List of Highest-paid NBA players of all time

For 2021-22 season, the highest-paid NBA player by both total contract value and average annual value is with no surprise the Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, Stephen Curry is the player with the single highest salary.
This list is not including Nikola Jokic since his contract did not start yet but he will definitely join the party as soon as his contract starts.

Some of this list might surprise you and some were expected. But number 10 and number 11 were clearly not expected to be that close.
