There is an ongoing debate about who is the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) player in NBA history. Many NBA analysts are still deliberating about the best contender for this honor. Legend Michael Jordan and the Los Angeles Lakers star player LeBron James are the two most commonly debated names in the GOAT discussion.

Both players have earned significant amounts of money throughout their careers. According to Forbes, the Chicago Bulls legend’s net worth was $3.2 billion in 2024, while the net worth of the four-time NBA Champion LeBron James was USD 1.2 billion in 2024.

Jordan is considered the richest NBA player in the league’s history, with James coming in second. However, there is a significant difference in the total career earnings of both players. According to a recent post by Courtside Buzz on X (formerly known as Twitter), after James’ latest contract with the Lakers, the all-time scorer will make more money than Jordan did throughout his career. In his 22nd and 23rd seasons, James is expected to earn $104 million in the next two years, surpassing Michael Jordan’s total earnings during his NBA career.

“Crazy but true: LeBron James will make $104 Million over the next two years in his year 22 & year 23 seasons… more than Michael Jordan made in his entire NBA career. Jordan made $93 Million across 15 NBA seasons. NBA money is crazy in the modern era!” Courtside Buzz’s recent post caption.

Lebron James and Son Bronny Gear Up to Conquer Next Season Together

King James will be 40 years old next season, but the four-time NBA Champion is not showing any signs of aging. Recently, James uploaded a video of his workout in which he was sweating after an intense session. James, who has the highest score of all time in NBA history, is ready to add more points to his record as he has signed another contract with the Lakers. Additionally, the Lakers selected King James’ son, Bronny James, as the 55th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft 2024. This will be the first father-son duo playing at the same time in NBA history.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
