not to argue with the numbers....but i remember jordan making 30+ in ATLEAST 2 seasons...90 million seems unreasonable
Yea, it was actually 1997 $30,140,000 1998 $33,140,000 Which means the rest of his 14 years, he made a combined total of $30,492,500. But like the guy above said, he made a hell of a lot through endorsements.
If anyone else doubts me about Juwan being the most overrated player in history. Look at how much he made. Juwan and Webber have stolen so much from the NBA.
Michael Jordan 1985 $550,000 1986 $630,000 1987 $737,500 1988 $845,000 1989 $2,000,000 1990 $2,250,000 1991 $2,500,000 1992 $3,250,000 1993 $4,000,000 1994 $4,000,000 1995 $3,850,000 1996 $3,850,000 1997 $30,140,000 1998 $33,140,000 2002 $1,000,000 2003 $1,030,000 Career (may be incomplete) $93,772,500 R2K - Yes Patricia's site is better but she doesn't give the full career numbers like this one does.
According to this site, Calvin Murphy is a BILLIONAIRE. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/murphca01.html 1973 $115,000 1974 $135,000 1975 * $1458333333 1976 * $1566666667 1977 * $167,500 1978 * $1783333333 1979 * $1891666667 1980 $200,000 1981 $250,000 Career (may be incomplete) $6700867500
Does Shaq make that type of money nowadays? 30 million for a season . . . that's some whacky tobbacky
Shaq is going to make 30 million this season. It's the final year of his current contract. His extension is reportedly going to be a 5 year deal worth 125 million.
Looking at Drexler's and Barkley's salaries compared to some of the current players, its amazing how salaries skyrocketed in the late nineties.
Damon Stoudamire had a career salary of $ 86 M. I guess he really should be reasonable and take the vet's minimum from us...he's made enough!
