Think of the four major quarterbacks at the beginning of the new century, South Carolina North Mai, West Ke Dong Ai can be described as a league, as fast as lightning Iverson, the powerful dunk Carter, the big open Maddy, the flowing and agile Kobe Bryant, every battle between the four major quarterbacks can trigger a phenomenon-level spectator, it can be said that the four major guards have pushed the NBA to the world.
These four people were initially considered to be Jordan's successors, the league's real superstars, any one of them has the ability to lead the team to the playoffs alone, especially Iverson and Kobe Bryant are called by the media for a while, and the confrontation in the Finals has become the main theme. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, the creation of people, the outcome of the career of the four major quarterbacks is very different, Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the most successful one, whether it is a champion or an influence, it is the height that the other three cannot reach, and the last salary of the career is also the most telling.
The salary level of that year was not as exaggerated as after the NBA signed a new broadcast contract, even if Kobe Bryant was plagued by injuries in the last few years, and even normal playing became a problem, the team owner directly gave a salary of 50 million yuan for two years in order to repay his contribution and loyalty to the team, which was the highest salary in the league at that time, and Kobe Bryant's salary in the last year was as high as $25 million. The other three players who made a huge difference with it, Iverson only had 160,000, Maddy only 20,000, Carter had 2.56 million, and the three of them together did not have 3 million, less than 1/8 of Kobe's salary.
After 2008, Iverson was trapped by physical injuries and short-boards in stature and gradually lost his starting position, stubborn self-esteem made him choose to go abroad to play, and finally in various cases, he returned to the place where the dream began, playing about 20 games for the team, but unfortunately only $160,000. Maddy is also plagued by injuries, once came to the CBA to play, at that time also caused a very big sensation, both The Chinese and American sports media have been widely reported on, and finally with the support of the championship dream, Maddy chose to join the Spurs.
Before the start of the playoffs, the twenty thousand dollars were more like a form, and finally came to the championship, but unfortunately the Spurs were too sorry that year. Carter is the longest-serving player in the four quarterbacks, and he is also a player who is very aware of the reality of the situation, the elderly Carter does not pursue status and salary, only to have a chance to play, and signed a contract with the Hawks for more than $2.5 million.
