NBA revenue streams
NBA players have two main sources of revenue: salary from the team, and endorsements from companies and brands.
Shoe deals are one of the most profitable sources for athletes. The most notable example is, and will always be Michael Jordan, with Nike.
The legendary basketball player still profits from his signature Air Jordan shoes, which are popular on a global level. Aside from that, beverages (Coca-cola, Pepsi, Redbull,…) or automobiles are also among those benefiting NBA players.
