James Harden just joined the NBA’s half-billion-dollar club. Harden’s new 3-year, $97 million deal pushes his projected career earnings to $508.6 million through 2028-29, making him one of just six players in NBA history to clear $500 million in on-court earnings. That puts Harden alongside Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Paul George and Joel Embiid in a group that reflects just how dramatically NBA player economics have changed. KD currently sits atop the all-time list, per Spotrac. #jamesharden #NBA #money #elite #company
