$28 million in 6 years!
The average salary is nearly $4.67 million.
The value of this contract has surpassed Mo Ran's current rookie contract.
And it also exceeds the annual salary of many active stars.
Adidas dared to give an inside player such a high-level police quotation, which is enough to show their sincerity.
"Mo, we don't see you as an inside player."
Sending Yun to ask the same, Kenneth continued to introduce: "We treat you as a perimeter player."
"And it's still a potential perimeter supernova."
"Our company is going to build a brand new brand around you, but before that, we wanted to be famous first."
in short.
Adidas had the idea to create a new signature sneaker collection for Mo Ran.
Only in the 90's.
There is only one player who has a real signed shoe contract.
That's Mile Jordan.
Although Nike and Adidas have developed various styles of sneakers for their respective players.
The most typical is the bubble series that Nike promotes for Penny Hardaway.
These very player-style sneakers are not their signature sneakers.
Aside from the great Mile Jordan, there probably wasn't a second player in the '90s worthy of a signature shoe.
Therefore, Adidas did not dare to come up and ask for the endorsement of Mo Ran's signature sneakers.
The six-year, $28 million contract has an extension clause.
During the first three seasons of the asking period.
If Mo Ran can make the "740" at least two league best team.
Whether it's the first, second or third team.
Just twice!
Adidas will convert this contract into a signature sneaker contract and double the salary of the contract for the next three years.
At the same time, for Mo Ran to create the first signature sneaker in adidas history.
Under Kenneth's explanation, Mo Ran understood the meaning of Adidas' question.
They guaranteed Mo Ran a six-year, $28 million brand endorsement contract.
If Mo Ran is worth enough to support the size of his signature sneakers in the next three years.
Adidas will boldly create signature sneakers for Mo Ran.
Ok,.
This style of doing things with shaky, trembling attempts is really Adi.
"Mo, you can rest assured that even in the first three years, we will provide you with the latest technology combat shoes. 22
"And definitely the strongest flagship of Adidas! 39
Kenneth really wants Mo Ran to sign with Adidas.
As Nike gradually overwhelmed Adi's stall.
A supernova like Mo Ran cannot be missed.
"Thank you very much for Adidas, but I will not consider this endorsement."
The enthusiastic explanation on the other side really touched Mo Ran.
But he refused: "We all know that 28 million in 6 years, or an annual salary of 4.7 million, is not the value I should get.
joke.
Is $28 million in 6 years a lot?
Mo Ran felt not much at all.
I carry the two major markets of Los Angeles + China.
I won't say much about the style of the ball, and there is also a 9-point test.
Why not 10 points?
Because the full score is only 9 points.
28 million in 6 years?
Apart from rejection, there is no second possibility.
"I know that you are worth far more than that. 99
Kenneth is still fighting: "But Mo, please believe me, after three years, this interview will reach an annual salary of 10,000 yuan, or even a higher-level police officer!"
"I don't want an intangible future, there's no point in drawing a pie, buddy.
Mo Ran is decisive: "Thank you again Adidas for your attention and look forward to your next offer.
Pierre Kennet still wanted to fight for it, but even Bill Duffy got up and took the initiative to see off the guest.
Just like Mo Ran thought.
Bill Duffy knows very well what kind of sneaker endorsement contract he deserves as a client.
Signature shoes are the minimum requirement.
Starting with a rough annual salary is a must!
Adidas is indeed the first company to come to the door, and Kenneth's sincerity is definitely blowing.
However, business inquiries are not sentimental.
28 million in 6 years, it's just an ordinary endorsement asking for an appointment, which is really outrageous.
"Mo, Nike, Reebok and Converse also got in touch with me and wanted to talk to you about endorsements.
With Kenneth gone, Bill Duffy told Mo Ran: "Before they make an offer, I think we need to do something."
If no action is taken, the next few companies will be like Adidas, and the first offer will be lower than expected.
Wouldn't that be a waste of both parties' time?
Mo Ran nodded.
He also agrees with Bill Duffy.
Just the day after Adidas was denied a visit.
The Los Angeles Times broke the news on the basketball tile:
"Exclusive news! Los Angeles Lakers No. 1 pick Mo Ran rejects Adidas' 6-year $30 million endorsement offer!"
Once the news was exposed, it was like a stone sinking into a pond, causing widespread heated discussion.
You know, although major companies do not regard Mo Ran as a traditional insider.
But the fans don't understand this.
The statement that the center does not sell shoes is not only spread among the major sports brands.
It is also circulating among fans.
Take a look at some of the strongest big men of the '90s.
Patrice Ewing.
Because the endorsement contract salary is too low, the gorilla simply established a sneaker brand in 1989 and spoke for himself.
The big dream, Ola Swan, is ridiculously low in commercial value.
Even if Jordan won two consecutive championships after retiring, Da Meng could not sign a contract with a top sports brand.
His sneaker endorsement is actually the brand of NBA basketball – Spalding!
It sounds like a magic thing, but it's true!
Postman Karl Malone, who endorsed Converse early in his career, earns only $150,000 a year.
Even in the current era of rising wages, Malone's annual salary for endorsements is only $300,000!
In the active league, who has the highest contract for sneaker endorsements?
That's the fateful enemy of Mo Ran in Minneapolis – Kevin Platypus, Abu, Kevin Garnett.
KG is worthy of being Mo Ran's lifelong enemy.
When he showed Jihua in his rookie season, he conquered Nike and won a five-year endorsement contract of $2.3 million.
This is already the largest salary endorsement deal for a big man in the league so far.
So, when Adidas gave Mo Ran a six-year, $30 million double-team, fans were stunned.
What surprised them even more was Mo Ran's choice.
He actually rejected the highest endorsement offer for a big man in NBA history!
certainly.
Those few are like sports brand companies, but they don't look like fans on the surface.
Nike chairman Phil Knight recalled a direct call to the negotiating team headed to Los Angeles.
And an emergency high-level meeting was held.
"Mo Ran's team is sending us a signal. 99
Phil Knight pointed out directly: "There is no need for an endorsement request with an annual salary of less than 5 million to be at the negotiating table in Los Angeles."
"But Chairman, didn't we offer Mo Ran an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 5.4 million?
That's right.
In terms of Mo Ran's endorsement annual salary, Nike is still a little more arrogant than Adidas.
The annual salary of 5.4 million is just the beginning. Nike has also added a lot of reward clauses in this endorsement contract.
If Mo Ran can achieve it all, he can get close to $8 million in annual salary at most.
The annual salary of 8 million US dollars has surpassed all the superstars in the league.
In addition to the AJ share that is not as good as that of Mile Jordan, the annual salary of 8 million is regarded as the top existence in the league.
But even with this offer, Phil Knight recalled the negotiating team!
what is this?
"Listen to me, lottery players, Mo Ran wants more than just an endorsement, he wants to have his own signature collection."33
Phil Knight said: "Maybe we should reconsider this endorsement..
"I personally think Mo Ran deserves a signature shoe deal, but what do you guys think?
With Mo Ran's style of play + powder absorption, coupled with the strong market appeal of the two major markets of Los Angeles and China.
Phil Knight is convinced that Mo Ran deserves a signature sneaker endorsement.
But Nike is not a word.
The views of other board members also matter.
"We should observe again, this time Allen Iverson's suspension may be the best chance."
Resist the high-level people, and gradually reach a consensus.
Mo Ran single-core led the team in the first game, and scored an astonishing 45+20 double-double.
In the next three games led by the single-core team, there is another game that will face Shaquille O'Neal, one of the four centers.
These three games, Mo Ran's performance, may decide the final choice of Nike management!
The same dialogue, also in Reebok, Converse and Adidas management.
Several major sports brands have reached a consensus on this point:
See what kind of performance Mo Ran will use to raise his own status!
On November 22, US time, the Lakers host the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors' record this season is also very poor.
So far this season, they have 3 wins and 7 losses in ten games, ranking last in the Western Conference.
Joe Smith, the team's No. 1 overall pick last season, ushered in an improvement in numbers this year.
However, the improvement of Joe Smith's data did not play a positive role in the team's record.
This is the Warriors' offensive core, not Joe Smith.
All-Star guard Latrell Sprewell is the absolute core of the Warriors.
Who is Sprewell?
This guy is nicknamed Madman.
How crazy is he?
In Mo Ran's memory, the super guard who came out of Wisconsin was in a team practice in the 97-98 season.
Clashes with team coach PJ Camosier.
Then, Sprewell started directly and slapped Camosier on the neck.
The throat lock that shocked the world came from his hands.
Immediately afterwards, the league suspended + the Warriors canceled his appointment, allowing the madman to eat a full 68-game ban.
Looking at Iverson and Big Ben who are in the turmoil of suspension at this time, the future madman can say:
All of you here are brothers!
After the 2004-05 season, the 34-year-old madman directly rejected the Timberwolves' three-year, $21 million contract extension.
And said 1.4 out of the sentence, the famous saying:
"There is no way to support you without 10 million!"
After saying this, when the Timberwolves really didn't give Yun a 10 million annual salary to renew the contract, Sprewell didn't look back and chose to retire directly!
certainly.
No matter how bizarre what Sprewell does, how wild he is.
It doesn't affect him being a really strong attacker on the court.
At the Lakers home, the madman scored 33 points, and then joined the empty chop group gloriously.
Because today, the real protagonist is not him.
There is only one main character in Staples tonight, and that is Mo Ran!
In the whole game, Mo Ran, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 96th, almost completely overwhelmed Joe Smith, the No. 1 overall pick in the 95th.
While scoring 46 points and 22 baskets wide, Mo Ran had 8 blocks and 3 steals on the defensive end.
Only Joe Smith scored a pitiful 4 points and 1 rebound, the worst individual performance in a season!
"Mo Ran won the battle for the No. 1 pick, and the 96th No. 1 pick scored a 45+20 double-double for the second consecutive game! 99
Wilt "Chamberlain, the first man after the single-core team led by Mo Ran, defended the undefeated gold of the Los Angeles Lakers!
After sending the Golden State Warriors at home, the Los Angeles Lakers set off for Vancouver.
In the third game led by Mo Ran's single-core team, he also ushered in another fateful enemy of his own.
The ferocious giant shark in the snowy night in Vancouver!
