The highest-paid players from each country in NBA history

With how much money is going to player salaries at the moment, records are being set seemingly every season for his biggest contract by total money or the highest single-year salary.

We decided to take a look at the financial boon for NBA players in another manner, by determining who are the highest-paid players from each country.

No surprise for the American NBA player with the most money earned, as it’s LeBron James, who passed Kevin Garnett for the distinction last season. China’s is pretty easy to guess, too, as Yao Ming was an All-Star every year of his career and was paid as such.

Below, check out the full list of the highest-paid NBA players from each country (including this season’s salaries).
