In the NBA, most players can earn more than 99% of ordinary people, even if they are basic salary players, as long as they can sign a formal contract, the annual salary is hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus the tight schedule and training in the NBA on weekdays, there are almost no "part-time players". However, today I will list a few part-time players in the NBA, for whom playing in the NBA is just a side hustle!
irving
With the different rules of epidemic prevention of each team, some players who have not been vaccinated are banned from playing, and the most famous player is undoubtedly Irving, because the Nets home rule that players who are not vaccinated by the home team are not allowed to play, so the team's ace star Irving can only play in away games, so they became the first team in the NBA to have an "away advantage". Irving also became a part-time player, usually playing away games, only 41 regular season games for him in a year, and he was so happy to be a part-time player in his free time.
Green
As a recognized big mouth in the active league, the Warriors' dream-chasing Green is not idle after the injury, and recently mentioned a new contract, not with the Warriors, but with turner sports broadcaster, becoming a commentator. As a result, Green has also become the only active commentator in NBA history, but Green does have the talent of a commentator, and it is said that he was able to win the contract because of his outstanding performance in the previous comment bench, and it seems that people who can talk are popular everywhere.
Iguodala
If there is anyone who is the most successful investor in active duty, Iguodala is definitely one of the candidates. Although his career has never been a superstar, he is a big man in the investment circle. Especially in the Bay Area, a brother has a lot of his own investment companies, even the team's Curry, Thompson, and even the previous Durant have followed a brother to engage in side business to make a lot of money, and even some people say that Iguodala's NBA salary is not as much as a year's investment, playing in the NBA is completely exercising.
Russell
The reason why Russell, nicknamed "The Lord of the Rings" in the NBA, can be called a legend is because his experience is too rich, we all know that Russell has won a total of 11 championship rings in his career, including an eight-consecutive championship, and in the 1966 offseason, Russell suddenly became the coach of the team, but at this time he has not retired, so he became the first person in NBA history to be both a player and a coach, and the first black coach in NBA history.
Lillard
As mentioned above, there are players who work part-time as commentators, players who work part-time as coaches, and part-time investments, and Lillard, as the Blazers star, is even more of another way, he even engaged in hip-hop music, and even has several albums, sales are also very good, and even held a few concerts. Now lillard is probably thinking about his next new album during his recovery, so he has to play and make music again, and Director Li seems to be really busy. （ikuet）
