The NBA is one of the sports leagues that pays its stars the best and in recent years the most important contracts in its history have been signed. Next, we will count down the five best deals of the last decade.
5. Joel Embiid ($195 million/4 years)
Embiid is currently one of the top favorites for MVP and is making good on his huge contract with the 76ers signed in 2021. His impressive technical and physical ability will earn him $48 million per year starting next season.
4. Rudy Gobert ($205 million/5 years)
While Gobert isn’t given as much credit as other NBA defensive stars, he’s one of the most dominant in the paint in recent years. As a figure of the Jazz, the Frenchman got a renewal that will make him earn $41 million per season.
3. Luka Doncic ($207 million/5 years)
Doncic’s remarkable start to his career has him on track to be one of the NBA’s top players for years to come, and the Mavericks took advantage to secure their star’s presence, earning him $41 million a year.
2. Stephen Curry ($215 million/4 years)
Curry is one of the most important players the NBA has had over the last decade, being the main manager of the change in offensive dynamics; being crowned MVP twice. The three-time champion will earn an average of $53 million a year with the Warriors.
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($228 million/5 years)
It’s no wonder Giannis finds himself in the top spot, given his two MVPs in recent seasons and his status as an NBA superstar. She will earn $45.6 million on average per season with the Bucks throughout her contract.
