NBA players aren't on that list because their contracts are limited to 5 years, and to a maximum salary. And the truly elite players sign short contracts, because the max salary goes up over time.

Mean NBA salary is ~$6M, compared to ~$4M for MLB - despite league revenue per player being roughly equal.
