The Largest Wealth List of NBA Players from the Shoe Endorsement

Basketball culture has its own pride in the shoes used. This feeling makes basketball shoes a part of popular fashion culture. So, of course, sports brands are ready to invest enough so that basketball players become marketing weapons

Even though there are many international basketball events, brands still choose the NBA as a field to find attractive basketball players for sale. This makes sense, because the highest men's basketball league in the United States is in the spotlight. Forbes then made a financial statement about the NBA players' income from shoe approvals.

"Big" landmarks, they say, are when a player receives a minimum face value of $ 9 million per year. This number is only a contract, without sales fees and other benefits. Usually, the sponsor will prepare a personal bonus if the player succeeds at the club. Starting from the qualification group, the playoffs, semi-finals, finals, and champions will receive more prizes. Plus, if you manage to win personal titles such as MVP, Best Ruki, All-Star ranking and others. This is what Abraham Damar Grahita obtained with DBL Ardiles when he won the 2018-2019 IBL season and the title of best reserve player. The bonus system that is implemented follows what is usually done in a foreign brand clause.

Nike and Jordan mastered this field. Nine of the 14 basketball players in the NBA, earning more than 9 million US dollars, worked with them. Two brands of Bamboo Curtain Country dare to invest a lot here. Not without reason. The NBA report shows that around 300 million Chinese play basketball. Every year, the brand is always scheduled to hold a promotional title. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Klay Thomson, Dwyane Wade and others travel regularly on business trips to China.

Klay Thomson (ANTA) - $ 9 million
