In 2017, the Houston Rockets extended James Harden's contract by four years, giving the Beard a total of $228 million in salary over six years.

James Harden has been the best player on the Rockets team since 2012 and deserves every bit of his salary because of the numbers he puts out each and every season.

#1 Damian Lillard - $257 million

With two seasons remaining in his previous 5-year contract with the Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard signed a 4-year extension in 2019 that gave him a 6-year contract worth $257 million. This is by far the biggest contract in NBA history. Lillard will earn around $54.3 million during the final year of his contract in 2024-25.

While Lillard holds the top stop for now, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis have a chance to overtake Lillard for the top spot in the upcoming years.
