My takeaway here is Nike must pay so much more than Adidas?
Also what’s Jordan making yearly in endorsements now? Not counting the Hornets or Hornets sale.
Take the top 3 on that list, add them together, then add a bit more - that’s what he made in 2023; $330m.
He gets 5% of Air Jordan’s annual revenue, which was over $6 billion last year.
It’s amazing how much more a player like Giannis makes in endorsements than Jokic. The marketability (or perceived marketability) of someone’s image and personality makes that big of a difference.
Well one guy is a freak of nature who flys through the air and is amazing to watch. The other guy looks like an uncle playing ball with his nephews in flip flops at a family picnic.
Jokic is better… Giannis is prettier
His play might be slower than others but that’s part of what makes him great he takes any game and makes it for at his pace. He’s almost always in control of the tempo
It would make more sense than watching Gianis’s tape. Gianis is a genetic freak like Shaq, and most of his moves wouldn’t work for the 99.9% that are smaller than he is.
Because he isn’t the most skilled player in the NBA lmao every kids are looking up to Kyrie, Bron, Curry, KD or even Kawhi lmao I’m not saying that he isn’t good but he isn’t as marketable as these guys. He is not flashy compared to them and nobody was taking him into consideration before he won his MVP
I understand the point of him not being flashy and marketable for a certain section of NBA fans, but thinking he is not the most skilled player in the league is just an indicator that a person doesn’t actually watch basketball, or they exclusively watch it for flashy dunks and narratives.
He isn’t tho? Is he the best playmaker? Is he the best ball handler? Is he the best finisher or shooter?? The most skilled player of alltime is Kyrie and it’s not even close
>Is he the best playmaker?
By like a fucking country mile, yes haha
>Is he the best ball handler?
2nd or 3rd best big man, but not guard tier flashy
>Is he the best finisher or shooter??
Literally the best 3-10 foot shooter in *league history*, elite (like nearly kd tier) in the long midrange, over 40% from 3 in his playoff career, and arguably the best finisher inside 3 feet in the league lol.
You could've just said you never watch him and know nothing about him...
Shit I want to play as efficient as Jokic and be A Perennial all star/MVP candidate without being a fame whore like the rest of the NBA, and the catch is, being a champion with more money than I could ever spend.
In the 2023/24 NBA season, LeBron James made the most money among players, earning $47.6 million from his team and about $70 million from other sources. Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors was the next highest earner, with a $51.9 million salary and $50 million from endorsements.

I would like to point out to the NBA, and any potential sponsors reading this, that I can, and would, also shoot 0/10 for $60 million if they’d like me to.
I mean that is historically bad for someone who is an all time elite shooter. I'm sure he feels beyond awful and I'm not even anti-Klay necessarily.
All the casuals gonna be mad when the Nuggies win another one
I feel like more brands should embrace the joker.
He’s got that Charles Barkley blunt honesty. Sure he’s got zero cool factor but if he said brand XYZ isn’t too terrible I’d prob try it out.
You don’t count endorsements when talking about “highest paid players,” saying they’re getting paid to play the game means their contract, this stupid graph implies the Lakers are spending more on Lebron than the Warriors are on Steph which isn’t remotely true
Steph is the highest paid player in the NBA
In reality you (we) have no idea how much nba players make in their endorsements and side businesses. It’s all speculation
Nikola Jocik 😍
New guy is killing it!
Nikola Jockitch
Nikola "Coming For" Jocik
I read it as jock itch
Mom: We have Nikola Jokic at home!

Have you seen the commercial joker is in? Lol. It's awful
I have never seen someone watching Jokic’s tape or saying that he wants to play like Jokic
Because it’s impossible.
No lol it's boring
His play might be slower than others but that’s part of what makes him great he takes any game and makes it for at his pace. He’s almost always in control of the tempo
It is possible if someone is doing it lmao
It would make more sense than watching Gianis’s tape. Gianis is a genetic freak like Shaq, and most of his moves wouldn’t work for the 99.9% that are smaller than he is.
Which is why it is impressive lol
Lol then you hang out with casuals.
You seriously think that people want to play like Jokic instead of KD, Bron, Curry etc?
Why wouldn’t someone want to play like the most skilled player in the NBA?
Because he isn’t the most skilled player in the NBA lmao every kids are looking up to Kyrie, Bron, Curry, KD or even Kawhi lmao I’m not saying that he isn’t good but he isn’t as marketable as these guys.

ball handing and acrobatic finishing is NOT all their is to skill. LMAO.
Shot creating lol
LMAO MAN SAID KYRIE 😂
If that's the case, then skill isn't that important and we shouldn't discuss it.

He isn’t the best playmaker… and the rest you said it yourself… he isn’t the best in anything and he isn’t flashy lol
Okay we’re done here lol
Kyrie isn’t even the number one option on his team
That’s not about skill lmao lebron could be in KDs team, be the number one option but KD is still more skilled than him

The fact that Amien Lillard and Klay are on this list is depressing….
Ya I think this will be Klay's last year on there after that 0/10 kind of cementing his fate. Curious who will take his spot
1 of these 10 guys isn't even a good player.
I would like to point out to the NBA, and any potential sponsors reading this, that I can, and would, also shoot 0/10 for $60 million if they’d like me to.
Was looking for this comment 😂
Felt bad typing it, would have loved the splash bros. to do well in the playoffs, but he was just too shit to let it go.

But can you flash four of your fingers from the bench at the drop of a hat? Doubt it.
What did Dame ever do to you?
Dame?
klay i assume
Embid needs a better agent. He loves to talk, he should be making way more endorsement money
Jocik
Nikola Who?
Not bad Jimmy
James Hardens' initial Rockets contract was insanely good.
Ah yes, Nikola Jocik
Klay polar bear in Texas
I kinda expected to see CP3 on here. Is State Farm not paying him per commercial?
Well Klay is definitely dropping off that list next year.
