收入最高的几位球星可能会让你大吃一惊
我最近看到了一项很有意思的研究。
这项研究比较了 2014 年之前球员的新秀薪资（有些甚至要追溯到更早的年代），以确定他们在当今市场上的新秀薪资会是多少。或者用调查人员的话来说：
“如果像迈克尔·乔丹、魔术师约翰逊和勒布朗·詹姆斯这样的人物在 2024 年被选中，他们在当今时代作为新人能挣多少钱？”
他们的研究方法是：这个数据集包含两个排名，一个是自 1979 年以来排名前三的选秀球员，另一个是基于 80 年代、90 年代和 00 年代的 NBA 球星的首个赛季薪资。为了做到这一点，我们收集了所有球员的首个赛季薪资。然后，对于 NBA 球星排名，我们使用每年排名前三的选秀球员平均薪资的百分比变化，将薪资转换为当今的数字。然后根据球员的薪资，从高到低进行排名。
通过分析新秀薪资，VegasInsider 的研究揭示了通货膨胀带来的影响：
- 两届 NBA 总冠军、效力于休斯顿火箭队的哈基姆·奥拉朱旺(Hakeem Olajuwon)将成为当今时代收入最高的新秀，首个赛季的薪资为 15,290,561 美元 。如果奥拉朱旺是在今天参加选秀，那么他的第一份合同将比 1984 年的合同多赚 1,860% 。
- 纽约尼克斯队传奇球星帕特里克·尤因(Patrick Ewing)紧随其后，如果他在 2024 年被选中，他 1,250,000 美元的 신인 급여 将高达 15,075,427 美元 。
- 排名第三的是沙奎尔·奥尼尔(Shaquille O’Neal)，他被认为是篮球史上最具统治力的球员之一，据估计，他的第一份合同将为他带来 13,565,472 美元 的收入。
- 姚明(Yao Ming)和凯里·欧文(Kyrie Irving)排名前五，这两位球员的第一年合同估计都能超过 1250 万美元。

我们自己圣安东尼奥马刺队的传奇球星蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)如果在 2024 年被选中，他的预测收入将超过 12,500,000 美元 ，仅次于姚明和欧文，排名第六。
迈克尔·乔丹排名第 12 位，尽管如果他确实是在本赛季被选中，他最初的 550,000 美元将变成 10,781,806 美元 。

Open Thread: Calculating modern-day rookie salaries for yesterday’s superstars
The highest earners may come as a surprise
I came across this study, which I found interesting.
The concept compared rookie salaries of players before 2014 — some way before — to determine how their rookie salary translates in today’s market, or as the surveyor put it,
“What if the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James were being drafted in 2024, what could they be earning as newcomers in present day?”
Their methodology- This dataset contains 2 rankings, one for the top 3 draft pick players since 1979, and one for NBA stars from the 80s, 90s & 00s, based on their debut season salaries. To do this, we collected the debut salaries for all players. Then, for the NBA stars ranking, we converted the salaries into a modern-day figure using the percentage change of the average salaries for the top 3 draft picks, per year. The players were then ranked from highest to lowest, based on their salaries.
By analyzing the rookie salaries, the VegasInsider study revealed inflation causes the following:
- Hakeem Olajuwon, a two-time NBA champion with the Houston Rockets, would be the highest-earning rookie in modern day with a $15,290,561 debut salary. Olajuwon would have earned 1,860% more from his first contract in 1984 if he was coming through the draft today.
- New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing was a close second with his $1,250,000 rookie salary calculated as $15,075,427 if he was drafted in 2024.
- Making up the top three is arguably one of the most dominant players the game has ever seen with Shaquille O’Neal estimated to earn $13,565,472 from his first contract.
- Yao Ming and Kyrie Irving made up the top five with both players estimated to earn over $12.5 million from their first-year contracts.
Our own San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan would be predicted to earn over $12,500,000, just a smidge below Ming and Irving putting him in the sixth spot, if he was drafted in 2024.
Michael Jordan ranks 12th, although his original $550,000 becomes $10,781,806 if he had indeed been drafted this season.
