The Salaries of Betclic Elite Basketball Players: Who Earns the Most?

Basketball is a collective sport where 2 teams of 5 players compete with the aim of scoring more points than the opponent. It is the 4th most practiced sport in France (with more than 675,000 members). The men’s first division is now called the Betclic Elitebut for 25 years it carried the name of Pro A. It is made up of 18 teams (with 2 runs at the end of the season). The most successful team in history is ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, crowned 21 times since its founding in 1948. The Betclic Élite is broadcast on the L’Équipe channel and on the Skweek platform, until 2030.

How much does a Betclic Elite basketball player earn?

Last season, 334 Betclic Elite players were listed on the LNB website. The average monthly salary is approximately 10 000 € (net). The lowest salaries (first professional contracts) oscillate between 3000 et 4000 €. The salary of a basketball player therefore varies enormously according to several criteria: the team in which he plays (club budget + or – important), the current level of the player as well as his age/experience and his fame. Today, the 2 richest clubs in France are AS Monaco and ASVEL. Their players largely monopolize the ranking of the highest paid basketball players.

In recent years, the salaries of basketball players have risen sharply. Especially for the biggest salaries that keep increasing. When no player exceeded €500,000 in the 2010s, a dozen basketball players now exceed this sum.

Who are the highest paid basketball players?

Last year, the basketball player with the highest salary in the French championship was the American Mike James. The ASM leader, with his annual salary of 2 million euros, even entered the Top 10 of the highest paid basketball players in Europe.

However, another American has certainly surpassed Mike James in terms of salary, since Kemba Walker, the former NBA superstar, has signed with the Principality club for the 2023-24 season. His salary has not yet been made public, but there is a good chance that the legend of the Charlotte Hornets has stratospheric income, he who still recently received ten million euros annually with the New York Knicks. In any case, AS Monaco hit very hard (already in the media) since a player of the stature of Kemba Walker had never yet come to play in France.

Behind Mike James and Kemba Walker, Betclic Elite’s highest paid basketball player is Nando de Colo (ASVEL). He and Joffrey Lauvergne became the first French millionaires in the year of the history of the championship of France.
