14. Allen Iverson – $154,494,445

The Answer was one of the best players in the NBA from the day he entered the league as the No. 1 pick in the draft by the 76ers until his body broke down after more than a decade of his fearless style of play. He made the All-Star team every year from 2000 when he was the league’s MVP until 2010. He was a four-time scoring champ, three-time steals champ, routinely led the league in minutes and almost single-handedly led the 76ers to the NBA Finals in the 2000-2001 season. He made $20.8 million at the peak of his earning power.

13. Rasheed Wallace – $158,110,581

Wallace averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game throughout his 16 years in the NBA when he made four All-Star teams and was crucial to the Detroit Pistons winning the title in 2004 after a trade from the Atlanta Hawks.

He was more good than great during his career but the year he was traded was also the year he was making $17 million in the final year of a deal signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.

12. Vince Carter – $161,663,315

Vinsanity never lived up to the Michael Jordan comparisons, which were unfair to begin with, but Carter did make eight straight All-Star teams from 2000-2007 with the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets. At the peak of his earning power, the former North Carolina standout was bringing in $18.3 million.
