Every NBA player is well paid, but some guys are bringing home the bacon big time. The skills are excellent, the god-given gifts enviable, but perhaps most impressive are the earnings. NBA players have two main sources of revenue: salary from the team, and endorsements from companies and brands. The sport’s top-earners made more off the court through lucrative endorsements and sports deals than their overly generous salaries.
