Note: Salary leaders are for the 1968 through 2007 NBA seasons. - Most of the salary data was collected from work done by Rodney Fort and Patricia Bender. While the salary data is believed to be as accurate as possible, please keep in mind that collecting proprietary salary data is an inexact science. Minimum salaries were given to all players without salary data in 1989, and 1991 through 2005. In other seasons with missing salary data, salaries were extrapolated from other seasons if the player had known salary data both before and after the given season.
