Top 25 via wealth, four are NBA guys, one NFL guy. I think it is well known that NBA endorsement deals are pretty hefty.

Not by Frank it isn't apparently and it isn't a comparison if you are simply talking endorsement deals.


I only knew because D Rose had a crazy sick endorsement deal, and I was surprised he was getting paid that much. D Rose just didn't have the personality like Jordan, Peyton, or Tiger to get that kind of money.


Yeah they were banking on his youth and superstar status to sell shoes but his inability to speak was going to always be a hindrance in terms of commercials.

#1 is relative because there are 53 men an on NFL roster, and only twelve on an NBA roster.

#2, NBA players might have big deals with Nike or Adidas, but I think you severely underestimate the local commercials that NFL players do. For example, Robbie Gould still appears on my TV doing commercials for Eagle Ridge in Galena.

But regardless, need some citations on both of these.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Not sure the Eagle Ridge endorsement is the same as signing a $200 million deal with Adidas but maybe it is
