After spending six seasons with the French club Paris Saint Germain, Neymar has followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and moved to the Saudi League, but signing with Al Hilal.

Kyle Kuzma himself signed a sizable contract with the Washington Wizards this off-season worth $90 million over 4 seasons. Kuzma proved his worth with the Lakers helping LeBron James win a championship in the bubble in 2020 but was later traded to Washington in exchange for Russell Westbrook. With increased usage, Kuzma delivered in the Wizards uniform and averaged over 21 points and 7 rebounds in the 2022-23 season. This helped Kuzma bag a massive contract, solidifying his place in the team. With $90 million dollars of his own, it might get a little hard for Kuz to hold Neymar?s money.
