长期领低薪的勇士巨星库里终于熬出了头。这名两届常规赛MVP将在明年夏天成为一名非受限自由球员。据著名NBA劳资协议专家拉里-库恩预计,届时库里能够与勇士队续约一份5年总价1.65亿美元的顶薪合同。
2012年,当时饱受脚踝伤势困扰的库里与勇士队续约了一份4年4400万美元的合同。从这两年来看,这份合同就是超级打劫,特别是今年夏天多位从未入选过全明星阵容的自由球员都得到了超过1亿美元的顶薪合同,库里的这份合同更显超值。 明年夏天,库里将合同到期,并成为一名非受限自由球员。这5年总价1.65亿美元的顶薪合同也让库里超越今年的迈克-康利(5年1.53亿美元),成为NBA史上最大单的球员合同。更让人傻眼的是,乔丹整个职业生涯也只赚了9000多万美元,库里只用了五年就赢了“篮球之神”,当今球星还真是赚钱不当钱啊! |
The Jordan brand remains a cash cow for its owner Nike NKE and its namesake MJ. The overall U.S. basketball shoe market was up 3.7% in 2015, while the Jordan brand’s growth was almost four times that at 14% according to research firm SportsOneSource. The Jordan business is split almost evenly between the retro product and new releases. Total Jordan U.S. retail shoe sales hit $3 billion last year with a market share of 64% in basketball compared to 29% for Nike-proper, 3.6% for Under Armour UA and 2.3% for Adidas per SportsOneSource. His Nike deal was worth $100 million for MJ last year, by our count, or more than the $94 million in total playing salary he made during 15 NBA seasons.
“The Jordan brand is always pushing the envelope,” says SportsOneSource analyst Andy Annunziata. “Jordan is the pinnacle product for the consumer who wants the best athletic footwear.”
Stephen Curry has revolutionized the NBA over the past two seasons and his Under Armour line of Curry signatures shoes has been selling like wildfire. But he has a ways to go to catch Jordan, which sold 18 times as many pairs of shoes in 2015.
