Tobias Harris has now made way more money in his career than Tim Duncan.

Tobias Harris might never be considered a great NBA player, but he’s legendary at one thing: getting to the bag. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Harris is getting two years and $52 million from the Pistons in what Woj calls a fit for the young locker room in Detroit. It’s brings up his career earnings to an astronomical amount.

With this new deal, Harris is now projected to earn over $300 million over the course of his 13-year career, all while being a 16.3 point per game scorer in his career. Even in his last year with the Sixers, Harris was averaging 17 points but not really doing much else for someone making near $40 million annually. His ability be one of the highest paid players in the league last year while not contributing to the team very much is what dreams are made of.

Think about this: over the course of his career, Harris’ $302 million is more over the course of his career than Tim Duncan, one of the greatest NBA players of all time.

On a real note, this is why entering the draft at a young age could be seen as a very good thing. Harris entered the NBA at 19 years old and has gotten now three big money deals out of his entire career, an impressive feat considering the long odds of sticking around the NBA. Earning generational wealth three times over is really cool, and his legendary status at his banker is certified.

He joins other professional bag getters such as Bobby Bonilla (Happy Bobby Bonilla day by the way), Sam Bradford and Timofey Mozgov as professional bag getters who will be remembered at the bank. We salute you all.
