Recently, the CBA game is in full swing, to the surprise of fans, in a recent interview with the media, Li Qun, a famous Guangdong player who has helped the Guangdong team win three championships, revealed the current plight of CBA players in an interview with the media, calling for the rescue of Chinese basketball and improving the treatment of these players.
First of all, when it comes to Li Qun, I believe that many old football fans should be very familiar with him. Li Qun played very well in the Guangdong team that year, and later became an assistant coach after retiring, and now serves as the leader of the Shenzhen men's basketball team. In an interview with a good friend a few days ago, Li Qun talked about his understanding of the development of the CBA league and his worries about the income of CBA professional players. Li Qun bluntly said that the overall income of many players in the CBA is not considerable, which is much worse than that of many Internet celebrity players. He believes that if domestic basketball wants to attract more children to participate in sports, it must be able to increase the income of these players and let the children's families see that they can have a more promising future. Next, more people will send their children to learn Xi basketball, and in the future, more talents will be provided to Chinese basketball.
There is no doubt that there is indeed nothing wrong with Li Qun's words. After all, for parents in China, if their children are not Xi school and have very bad grades, they will generally not be allowed to learn Xi sports. In fact, the outside world has been prejudiced against the sports industry over the years, and the most intuitive way to solve the problem is that more players and athletes with considerable income can emerge in the industry, and they can live a good life. In this way, we can break the traditional prejudices of ordinary people and attract more people to participate in sports. And from the current point of view, Li Qun hopes to change all this starting with Chinese basketball first.
He also gave an example that many Internet celebrities currently earn more than professional basketball. Outside fans may be very envious of the income of well-known players in the CBA, for example, they can get millions of annual salaries at every turn, and there are various commercial endorsements, it should be easy to earn tens of millions in a year. Everyone thinks that the players in the league are living very decently, but in fact, only a very small number of players get high salaries, and most of the players can only get a basic salary. Besides, according to the current salary cap of the league, the highest maximum salary is 6 million, and it basically does not reach 4 million after tax, which is really not much for top players.
All in all, Li Qun's suggestion is good, but how can the league improve the treatment of all players? The key is that the basketball culture can take root in China, be supported by more ordinary fans, and more people buy tickets to support the team to support the league, so that the team club will have more expenses to provide to the players.
