It's no secret that the big stars (and those a little less) earn huge salaries of tens of millions of dollars every season.
In a little more than two months, the 2022/23 season of the NBA - the 77th in number - will start and it's just the time to see who the ten players will earn the most money in the upcoming season.
It should be noted that Nikola Jokic, who signed the highest contract in NBA history last month ($251 million for five seasons), is only in 29th place with a salary of $33,047,804 per season, because until the end of the contract, his salary will increase from season to season.
That is, it is likely that in his last season under contract he will climb high in the rankings and who knows, maybe he will also occupy the top by then.
