On strait salary, Shaquille O'Neil, $20 Mil, this year.\nI would guess that LeBron James makes the most total (salary + endorsments), but I don't really know.

Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson all come to mind.  However, I think you can argue that the best player is one that not only scores points, but also does other things that make his team and teammates better.  Therefore, I think Oscar the big "O" Robertson deserves this honor.  He is the only player to average a triple-double in a single year.  He is one of the top scoring guards of all time, having put up 26,710 points in his career.  Oh, and he was a 12-time All Star.

Highest paid football (soccer) player is David Beckham. He is also the 8th highest paid athlete in the world.

Has to be Kobe, All NBA Defensive team this year, and Mr 81. He his the game's best perimeter player and a tenacious defender. (Held Wade to less then 20 in one of their meetings)

I think it will either be A.I. or Lebron James.  I'm a Kobe fan, but this year he looks like he's going to be more passive and get his teammates involved more.  For A.I. he's always been that high consistent scorer for most of his career.  Lebron James can put up some big numbers at times, but I don't know if he'll make 30 or more a game.  So I'll bet on A.I., one of the best scoreres of all-time.

I would go with Allen Iverson, because he is currently the leading scorer, and he also steals the ball away many times. He is an excellent defender who only lacks in the rebounding department, but his scoring more than makes up for. He is an overall consistent player on both sides on the ball, and he is always the man you can trust to score in clutch situations.

Allen Iverson of course....

The best is definitely Kobe.  Lebron is up there but Kobe is an amazing player that can do anything.  He can shoot from anywhere, has the craziest dunks.  His defense is a lockdown type.  He is just hitting his prime too.  I can't wait to see what Lebron turns into but Kobe is amazing.\n\nHere are the 5\n\nPG - Steve Nash.  He sees the court like no other.  I think his soccer background helps him out a lot.  He made Marion be the player he needed to be without Stoudemire.\n\nSG - Kobe Bryant.  If you read above you'll see why.\n\nSF - Lebron James - A freak of nature.  The dude is 21 and a superstar on the rise.  Possibly top 10 of all time when his career is done.\n\nPF - Elton Brand - He has developed into a premier power forward.  He can do it all.  He is a beast in the paint and his team would be nothing without him.  Ask me this question in like 2 years and without a doubt my choice for PF will be Dwight Howard.  I can't wait to see him dominate.\n\nC - Shaquille O'Neal - When he is on the court its a different game.  He may not score like he used to but just his presence makes teams play a different style.  Sure he is on his way out but he can still win a championship.

No by the game my friends brother's best friend is in the NBA. Andrew Bynum and he said he made a certain amount of money every playoff game it was like 200,000. It sounds crazy.

Best player is LBJ. The best dunker officially is Nate Robinson. But other than that...look at what VC has done. Thrown the ball of the shot clock in a game. People are scared to do that in a dunk compitition

i dont know but i would bet money on one of the big three, the dream(hakeem alajouan), shaq, or patrick ewing.

I hate to tell you this, but all of those players have made at least a shot from beyond the arc. Seeing as it would be hard to find anybody who didnt make "one shot from behind the arc", i think i will say  Wilt Chamberlain .

If you meant "payer" - then I'd say George Steinbrenner.  The NY Yankees have the highest salary of any professional sports team.\n\nIf you meant "player" - then I'd say Bo Jackson.  He excelled in two sports - baseball and football.  Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a hip injury sustained while running a sweep as a RB for the Raiders.

Vince Carter all-time. Most of his dunks are original and are sickest...
