During the height of his 21-year career, Kevin Garnett had the highest single-season salary in NBA history raking in at $28 million. His salary is also one of the reasons why there is now a salary cap in the NBA. Throughout his career, Garnett earned a total of $334.3 million. A big chunk of this came from his six-year contract in 1996 worth $126 million.
Another retired veteran who made serious money was 18-time All-Star Kobe Bryant. Despite a season-ending knee injury in 2013, he has amassed $323,300,000 in the span of 20 seasons. His highest-single season salary was $30.5 million.
The next name on this list is unlikely to reach the 300 million mark is still actively playing for the Dallas Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki is one of only seven players who has reached over 30,000 points in their career. His highest single-season salary was $25 million, and his total earnings in the league now at $246.6 million.
