Compared with that year, Spalding endorsed a basketball called INFUSION, which has its own inflatable device, 4 10 yuan RMB, but that was in 2004.
The total value of this three-year contract is about $83.5 million. In the 20 1 1 ~ 20 12 season, Kobe's annual salary was $25.24 million, and it reached $27.84 million in the 20 12 ~ 20 13 season. The last year of the contract is 20 13. This also makes Kobe the first player with an annual salary of $30 million after Jordan.
In the contract signed between Kobe and the team, there are also some "overlord clauses", that is, Kobe also has veto power in the transaction. Trading veto is not uncommon in the contract, it will appear in the Byrd clause, and the player who signs with the Byrd clause must not be the highest paid player.
However, now Kobe not only holds the top salary, but also has the veto power to trade, which is unique in the league. In fact, this clause was included in the contract signed by Kobe Bryant and the Lakers as early as 2004.
After that, if the Lakers want to trade Kobe, they must first get his consent.
