As a superstar, it's normal to pay a fine to a role player. While Paul was still in the Rockets, Gion pushed him down, and the nine-fingered dunk king Green stepped forward to stand up for his brothers, which eventually turned into a big conflict, Green was expelled from the game, and Jean received a technical foul.
In the post-match interview, paul said: "I think so, he (Gorgy-Gion) pushed me not so hard, but it made me not think, I was going to get the ball, then it happened, Gerald (Green) was there, you know what I mean? Be grateful to him, no matter how much they fine him, I'll pay. ”
Paul's salary at the time was $24.27 million. Gerald Green's salary is $1.38 million, which is a fine that is nothing and increases team cohesion.
But this is the same team, Embiid pays a fine for the opponent, and the big picture is the first time to see.
NBA reporter Andrew Lopez reported that Pelicans guard Alvarado said Embiid had contacted him to pay him the fine for the last game's technician.
The two got into a verbal altercation during the match, and the referee gave both sides a technical foul.
Alvarado is paid less than Green, he's on a two-way contract, and the salary is calculated on a daily basis, depending on whether he's in the NBA or the G League that day
The place of effectiveness varies, and the money taken is different.
In the NBA (not only on the active roster of NBA games, but also on the days when he trains and travels with the team), the NBA salary of a two-way player is calculated according to the minimum wage of the rookie, and is paid on a daily basis. When not in the NBA, players receive a two-way paycheck on a pro-rata basis every day. This year's two-way salary is $84,414.
The money still has to be used to pay taxes, so in fact, the basic fine for a technical offense ($2,000, 1-5 times) is a lot for Alvarado.
Alvarado is also grateful for Embiid's generosity:
"We're all players, it's just that there were some verbal altercations on the pitch, you know, I can't afford to pay the fine, but he's a cool guy, he's generous and he contacted me and said he came to help me pay the fine."
From hairstyles, to crying, to now paying fines to opponents, Embiid is such an interesting person.
