27/5/6, 1st team all nba
$20,000,000/year
---------------------------------------------
jersey sales
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_a...rseys_generate
fair estimate
kobe bryant was #1 in jersey sales for most of the last decade
he's probably responsible for 10% of the sales atleast
which is $400million
$400,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------
shoes
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbade...shoe-salesmen/
kobe bryant makes around 22.3% of that ( kobe signs anual deals of 40 million every 5 years )
50,000,000/year
----------------------------------------------
trading cards panini
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panini_America
kobe is exclusively with panini. he is one of the only top nba names exclusively signed with them. making him pretty much the only reason nba fans buy their cards and looking for autographs or jersey cards
i'd say 25% of the market is basketball. with kobe being responsible for atleast 50% of the sales
1 billion divided by 4 = 250,000,000
50% of 250,000,000 is 125 million
$125,000,000/year
-------------------------------------------
ticket sales
http://madamenoire.com/101895/nba-ch...illion-team/3/
2 million times 82 games is 164 million
the average nba arena sells 16,000 seats per game
theres 19,060 seats in staples center
because of kobe they sell out every game. any team that sells out must have an elite brand player
which is around a 16% increase
16% of 164 million = 26.4 million
$26,400,000/year
-----------------------------------------------------------
tv contract
the lakers signed an 8 billion dollar decade long contract. with mostly all of it due to kobe bryant
hes responsible for atleast 25%
$2,000,000,000 for the next 5 years
2 billion devided by 5 is 400 million
$400,000,000/year
---------------------------------------------------------
which is a grand total of
$1,021,400,000
1 billion dollars bare minimum
not counting allot of the world. just common knowledge
still think kobe is overpaid?
