LeBron James is set to become the highest-paid NBA player in history this season, and that’s with a low estimate.
James topped Forbes’ list of the highest-paid NBA players for the ninth straight year on Thursday, and he’s nearly $30 million ahead of everyone else.
The league’s 10 highest-paid players are set to collect about $750 million before taxes and agent fees. That figure broke last year’s record total of $714 million and is up more than 120% over the past decade.
James will make about $44 million from the Los Angeles Lakers this season to wrap up his two-year, $85.
