Jordan earned $33 million on 1998. How much is it worth now?

Who called him Michael Jordan? Jordan is recognized as the god of basketball, the unshakable first person in history, two consecutive championships, six finals MVP, 10 scoring champion and five regular season MVP. The ruling alliance in the great god era in the 1990 s. After the end of the 65,438+0996 season, Jordan felt that his salary of 4 million a year was no longer worthy of his status, so he voiced his voice and wanted to try his own value.

At that time, the Knicks, backed by new york, was always a big ball market, and the boss earned a lot of money. At the sight of Jordan's asking price, the Knicks with deep pockets immediately stepped in and offered Jordan an amazing $30 million. You know 1997 NBA salary cap was $24.36 million, and 1998 was $26.9 million. It can be said that this annual salary is higher than the salary cap, and the salary of one person is much higher than that of the whole team 14. Now it is $250 million to $300 million. You can imagine how amazing the salary was at that time.

Maybe some fans still don't understand this. Let's give another example. At that time, the house price in Pudong was only 2,000 yuan, and Jordan could buy a house of 1 0,000 100 square meter in Pudong with one year's salary. I think if Jordan knew this and bought a house in China, he would be worth several times now. Of course this is a joke, but it is enough to prove how terrible the salary of Jordan 1996 season is!

Let's take a look at Jordan's career salary level first. In the first three seasons, Jordan's salary was 550,000, 630,000 and 850,000 dollars respectively. After the rookie season, Wang's salary has more than doubled: 2 million won for one year and 2.5 million won for two years. It's another annual salary transition of 3.25 million, and Jordan has received an annual salary of 4 million for two consecutive years. Following the 94/95 and 95/96 seasons, Wang's contract was reduced again: 3.85 million yuan for two years. For Jordan, who has helped the Bulls win three consecutive championships, the annual salary of 4 million is really too small, so he made a request to the management: You decide for yourself, how much am I worth?

Because of the Knicks' participation, I was also flustered at that time. They are afraid that Jordan will leave the team and join other teams. So they applied to the alliance and got an extra privilege called compensatory salary. To be fair, the league decided with a wave that each team can have a player with the highest salary, and this person's salary is not included in the salary cap. This time, with Jordan's annual salary of $3,365,438 and $4,000 in the 1996-97 season, it became a swan song in history. There is no second Jordan in the world, and now it is definitely $250 million. ?

At that time, everyone enjoyed the bonus brought by Jordan and acquiesced in this state. The bosses of other teams are not stupid. There is only one Jordan in the world, and bosses won't give other players huge salaries.
