seven players were unable to play, and only eight players were rotated. Logically speaking, the probability of losing in Nets should be directly full, but obviously Durant did not agree. In two consecutive games, Durant defeated Raptors and 76ers respectively, and won four consecutive victories, with a record of 21 wins and 8 losses, and solidified the throne of the first in the East. Seeing the Nets players so powerful, Tsai Chongxin was naturally very happy. He couldn't help but say on social media, I love the children! Give affirmation from the boss.
In addition to Nets players and bosses, Mavericks head coach Kidd should also be very happy. Why do you say that? The answer is simple, that is, Kidd is a small shareholder of the Nets. If the Nets win, Kidd will benefit more or less. As one of the best point guards in NBA history, Kidd spent his peak at the Nets. Yes, it was 2001-02 season and 2002-03 season . He led the Nets to the finals twice, but once encountered the "OK combination" and the other time, he encountered the "GDP combination", and twice in a row without any results.
In 2003, Kidd suggested that his friend, the famous rapper JAY-Z, bought part of the Nets' shares. After careful consideration, JAY-Z listened to Kidd's suggestion and bought 0.1608% of the shares and became a small shareholder of the Nets. At that time, the team's big boss was not Cai Chongxin, but Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. In 2013, JAY-Z, who had been holding shares for ten years, decided to switch to a sports agent, so he sold 0.1608% of the Nets' shares, and two of them took over, namely Kidd and Pan Weibo .
Kidd spent $500,000 to buy 0.1% of the price, and the remaining 0.0608% was sold to Pan Weibo. As for how much Kidd made after eight years, given that the market value of all NBA teams has soared, Kidd naturally made a lot of money. According to the results of the well-known website Sportico's value assessment of NBA teams in 2021, the Nets are now worth about US$3.61 billion, ranking fourth in the NBA, second only to the Knicks 's $6.12 billion, the Warriors' $6.03 billion and the Lakers' 's $5.63 billion.
That is to say, Kidd's 0.1% shares are worth US$3.61 million. Less than the $500,000 they spent at the beginning, they made a full $3.11 million in eight years. The increase in is indeed amazing. It is also worth noting that NBA teams have a certain premium. Many rich people want to buy but no one sells it. At that time, Jiang Lizhang had contacted at least five teams, and only Timberwolves was willing to accept his investment. So if Kidd sells his Nets shares now, $3.61 million is just the lowest price, and it would be no problem to soar to $4 million. It should be easy to make $3.5 million.
