It is well known that James, Wade, Anthony and Paul are known as "The Four". It is said that the origin of this name can be traced back to 2008. On the eve of the Beijing Olympics, the four of them made a date to go to Macau. When they got off the plane, they went straight to the red-light district and dove headfirst into a Vietnamese bathhouse, which gave rise to the name "The Four Jets". Just over 10 years later, the good brothers of that year have a different night scene. Wade is the least cost-effective of the four jerks, with a payroll of 197 million, about 200 million less than Wong Chim
In terms of professional achievement, there is no doubt that Wong Chim is the highest, four MVPs, three championships, and the amazing ability to create countless records. He has become the history of the top 10 or even the top 5 superstars; followed by Wade, Wade's peak is not inferior to James, but after 2012 slipped too fast; ultimately, Paul and Anthony each have half a lifetime career, Paul's advantage is a few more goals, a defense a defense. However, their abilities and performances are not equally reflected in their professional contracts. So far, Yellow Stain has signed a whopping £390 million contract over the course of his career, the highest in the entire history of the NBA. Of course, that's what he should have taken. After all, he's been the league's No. 1 for more than 10 years; next, Paul signed a contract for $345 million; Anthony signed another $257 million contract; and only Wade has a career contract of less than $200 million, at just $197 million.
Wade's NBA farewell game. After playing this game, Wade retired and had nothing to do with the NBA. In his 16-year career, Wade played for the Heat, Bulls, Cavaliers, and finally returned to the Heat to say goodbye at the beginning of the dream. After 16 seasons in the NBA, Wade's paycheck totaled $197.47 million, nearly $200 million. But in the "banana boat four brothers", they ranked last. In his 16-year career, Wade earned nearly $200 million, but his salary is at the bottom of the four banana boat brothers
The highest career salary, of course, is LeBron James. After signing a four-year contract with the Lakers, James' NBA career salary will be $390.33 million. That number is already No. 1 among all players in NBA history. If James plays one more year after his contract ends, his paycheck could total more than $400 million. Next, there is Chris Paul. Paul entered the NBA in 2005, two years later than the other three. But that hasn't stopped him from surpassing a couple of his brothers in terms of earning money. Paul's NBA career salary will be $344.72 million, just $50 million less than James. Of course, most of the reason Paul is making so much money is because of the astronomical contract extension with the Rockets. This big $160 million contract allows Paul to feed and clothe himself. In the final season of the contract, 2022, Paul, 37, will make $44.21 million.
Next up is Carmelo Anthony. Anthony is now unemployed, but he hasn't lost any money. Anthony will make $2.39 million from the Rockets and Bulls this season, while the Hawks will give him $25.53 million. So, until now, Anthony has been living the good life. After 16 years in the NBA, Anthony's paycheck totaled $257.54 million. That's $60 million more than Wade.
