Top 10 highest-paid players in the NBA right now

#4. John Wall (Washington Wizards)

John Wall comes in at 4

NBA Salary: $38,199,000

Despite being the Washington Wizard's franchise player, John Wall has not played much in the last few years. In his absence, Bradley Beal has taken over the reins, slowly turning into an NBA superstar. Many fans call Wall's current contract unearned and with the 30-year-old suffering an injury to his Achillies, doubts around his impact on the league upon his return seem justified.

#3. Russell Westbrook (Houston Rockets)

Russell Westbrook comes in at number 3

NBA Salary: 38,506,482

Despite being one of the best point guards in the NBA during the regular season, Russell Westbrook is yet to perform at the same heights during an NBA Playoff series.

After his showing against the OKC Thunder, many fans have been quick to scrutinize him, and it now depends on the player to prove himself to the rest of the world.

#2. Chris Paul (OKC Thunder)

Chris Paul is the second-highest-paid player in the NBA right now.

NBA Salary: $38,506,482

Leading a young OKC team to the NBA Playoffs and a seven-game series against the Houston Rockets, Chris Paul has proven that even at the age of 35, he is still one of the best point guards in the league. With the multitude of title contenders going after him, it isn't likely he will stay with the Thunder for very long, and he will probably get a new contract very soon. For now, however, he comes in at number 2 on our list.

#1. Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)

Stephen Curry is the highest-paid player in the NBA right now

NBA Salary: $40,231,758

Stephen Curry comes out on top in our list of the top 10 highest-paid players in the NBA right now. The greatest shooter of all time has led the Golden State Warriors to three NBA Championships and helped them become one of the most dominant teams of all time.

Unfortunately for many fans, Curry missed most of the 2019-20 regular season with an injury to his left wrist. But with the 32-year-old now fully fit, it is likely we will see another era of utter dominance from him from the start of the next season.
