Forbes defines an athlete's brand value as "[his or her] endorsement income, less the average endorsement income of the top 10 athletes in same the sport."

Ranking Athlete Value
1 Tiger Woods $30 million
2 Phil Mickelson $28 million
T3 LeBron James $27 million
T3 Roger Federer $27 million
5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni $21 million
T6 Usain Bolt $18 million
T6 Kevin Durant $18 million
8 Cristiano Ronaldo $16 million
9 Rory McIlroy $12 million
10 Floyd Mayweather Jr. $11.5 million

Surprised to still see Tiger so high. How much more did he make in his prime?

So LeBron and Federer are the top two athletes using this metric.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is no longer among the top 10 most valuable athletes in the world, according to American finance publication Forbes.

Messi previously occupied ninth position in 2014 with an estimated worth of $12 million - a drop of one million from the previous year - but does not feature at all in the athletes' top 10 for 2015.

Harden will crack that list in 2016, after inking his Adidas deal.

What were the numbers in comparison to KD's massive Nike deal? Because KD is only sitting at 8th.

Does this put an end to the argument claiming advertisers are racist or whatever it was?

$15.4 million per year (200 over 13). That doesn't include Foot Locker and other endorsements.

KD's is 300 over 10 (but that apparently involves royalty clauses and such). Clearly, they aren't crediting him with 30 million on this list.

The average income for an NBA player isn't 12 million, bud.

And that would just be assuming 30 with Nike. KD has other endorsements.
