Kevin Durant will earn $19 million, Lebron James will be paid $20.6 million this season of the NBA, while Kobe Bryant will lead by his $23.5 million salary. All the three superstars, are the biggest NBA stars, are not earning as much as they should when regards to the worth they bring in their respective teams and the league.

Actually, the point is, the parallel universe of being a megastar in the professional basketball, where they can be paid by $20 million a year, but yet, they are underpaid. The deal begins in 2016, and the NBA will profit $2.6 billion a year. For source, the league's present deal with those similar broadcast partners was in contract since 2007 and pays the NBA at $930 million a season.

According to James, "The whole thing that went on with the negotiation process was that the owners were telling us that they were losing money. There is no way they can sit in front of us and tell us that right now."

Durant agreed with James opinions, during his interview with The Oklahoman,

"That's a lot of money. I don't see how owners can say they losing money now."

David Aldridge posted a statement in NBA.com, "The owners started with what they usually ask for, a hard salary cap. They didn't get that, but they got the next-best thing: incredibly punitive financial penalties on teams that continued to exceed the salary cap."

The basketball superstar James, returned to Cleaveland Cavaliers after he he left Miami Heat and decided to be a free agent in July, when he could have chosen a longer contract with more assured money. The two-year contract is until 2017, just the right time for next contract to cash in new TV money infusion on the NBA and its foreseen to amplify the impact on their salaries.
