This year has been a lucky year for Carter, first inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and now the Nets have announced that they will retire Carter's jersey next season.

Carter played in the NBA for 22 years, how much money did he make? How high is the pension?

In the 1998 draft, Carter was selected by the Warriors with the 5th pick, and then immediately swapped with the 4th pick Jamison, starting his career with the Raptors on a contract of 4 years and 9.53 million. In his rookie season, Carter showed super strength, averaging 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game, beating other players in the same class to get the best rookie, and the following year, Carter's score rose to 25.7 points, participated in the dunk contest and became a blockbuster, and also rushed into the All-Star starter, and also staged a death dunk in the Olympics, which can be said to be a high-spirited year. In his third year, Carter's score continued to rise to 27.6 points, and his popularity reached its peak, and he was elected All-Star vote champion for four seasons in his career. That is, in 2001, the Raptors and Carter renewed their six-year contract of 88 million, which was considered a super maximum salary at the time.

In 2003, Carter suffered a knee injury, and in the same year, the Raptors drafted Bosh, and the Raptors thought that Carter was no longer suitable to be the core of the team, so he turned to develop Bosh, which also made Carter dissatisfied, and the conflict between the two sides intensified, and even Carter had a negative game, which also angered the management and fans. In the end, Carter was traded to the Nets, and formed a trident with Kidd and Jefferson to challenge for the championship. But at that time, the strength of the East was already very strong, James and Howard were born, the Green Army Big Three rose, and the Nets only went to the semifinals at the farthest and did not achieve the desired results. In 2007, the Nets and Carter renewed his contract for 4 years and 61.6 million, Carter averaged 23.6 points per game during his time with the Nets, and he was also teammates with Yi Jianlian for a short time.

In 2009, the Magic gave up Turkoglu and introduced the stronger Carter, but unfortunately it still failed to win the championship, and in 2010 he was traded to the Suns, became a free agent after the contract expired, and joined the Mavericks for 9.27 million in 3 years. After that, he began a wandering journey, signing the Grizzlies for 12 million in 3 years, the Kings for 8 million in 1 year, and the Hawks at the end of 2 years. By 2020, when the epidemic broke out and the NBA was suspended, Carter was sent on the court by his coach at the last moment, and hastily staged his farewell battle. Quietly, Carter retired like this. He lasted in the NBA for 22 years, and later in his career he didn't hug his thighs for a championship, but stuck to his love for basketball, playing 1,541 regular season games.

In 22 years, Carter received 7 contracts, and Carter received a salary of $193.36 million, which is already an astronomical amount for athletes, not to mention that Carter still has many endorsement contracts, and after retirement, he often serves as a guest on commentary and shows, and continues to increase his income. And he will also get the NBA's maximum pension, $63,866 per year after 50 years, which is also a very objective income. Carter is 47 years old and has three more years to start receiving his pension.
