season, and the contract will continue for many years.

Third place: Booker ($533.953349)

As the core of the Suns, Booker has experienced the ups and downs of the team, but has always insisted on staying at the team to maintain "one person, one city", which has prevented him from getting the best chance to compete for the championship, but he has received enough rewards in terms of salary.

After the Big Three failed to bet this summer, the Suns cleared out Durant and Bill, but did not send Booker away. The latter did not force the palace to leave the team, but signed a two-year fat contract worth $145 million with an average salary of more than $70 million.

Plus he has three years left in the contract, and these two big contracts directly allowed Booker to reach the third place on the list. In addition, he is only 28 years old, Booker has the hope of further improving his ranking in the future.

Second place: Curry ($535.799,872)

As the best scorer in NBA history, Curry is also a representative figure of the active "one person, one city". He should have made more money with such qualifications.

He was reluctant to suffer from injuries at the beginning of his career, and his personal playing style problems, Curry signed a low-cost contract that could be called a "child labor contract" at the beginning of his career, which led to him not being able to get the top spot.

Currently, his contract will be extended to the end of the 26-27 season, when he will be 39 years old. Whether he can further improve his ranking in the future depends on whether Curry can remain in shape in the future and whether he is willing to continue fighting.

No. 1: James ($583.949426)

James is the "longest river" in NBA history, with a long peak period, which allows him to earn the first place in history even though he frequently changes teams and is unable to sign the largest contract many times.

Even at the peak of his career, James often likes to choose to sign one year to urge his team to strengthen, which largely sacrifices salary returns but gives him greater commercial value.

However, as age increases, James failed to reach a contract extension with the Lakers this summer. As the league's salary space further expands, James is likely to lose the top spot in the future.

The rest are ranked as follows:

6-10: Durant, the Mavericks, Lillard, Alexander and Tatum;

11-15: Antetokounmpo, Irving, Kat Jr., Bill and Harden;

16-20: Jokic, Butler, Jaylen Brown, Fox and Paul.
