LeBron James may have just become the highest-paid player in the NBA on Thursday, but some around the league believe the three-time champion is worth even more than his reported $100-million contract.
New York Knicks point guard Brandon Jennings shared his thoughts on the deal via Twitter, stating that LeBron should be making $50 million per year, and not the measly $33 million he'll earn over each of the next three seasons.

While LeBron would not be able to command a salary that high under the current CBA, the four-time MVP could almost assuredly earn even more than Jennings suggests if the NBA were truly an open market.
