Feeling low on salary

Curry hopes to have equity

Generally speaking, partners or veteran employees will enjoy the equity given by the company as a reward. On the one hand, it is to win over talents and prevent outflows; on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of the company's emphasis on emotions. Such a type of company is often what many people yearn for, and they are willing to work and contribute themselves.

Curry felt helpless about this problem.

This is not the case, recently, Curry discussed the problem that he and other NBA superstars feel underpaid in a podcast with Speedy Norman. Curry said that although his career has exceeded $400 million in his stadium revenue, the NBA does not allow players to hold shares, which makes him feel that he is underpaid.

The host first mentioned that Alexander's annual salary is more than 70 million yuan. Most people think this number is very high. After all, some older generation players may not have received so much salary in their careers, but for Curry, he feels it is low.

Curry explained: I think because of the current structure of the labor-management agreement, we cannot participate in equity distribution. This is a cooperative relationship with the team boss and the league, and we are at a disadvantage in terms of revenue, right? Those numbers may sound amazing, but no matter which period you compare to the present, what the league is doing may have increased by about 10 times. So, part of the reason I say that our salary is low is that we cannot participate in equity distribution during the game. After all, you definitely want to get a piece of the pie from this growth.

Curry believes: I know we are lucky to make a living by playing basketball, and our income is quite considerable. I think these are all due, because basketball is a special 'commodity'. This is a special industry that may always exist because its entertainment value is always online. However, I sincerely hope that the relevant regulations can be adjusted as soon as possible so that players can benefit more from the appreciation of team equity, league valuation and other aspects. I think we deserve this.

It is worth mentioning that Jaylen Brown updated the social media, retweeted Curry's remarks and said: "He is right💡"

Curry's total NBA salary income is expected to exceed $500 million after the recent contract expires. If endorsement revenue is added, his total career revenue will exceed $1 billion.

For this view.

Some people agree, while others disagree. What they agree with is what the previous four elements said at the beginning of the four elements is as follows.

The league is not allowed to hold team equity in active duty. The reason is very simple. Whether you are a player or a superstar, you are working after all. The requirement of wanting equity is unreasonable. Imagine that if this gap is opened, then if several players make trouble, will the boss have no choice? At the mercy of others?

What do you think about this?
