Beijing time on June 30, NBA the free market is surging, and a large number of transactions are taking place frequently.
In the past 24 hours, 37 major trades and signings took place in the league in one night. The most sensational one was obviously and the Spurs . They got Gallinari, three first-round picks and a first-round trade for 1-for-5. The right to exchange, sent away All-star guard Murray .
Against this background, the god of basketball Jordan has once again become an alternative scene in the free market. The money he earns alone is currently higher than the total amount of new contracts reached by all players on the market. .
NBA's authoritative business reporter Joe-Pompliano officially revealed that as of this summer, the Jordan Brand, jointly founded by Jordan and Nike, has exceeded 5 billion US dollars in annual revenue for the first time in the past, which is why Jordan earns 1.5 billion a year. One hundred million U.S. dollars!
What is the God of Basketball? The God of Basketball not only wants to achieve the greatest achievements on the court, he is also the greatest basketball player off the court. Jordan did this perfectly. He is the most valuable NBA player in history with a net worth of 2.3 billion. He also bought a team and became the owner.
What’s more important is that he has retired, but the money he earns in one year is more than three times more than the super maximum salary of any active player. No active player can earn an annual salary of 50 million yet. Jordan has already earned 50 million in one year. 150 million, brand revenue has reached 5 billion US dollars, and the golden signature is Jordan's name.
You must know that 150 million US dollars is nearly twice Jordan's total career income. He once retired and came back to join the Bulls and received an annual salary of 30 million, but Jordan's total NBA career income was only 9,329. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. The God of Basketball only earned 93 million in 14 years of his career, but now he has earned 150 million a year after retiring. This is Jordan's great influence.
The number one person in history is well deserved. Even if James earned less than 100 million US dollars in the past year, the problem is that James counts all income, and Jordan has not yet counted his endorsement fees. , just his Jordan brand has earned 150 million. The money earned by the team, off-court endorsements and advertising fees, etc., are countless for Jordan himself.
Moreover, the revenue of Jordan's own brand now exceeds the revenue of the NBA in the past year. The money Jordan earns in a year is higher than the total value of the contract reached in the free market.
First of all, it has not been officially announced that Brunson will go to the New York Knicks for 110 million in four years. The only completed contract extensions officially announced are Clippers 33 million, leaving Zubac , Prince 2-year renewal of 16 million Timberwolves , and the other ones are Philadelphia 76ers and team reporters The announced team will acquire Tucker for 30 million in three years. The sum of these three transactions is less than Jordan's annual income.
