As much as players want to thrive on the court nowadays, you know the forward-thinking athletes are wanting to diversify their bonds like Wu-Tang Financial and getting their business together off the court.
FORBES has put together a list of some of the highest paid NBA players for the 2018-2019 season, which include endorsements.
To no surprise LeBron James leads all players with $88.7 million, considering he is endorsed by Nike, Sprite, Beats by Dre, KIA, and more (not to mention his own business ventures). Surprisingly, Russell Westbrook cracks the Top 5, with only Steph Curry and Kevin Durant ahead of him and James Harden rounding out the list.
