Sigh! The Lakers won the championship with a basic salary crying poor, US media: Howard's total salary is 240 million US dollars

NBA is the best stage for basketball in the world, and the competition is also very fierce. Players with dreams all want to become superstars, and they can not only get higher respect, but also get a high salary of 100 million yuan.

Recently, the US media ranked NBA players' career salaries, and from the statistical reference data, James ranked third with a total salary of $306 million, Kobe ranked second with a total salary of $326 million, and Kevin Garnett ranked second. The total salary of $334 million ranks first, and the next 4-10 players are Shaquille O'Neal 286 million, Chris Paul 260 million, Dirk Nowitzki 251 million, Carmelo Anthony 2.48 100 million, Tim Duncan 242 million, Dwight Howard 240 million, Chris Bosh 239 million.

The total career salaries of James and Kobe are understandable, but attentive fans found that the Lakers champion center Howard actually received $240 million, second only to Duncan of the Spurs, and even only $66 million less than James. The 35-year-old Howard can rank ninth in his career salary, which really surprised fans.

Howard's total salary in the past three years has only been more than 10 million. After switching to multiple teams from the Magic, he gradually faded out of the fans' vision. In the 2018-19 season, he only played 9 games for the Washington Wizards. In the offseason last year, Howard also took the initiative to apply for a non-guaranteed contract to sign with the Lakers. Just when many fans thought that Howard had no money, the US media statistics of 240 million US dollars really couldn’t believe it.

In fact, Howard really earned $240 million. After the rookie season contract ended, the Magic gave a four-year, $64 million contract (the 08-12 season), and then moved to the Lakers, Rockets, Hawks, Hornets and The Nets, the annual salary is more than 19 million US dollars, and even the Rockets provided 23 million US dollars in the 2015-16 season. After 2018, Howard's age increased, his shooting ability was still poor, coupled with the trendy small-ball style of play, the traditional center no longer became the sweet pastry of the league, and Howard became less and less concerned, and no one wanted to. wanted.

Because Howard didn't know how to invest reasonably and frugally, the money he made was not enough to splurge quickly, and he soon became very poor. Crucially, befriend multiple women at a young age, and then have children. To this end, he also needs to pay child support to five children every year, and Howard wants a job to make ends meet. Recently, a new relationship has been added. It is understood that Howard has successfully proposed, and the two may be officially married.

I have to say that the man who used to be able to change James alone now ends up relying on a basic salary to make a living, which is really a pity.
