Unveiled: The Jaw-Dropping Salaries of NBA’s All-Time Highest Earners
2. Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics (5 years, $285,393,640)
Years: 2024-28 AAV: $57,078,728 Signing Age: 26
Another player drafted third overall at just 19 years old by the Celtics, Brown received what was the largest contract in NBA history at the time of his signing with Boston. Brown conveniently made his first all-NBA team in the 2022-23 season, making him eligible to sign this SuperMax deal in the summer of 2023.
Some fans were puzzled by this contract, as Brown had only been named an All-Star in two of his seven NBA seasons. However, the Celtics have valued Brown’s elite athleticism and defensive ability since he was drafted, and his significantly improved shooting has allowed him to take the leap into one of the game’s best players. The Celtics have also voiced their support for Brown’s leadership and charitable work, pushing them to offer him this deal.
