SU Players who made the most money in the NBA

[Cheriehoop]

Which former Syracuse basketball players have made the most money in NBA?

Because we all talk so much about whether a kid should go pro or stay in school longer, I would love to see a story done that is able to show lifetime earnings from professional basketball including supplemental income like endorsements etc.. I realize that would be information that would be pretty difficult, if not impossible, to come by but guys parlay their SU basketball experience into more than just NBA earnings.

A guy's NBA earnings are a great place to start, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

Every other player on the list combined: $372 million
Melo: $260 million

Missing Danny Schayes who I believe had the longest NBA career of any Cuse alum.

I hope they set themselves up for life with it. It would be a shame to make all that money and every ahve to worry about money again.

Billy Owens too. Consider Justice Winslow just signed a 3 year 39 million dollar deal.

If Billy was heading into his 4th season, coming off a 15, 8, and 4 season now...he’d cash in huge.

Because he played for free?

Also Dave Bing. I can imagine despite his legendary status he only made a pittance in today’s world.

In the interest of accuracy, I added up 400 million plus 1/3 million, so basically a nice round 400 million for the other players.
