It's a common misconception that Michael Jordan<\/a> was always the highest-paid player in the NBA during his days with the Chicago Bulls<\/a>. That did end up becoming the case, but that didn't happen until his final two seasons in the Windy City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, Jordan was drastically underpaid, having to stick to the terms of an eight-year deal he signed ahead of the 1988-1989 NBA season worth around $25 million as Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf<\/a> wasn't the type to restructure contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's true that MJ was making way more money than anyone else off the court, which is one of the reasons he's worth more than $2 billion today. However, it's interesting to go back and look at some of the guys that made more money than His Airness back in the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, during the Bulls' record-breaking 1995-96 season, in which they went 72-10 in the regular season and 87-13 overall en route to winning their fourth NBA<\/a> title in six years, more than 30 players pocketed more than Michael Jordan did, which is astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Jordan was ranked No. 32 in NBA salary in 1995-1996<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
