[New York Sports News] Vince Carter may have lost a small amount of money. He was looking to sign brand sponsorships and lost the game.

[New York Times] Sports Edition: Although Vince Carter has made rapid progress, he has gone astray. He should not have signed a new sponsorship during the game break. The team's victory is the most important.

New York sports newspapers were criticizing Carter. Because before he played with the 76ers, he signed with Playboy and earned more than one million US dollars a year.

Hugh Hefner opened the newspaper and muttered to himself, "The topic must be created in this way. Some people say good things, and some people say bad things. If you can only say good things, this kind of society is abnormal."

The spokesperson he chooses must be topical enough to maintain high exposure.

This is the condition of a star. A star without exposure cannot be considered a star.

[World Journal] in New York and New Jersey, after the Nets defeated the 76ers, "justified" Carter: Facts have proved that Carter's signing of a new sponsorship will not affect his game performance, but will actually make him perform better.

"Beating the 76ers is just the epitome of Carter's performance this season. There is no one better than him in this rookie class."

In a direct confrontation with "No. 1" Iverson, Carter won again.

Iverson was interviewed after the game. He was very depressed and had a bad look on his face. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists today. His performance was actually very good, especially for a rookie. If he averages more than 20 points per game, he is considered a star-level player. It is rare to achieve such an achievement in a rookie season.

It's a pity that he met the monster-level Vince Carter, otherwise Iverson would have stood out among the 1996 draft players and become the best rookie.

Facing reporters, Iverson directly put down his harsh words and declared war on Carter, "Vince can't beat me unless he kills me, and anything that can't kill me will only make me stronger."

Iverson wanted to be the most unique. Carter took away the light that should have belonged to the "No. 1 pick." The team could not win, but it could compete for this year's No. 1 pick.

If he gets the No. 1 pick, Iverson is confident that by working with Duncan, he will lead Duncan to win the championship trophy.

"To me, Iverson is the best player, and he will be the team's answer." Head coach Davis has always supported Iverson.

Even if he doesn't want to say this, the management is under pressure to praise Iverson and let him become a talent. The record is not important.

Iverson looked sideways at Davis and said dismissively, "I will explode continuously, and I will set a scoring record."

Time waits for no one. It is now the end of March. Carter is about to win the Rookie of the Month again. He has won the Rookie of the Month for 5 consecutive months. It would be a shame if he fails to win the Rookie of the Year in the end.

Iverson did not feel that there was no hope of competition. Instead, he became more competitive and prepared to use a series of high scores to regain his own glory.

"As long as the team doesn't want a record, I can score enough points to shut everyone up." Iverson asked agent Gary Moore to convey his meaning and make it clear to the team management.

His record this season is useless, so he might as well let him have a good time.

On the other side, as the Nets won the game, the New York media's doubts about Carter subsided a little. It gave the New Jersey media a big reveal that they were right to support Carter.

Scored 51 points in a single game, which is very convincing.

"I knew Carter would definitely fight back." The fans still support Carter.

Then, more than 10 media reported the news of Carter signing a new sponsorship.

After the Nets defeated the 76ers and before playing against the Celtics, Carter signed a contract with Pepsi-Cola for five years, US$5 million a year, for a total price of US$240 million.

The previous contract with Playboy was only for 3 years and the total price was only 360 million US dollars. Fagan can get 8% of the limit, which is $28.8.

As the agent, Fagan also distributed 8 US dollars to his assistant agent John Mucci, which was regarded as recognition of him.

With this signing, Fagan earned even more, a full US$96, nearly a million dollars. This is the strength of top economic people's actions. He held up the red wine proudly, Carter was indeed a money maker.

With Carter, Fagan has earned more than $500 million in less than one season. After signing the Adidas sneaker contract, Fagan will receive a total of US$400 million, which is the same as Carter's endorsement fee and will be paid in annual installments. Then signing with Pepsi and Playboy, Fagan earned over $120 million.

"Vince's commercial value is still rising." Fagan looked at the reporters filming the signing ceremony and couldn't help but feel happy. He talked to the Pepsi manager next to him, "He will become a top player and the most commercially valuable player in basketball." One of the players".

John Mucci has been busy and failed to make any money. Recently, he has restrained his nouveau riche mentality and started to concentrate on studying. He was continuously shocked by the enjoyment of high-end people, especially the life of Hugh Hefner, which made Mucci collapse again. reconstruction.

"I will become one of the best brokers. Like Carter, I will reach the pinnacle of my career." Mucci looked at Fagan, a little envious. He had an income of one million US dollars in one order. On the previous order, he helped run the business and only earned to $8000.

"It seems that I have to think carefully about the ideas that Vince taught me. The chewing gum endorsement is an endorsement project that I am directly responsible for. If the contract amount is larger, I will earn more." Mucci kept thinking.

In the past, I was too superficial, but gradually I opened my horizons, could reflect, and made progress.

Carter's popularity continued. As soon as he was criticized, he suppressed the criticism with a strong performance. Then another “mistake” was made, another new sponsorship was signed, and there was much fanfare.

[New York Times] The sports section once again published news about Carter, "After the Playboy Group, and then Pepsi-Cola, Vince Carter's commercial value is growing, but has his competitive level improved?"

[New York Sports News] also joined the camp, "Only Knicks players can allow fans to enjoy real basketball games. Nets teammates are too impetuous, especially Vince Carter, who only cares about signing endorsements and the team's victory." what to do?"

No way, Carter was too popular, causing the Nets to steal the Knicks' limelight. Many Knicks fans are supporting Carter, what should the New York team do?

Suburban New York is not New York.

Carter looked at these newspapers and saw both good and bad things. Some media supported his pursuit of self. Players should expand their territory in sports and business together. Some opposed Carter's approach and believed that players only need to play ball.

"Aren't you worried about these comments?" John Mucci was quite worried, fearing that Carter would be affected. In addition to newspaper comments, there are also comments from fans, which is gaining momentum.

"The first time I encounter such a situation, I will definitely be worried. But as long as I do my own thing, no one will say that after a few times." Carter threw the newspaper aside and motioned to Mucci, "These Use the newspaper to wipe your butt, it will probably make your anus wet."

"Vince, you will make a fortune like this. Hehe, only truly confident people will not care about other people's opinions." John Mucci was very happy, "By the way, I have thought about it. Chewing gum endorsement, first If it continues for one year, the endorsement fee will only increase by US$1. We will see the situation next year and then consider xylitol endorsement."

$20 becomes $30 next season. Mucci only takes 5% of the advertising fee, which is lower than Fagan's 8%. Regardless of whether it is 20 US dollars or 30 US dollars, he only earns more than 1 US dollars.
