Here is the list of highest paid basketball players in the NBA. The highest paid NBA player very surprisingly has played only 6 games this season, Tracy McGrady, with only 3 points per game. I guarantee his salary will significantly drop next year. If you look at the top 10 highest paid basketball player in the NBA some names might surprise you like Jermaine O’Neal who gets a little bit less than $23 million per year. Kobe Bryant is the most deserving in my opinion. He has proven himself to be one of the best basketball players in the world.
