Bottom line: Big talent brings big bucks for “Big Three.”
It shouldn’t be a surprise, but the Nets Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all rank in the top 10 of NBA players endorsements in 2021. And of the 11,000 athletes headed to Tokyo next week for the Olympics, KD is the highest paid. That’s all according to two reports out Sunday.
The three players’ popularity is unmatched by any other trio in the NBA, as evidenced by their jersey sales. Earlier this week, the NBA revealed they finished third (Durant), eighth (Irving) and ninth (Harden) in online sales for the second half of the season.
