Which Boston Celtics alum is the NBA’s biggest career earner from Little Rock, Arkansas? While there are a handful of notable players from one of the state’s capital city, only one of them is an alum of the Celtics. And if you need a clue on who it might be, he had two stints with the team, technically, separated by the rest of his entire career in the league, a gap of nearly a full two decades.
If that didn’t make it obvious, we might as well let you know who it is. Boston’s No. 10 pick of the 2001 NBA draft, Joe Johnson. According to our sister site HoopsHype, Johnson earned an impressive $217,468,696 in his time in the league.
That’s enough to give the top spot for his native city, well ahead of the next-closest competitor, Derek Fisher ($64,160,721 career earnings).

After that is Bobby Portis with $52,284,154 in career earnings, and he will probably pass Fisher on his next deal.
Moses Moody has a ways to go to catch up at $11,220,840, and Archie Godwin is bringing up the rear with $5,765,089.
