Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics compete even off the court as the two biggest basketball teams in NBA history. Jaylen Brown’s record-breaking $304 million five-year contract lasted 9 days, now the Lakers have that distinction. We did mention that a trend was bound to happen in the league as it’s also happening in the NFL, players are asking for record-breaking contracts. The next in line was Anthony Davis, who just reached an agreement that effectively makes him the highest-paid NBA player in history. On average, Jaylen Brown’s max contract will reach a reported $60.8 million per season over the span of five years. Anthony Davis just surpassed his record by $1.2 million.
Anthony Davis’ record-breaking contract with the Lakers
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles Lakers just sealed a contract with Anthony Davis for a reported $186 million over three years. If our math is correct, that is $62 million per season, a new NBA record. But also, the possibility this will keep on happening over the next couple of months remains high with some of the best players in the league. People like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic or Joel Embiid might not like being left out of the highest-paid players’ club. Not that Davis or Brown dont deserve their contract but the other three have been dominating the league over the last three years at least.
After breaking a new record, Anthony Davis proves he is one of the Lakers’ most valued assets and it proves they are willing to keep him inside the organization for many years to come. Over the next few weeks, we will all be counting the days until a new NBA contract record is broken. We can all play a game and try to guess which star will be the one who breaks AD’s record. But for now, may he enjoy what Jaylen Brown went through for only 9 days. Our money would be on either Jokic or Embiid. Giannis also has a good chance to break that record.
