After retiring, Wade was not idle!
This summer, he took a temporary job as a basketball commentator at the Paris Olympics, and Wade plans to start a second spring of his career!
Recently, in an interview with reporters, Wade talked about his future work plans.
"I love working as a basketball commentator, more because I'm a player who has played in the NBA," he said.
Wade, who retired in 2019, has tried different careers in the next 5 years of his life, such as business investment, basketball commentary, basketball training camp, etc.
But people go to tea and cool! As his retirement lengthens, his fame and influence are gradually declining, and his ability to attract gold has naturally weakened.
In addition, as one of the top 75 stars in the NBA, Wade earned 197 million in his career, which does not match his status and fame!
In order to attract James and Bosh to join, he made two salary cuts and sacrifices, about $20 million.
In terms of earning power, he can't compare to James, and compared to Bosh alone, the difference is about $40 million, which made $242 million in his career.
Now, Wade may be influenced by Barkley, and he will choose to start the second spring of his career.
As an NBA celebrity, Barkley has been engaged in NBA commentary since he retired, and so far, he has been engaged in TV commentary for 24 years and has earned $200 million.
Now he is nearly 60 years old, and he is still being pursued by ESPN, with an annual salary of up to $20 million!
Can Wade not be blushing! Do you think Wade can be the next Barkley?
