Breakdown of Salary
(Note: The bottom axis of the “Average NBA Salary by Age in 2014” graph should say “age” and not “number of All-Star appearances)
Takeaways: Of course, when you have a long track record of success, you generally reap some rewards along the way. So, while the NBA is a league full of young dudes, those that manage to last into their late twenties (and shed their rookie deals) tend to do fairly well. The ends of those graphs are humorously skewed by Kobe Bryant’s massive contract (Kobe is a 36 year old with 16 All-Star appearances).
