Kevin Durant is widely regarded as one of the best players in the game, but what is his salary in 2022?
Kevin Durant is often considered one of the best players in the game. On the basketball court, the Brooklyn Nets superstar is known for his insane shooting ability, his giant wingspan and his incredible jump – while off the court, he is known for his infamous social media activity.
Durant is an incredible performer on the basketball court and has achieved a tally of both individual and team career accolades that most professionals would envy. A two-time NBA champion, a two-time MVP winner and a multiple-time NBA All-Star, Durant garners high respect – and is paid his due worth by being one of the highest-paid players in the game.
According to reports, upon signing with the Brooklyn Nets, Durant signed a four-year contract that would see him earn $194,219,320, including $189,078,320 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $48,554,830. In the 2022-23 season, Durant will earn a base salary of $42,969,845, while carrying a cap hit of $44,124,845 and a dead cap value of $44,119,845.
Durant’s yearly salary and his total package help him rank high on the list of the highest-paid players in the NBA as of now.
Durant’s yearly salary ranks him fourth on the current list of the highest-paid players in the NBA, only behind Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook and LeBron James. However, his total salary in his career helps him rank only behind LeBron James in the all-time NBA earners list – showing his immense career earnings over his basketball career since being drafted into the NBA in 2007.
However, the Brooklyn Nets superstar is certainly worth the big bucks. Durant recently became the 19th highest scorer of all time in NBA history, meaning that he is a complete package both on and off the court – providing his brilliant ability on the court, and the entertainment off it.
