"The Draft classes that have generated the most money in NBA history"

Víctor LF - 29 Nov 2024

If we add up the incomes of all the players who are new to the league selection process, which is the year with the highest amount of dollars?

NBA Draft 2011

Money is one of the major leitmotifs in the world of the NBA. Today, we wanted to do an exercise around that. By compiling what all players have earned in the history of the league and dividing them by each Draft, we have come up with a ranking. It is interesting to see that in recent years, many more dollars are being generated, and we can observe how members have been valued in different classes.

The class of 2011 is the first one, with names like Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, and Tobias Harris. But we also see that two historic classes, from 2003 and 1996, are present. In the one from 21 and a half years ago, we have LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and David West, while in the older of the two, we find Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Jermaine O'Neal, Allen Iverson, and Stephon Marbury.
