Kevin Garnett’s money in 1998 is valued at over 366 million dollars in 2023 due to inflation. 366 MILLION, for the time that was absolutely insane, you gotta consider all the variables
Yep, garnetts contract is worth about 40.5 milli a year now, accounting for inflation, still very very good, not nowhere close to 57 or how much they make now though
Im sorry but the best contract in nba is jokic 5yrs 272 million, 2 time mvp, soon to be 3 (emiib will not play 65 gms), ring, finals mvp, possibly another ring and finals mvp this year
Can't put Wall below Simmons. Wall actually wanted to play and was apparently a great teammate even when he was sitting out in Houston; Simmons doesn't even bother to try to play at an NBA level. That's gonna add toxicity to the lockeroom, especially after all the Nets came out and said they believed in Ben's commitment.
@@DamanLane1017john walls way older and is a 6’2 guard that has lost athleticism, while Ben is in his prime physically and is way taller and only relied on his natural talent as opposed to wall, who we saw progress as a rookie till the multiple time all star
Kind of a dumb take on Luka. They were in 4th place when they traded for Kyrie. Cuban got fined for tanking to keep their Draft pick that was Top 10 protected. Missing the Playoffs had NOTHING to do with Luka. Before the tank started, Luka was the leading scorer in the NBA & almost single handedly had the Mavs in Playoff position, as he has done every single year a part from his Rookie year.
Curry's contract is definitely worth it. He's a great player, the most entertaining NBA player, it's a sellout at every Arena that he plays in, and he's top 3 in Jersey sales every year
coming from a wizards fan…. that wall contract was a necessary evil at the time, it was just SEVERELY bad luck that he got hurt basically while putting pen to paper & then immediately after sustaining a freak achilles tear while walkin round his house, two back to back career altering injuries. wall’s contract was the biggest in the league for a reason, he above all is the reason the wizards almost made their first conference finals since the 70s; russ won mvp that year but you could make a big argument that wall was anywhere from #2-4 point guard in the league behind steph that season. now the beal contract…. THAT’S a different story
Having shai and dearon fox's contracts ahead of Luka's is absolute madness, Luka carries that entire team, he's easily a top 3 player, he's the entire franchise, he does way more with way less, he EASILY should be ahead of both of them
Your breakdown of Klay's contract is not wrong, but it's also not something that the Warriors organization is particularly regretting. They knew full well he probably wouldn't be back to producing at the level his contract implied, but it was a contract offered by a friendly GM to a team legend. It was definitely a check cut for services rendered and not for future expectations. They might even have started dreaming of the two timelines plan then, thinking that even if Klay fell off as hard as D Rose, that huge contract would handicap the roster to help them tank and build depth through the draft, probably in the 10th-22nd pick range. Whether you love or hate the franchise, I really liked that they showed respect to a guy who had already helped them win 3 championships, instead of being opportunistic and signing him to a cheaper deal when his stock had hit rock bottom. It's part of why the 2022 team was so easy to root for. That's the kind of employer we all want to have.
Agreed. It was definitely a legacy-rewarded contract that they knew they were overpaying for after he tore his acl. However, I don’t think GSW anticipated him to fall off as drastically as he has. I think that is attributed more to the Achilles injury he suffered after he signed the deal, which is just horrible luck
@cahillscourt what actually caused the Achilles injury was preventable. Klay didn't rehab properly for his ACL injury. He didn't listen to the medical and physical therapy instructions. The other leg got weak and that's why he tore his Achilles. And his greedy daddy wants another big contract
Man when gsw extended Steph curry for 45 mill was a crazyyyy steal. Ik he had ankle injuries a lot but man because he sign that and draymond took less was a big reason how Durant was able to be signed... draymond made more than Steph at that time
Jayson Tatum just got resigned on a 5 year $315 Million dollar deal, making it the biggest contract in NBA history. I wonder if that will go well. I know he just won it all, but that much money is crazy.
Great video. I’m not sure why in the last segment you had Steph Curry as number seven and number one it’s kind of confusing. I thought there was opportunity to have someone else.
The Blake Griffin contract wasn’t the worst. It got the Clippers Tobias Harris and that eventually turned into PG13 and Kawahi, and it got the Pistons in the playoffs
@@beyondthegamepodcast9106 don't bother with trolls like that he clearly can't read/understand simple sentences. If he did, that comment shouldn't have been typed lmao
This video is about the 26 biggest contracts in NBA history. Brunson's contract is not even close to the 26 biggest ever, so naturally it won't be in the video.
@@caladanrude6395 no he was supposed to get a big contract last year cuz his rookie deal was up but they asked him to hold out one more year to try n get a star which they didn’t go look it up

Yeah the contract is still a good contract 25 yrs later. That’s all you need to know about how insane it was then
Fr, no way this guy is comparing a contract from the 90s to one now.
Basketball inflation is not the same as the rest of the economy. NBA contracts go up a higher rate.

This is the first year of that deal, so it didn't qualify for this list. I only looked at contracts that had at least one year completed.
Dude called it lol
Bro is clairvoyant 😮
This vid about bad contracts tho
It's good but he's still missing 1 championship short. Mvps are useless without chips to go with it. Look at Embiid.

Really? Bradley beal is not as good as his contract even if he's healthy
fuckkk no
Watching this during the 2024 finals. Luka is a gland slam of a signing
enjoyed every second of this vid. brilliant work
Great video! Brunson def deserved some love but seriously good stuff.
You deserve more views this is great
Thank you! Be sure to sub for more
Views at 11x current sub count is good. He is fine…
Every now and then as a wizards fan i remember bradley beal and john wall and rui hachimura and kristaps porzingas
Then i cry
Great Video!

Why is "drive slow" playing in the back
From hindsight, Gobert contract is amazing since his defense translated well in playoffs and he was amazing
Good concept for a video, and I like your categories too
I really like the music you have in the back ground, it's a jam
Drive Slow homie
Having shai and dearon fox's contracts ahead of Luka's is absolute madness, Luka carries that entire team, he's easily a top 3 player, he's the entire franchise, he does way more with way less, he EASILY should be ahead of both of them
Yeah, though this vid was made before the Mavs got better at the trade deadline and made a run to the finals

What's the beat in the second part of the song
KD's contract wasn't a disappointment he done great when he played

fire vid bro
Very nice instrumental choice, love ye production
W video. Tatum should be in the late teens tho 😴
👎
Audio is spotty in the beginning, you can def tell where you did a voiceover, great vid tho
Great video
That drive slow hits hard ❤
Great video. I’m not sure why in the last segment you had Steph Curry as number seven and number one it’s kind of confusing. I thought there was opportunity to have someone else.
Steph had two different contracts north of 200 million, so he had two of the top 26 biggest contracts ever
It will be interesting to see how the big contract that Jaylen Brown just signed works out. Tatum is coming up to score another big payday soon.
whats the background music
Which one? There’s a few different in the video.
first one is drive slow
thanks@@BrockJSmith485
Drive slow by kanye west
drive slow instrumental goes hard
Not that they remixed 2Pacs “Shawty Wanna Be A Thug” beat doe is crazy 😂🤣😅
KD as a disappointment is crazy
I mean, what has he done since he left the warriors?
Consistently scoring
Kd soft
How is gobert above Durant and Harden? They both have been great and Gobert was bad in 2023. Harden is underrated
Didn't gobert win dpoy
@@aaronn8191 2024 he won but 2023 was last year
The Blake Griffin contract wasn’t the worst. It got the Clippers Tobias Harris and that eventually turned into PG13 and Kawahi, and it got the Pistons in the playoffs
Gr8 vid
Did the sixers get put out by the heat? Or celtics?
I’m sure MPJ will make an nba all star team at some point
Rudy over Anthony Davis ? Cmon bro
John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Ben Simmons finessed the league.
Tatum's contract still doesnt beat Steph's 2017 extension
How are you not gonna talk about Andrew Wiggins contract?!!!?
The NFL pays for what you are going to do. The NBA pays for what you have done
Man i feel like brunson should be on here like he is criminally underpaid and carrying his team to a playoff spot again
Bro do you even know the video topic, if he's criminally underpaid he won't be a top 26 biggest contract
@@beyondthegamepodcast9106 don't bother with trolls like that he clearly can't read/understand simple sentences. If he did, that comment shouldn't have been typed lmao
Unreal vid
Lillard going to make 64 million at age 36. I’m sorry that contract is way worse than someone like Harris
Best player to ever wear a Warriors jersey? Not Wilt?
😂
The only one who can justify his salary is Steph , ALL the other guys , way,way, way overpaid
Disappointment*
Correction micheal porter Jr could make a all star team
I dont even look at my own paycheck !
Fox over Luka is insane
Lebron ???
The watered down NBA
Drive slow.
Why isn’t Darius Garland up here? He has the worst contract.
I think you left off Jokic.. Otherwise great video
Extension doesn't hit till next season starts
@@i_fuze_hostages6 gotcha that's right.. thanks for catching me there
I think you forgot the Jalen Brunson contract. I don't think you can beat that contract.

Ain’t no way Rudy gobert is worth a contract worth over 200 million his contract is ludacris one of the worst ad at least have la a ring lol..
Maxey got 4 mill this year
Rookie deal. Doesn't really count

You really put gobert over Anthony Davis? 😂😂😂
Thought this was going to be current contracts i dont care about blake Griffins or john walls old ass contracts
fluka contract is going to age awful. Tubs can’t play defense
Jokic hands down...
You were waaaaaaaaaay to soft on luka, you basically took every logical objection away 🙄
Jayson Tatum as the second best contact is blasphemous lmao should be on the disappointing tier
He's the best player on a championship caliber team
@@user-ow2cs7fb5l2nd best
Bradley Beal
The wizards lost to the celtics in the playoffs they didnt beat Boston.
Porter is why Denver lost he was awful
Wait curry two spots on this list
he had two separate contracts that qualified.
Jalen brunson not on the list
NGL Ben Simmons may be the worst player in the NBA EVER
Please, learn to sppell. 😊
Tatum won 😘
