#头条首发大赛#人们都说现在的钱越来越不值钱了, so how serious is the currency depreciation? Kobe Bryant's maximum salary contract in the NBA never exceeded $30 million a year, and Kobe's entire NBA career totaled $328 million. Looking at several top-salary contracts signed in the NBA this year, Jayson Tatum, who just won the championship, signed a five-year super contract of $315 million, with an average annual salary of more than $70 million. Doncic's next contract is expected to reach $346 million over five years, and his annual salary will surpass Tatum's.
I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it, this gap is too big! While it doesn't tell the whole story, it's the most intuitive manifestation of today's currency depreciation. Although Tatum helped the Celtics win the NBA championship this year, how do his personal achievements compare with Kobe? It's not a level at all, but his salary is more than twice that of Kobe. If Bryant had lived in this era, it is estimated that his annual salary could reach more than $100 million.
Don't think that this is just an isolated case, the problem behind it is that global inflation and currency depreciation are getting worse. Because the NBA is a business league, team owners can't do loss-making business, they have to make money. This means that other costs related to basketball are also rising, as are tickets. Looking back at our usual various living costs, is it also rising? This shows that currency depreciation is a common phenomenon and not an isolated one.
