Michael Jordan‘s $33.1 million salary in his final season with the Bulls stands as the largest in NBA history after all these years, but that figure is probably going to become the new normal for basketball superstars with all the money coming in thanks to the massive TV deal kicking in soon. MJ made that kind of dough back in 1997-98, though. If we adjust to inflation, that one-year contract would be worth close to $50 million in present-day money. It’s still going to take a while for NBA players to rake in that much in a single season.

Below you will find the list with the Top 25 salaries in the history of the league factoring in inflation. Only eight players featured aside from His Airness: Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Juwan Howard, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and, of course, Kobe Bryant.
