The draft lottery has finally concluded. Dan Gilbert made the right decision in letting his son, Nick Gilbert, represent the Cleveland Cavaliers at the lottery.

In case you missed it, SI compiled their Fortunate 50 list of the highest-earning American athletes last week. Within those 50, we can naturally find quite a few NBA players.

The list contains the athletes’ total estimated income based on salary, endorsements, bonuses and pretty much every other type of income. The earnings are based on last year’s season. Due to the lockout-shortened NBA season, all players lost a percentage of their total salaries, which is why only 13 NBA players have made the list.

Continue reading to find out where each NBA player ranked on the list and how much they made.
