Who makes the most money from the third young master of Thunder? Durant has 510 million, Harden has 400 million, I am convinced when I see Westbrook

In the long history of the NBA league, the "Thunder Three Young Masters" is a sad but extremely legendary chapter. Durant, Westbrook and Harden, three young talents who once played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, have emerged in the league with their extraordinary talent and potential and are hailed as future rulers.

However, the gears of fate did not rotate as the fans expected. In order to save millions of dollars in salary space, the Thunder management chose to send Harden to the Rockets in 2012, which made countless fans sigh. Despite this, the third young master still grew into the league's top superstars after parting ways, and were elected as MVPs one after another. Therefore, from a certain perspective, if they were not on their own, they might not be able to reach their current heights. So, let’s talk about the total career salary of Durant, Westbrook and Harden to see who earns the most. Durant is known as one of the best scorers in NBA history. His center-like height and wingspan give him a unique offensive advantage. His shooting skills, breakthrough ability and basketball IQ make him the most threatening scorer in the league. The 4-time scoring champion is the best proof. In terms of salary, Durant has been at the top of the league since his rookie period, with a total salary of 511 million so far, ranking sixth in history. Judging from Durant's current competitive state, he can still sign a maximum salary contract, and he may become the first player in NBA history to have a total salary of more than $600 million. Harden quickly grew into the league's best shooting guard after leaving the Thunder, and despite his professional attitude and game style, he still achieved extremely dazzling achievements. The three-game scoring champion, one regular season MVP, one assist king, and many All-Stars and Best Team. As of the 2024-25 season, Harden's total career salary was US$339 million. However, after renewing his contract with the Clippers for two years and $81.5 million this summer's offseason, Harden's total salary reached US$403 million, but there is still a certain gap compared to his big brother Durant.

Westbrook

Westbrook was once one of the best point guards in the league. His game style is full of passion, and his feat of averaging triple-double for three consecutive seasons has made him one of the legends in NBA history. In 2017, he led the Thunder into the playoffs and won the regular season MVP that season. These achievements not only left a deep impression on the fans, but also made him take an important step in wealth accumulation. As of now, Westbrook's total salary is $344 million, the largest contract is a five-year, $205 million maximum salary contract signed during the Thunder period. Judging from Westbrook's current age and competitive level, it is obviously unlikely to surpass Durant and Harden.
