The 10 BIGGEST contracts in American sports after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's record-breaking $285m extension
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's signing of his monstrous four-year, $285 million supermax extension for NBA finals champions Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday makes him the highest paid player by average annual value (AAV) in American sports. With a $212 million three-year extension also on the table for Nikola Jokic – potentially taking his AAV to just shy of SGA's whopping $71.25 million per year - a further reshuffling of America's biggest sporting contracts in the near future certainly seems on the cards. Here are the top 10 current biggest sports contracts in America by average annual value. 10. Nikola Jokic – NBA - $55,224,526 In July 2022, three-time MVP winner and 2023 Finals champion Jokic signed a five-year supermax contract with the Denver Nuggets worth over $260 million – the most valuable in NBA history at the time. The Serbian superstar recorded the third highest points per game of the 2024-25 regular season at 29.6, and second most assists per game with 10.2. Jokic also looks set to sign a three-year extension valued at $212 million, which would shoot him up to second on this list with a potential AAV of $70.67 million. 9. Jimmy Butler – NBA - $55,479,612 Having declined a player option with Miami Heat for 2025-26, Butler instead signed for the Golden State Warriors in the middle of last season on a two-year extension to the end of the 2026-27 season. The 35-year-old's maximum-veteran extension will see him earn just over $110 million in just two seasons at the Warriors, making him the eighth highest earner in America by AAV despite his contract having the lowest overall value of anyone on this list. 8. Jaylen Brown – NBA - $57,078,728 The Boston Celtics star signed a five-year super-max extension worth an overall value of over $285 million in July of 2023, superseding Jokic's $260 million contract to become the most valuable in NBA history. In the 2024-25 regular season, Brown averaged 22.2 points and rumors are now circulating of a potential trade away from the Celtics for the four-time All-Star and 2024 Championship winner. 7. Giannis Antetokounmpo – NBA - $58,456,566 Giannis signed a three-year contract extension valued at over $175 million with the Milwaukee Bucks in October of 2023, with a player-option in place for the 2027-28 season. The power forward averaged 30.4 points per game last season, making it three consecutive seasons averaging over 30 points. The 2019 and 2020 MVP placed second in the regular season behind only SGA for points per game, 6. Anthony Davis – NBA - $58,456,566 The 10 time All-Star and 2019-20 champion with the LA Lakers signed a contract in August of 2023 almost identical to that of Giannis, worth over $175 million in total value. This has made him the joint sixth highest paid sportsperson in America by AAV. Following a trade for Luka Dončić in Feb 2025, Davis is now under contract with the Dallas Mavericks until 2028 with a player option for the 2027-28 season. 5. Dak Prescott – NFL - $60,000,000 The 31-year-old quarterback is the highest-paid player in the NFL having signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys in September of 2024 that sees him earn $60 million a year for the next four seasons. Three-time Pro-Bowl selection Prescott missed the final 10 games of last season having torn his hamstring against the Atlanta Falcons in week nine, Prescott will hope to return to his best ahead of the 2025-26 season. 4. Jayson Tatum – NBA - $62,786,682 Having signed a five-year extension with the Boston Celtics in 2024, the six-time NBA all-star will bring home what is the most valuable overall contract in the league. The 27-year-old will be earning a total $313,933,410 across the next five seasons, making him the third highest paid player annually in the NBA. 3. Joel Embiid – NBA - $64,302,336 Despite missing 59 games last season due to injury, the Philadelphia 76ers center will bring home the highest annual pay check of any American sportsman as part of a three-year veteran extension from 2026-2028. Having missed much of last season due to injury and playing only 19 games for the 76ers, Embiid will aim to return to his usual consistent form which saw him average over 30 points per game from 2021-2023 as he enters his contract extension. 2. Shotei Ohtani – MLB - $70,000,000 The league's biggest star ended the 2023 season as free agent having seen out his contract with LA Angels and in 2024 made the move to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani signed on a 10-year contract worth a whopping $700 million making him far and away the highest paid player annually in the MLB. Despite injury last season putting 'Shotime' out of pitching action and hindering his usual two-way ability, Ohtani has still managed to hit 30+ home runs across the last five successive seasons. 1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – NBA - $71,351,448 Having signed a 4-year supermax extension worth over $285 million with Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, 'SGA' is set to become the highest-paid player by AAV in league and American sports history. Undoubtably the standout star of last season, 'SGA' averaged a league-high 32.7 points during the regular season and 30.3 in the NBA Finals as he became only the fourth player in history to secure the triple crown of the NBA championship and both regular season and finals MVP awards.

Cameron Norrie roars into third round by downing 12th seed Frances Tiafoe
Cameron Norrie battled back from a set down to triumph in his second-round Wimbledon clash against the American 12th seed Frances Tiafoe. The British number three hit top form to beat Tiafoe 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-5 and reach the third round for the fourth time in five years. Norrie was broken in the fifth game of the first set to put him on the back foot. But the 29-year-old seemed energised by a vocal Court One crowd in the second, which saw his rival fail to follow through on three break points at 4-4 – a shortcoming that allowed the 2022 semi-finalist to rally and get a break of his own to level the match. Norrie's forehand began to cause the American plenty of problems in the third set, but after breaking Tiafoe's serve he was swiftly broken back as the bog-serving American relied on his ability to gain points via aces. The tables were then turned once again when Norrie broke serve, again courtesy of his huge forehand, and proceeded to successfully serve for the third set. Tiafoe then disappeared off court for a lengthy comfort break, coming back in a fresh outfit to face a fourth set with an opponent who was clearly warming to the task. Though trailing, the American did not fold easily and break points were passed between the pair, with the momentum looking at times to be favouring Tiafoe as he threatened to regain control of the match. Norrie held his nerve, however, and blips from his adversary meant he was able to pull off a mighty victory and book a likely clash with Queen's finalist Jiri Lehecka in the third round.
