Which Boston Celtics alum is the NBA’s biggest career earner from Greenville, South Carolina? Astute fans of the Celtics have likely figured it out based on the town alone, especially those of us old enough to have watched Boston win Banner 17.

The player in question here is none other than The Big Ticket himself, Kevin Garnett, per our sister site HoopsHype. Out of Greenville’s best, none have come close to KG’s $343,862,398 career earnings. But he has also had a few worthy challengers, if far behind in terms of dollars earned to date, with well over a full decimal point to the right needed to even get close.

Nicolas Claxton is a distant second with $23,173,912, and Michael Dickerson’s $17,113,162 in career earnings is nothing to sneeze at.

Likewise, most of us would jump to get anywhere near fourth-place Willie Anderson’s $10,310,000, and the top five is closed out by Day’Ron Sharpe’s $6,328,680.

Claxton and Sharpe have a chance to get closer as they are both younger bigs with at least one if not several more deals ahead of them, But for now, it seems KG’s hometown earnings record is very, very safe.
