11. Tracy McGrady – $162,978,278

The second player on the list to enter the NBA straight from high school and the cousin of Carter, McGrady was one of the league’s most prolific scorers during his prime with the Orlando Magic when he twice led the league in scoring.

The height of his career was cut short as a result of knee injuries, but McGrady still played 15 years in the league and earned $23.2 million in 2009-2010.

10. Jermaine O’Neal – $168,794,021

O’Neal is the third player to join the NBA straight out of high school and gets credit for being at one time an All-Star performer for six years from 2001-2007 with the Indiana Pacers and for having staying power. O’Neal has played 18 seasons with seven different teams and made $$23 million in 2009-2012 with the Heat.

9. Chris Webber – $178,230,697

The former No. 1 overall pick and second member from the “Fab Five” from the Michigan Wolverines (Howard) was one of the better players of his generation who I believe gets lost in the shuffle when discussing the best players from his era. Webber was a five-time All-Star with career averages of 20.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists as one of the more all-around big men who made $19.1 million at his peak with the Sacramento Kings.
