My '07-'08 installment of the most-overpaid NBA players has a mix of big-time players (well, they used to be) and some lesser-known scrubs collecting checks they don't deserve. I love America! Note: The salary data presented here is not guaranteed to have perfect figures (mainly because many of these washed-up players have been bought out of their original contracts for a lesser amount) - but it's close enough. These are simply my opinions using information obtained from a host of online sources. With that said - let's get to it with The Top 10 Starting with the poster boy for this group - C. Webb Chris Webber - $19,000,000 : Wait - is he even playing this season? Oh yeah, another Billy King disaster and the tagline for this blog.

He's getting $1.2M from Orlando currently and is owed $8.9M this season and $9.7M next season from Golden State. (Just shaking my head). This is when you know you're overpaid: on Sportscenter, when you get in the game and actually do something productive the sportscaster says "Look, it's an Adonal Foyle sighting!" Steve Francis - $18,870,000 : 5.5ppg, 3apg, 33% fgs, 24% 3pt in 20 minutes per night with his new/old team the Houston Rockets means Steve Francis isn't the "Franchise" any more. He is getting $2.4M from...
