Joe Johnson and Amare Stoudemire are making 23 plus million but yet Kobe Bryant is the one who gets shit on for making too much.  lol.

Also, Mayweather gets 250 million for one boring fight that happened 5 years too late.  lol.  People who pay to watch him are fucking fools.

Kobe prob has that money guaranteed.

Most talented athlete on that list is Leo Messi. Guy is a wizard with a soccer ball. 27 and has pretty much every FIFA record.

This list is bullocks...complete BS.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy,Phil Mickleson, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal are not listed. Complete BS. Tiger still is probably pulling 50 million a year and he is a gimpy old dude with less than half the game he used to have. Rory probably makes 30-40 million easy just with Nike and EA sports alone. Not to mention he is the best damn golfer in the world right now. Roger Federer banks 40-50 million in endorsements easily. Nadal is close to Roger.

Fuck this list.

The list doesn't include endorsements. Cuz Lebron would prob trump them all in that category.
