As the best guard in the NBA, Rondo earned $116 million in his career and didn't have half of it in his hands, thinking that he could make a lot of money in the United States to realize his dreams, but in the end he was exploited and there was nothing left, so that people all over the world woke up again.
Take NBA No. 1 center Jokic as an example, $46.9 million a year, half of which was taken away by the U.S. government, he had to pay $17.36 million in federal taxes, $2.06 million in Colorado taxes, $1.41 million in agency fees, $1.4 million in athlete taxes, $436,000 in FICA, and in the end, only a pitiful $24.23 million in hard-earned money remained. A foreign migrant worker dares to oppress like this, let alone the ordinary people in the United States? And Rondo is much worse than Jokic, Rondo earned the most in 2016 when he joined the Bulls, he only gave an annual salary of 14 million, and as a result, half of it was collected by various taxes and fees, and Rondo finally worked hard for a year and only had $7 million in hard-earned money left, which is worse than that of migrant workers.
How to make an NBA star live, Rondo's expenses are also huge, after becoming famous, the objects are all hot girls with supermodel figures, girlfriends are changed and changed, entertainment and face pomp, in and out of high-end hotels and mansions, all kinds of flashiness in the upper class make Rondo slowly overdraft his own savings, and Rondo's agent is also slowly squeezing him, charging a service fee of no more than 4% from Rondo's contract, which makes Rondo, who has a low income, even worse.
In the end, the American dream of bankruptcy under the layers of American exploitation was shattered, and from Rondo's body, we see that the United States is not a paradise, even if you work hard to look beautiful and earn a lot, you still have to live a simple life in the end, otherwise you will be penniless like Rondo, and finally return to the slums to dream again.
