SOLO SALARI NBA, ATTUALI E FUTURI — Le grandi superstar NBA in una carriera finiscono a volte per guadagnare più soldi dagli endorsement pubblicitari e dagli investimenti fuori dal campo che dai salari percepiti dalle proprie squadre. Se si parla di soli stipendi, però, sia al momento attuale (stagione NBA 2020-21 inclusa) che in proiezione futura (con gli accordi pluriennali già firmati da alcuni di loro), le classifiche dei “Paperoni” NBA sono davvero interessanti. Ecco la top 15 dei patrimoni complessivi e la top 10 di quelli già incassati a oggi
