CBA players are divided into two types. One is players in the system, who are compiled by the local sports bureau. After retiring, they have to be managed by the government. Don't worry about not having a formal job. The disadvantage is that they are not very mobile, and they are unlikely to play in other teams, and their annual salary is relatively small. And the other is the players outside the system, how much money they earn depends on their own ability, and no one cares after retirement. Generally speaking, most professional players ignore cultural knowledge learning because of a lot of basketball training in their youth, which causes them to have no education and skills after retirement. It is very difficult to find a job and their lives are relatively embarrassing. Let's take stock of what CBA players are doing after retirement.
Coach: What basketball players want to do after retirement is bound to have something to do with basketball, and the first thing they can think of is to become coaches, such as Adiljan, Wu Qinglong, Yang Xuezeng, Gong Xiaobin, Guo Shiqiang, Du Feng and others. Being a coach after retirement is also very colorful. Among them, I have to mention that Li Chunjiang and Li Chunjiang are also players in the system. After retiring, they were arranged to work in Liaoning Housing Management Bureau. When he felt bored, he jumped out of the sports system and went south to play in Guangdong. After retiring, he became a coach, and only then did Guangdong Hongyuan win seven championships in eight years.
Commentary: As players who have been riding the stadium for more than ten years, even more than twenty years, they are familiar with every movement, every skill and tactics, and every cooperation on the court, and they also know each other, which often becomes an advantage for them to show their talents on the commentary table after retirement, such as Zhang Weiping, Wang Shipeng, Huo Nan, Li Ke, Ma Jian and others, and recently Moco and Shang Ping are also giving explanations.
Actor: CBA players are big and burly, and some specific characters in movies and TV series need such actors. After retiring, Ma Jian not only gave explanations, but also was keen on acting, and participated in many films, including "The Battle of Shama Town" and "A Man on the Road". Bater has appeared in many films, such as Blue Hang Gai, bodyguards and assassins, and The Demon on a Journey to the West. Sun Mingming, a former Beijing team player who is known as "the best player in CBA", was not successful in his career as a player. After retiring, he devoted all his energy to his acting career. Recently, he took a photo of himself as a Taoist.
Opening a restaurant: Sun Zhongcheng worked in Shandong, Wanma, Zhejiang and Guangsha, Zhejiang during the CBA. After retiring, he could only serve dishes in a restaurant because of his low education. Shi Yong, who used to be Yao Ming's teammate in China National Youth Team, was gifted since he was a child, but unfortunately he retired early due to injury. After retiring, he opened a five-square-meter mala Tang restaurant, which is said to be able to maintain his life. He often set up stalls outside and had to hide from the urban management at all times. But now, with his own efforts, he runs a catering company and becomes the chairman!
As a security guard: Xie Zhiming, once a player of Zhejiang Team, was 2 meters tall. After retiring, he became a security guard in his hometown of Jinan, Shandong Province, and stood out among the crowd. Coincidentally, he was lucky enough to stand guard in the famous Furong Lane in Jinan, where tourists kept coming every day, and many people would take photos with him. At one time, he was called "Yao Ming version of security guard".
Politics: Li Yaguang is a model for players to change their careers. Li Yaguang was the historical leader of China men's basketball team in his player days, and he was one of the top 51 basketball players in New China. After retiring, Li Yaguang served as the vice chairman of chinese basketball association, in charge of competitive sports! Yao Ming has achieved great success both as a player and after his retirement. As early as the player's time, he opened a Yao restaurant in Houston, which focuses on China cuisine. After his retirement, Yao Ming became the boss of the Shanghai men's basketball team, and now he is the chairman of CBA company and the president of Basketball Association. I really hope that Yao Ming can lead China basketball to complete the reform and reproduce its glory.
