Only One New York Athlete Cracks Forbes' 10 Highest Paid List

After years and years of the New York Yankees handing out some of the biggest contracts in all of sports and all the massive endorsements you see New York stars getting it odd there isn't more New York talent on Forbes' latest list. Forbes just released "The World's Ten Highest-Paid Athletes" and only ONE member of the New York sports scene has made the list.

As a matter of fact of the top ten earners on the list, only four come from the big four leagues in the US. Thanks to a massive contract from the Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott is sitting at number 4 on the list, LeBron James at 5, Tom Brady at 9, and then the sole New York pro is Kevin Durant coming in at number 10. SO amongst MMA, Soccer, Tennis, and Formula 1 the NFL and NBA grabbed four spots. Maybe the oddest part is that Durant has barely played since joining the Brooklyn Nets.
