Lew Alcindor, who later changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, signed his first contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969 for $1.4 million over five years. This deal was groundbreaking at the time, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NBA. Alcindor's arrival significantly raised the profile of the league and helped the Bucks secure their first championship in 1971.
