August 23, Lakers star Kobe Bryant’s birthday,
Air Jordan 4 Retro Fire Red he has been working hard in the league for 16 seasons. Bryant after the league has emerged so like James, Durant and Rose “new” players, but the “elderly” Bryant has not these young people out of the center of the stage. State salary income, now popular, Bryant at the peak of his career. Bryant looked now, but people think of when Jordan.
Birthday to enjoy a short holiday
For Bryant, I am afraid that now the best birthday gift is to return home in Los Angeles, and his daughter spent birthday. After the Olympics, he nonstop to come to China, running around to a different place every day, and participate in various activities, for a then 34-year-old veteran soon, especially just experienced veteran Olympic champion, simply incredible ’s.
After the day before yesterday, and finally back to Los Angeles, Bryant said: “finally went home, I love Los Angeles, which is a long, short summer, I will try to enjoy the remaining holidays.” But in fact, Bryant vacation is not as it sounds leisurely, because he soon ready to resume training, while the Lakers training camp will also start a month later, he will train with Nash, Howard, Gasol prepare for the season to fight for his next one championship ring.
Bryant at least another three years
Before the interview with Bryant when he said:
Air Jordan 4 2012 For Sale ”I do not know how long he will play, but I think three years almost.” Bryant is very aware of their age, although he is now the state is still very good, but compared to around James, Durant and Rose excellent physical gifts, great impact player, 34 years old, he is obviously physical fitness has been in decline. But he has been through high-quality, high-intensity training to maintain the state, to maintain their muscle strength and avoid the occurrence of serious injuries.
3 years Bryant himself given a life, to his physical condition, as long as no major injuries, at least you can call on for three years. The main reason is that Bryant eager to again enjoy a taste of the championship, he said: “This will be my 17th season in the league, 17 years is a very long, a lot of players are not playing for such a long time. I won five championship rings, someone said the other team to feel, but I still hope that we can once again regain the championship next season. ”
Income play exactly like Jordan
Although Bryant is now 34 years old, but he is still the league’s most popular and one of the most charismatic players, and his value is still at his peak, a variety of sponsors, endorsements do not say , only wage income, enough to allow other players to catch up.
Calculations someone to Kobe, he and his Lakers contract has two years and $ 27,849,000 in salary next season, the 2013-2014 season, more than the $ 30 million mark, reaching $ 30,450,000 then 36 years old, he will also become the second bit of the annual salary of $ 30 million player after Michael Jordan. Jordan hit the NBA’s highest annual salary record, when his 35-year-old, that sum astronomical contract reached $ 33.14 million.
In fact, in recent years, Bryant also like when Michael Jordan, on the play to make the transition, in reducing the number of his flying buckle and jumpers, especially the number of fadeaway jumper, which is also a veteran must be done a change, he must reduce the body burden of each offensive and defensive, with the smallest price to obtain the most effective.
The “old age” for the then 38-year-old Jordan,
Jordan 4 Retro For Sale Wizards comeback, relying on his fadeaway jumper, can still averaged more than 20 points until the 40-year-old retired completely, Bryant now state and play, in fact, the resort on 3 years, not a problem.
Bryant has always said he did not want to compare and select and Jordan on the 24th is not over Jordan’s No. 23, but people will always see the shadow of the “trapeze” from him. The 34-year-old’s birthday that day, and if he is a wish, will own the last three years of his career, like Jordan to again win a three-peat?
