All 10 of the highest-paid NBA players in history played this season. But most of them are having a hell of a time staying on the floor. Here's the list in order: 1. LeBron James ($581 million) 2. Kevin Durant ($501 million) 3. Stephen Curry ($470 million) 4. James Harden ($411 million) 5. Paul George ($406 million) 6. Chris Paul ($404 million) 7. Kawhi Leonard ($378 million) 8. Jimmy Butler ($366 million) 9. Damian Lillard ($365 million) 10. Anthony Davis ($364 million) The main thing that sticks out when looking at this list is injuries. AD, Dame and Jimmy are already out for the rest of this season. LeBron missed the first 14 games of the year, Steph's been on the bench for 16, while Kawhi's sat for 13. PG13 is suspended, but even when he isn't, it seems like he's always hurt as well. And, of course, CP3 was cut by the Clippers 16 games into the season and eventually retired. That's a lot of old money. And recently, a lot of wasted money too.

Nothing but love for a legend. Donovan Mitchell kept it honest when talking about Chris Paul’s NBA exit. “I think he deserved a better way to go out. For a Hall of Famer, for a legend, for a point guard like that to go out like that…is definitely tough.” That’s real respect from one star to another. The ending didn’t come with the big farewell tour fans expected after stops with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Toronto Raptors. But CP3’s impact goes way beyond how it wrapped up. He elevated franchises, mentored the next generation, and proved that the pure point guard still matters in today’s game. The last chapter may have been quiet, but the legacy is loud. And when the league’s best are giving you your flowers, you know you did it right.
