07 Who earned the most advertising revenue from NBA players in the 08 season?

On June 4, Beijing time, "Sports Illustrated" disclosed the advertising revenue of sports stars from all walks of life in the 07 08 season. Among NBA players, "Little Emperor" topped the list with $28 million, "Rookie" Durant ranked second with $21.65 million, and Yao Ming ranked third with $18 million, and his commercial value was even higher than that of two popular superstars, Kobe Bryant ($16 million) and Howard ($15.5 million). What's even more surprising is that Maddie's advertising revenue is only $6 million, which is one-third of Yao Ming's.

Although Yao Ming's salary income of $13.76 million is nearly 30% less than Maddie's $19.01 million, after adding $18 million in advertising revenue, his total income has reached $31.76 million, which is $6.72 million more than Maddie, which also reflects the huge gap in the commercial value of the two - Rocket One's advertising revenue is less than a fraction of Yao Ming's. In terms of commercial value and popularity, Yao Ming has surpassed Maddie to become the absolute core of the Rockets. What's more, in the regular season this season, Yao Ming's average data in points, rebounds and blocks are the highest on the team.

Of course, in the Rockets, Maddie's commercial value is also more than 10,000 people under one person, you must know that Francis, who ranks third in the team, has only $1.4 million in advertising revenue, which is less than one-tenth of Yao Ming's.

In addition to "the league's No. 1 master" Kobe and "Warcraft" Howard, the players ranked behind Yao Ming include Yao Ming's goal - "Big Shark" O'Neal, whose advertising revenue is $15 million. And Stoudemire, known as "Yao Ming's lifelong enemy", has an advertising revenue of only $2.5 million, which is Yao Ming's.

In addition, Dwyane Wade ($12 million) and Carmelo Anthony ($9.5 million), among the three rookies in '03, are still far behind Yao Ming, although they have earned a lot of money. Compared with the advertising revenue of the Rockets' star stars, Celtics star Kevin Garnett's $9 million, Nuggets star Allen Iverson's $7 million, Nets star Vince Carter's $5 million, Spurs star Tim Duncan's $3.5 million, Warriors star Byron Davis's $2.5 million, and Clippers star Elton Brand's $500,000 are all slightly shabby.

Of course, compared to the advertising revenue of the two major celebrities in the golf world, Yao Ming can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. "Tiger" Woods has made a whopping $100 million in advertising revenue, while Mickelson has reached a staggering $53 million.

Kobe Bryant is the most, and Rookie Durant is the most.
