In the NBA, player salaries have risen in step with the league’s revenue growth. Shaquille O’Neal received 17.1 million U.S.D as the biggest salary for the 2000 tournament; by 2023, 80 players had surpassed this threshold.

The greatest salaries are always paid to the superstar athletes. As a result of their service to the host team, several players also hold significant salaries even though they merely play satellite roles.
