I assume you mean from sports alone - no endorsments or acting gigs. If this is the case, the highest paid athlete is Alex Rodiguez (NY Yankees) - a bit more than $25 million a year. With endorsements deals and pet projects, it is Tiger Woods.

The Miami Heat didn't want to pay his hefty $2.5 million salary and were seeking to trade him, when Anderson spoke up about wanting more playing time. \n\nThey ended up offering him a $600,000 buyout so that he could try and sign elsewhere. He accepted the buyout offer from Miami, but when no NBA teams jumped up to sign him, he headed overseas to sign with a team there. It's not clear what team he is actually playing for now.\n\nSee the story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2584890 or here: http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/43044/20061101/anderson_to_play_overseas_this_season/

basketball should be reflection of its player.  the argentinan singer doesn't have rap album coming out soon.  basketball has become to bland.  there aren't personalities in the league anymore.  the are a bunch of millionares worrying about their contracts and mistresses.  if you make 10 million dollars a year, what do you care about allstar weekend for.  keep enough fans happy so they will buy your 150 dollar shoes.  david stern is disconnected from his employees.  basketball is nothing how it use to be during the bird and magic era

He never made it to the NBA, (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/ has no sign of him). \n\nHe was drafted by the old CBA and I saw one place where he signed with a team in Poland but really I can't find anything else.

I don't think he comes back for money, he's got plenty of that.  I think he loves the game and wants to continue to be a part of it.  What's wrong with that?  He is one of, if not the, greatest players ever in the NBA.

Kobe has the biggest ego of all time.  Still, he is money at the end of a game, or at clutch moments

He won 2 dunk contests - 1993 and 1995. He was a good shooter but never really got defense or really fell into the proper mindset to play good NBA ball. He mostly rode bench and even though he was a popular player, Miami Traded him at the end of the 94/95 season to Cleveland because he wasn't accomplishing what they'd expected. He was waived at the end of that season, then tried out for but was cut from the Raptors. \n\nNo one really knows where he is now.

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.

The first to go directly to the NBA from high school are Bill Willoughby and Darryl Dawkins in 1975 who both played in the "NBA" during the 1975-76 season.   \n\nMoses Malone was the first high schooler to play "professional baskeball" but his first "NBA" season season was played during the 1976-1977 season, a year after than both Willoughby and Dawkins had played in the NBA.

I think you're talking about Ladell Eackles. He spent his career as a role player in the 90s mostly with the Washington Bullets. He also played in the Miami Heat.
