It is pretty interesting to see Timmy at #16. But what blows me away is Tracy McGrady gets more endorsement money than Duncan.

Who would you want pitching your product? The most dominant player in the league the last 10 years? Or the most frequent player on the Injury Report the last ten years? 4 Championships or no playoff series won? (And don't count this year because T-Mac was on IR as always...)

Does TMac have some great charisma I missed????

Duncan doesn't go a lot of endorsements by choice. I don't know how many he's offered that he turns down, but I know he does choose carefully. It's just not his style to do a lot of commercial stuff.

duncan would actually move up to about 12 on that list if they used this years salary and not last. hes getting around 22 or 23 this year instead of 20.

still not much endorsements

TMac is one of the most popular players in China. A couple years ago, he was the most popular player.

That's worth money.

I can't believe football players get screwed compared to how much money their sport makes.

lebron more endorsement money than anyone else in the nba, almost gets paid double the amount of shaq (who follows him)

and thats the problem with lebron. he seems to care more about endorsement money and self-promotion than winning championships. seeing him strut around with his NYC gear is totally disrespectful to his cleveland fans

LeBron makes more in endorsement money than D-Wade does salary and endorsements combined!!!!! And James needs a BIGGER market???

I think he's reached a point where is already globally known. He doesn't need a bigger town, he needs championships (multiple) to give him Tiger-like endorsement money.

Meanwhile, unnoticed, Timmy keeps on winning....

What endorsements does Timmy have?

adidas is the main one.

Sprite, GUNN, and HEB are on his site. He used to have something with SBC, it's not listed anymore.

The only older one I remember is Nike, I'd have to dig through my stuff to find others.
