These will be the 10 best-paid NBA players in the 2025/2026 season

It is one of the most prestigious and profitable sports competitions in the world. The growth of the NBA in all aspects has led to an absolute revaluation of salaries, with exponential increases resulting in impressive contracts for the big stars. It is worth reviewing which players will earn the most in the upcoming season.

Up to ten players will earn over 53 million dollars in a single year. Imagine that amount in a normal life and try to grasp what it means for men under 40 years old. A life secured by their basketball skills, but they have had to work hard to reach that level. Currently, no player surpasses the 60 million dollar mark, but it cannot be ruled out that this glass ceiling will be shattered in the near future.

Leading the table is Stephen Curry, with a clear margin over his pursuers, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. It is remarkable that a player as seasoned as Kevin Durant still holds such a prominent position on this table, where players who continue to grow can increase their earnings in the coming years and climb in the rankings, like Towns, Booker, Tatum, or Brown. The top 10 leaves anyone speechless.
