Los Angeles Lakers Jeremy Lin
5. Jeremy Lin ($14,898,938)Jeremy Lin (12.5 PPG and 4.1 APG in 2013-2014), who was recently traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2014 offseason, could rank higher in the overpaid list but only around half of his salary counts against the team’s salary cap. Still even at $7-$8 million, Lin has not yet established consistency with his play in the league and can’t even hold on to his starting spot in Houston.Lin has a chance to prove his worth in Hollywood this season.

Jeremy Lin is busy preparing with his new team, the Los Angeles Lakers for the new NBA season. In between practice and training, the popular Asian-American NBA player is producing the hits on YouTube.

The latest production venture is titled “Lindoresements”, where Lin spoofs various popular commercials with Lin as the lead character in each parodying the likes of, Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks for Beats by Dre and Chris Paul (and Cliff Paul) of the Los Angeles Clippers for State Farm Insurance and American actor Jonathan Goldsmith also known as “The Most Interesting Man in the World” for Dos Equis among other commercials.

Also known for his funny parodies and/or video exploits, new teammate Steve Nash with the Lakers also appeared in the video.

The Los Angeles Lakers may have an ageing (Steve Nash) and an inconsistent role player (Jeremy Lin) at the point guard rotation; but it sure looks going to be a fun year for the Hollywood squad, at least off the court, as Nash and Lin have already shown great chemistry in front of the camera.
