2, Davis (Mavericks): 57.6 million

3, Antetokounmpo (Bucks): 57.6 million

James (52.63 million) ranked 13th, falling out of the top ten for the first time during the Lakers!

Let's take a look at the performance of the above players last season;

1. Curry (Warriors): The sword is not old, three-pointers are like raining

averages 24.5 points + 6 assists per game, scoring 56 points in a single game is like taking a picture, and the three-point shooting percentage is 39.7% and is still a hero in the world.

2. Thick-eyed eyebrows (Maverick): There are many disasters and difficulties, and the ambitions are hard to fulfill. After the transfer, he only played 9 games, averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, but suffered retinal detachment surgery! Fighting with injuries is a tough guy, but its glass attributes are regrettable.

3. Antetokounmpo (Bucks): It is at its peak, sweeping thousands of troops

30.4 points + 11.9 rebounds + 6.5 assists! With 59 points and 20 assists in a single game, the NBA Cup MVP+ scoring champion was promoted to double championships.

4. Embiid (76ers): The fate is ill-fated, and the tiger has only played a new career low in 19 games, and the average average of 23.8 points cannot hide the shadow of knee injury. The playoff reimbursement made the salary of 55 million eclipse.

5. Jokic (Nuggets): easy to deal with, mainstay

accurate triple-double data (29.6 points + 12.7 rebounds + 10.2 assists) the best league! The dominance of high-level data is the best and is known as the "strongest active service".

6. Durant (Rockets): Older and stronger, one hundred steps through the Yang

26.6 points + 64.2% true hit rate! 25 points + 60% efficiency is unique in history for 13 consecutive seasons, and the transfer to the Rockets continues the legend.

7. Tatum (Celtic): mainstay, steel bars and iron bones

26.8 points + 8.7 boards + 6 assists! He fought for 40 minutes with wrist injury in the playoffs, and was a model worker in 114 consecutive playoff games.

8. Butler (Warriors): A tough guy in the playoffs, turning the tide

"pretending to die" in the regular season (17.5 points), and instantly turned into a god of killing in the playoffs! G1 has 25+5+5 steals in a single game, and the key ball is bloody.

9. Bill (Sun): High salary and low ability, unable to do so, 53.67 million yuan salary is only exchanged for 17 points + 3.7 assists, and 53 attendances are difficult to hide the decline. The biggest shortcoming of the Big Three of the Suns.

10. Jaylen Brown (Celtic): Stable as a rock, with an offense and defense averaged 22.2 points + 5.8 rebounds per game, 22.1 points + 7.1 rebounds in the playoffs, and a 5-year contract worth the money.

James (Lakes): An old horse is in the stable, with ambitions

24.4 points + 7.8 rebounds + 8.2 assists! At the age of 40, he is still an all-round warrior, but his salary of 52.63 million fell out of the top ten for the first time - a microcosm of the change of the times.

The characters are worth it and some people are lying flat!

Sky-high contracts are flying everywhere, with people worth it (Curry, Jokic), some are injured (Hyper Eyebrow, Embiid), and some are "stayed in the regular season and run away in the playoffs" (Butler)! When 40-year-old James gave up his salary throne, the NBA's money game has entered a new era - "Is it worth it?" The fans' account books are always filled with championship and passion!
