Last month, NBA star Cousins signed with the clouded leopards of the Taiwan league, and he is expected to appear on the home court of the clouded leopards as soon as the 20th of this month. It is said that Cousins currently plans to play for half a month, with a base salary of $200,000 and an appearance fee of $10,000 per game.
The clouded leopard really paid a lot of money for Cousins. Just when fans were worried about how to get back to their roots, Clouded Leopard officially announced a message yesterday that a Cousins fan meeting will be held, and the specific cost is that each fan needs to pay 20,000 New Taiwan dollars (about 4,620 yuan) Limited to 50 people, and each person is limited to 2. The details are as follows:
Such a high price made many clouded leopard fans complain in the comment area: "Are you sure you want to do ...... like this", "Just 1,000,000 people laughed to death and wanted to earn back the contract money he came for a week?", "20,000 yuan, did he cook it for me, or did he feed me?", "Laughing to death, the money is really easy to make", "Is the clouded leopard misunderstood? What 20,000? Do you think it's to see Jordan?",
Cousins was once the league's No. 1 center, but since suffering a major injury, he has become a wanderer in the league, moving from team to team and never returning to the top. The 2021-22 season, the final leg of Cousins' NBA career, saw him play in 31 games for the Nuggets, with 8.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists, after which he lost his job from the league.
In the 2022-23 season, Cousins played in the Puerto Rico League, averaging 19 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 25 minutes per game, shooting 57.3% from two-point range and 42.1% from three-point range. Although Cousins has no job in the NBA, he is still in good shape, and it is still more than enough to play in overseas leagues.
In November last year, Cousins came to China to play wild ball with a salary of up to 1 million RMB for 10 days, which caused heated discussions among fans. It is reported that many CBA teams are interested in signing him, but in the end, it will not work. After returning to the United States, there was news that Cousins had signed with the Clouded Leopards of the Taiwanese League.
Cousins has the strength, no matter how he is a former NBA player, but is the price of this fan meeting held by the clouded leopard too high?
