All four major points guards are superstars, who among them has the most salary? MVP Iverson is at the bottom of 150 million

Basketball

There are still many fans who insist that the NBA in the 2000s was the most exciting one. This idea is obviously not unreasonable. At that time, the NBA's defense intensity was more intense, and there was also a lack of stars in the league. There were historical super giants such as O'Neal, Duncan, Nowitzki, and other top defenders on the outside. When it comes to Iverson and Kobe, we can think that they were in the same group, which was the famous four major points guards. In addition to the two of them, the other two players are McGrady and Carter.

The four major points guards at their peak are undoubtedly all hot superstars in the league. They can take into account their personal strength and playing styles on the court, so there is a reason why the league chooses to praise them. Among the four major point guards, their respective achievements are different, which also affects their income in the NBA. Next, we have taken stock of the total salary of the four major point guards during their NBA play. Among them, MVP Iverson can only rank at the bottom with $150 million!

4. Iverson (US$150 million)

As the No. 1 pick in the 96 Golden Generation, Iverson was highly expected as soon as he entered the league, and his ability to enter the NBA also inspired many small players. Even Iverson's dressing had a huge impact on the NBA later. However, when it comes to Iverson's performance on the court, he averaged 23.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game in the regular season of the rookie season, which also proved that the outside world's optimism about him is fine. After

, Iverson played better and better, and he gradually became one of the best players in the NBA, so in 1999 he was able to sign with the 76ers with a maximum salary. In the 2000-2001 season, Iverson ushered in his peak. In the regular season, he averaged 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Under his leadership, the 76ers ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 56 wins and 26 losses. In the end, Iverson also successfully won the only MVP in his career.

Iverson led the 76ers to the finals all the way, and during the series against the Raptors, he scored 50+ twice. In the finals, Iverson scored 48 points in the first game and gave his opponent the only loss in the playoffs. Although the 76ers still lost to the Lakers that year in the finals, Iverson has completely proved his strength. Later, until the 2008-2009 season, Iverson's annual salary was always at the forefront of the league. Unfortunately, his career was not long. After the 2008-2009 season, he was on the verge of retirement. Later, he signed a basic salary and stayed in the league, which became his last contract in the NBA.

3.McDy ($163 million)

Compared to Iverson, McGrady has made great contributions. He entered the NBA after graduating from high school. Most of the games in the first three seasons of his career were substitutes on the court. Therefore, his best performance in the year was only 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists. However, considering that McGrady was still only 20 years old at the time, the Magic signed him in the offseason of 2000 with a 7-year, 92.8 million contract, which became a key turning point in McGrady's career. After joining the Magic, McGrady directly started firmly, and his ball rights on the offensive end also soared. In the 2000-2001 season, his data also increased to an average of 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Therefore, McGrady was not only elected as the fastest-progress player, but also successfully selected for the All-Star and All-Second Team this season.

McD also played his best performance in the Magic. In the 2002-2003 season, he averaged 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game. That year, he not only won the scoring champion, but also was selected into the All-A-Team. Later, McGrady was traded to the Rockets and signed another $63 million contract with the team. Unfortunately, due to injury, he quickly went downhill, and in the end he failed to break through the second round with the Rockets. Later, after leaving the Rockets, McGrady's competitive state declined severely. For the sake of the championship, he joined the Spurs at the end of his career, but unfortunately he failed to get a championship ring in the end.

2. Carter ($184 million)

Carter is a slightly weaker among the four major point guards at their peak. Although he averaged 20+ in 10 consecutive seasons, he was only selected for the All-A-Second Team at the highest level. That was in the 2000-2001 season. Carter in the regular season averaged a career-high 27.6 points, and also had 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks. Under his leadership, the Raptors achieved a record of 47 wins. In the offseason in 2001, Carter was able to sign a maximum salary of 88 million yuan with the Raptors for 6 years, but before the contract was over, he gradually began to decline. Especially after leaving the Nets, Carter became more and more like a role player, but his attitude towards basketball was really nothing, otherwise he wouldn't have been playing in the NBA until his 22nd season. At the end of his career, Carter did not choose to join a strong team and try to "get around" a championship ring. When he found a new job, he still put whether he could play on the court or not. Therefore, the Grizzlies, Kings and Hawks he joined were all bad teams at that time.

1. Kobe ($328 million)

Kobe is similar to McGrady's early career. He also entered the NBA after graduating from high school and could only play as a substitute in the early stage of his career. But the difference is that Kobe plays for a giant like the Lakers, so even if he can only play 26 minutes per game in the second year of his career and contribute 15.4 points, he can still be selected as an All-Star.. Kobe gradually evolved later. After entering the 21st century, he helped the Lakers win three consecutive championships. From this time on, he proved that he had a higher ceiling.

In the 2002-2003 season, Kobe averaged 30 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the regular season. Therefore, it was the first time he was selected for the Double First Team at the same time. From this we can see that Kobe had already entered the discussion of the best player in the league at this time. Later, Kobe basically always received a maximum salary. During this period, he won the scoring champion twice and won the MVP in 2008. The most important thing is that in 2009 and 2010, Kobe led the Lakers to win two consecutive championships, and he personally won two FMVPs, so he has firmly ranked first in the league. After

, Kobe's form remained until the 2012-2013 season. Unfortunately, his peak was completely stopped due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. Kobe, who made a comeback later, obviously his true strength is no longer at the All-Star level. However, considering his contribution and popularity to the team, the Lakers are not only willing to pay him a maximum salary every year, but also helped him create the biggest retirement tour that may be the grandest in NBA history.
