Leading the way is Golden State Warriors‘ latest signing, Chris Paul. However, his Warriors counterpart Stephen Curry is soon set to take over his place with a couple of max contracts on the way.
Interestingly, 2016 NBA champion and former Rookie of the Year, Kyrie Irving, ranks quite low in the rankings. He is the 7th highest-paid point guard in NBA history with $236,774,149 in career earnings.
