Which Boston Celtics alum is the NBA’s biggest career earner from Melbourne, Australia? We think that this particular player might be the easiest yet for a lot of you to guess. But ironically, he might well be among the least-liked Celtics alumni of all time, given how he left the team.
If you have yet to figure out who we are talking about, we aren’t too sure there’s a more obvious clue out there. But you probably guessed that it is Kyrie Irving, with $274,811,186 in career earnings to date. He will probably hang onto that status as Melbourne’s most remunerated player in the league, but Ben Simmons ($163,525,665) is a respectable distance behind.
Following Simmons is Andrew Bogut with $118,591,363, and then Dante Exum with $49,125,425 in career earnings in the Association to date.
