Yang Meng has always believed that the NBA is full of rich people. To be precise, even the people of the Stars and Stripes themselves think so. There are only 450 players in the entire league, and the average income is as high as $5 million, which is the highest average salary of any professional league. In fact, this is not the case. It's like Jeremy Lin's first year in the NBA, he couldn't even afford to rent a house, so he lived in a teammate's house and slept on the couch every night.

Many people don't understand this, after all, the average annual income of ordinary people in the Stars and Stripes Country is 60,000 US dollars, and even the players who joined the NBA in the first year and got a basic salary have an annual salary of 520,000 US dollars.

And after talking to Anthony Jones, Yang Meng understood why Jeremy Lin did this: to put it bluntly, it is a contract.

NBA players' income is also a pyramid level, they have many kinds of contracts, like those superstars get a formal contract, if you get such a contract, even if you are reimbursed for the injury season, even if he doesn't get a game, he will get his full salary; there are also basic salary contracts and veteran basic salary contracts, the former is about 520,000 US dollars a year, and the latter is about 2.3 million US dollars; in addition, the most common contracts are two-way contracts and non-guaranteed contracts, and you have to rely on your own performance to decide whether to stay in the team and make money。

And not all of them get these wages. First of all, the tax must be deducted, and then the broker will be shared, as well as nutrition fees, training camps, insurance premiums and other expenses. If you get it, there's not much left, and if you count the rent or something, there's not much left.

Of course, even this is more than the average person, at least at the middle-class level. But there is another problem here: these low-paid players also have to pay attention to physical training, if they are injured, their income will be gone, and if they don't train hard and don't perform well------ they will be gone, so those players are really working hard to keep their positions. Tens of thousands of dollars in training camps, that is to participate in the participation.

The bottom line: they pay in a peculiar way.

There are roughly three ways to pay NBA players, the first is to get an annual salary, that is, once a year, as much as you should after deducting taxes. But only those superstars get that treatment. These people only account for 1% of all players in the entire NBA, while the rest of the players, 90% are paid in 12 and 24 installments, that is, they receive a salary once every half a month, and the remaining 9% of the players are paid in 6 12 installments, just like our monthly salary. This way of paying salaries can minimize the pressure on the team. So the amount you get each time is not much.

Take the time when Jeremy Lin slept on the sofa, it was thousands of dollars every half a month, and he had to save for training camp expenses to live, so it was really not strange to sleep on the sofa.

It seems that NBA players earn a lot of money and are very glamorous, in fact, about a third of NBA players are moonshiners. The kind that goes bankrupt directly after retirement, and the rest also have a lot of money that is not worthy of virtue, and when they have money, they don't plan for the future at all, and they spend money and get used to it, and then they have no income after retirement, and they can only declare bankruptcy.

Anthony Jones belongs to the 9%, standing firmly in the team's main force, with an annual salary of tens of millions, but to put it bluntly, he also gets a monthly salary. Get hundreds of thousands of dollars after deducting taxes every month!

That's actually a really high number, but the problem with this black player is: 'One person can do it.'"

The phrase 'Ascension' could not have been more appropriate for them.

Many NBA players have to take care of not only their own families, but also their relatives and friends! Anthony Jones comes to Las Vegas to play with such a bunch of people behind him, and he is responsible for the expenses! Like Iverson, who has seven aunts, eight aunts, nine brothers-in-law, and brothers, and buddies all rely on him to feed; Marbury, who is known as the 'political commissar of the horse,' originally raised more than 100 relatives, and there are these 'leeches' to suck blood, plus what kind of poor people get rich. You have to buy any luxury car and mansion, and you have nothing to do with a few illegitimate children, it's no wonder if you don't go bankrupt!

Anthony Jones has actually lost millions here, all of which he has accumulated in various ways. He's also from the University of Pennsylvania. I also know that this is not right. But it can't stand a group of fox friends and dog friends fanning the flames. Man's willpower is limited, and every time he tells himself: this is the last time, and the result is again and again in the end!

He didn't envy Yang Meng for being------- he went out for a walk and brought back more than 6 million yuan, and he had 30 million more in his pocket in two days! What about himself? If he didn't have injuries or illness, he could only get so much if he fought for five or six years in a row! He had to save money without eating or drinking。。。。。。

It's no wonder so many people love coming to Las Vegas. It's a place of wonder!

And Anthony Jones is a little surprised------ there was originally a room of beauties here who came for themselves, since Yang Meng took out those two bags of cash, now the focus is on Yang Meng------ anyway, aren't there many beauties here who are with Yang Meng?

Fortunately, Yang Meng proposed to leave------- but Hall told him: there is fun in the bar tonight, so he has asked Hall to help him book a big booth.

His interest in this kind of party was never as great as that of a bar. He was going back to his room to rest and go to the bar for the night.

As a result, I heard that Yang Meng was going to the bar, and the girls in the house were also clamoring to go to the bar to play. This makes Anthony Jones unhappy: I'm here to do a party where you came to dismantle the stage?

Fat Locke is Anthony Jones's hair, of course he knows Anthony Jones's thoughts, and his eyes rolled an idea: "Mr. Yang, the dragon is one of the people that Anthony admires the most, since you are the master of the dragon, then I believe you must be a super master!"

Yang Meng was stunned: "What do you mean?

Locke's face was black: "No, no, I just heard that you haven't played basketball, and you're idle now anyway, otherwise let's go down below and feel the charm of basketball?"

"Basketball?" Yang Meng waved his hand: "Forget it." I really haven't played basketball, I haven't seen a PE teacher in our three years of high school, and when it comes to PE class, it's always the homeroom teacher who comes to ------ PE teacher is sick, and today I'm going to substitute for it. When I was a child, I really wanted to be a physical education teacher, so I didn't have to work and just get paid. ”

Anthony Jones didn't understand what Yang Meng meant, and he didn't understand the national conditions of the Han Kingdom, so why did he want to be a physical education teacher? Why could he still get a salary if he didn't go to class? But he understood what Locke meant: This is to find face for himself! Yang Meng doesn't know how to play basketball, so he can use his own strengths and avoid weaknesses, so why don't he just use his major to educate him?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Yang, basketball is a very interesting sport, otherwise I."

Let's go have fun now, sweat and relax and go to the nightclub, it's a bit early to go, isn't it? This is Las Vegas, and the nightclub in the second half of the night is interesting. ”

Yang Meng scratched her head after hearing this: "The last time I played until the second half of the night, I was so drunk that I didn't know what happened." ”

Anthony Jones laughed and said, "Then listen to me, let's go to the basketball court to relax." Of course men still like sports and are more popular?"

After saying that, Anthony Jones didn't forget to raise his arm to show his arm.

Yang Meng scratched her head: "Hmm." It's also a matter of cultural differences. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Anthony Jones, puzzled.

Yang Meng smiled: "In our Huaxia, men's eight-pack abs are actually the same as women's nail art, and most of the time they attract the same sex. ”

"Won't it?" Anthony Jones didn't believe Yang Meng's words.

Yang Meng said: "What's wrong with this? The mainstream aesthetics of our young girls in the Han Kingdom like those feminine ones, if you look at those little fresh meat stars in the Han Kingdom, almost all of them are thin and thin eyebrows and eyeliner are particularly feminine." The more motherly, the more popular. ”

Anthony Jones said: "I know, I've seen the NBA ambassador in your country! The one who says he can sing, dance, and play basketball, he's what you say!"

Yang Meng hurriedly stopped him: "Dude, don't talk nonsense! I didn't say anything! Don't mention him, if you mention it, it's a lawyer's letter warning!"

Anthony Jones was confused, what was the lawyer's letter warning about?

Yang Meng said: "Okay, go down and play for a while, let me tell you, in fact, I used to see those young people playing basketball on the court always feel that their youth is a little less! But I really don't know anything but shooting." ”

Anthony Jones was secretly happy when he heard this: "Okay, let's go down there!"

Yang Meng nodded.

"You don't change your clothes?" asked Anthony Jones, puzzled.

Yang Meng shook his head: "No, it's so cold outside, just move around." ”

Anthony Jones was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Yang, can I give you some advice?"

"Huh?" Yang Meng said, "Of course you can." ”

Anthony said, "I'd still suggest you change your clothes, well, it's not that you don't look good, but I'm sure you don't know baseball." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Meng was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong with this dress?"

Anthony Dow Jones: "You're wearing a jacket and hat from the Los Angeles Angels, and your hat is from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the T-shirt inside is a Kansas Royals T-shirt. If you wear these three clothes together, you might get you in trouble if they are seen by real baseball fans. ”

"Why?" Yang Meng was confused: "Because I'm too handsome to wear like this?"

Anthony Jones shook his head: "The Los Angeles Angels were formerly known as the Anaheim Angels, and even won a championship, but after winning the championship, they changed their name to Los Angeles Angels and left Anaheim City and the Los Angeles Dodgers to grab the Los Angeles market." These two have become mortal enemies, and the most recent national loss was to the Kansas Royals, and you wear three enemies at the same time, so watch out for the baseball fans throwing rotten eggs at you. ”
