If there’s one thing the casual NBA fan knows about the modern NBA, it’s that the league’s current generation of players is getting paid quite handsomely.
That does lead to some unfair, over-the-top criticism of current NBA players and the league’s health at large… and we’re going to add to that discourse today (sorry!) by taking a look at the most overpaid NBA players of the 2023-24 season.
To do so, we’re using our Real Value metric, which uses Global Rating (learn about our player-rating metric here) to determine how much each NBA player should be earning, salary-wise, based on their raw statistics, games played and team success. Once we had each player’s Real Value, we compared that number to their actual salaries to determine who the most overpaid NBA players of 2023-24 are in a fair manner.
