The Magic hosted the Hawks today, and the scene also ushered in an old acquaintance, that is, the legendary superstar of the Magic team - Maddie. After retiring, Maddie is relatively low-key, and fans rarely see him. Appearing at the Magic home stadium today, Maddie took her family and sat in the VIP seat in the front row, the live director gave the camera to Maddie, and the DJ also introduced Maddie. The 44-year-old Maddie greeted the fans with a smile, and he could see that he was a lot older, transformed into a boss, and his children were basketball players, and he was very happy.
Chinese fans can be said to be very familiar with Maddie's rocket era. But his real pinnacle was actually during the magic period. Maddy's Magic career is actually not long, only 4 seasons, but during this period, he averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, won the scoring title twice, and also entered the best team in the position of point guard and small forward, and was one of the best guard swingmen in that period, and his peak can be comparable to Kobe.
Later, he joined the Rockets and partnered with Yao Ming, which became the youth memory of the fans. He played for the Rockets for 6 years, averaging 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his performance was also quite good. The Yao Mai combination has been in the playoffs all year round, but unfortunately they have never been able to break out of the west, and both of them have retired early because of injuries, which can be said to be a huge regret.
Looking back on Maddy's career, he has played in the NBA for a total of 16 seasons, with beautiful statistics, gorgeous style of play, and a lot of honors. In terms of salary, he earned a total salary of $160 million, and he was still the top name of Adidas back then, so he was worth a lot of money and had already achieved financial freedom.
After retiring, Maddie also completed the transformation. He lives a very comfortable life, because there is no financial pressure, and Maddie spends most of his time with his wife and children. He and his wife are very husband and wife, and the two have supported each other for many years and are very affectionate. Maddie and his wife have four children, the eldest son and daughter are basketball players, and they even have the opportunity to stand on the professional court in the future. Maddie also devoted herself to the cultivation of her children.
In terms of personal life, Maddie is not fully retired. On the one hand, he transformed into a basketball commentator, which, like many NBA superstars, has a professional background and a great reputation, and occasionally attends live, broadcast and sports programs, and can make a lot of money. On the other hand, Maddie also has her own business, and he founded a one-on-one basketball league, the Ones Basketball League. Although it cost more than 10 million, the event has a lot of attention and there are many outstanding young people, so it can be regarded as a very successful commercial event.
In addition, Maddie basically has a trip to China every year, and he and Da Yao still have a close relationship, often participating in public welfare activities together, and also eating and partying together. I have to say that the relationship between Yao Mai and the Yao Mai group back then is really not easy to maintain to this day.
