NBA's $500 million club: How James Harden's latest deal puts Cavs star in exclusive company

NBA club of high earners expands with James Harden's contract: The Cleveland Cavaliers star has joined an exclusive group of just four players in the league who have earned over $500 million in their careers. Harden agreed to a three-year deal worth $97 million, placing him among LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. While Harden's production has declined since his MVP years, he still averaged 23.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game for the Clippers and Cavaliers last season.

Despite his age, Harden remains a productive player and could be a valuable member of his team for years to come.
