Where does the salary of NBA players come from?

Those big-name NBA stars live a rich life. Even an ordinary middle-class player, such as Swift of the Rockets last season, or Rad Manovic of the Lakers this season, and Evans who recently defected to the Nuggets, can earn about $5 million a year, which is the average annual salary of NBA players, and most of them are around this period. but

Many players earn an annual salary of 6.5438+million, and some even get a bonus of around 2,000, which is really sky-high. Others hold the cheapest basic salary contract, more than 400 thousand a year. There are many high-paid low-energy players, low-paid high-energy players and so on.

Now, take the familiar rocket as an example. There are two players whose annual salary exceeds 10 million, McGrady and Dayao. For example, McGrady's average annual salary can reach more than130,000, and this year it can reach169,000, but Yao Ming is a little less. The annual salary this year is about12.4 million, but the average annual salary of Yao Ming is higher than that of McGrady. His contract is 5 pounds. Like Yao Ming, their average annual salary is $654.38+$052,000, while Yao Ming doesn't have as many bad habits as American players, and the most they spend on their girlfriends is about $300,000 a year. Don't think it's small, but it's quite a lot when converted into RMB 2.5 million. The key to Yao Ming's money is to spend on entertainment (NBA stars are celebrities in the United States, so there will be many parties to attend), fund-raising (Yao Ming is keen on public welfare), life (big stars have to live in good houses, even if they are not luxury houses) and travel (the oil price in the United States is very high). So even if it is high, it will cost 654.38+0 million. Then he still has an annual salary of 6.5438+0.4 million, not counting Yao Ming's other income, such as advertising, endorsement and other businesses and industries (such as catering as everyone knows).

Therefore, with the increase of annual salary and fame, Yao Ming will bring him about five times of economic income in the next few years, with an annual income of about 500 million yuan. Where are the other players of the Rockets? Judging from the annual salary this year, how many middle-class players does the Rockets have: shane battier: 5.4 million Juwan Howard: 6.4 million Rafer Alston: 3.85 million bob sura: 3.8 million and so on. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun, the money will cost more than 1 10,000, so there is still a lot left. So most NBA players can be described as rich people. Once you step into this arena and enter this place of fame and fortune, it can be said that it is a step into the sky. People like Marbury and Iverson should know very well. But there are still quite a few people whose lives are not guaranteed, even in the NBA, a money-making machine.

For example, the Rockets' ryan bowen salary is 900,000 yuan, Chuck Hayes salary is 660,000 yuan, and this year's second-round rookie kelenna azubuike salary is only about 400,000 yuan, and the contract is not guaranteed. If he fails next year, he may be fired at once. In fact, even if they can get hundreds of thousands of annual salary in this way, they are considered as rich people in the upper and middle classes in the United States. But since I am in the NBA, there will inevitably be some social activities, so life will be very tense. This is why some European players choose to play in Europe. If you play a walk-on in this team, your money can only be regarded as pocket money compared with those big-name stars.

Well, having said that, I just want to draw a data table that I want to give, listing some players with the highest annual salary in the NBA. Their average annual salary is over or close to10 million. If he earns the same amount, he will be ranked according to his age and the length of the contract, and the favorable one will be ranked first. For example, O 'Neill and Garnett both have 5-year 1 billion contracts, but O 'Neill is already a veteran, and it is quite beneficial for him to get this sky-high contract, so he ranks ahead of Garnett. For convenience, everyone uses Chinese names. The annual salary is ten thousand dollars. Only the top 50 are listed. Some players have renewed their contracts with the team in advance, but the previous contracts shall prevail.
