隨著薪資上限的調整,在 NBA 自由球員市場開啟的首日,曼菲斯灰熊隊就以北美職籃史上最大合約 5 年 1.53 億美金留下控球後衛 Mike Conley。稍早之前,印城小馬隊與四分衛 Andrew Luck 續約,創下 NFL 史上總值最高的合約,用 5 年 1.4 億綁住這位 2012 年選秀狀元。
.
在 Conley 的 10 年職業生涯中,從未入選過明星賽,而 Luck 則在 4 年內 3 度參加 Pro Bowl。兩人各自在聯盟裡的地位相差甚遠,Conley 只能算是中產階級,Luck 則是聯盟頂級四分衛之一,而且美式足球在北美的市場遠大於籃球,結果卻是後者卻賺得比較少?
.
SB Nation 的作家 Tom Ziller 用幾點簡單的論述,解釋了這個看似詭異的現象:
.
1. 在 NBA 的勞資協議下,球員能分到近一半的聯盟盈餘,估計一年大約美金 30 億,而 NFL 的分帳規則相對複雜,還包括了各自球場的收入,最終分給球員的比例少於 50%,大約每年在 60 億美金左右。 NBA 每年共有 450 位球員(30 隊,每隊算 15 人),而 NFL 則是 1,696 名(32 隊,每隊算 53 人),透過簡單數學計算,NBA 球員平均薪資是 670 萬美金,而 NFL 只有 350 萬。
.
2. NBA 依據年資設定薪水上限,導致了中產階級薪水暴增。舉例來說,在聯盟打滾 13 年的 LeBron James ,今年的上限是球隊總薪資的 35%,依規定最多「只能」領 3,300 萬美金,但他在場上的價值極可能遠超過於此。
.
同樣的情況也發生在 Kevin Durant 身上,他有 9 年年資,上限只能領球隊薪資總額的 30%,這也是他會與金州勇士隊僅簽下兩年短約的主因(包含第二年球員選擇權),明年他將成為10 年老將,頂薪上限將提高為 35%。
.
球隊在手頭相對充裕的情況下,就會以較高的薪水延攬非明星球員,導致中產階級身價水漲船高。像是 Kent Bazemore 與 Chandler Parsons 等人就是受惠者。
.
"salary cap" 「薪資上限」,"salary" 是「薪水」,也可以用 "wage" 「工資」來替換,但一般說「最低薪資」會用 "minimum wage"。"cap" 除了是「棒球帽」以外,也是「蓋子」、「上限」的意思,當動詞有「加蓋」,還有「勝出」的意思。
.
例句:
"Stephen Curry capped the victory over the Thunders with a jaw-dropping buzzer-beater from half-court logo.
「Stephen Curry 以一記令人吃驚的半場三分球絕殺雷霆隊」
.
3. NBA 的新人規模相對小,而且身材條件比美式足球嚴苛,淘汰頻率相對低。這可以從平均職業生涯壽命看出端倪,根據各自的球員工會數據,NBA 的一位球員平均可以打 4.7 年,而 NFL 是 3.8 年。若以新科狀元薪資來看,NBA 的 Ben Simmons 第一年可以領 490 萬美金,而 NFL 的洛杉磯公羊隊狀元 Jared Goff 得賺四年才能勉強超過。
.
當我們說「人才庫」可以用 "pool" 這個字,"pool" 除了是「池子」以外,也是「資源匯集處」之意,而「球員人才庫」稱作 "player pool"。
.
【考考你】
那 "carpool" 又是什麼意思呢?可不是「車庫」喔!
.
4. NBA 大多數薪資合約都是保障合約,而 NFL 因為受傷風險較高、分工也比較細,只有少部分球員可以得到保證合約,因此薪資水平也就拉不上來。
.
"guaranteed contract","guarantee" 「保障」,相反的 "non-guaranteed contract" 是「未保障合約」,有可能因故被球團片面終止。唸起來有點相似 "warranty" 則是「保證書」或是「認可」,別搞錯囉。
.
堪稱網路酸哥的 NFL 匹茲堡鋼人隊跑鋒 DeAngelo Williams,在日前針對 NBA 自由球員「大頂薪時代」有感而發,在 Twitter 上寫到:「你說我酸沒關係,但這些領到 NBA 大合約的人我還得 Google 一下才知道是誰」。Williams 看在眼裡相當不是滋味,相信許多職業美式足球員也和他有同樣感受。
.
你覺得今年 NBA 自由球員市場誰領的合約最誇張嗎?誰又是物超所值呢(penny wise)?

nba free agent 在 pennyccw Youtube 的評價
In their first playoff game in eight years, the Philadelphia 76ers showed the poise of postseason veterans down the stretch.
NBA scoring champion Allen Iverson scored 30 points in his first playoff game and the play of 7-footer Matt Geiger in the fourth quarter lifted Philadelphia to a 104-90 victory over the Orlando Magic in the opener of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
"I am still excited about this game," Iverson said. "I feel like I could still play another 48 minutes. The crowd was against us and it was just great playing in that kind of atmosphere. This was my first one, and I would love to play in a lot more."
"Allen told me he got 15 minutes of sleep last night, that was 15 more than I expected," said 76ers coach Larry Brown, who took his record sixth different organization to the playoffs. "It was a big thing for him to finally get here."
The game was tied at 78-78 with eight minutes left when the 76ers went on a 23-8 run over the next seven minutes to put away the game. Geiger scored 10 of his playoff career-high 23 points in that span. He also finished with a postseason-high 10 rebounds.
"I think their big guys focused on Allen a lot," Geiger said. "I got to some key spots and my teammates found me. I am feeling good about my shot right now."
Geiger, who was signed as a free agent to a six-year, $48 million contract before the season, averaged 13.5 points in 50 games during the regular season.
With Orlando's defense scrambling to double-team Iverson whenever he drove, the 76ers took advantage and grabbed 24 offensive rebounds. As a result, Philadelphia held a huge 57-36 edge on the boards.
"When you get beat by 21 rebounds in a game you are going to have a major uphill battle to stay in the game," Magic coach Chuck Daly said.
While Orlando forwards Horace Grant, Bo Outlaw and Derek Strong and centers Ike Austin and Michael Doleac converged on Iverson when he often beat his primary defender off the dribble, George Lynch was able to snake inside and grab seven offensive rebounds, many of which he converted into easy follow shots. He finished with playoff career highs 15 points and 12 rebounds.
"We try and think of ourselves as a physical team and try and rebound," Lynch said. "Today, I took it upon myself to grab every offensive rebound."
Penny Hardaway, playing with a torn ligament in his right wrist, led the Magic with 19 points but just three in the second half. Hardaway appeared reluctant to shoot from the outside because of the injury and was just 4-of-13 from the field.
Orlando's potent three-guard alignment of Hardaway, Nick Anderson and Darrell Armstrong combined to shoot just 16-of-49. Anderson and Armstrong each scored 18 points, but Anderson was 6-of-22 from the field and converted just 2-of-12 3-pointers. Armstrong hit four 3-pointers, but also had seven turnovers.
"They played well, they played their hearts out," Armstrong said. "They crashed the boards, they did everything they had to do. Give them credit, they played harder than we did."
Game Two of the best-of-five series is Tuesday night at Orlando. The Magic's 21-4 home record was the best in the East during the regular season.
Daly, known for instituting a special defensive strategy against Michael Jordan which became known as the "Jordan Rules" while coaching the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, made special contingencies for Iverson.
During the regular season, Iverson averaged 22.7 points in three games against the Magic, but shot just 37 percent from the field.
Today, Daly again used a multitude of defenders against Iverson, who made 12-of-29 shots. Along with Orlando's three guards, forwards Matt Harpring and Outlaw also took turns on Iverson. But none could stop Iverson from effectively driving to the basket, which caused Orlando's interior defenders to scramble out of position, leaving the Sixers free to crash the boards.
"We've done about everything," Daly said. "I think no matter what you do he is going to get 25 points. We don't have the quickness to double him. We have to run at him with Derek Strong, Ike Austin and Michael Doleac."
"I really don't think anybody can guard me," Iverson said. "I am not being conceited. I just believe in my God-given ability. I don't think anybody can guard me one-on-one."
Despite being pounded on the boards and shooting poorly, Orlando hung tough through most of the second half and even took a 76-75 lead on a follow shot by rookie Michael Doleac with 9:18 left.
Tyrone Hill rebounded Iverson's miss and converted a follow shot while being fouled. He added the free throw to give the 76ers a two-point lead but Orlando tied it on Anderson's lane hook.
Just 5-of-17 in the second half, Iverson gave the Sixers the lead for good when he faked Armstrong with a stutter-step and hit a 15-footer Geiger hit an inside basket with 6:54 left to increase the lead to 82-78.
Armstrong hit his fourth 3-pointer to pull Orlando within 82-81. After Iverson converted 1-of-2 free throws, the Magic turned the ball over twice. Lynch hit two free throws and Theo Ratliff had one to open an 86-81 lead for the Sixers.
After an illegal defense call, Armstrong hit a free throw but Hardaway missed a layup. Eric Snow set up Geiger with a perfect alley-oop pass for a dunk to give Philadelphia an 88-82 lead with just under five minutes left.
Orlando's Derek Strong and Isaac Austin hit jumpers but Geiger responded with jumpers of his own each time. The Sixers scored the next nine points to put away the game. After Ratliff hit a pair of free throws with 2:50 left, Iverson found Snow for a fast-break layup that opened a 96-86 lead with 1:56 to go.
Iverson celebrated by chest-bumping Lynch while most of the stunned sellout crowd of 15,267 filed out. Geiger hit four free throws and Snow added three in the final 86 seconds.
Iverson and Lynch combined for 20 points to help Philadelphia build a 31-22 lead after one period. Iverson hit a runner in the lane and a jumper and rookie Larry Hughes converted a follow shot and a dunk as the Sixers closed the quarter with a 9-2 run.
"We played so hard in the first quarter that I thought that might have set the tone," Brown said.
Orlando cut the deficit to 50-47 at halftime thanks to its foul shooting. Hardaway was 10-of-12 from the line in the second quarter and the Magic were 23-of-31 from the line in the first half.
Anderson drilled a 3-pointer to open the second half, tying the game. Orlando took a 57-56 lead on a 3-pointer by Armstrong with 8:54 left in the third quarter but Philadelphia scored the next six points on a tip by Ratliff, a pair of free throws by Lynch after he was fouled on an offensive rebound and two free throws by Snow.
Orlando responded with a 7-2 run and tied the game at 64-64 on a three-point play by Doleac with just under three minutes left in the third quarter.
