The NBA is a dream for all basketball players, with strong opponents and precious friends that they have never met before, and it is an extremely important opportunity for basketball players.
However, every athlete's years are limited, and sooner or later there will be a day of retirement. Retirement does not mean that they can only rely on the honors of the past, they still have infinite possibilities and value.
In the Chinese basketball world, there are three retired athletes who can earn a considerable income every year by virtue of their high status and rich game experience. They are Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and their basketball skills and spirit have won international acclaim.
From a young age, they fought for their country, and each victory was not only a proof of personal strength, but also a glory to the country. For them, basketball is not only their dream, but also their main income**.
In the national team, in addition to the monthly base salary, there is an additional bonus for each game win, which makes them very profitable.
Wang Zhizhi, known as the pioneer of Chinese basketball, is deeply admired by the industry and young players. Although he retired from the court due to his age, he is still passionate about basketball and is committed to promoting basketball and getting more people involved.
Even after leaving the arena, his income is still stable, and his living expenses are guaranteed through endorsements and business activities.
Yao Ming, this name is well-known in China and even in the NBA. Although he has retired, he has devoted his main energy to other areas. He now earns more than he did as a player, and he has not only worked hard to grow his business empire, but also devoted himself to environmental protection and became a global environmental ambassador.
Yi Jianlian, although he is still an active player, has taken a back seat due to physical reasons. But he relied on his domestic and international influence to accept more opportunities for commercial endorsements and events.
Even after they left the team, the figure of these three famous players is still in our sights. We can track them on a variety of channels. According to the NBA's labor agreement, when a player retires, their monthly retirement amount will be determined based on the length of time they have played in the NBA.
As long as a player has played in the NBA for more than 3 seasons, they will receive a generous monthly pension after retirement. In addition, this pension is further divided into three different levels depending on the age of the player.
1.For players aged 45-50, we will follow the base 306$34 per month of the standard, paying their pension two-thirds of the years they have played in the NBA.
2.For players aged 50-62, we will follow the basis 306$34 per month of the standard, which pays their full pension for the number of years they have played in the NBA.
3.For players aged 62 and over, we will follow the basis 1666$7 per month to pay their pension for the number of years they have played in the NBA.
With his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts, Wang Zhizhi has successfully established himself in the NBA, and his courageous style of play has won widespread attention. Over the course of his NBA career, he has amassed $5.7 million in prize money.
However, all sports are capitalized on youth, and every athlete has their own peaks and lows. As he grew older, Wang Zhizhi officially announced his retirement after leaving the NBA.
According to the highest level of 62 years old, he played in the NBA for 5 seasons and can receive a pension of 100,000 US dollars per year, totaling nearly 720,000 yuan.
On the basketball court, the former MVPs have retired. But instead of leaving their passion for basketball, they continued their basketball dream in another way. Wang Zhizhi chose to become a coach and is committed to cultivating more outstanding basketball players for China and winning glory for the country.
Although his pension is enough for him to live a comfortable old age, he chose to stick to his basketball career, showing the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Chinese.
His basketball story inspires more young people to work hard. In addition to Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have also reached the time to rest. Yao Ming's net worth at his peak was as high as more than $90 million, which is not only a reflection of his personal strength, but also a high recognition of his ability.
Their choices show us that even after leaving the court, their love and perseverance for basketball are still undiminished. Their basketball story will continue to inspire more people to keep moving forward for their dreams.
Although Yao Ming had to withdraw from the NBA due to physical health reasons, according to the calculation of the highest level of 62 years old, he can get $180,000 per year in the nine years he has played in the NBA, totaling about 1.3 million yuan.
However, for Yao Ming, money is not the ultimate goal he pursues, because his wealth has surpassed many people, and what he pursues is spiritual satisfaction.
I love basketball, and I have honed myself in sweat one by one. Now, I hope that Chinese basketball can go to the world and show our strength and style. Yi Jianlian, although he cannot be compared with Yao Ming in terms of international status and strength, but in the Chinese basketball world, he is undoubtedly a benchmark figure worthy of respect.
According to statistics, his career in the NBA has lasted for 5 years, and he can receive $100,000 a year, which is equivalent to nearly 720,000 yuan in total. His dedication and contribution is the best interpretation of the spirit of basketball.
In recent years, the CBA is in a stage of vigorous development, gradually moving closer to the international standard. However, every basketball player reaching the pinnacle of their career can also mean that another will face the challenge of a low point.
Retiring doesn't mean athletes say goodbye to the court they once worked so, just that their roles have shifted and they continue to coexist with the basketball industry in another form.
Some athletes choose to work behind the scenes, while others become coaches, passing on their valuable experience to the new generation of athletes, hoping that they can bring glory to the country and continue to carry forward the spirit of Chinese basketball.
The retirement of the sport is not meaningless, they are just a different way to continue their glory. It's no longer about playing in person, it's about developing a new generation of basketball talents.
The reason why people feel that athletes lack money after retirement is because most of them are unable to work after retirement due to their age, and life is more difficult in their later years. However, the income of ordinary people is different from that of athletes**, in addition to competitions and regular salaries, they also have a variety of income** such as endorsements, business activities, etc., which are unimaginable for ordinary people.
Retirement is not the end, but a new beginning. After retiring, the athletes are still trying to contribute to the industry. We should not cling to the stereotype that they lose their value when they retire.
Life needs a forward-looking and courageous spirit, so let's give more support and understanding to retired athletes.
