LeBron James is not only king on the court but he's king off. Forbes announced the highest-paid NBA players, endorsements included, and James is still sitting on top of the throne.
Arguably the most dominant player in the league, James is commanding the endorsements off the court. With an enormous lifetime deal signed with Nike and money coming from Samsung, James earnings know no bounds. James earned an estimated $48 million from endorsements despite the fact he has the third-highest salary (behind Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson) in the NBA.
Others to join James on the list are Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, and James Harden. All of the top-ten players have their own signature sneaker except Blake Griffin and James Harden but are signed to Jordan Brand and adidas respectively. adidas is represented by Derrick Rose and James Harden. Nike by LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant. Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin represent Jordan Brand. And Dwayne Wade and Dwight Howard represent oversea brands Li-Ning and Peak respectively.
