NBA- the hallowed courts where rookies turn into legends, where the hoop game reaches unimaginable heights, and where the players’ net worth far exceeds some of the nations’ combined GDP! The perks of being an NBA player make all the sweat and tears poured into the process worth it. Of course, at the end of the day, it’s way more than the net worth, but that shouldn’t act as a barrier to be curious about what value these fan-favorites currently stand at right? And for the trivia flaunters – just what is needed for the upcoming get-together!

That being said, let’s take a closer look at Anthony Davis’ net worth in 2024, who had trademarked his unibrow sayings “Fear The Brow,” “Raise The Brow,” and “Street Clothes Davis” in 2012 after his NBA draft as a rookie, currently sitting on a $189 million contract with the Lakers. He had made the headlines and also created NBA history by landing the largest contract when he signed a 3-year supermax contract extension with the LA side, ensuring that he stays put with the team through 2028.

Davis launched a fiery NBA career with a 4-year rookie deal worth $23.2 million with the New Orleans Pelicans (then Hornets) back in 2012, which was an impressive contract for someone fresh out of college. With a Gold medal win at the 2012 London Olympics, The Brow didn’t disappoint as he averaged 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks, making it to the All-Rookie First Team.
