Carter played in the NBA for 22 years, how much pension can he receive every month now? Netizen: Unbelievable

At his peak, Carter conquered countless fans with his gorgeous and flowing dunks, and was called the "four quarterbacks" with Iverson, Kobe and Maddie at the beginning of the century, and was the popular fried chicken in the league at that time, and was elected the All-Star vote four times is the best proof. Even in the eyes of many fans, Carter is the best dunker in NBA history, and there is no one.

However, Carter's career is not as perfect as his dunk, compared with the other three of the four quarterbacks, Carter not only never touched the stage of the Finals, but also did not have MVP, scoring champion, best team such "hard goods", it can be said that in addition to the length of his career, Carter's personal honor and historical status are inferior to the other three.

In fact, back in 2018, the Warriors threw an olive branch to Carter, hoping that he would sit in the locker room and serve as a mentor to young players. However, faced with this opportunity to complete the championship, Carter chose to refuse for the simple reason that he wanted to play instead of mixing a ring and quietly retiring. Because of this, Carter gained the admiration of fans and also traded for a longer career. It wasn't until 2020 that the 43-year-old Carter Sr. officially announced his retirement.

Now Carter is over 46 years old, and according to NBA regulations, retired players can receive their own pensions as long as they are over 45 years old, and the specific amount is directly related to the number of years of service. So the question is, how much pension can Carter, who has played in the NBA for 22 seasons, receive today?

As we all know, most NBA players are not good at money management and profligate, so there are many bankruptcies after retirement, including superstars such as Iverson and Pippen. Therefore, in order to ensure the life of players after retirement, the league introduced a pension policy in 2014, as long as they have played for more than 3 years, they can get an average monthly pension of $306* after the age of 45, and will continue to improve after the age of 50.

According to calculations, Carter now receives an average pension of $4,492 a month, which is about 53,000 a year, and about $80,000 after the age of 50. In contrast, this amount of money is not as much as Carter's one-month salary at his peak, but no matter how small an ant is, it is also meat, which is also a gift to Carter's 22-year career.
