If and when the NBA returns this season, LeBron James<\/a> will have the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in a great position to win a 17th NBA championship. Alongside fellow All-Star Anthony Davis<\/a>, James is having yet another MVP-caliber season and could walk away with the trophy for the fifth time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the NBA shut down in March due to COVID-19, James was having one of the best all-around seasons of his career, averaging 25.7 points, a league-high 10.6 assists, and 7.9 rebounds. Not bad for a guy in his 17th year. However, while he could end the season with his fourth NBA title and fifth MVP, we do know at least one list he won't top this season: the NBA salary list. Making $37,436,858 this season, LeBron was sixth on this season's earnings list, at least on the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still arguably the best player in the NBA, five players had higher salaries than LeBron James this season, one of whom played just five games and another who didn't play at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
