Dear fans and friends, we have followed the NBA for many years and witnessed the glory and curtain call of countless legendary stars.
Now, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and other Chinese players who "played" in the NBA have also entered retirement life. Will these veterans be able to continue to enjoy great returns after retirement?
Turning their retirement life on the back of the table is about the dignity of every player. Let's take a look at the "heroes" in the hearts of these Chinese fans, what will happen to their lives after retirement.
Wang Zhizhi: The homecoming hero of the CBA championship
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, 19-year-old Wang Zhizhi became famous. His nickname of "Chasing the Wind Boy" is still talked about today.
After five NBA seasons, Wang Zhizhi finally returned to the CBA in 2006 and led the Bayi team to defeat the Guangdong Triple Crown and win the CBA championship. With such achievements, Wang Zhizhi can be described as a homecoming hero in Chinese basketball.
After retiring, Wang Zhizhi can receive about 210,000 yuan a year at the age of 45, and 700,000 yuan if he waits until he is 62. With Wang's contributions, we look forward to his retirement.
Yao Ming: A legendary superstar who blazed a trail to NBA glory
In 2002, Yao Ming joined the NBA as a champion. He blazed the trail for Chinese players to glory in the NBA. In 9 seasons, Yao Ming has achieved many great results and won the reputation of "the best center in NBA history".
With such a great feat, we call on the NBA to give Yao Ming enough retirement rewards.
Even if he waits until the age of 62 to apply for a pension, Yao Ming will only receive about 1.26 million yuan a year. Compared to his outstanding achievements in the NBA, this amount seems a bit shabby. We expect the alliance to give Yao Ming more retirement benefits as a sign of respect for the pioneers.
Yi Jianlian: 08 The pillars of the golden generation
Yi Jianlian, a talented teenager, his figure is firmly imprinted in the hearts of a generation of Chinese fans. From 2002 to 2023, for 21 years, Yi Jianlian has always been the pillar of the 08 golden generation. Like the holder of many records in NBA history, Yi Jianlian has made outstanding achievements.
After retiring, Yi Jianlian also faced the dilemma of a cliff-like decline in income. The annual pension of only 700,000 yuan is seriously inconsistent with the return of his illustrious career in the NBA. We call on the NBA to give Yi Jianlian, the leader of the 08 golden generation, a higher level of retirement benefits.
Money can't buy the dignity of the NBA
We see that Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian have all played in the NBA for more than 5 seasons. It stands to reason that you can enjoy a comfortable retirement. But the amount of these pensions is seriously inconsistent with their huge contribution to the NBA.
Chinese fans are devastated by the heart. We call on the NBA to give these veterans who have opened up the Asian market a dignified retirement. Don't lose respect for the pioneers just because of monetary calculations.

"The NBA treats money as its life, but forgets the exploits of the Trail Blazers!"
[Some netizens said]
"Without the Chinese market, the NBA league would have been finished long ago!"
[Some netizens said]
"Where! We want justice for the veterans!"
Dear fans, through the above, we have seen these highly decorated Chinese players, who have blazed a trail for latecomers to enter the NBA, and are worthy of the reputation of a generation of grandmasters.
And now, the financial embarrassment they face is really distressing. What changes do you think the NBA needs to make to fully honor these decorated veterans who have played for the league?
How should they plan their retirement life?
