Forbes released its annual top-100 highest paid athletes list, which saw the Los Angeles Lakers represented. The Lakers being on the list in some way is no surprise as Kobe Bryant was a regular for quite some time, but this year it was a different player.
Brook Lopez came in at No. 95 on the publication’s list.Lopez earned $23.1 million total last year, $22.6 million of which came from his contract with the Lakers while the other $500,000 came from endorsements.
He was tied with three other athletes for 95th: Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano, New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, and San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
