1. Love of the game.
2. They are acquiring enough money for retirement.
40 is mostly the age they retire. After that there will be no money entering in their accounts.
They still got 30-40 years to live and I dont think the money they got from playing basketball can afford that.
Add up the life they got used which is mostly expensive.
So business will be their option since they cannot be accepted in office works for that age.
I do think Dirk is a wise man. His Teacher might have already prepared him for that.
I remember Yao Ming when he retired, he got a contract to have a tour around the world to become an advocate of something so that can also happen to Dirk if he's out of NBA.
Yao's story is way different with Dirk.
If you are living in a communist country then it will be a different rule.
It is like your momey is being halved as always for the sake of the government.
That is why Yao have his own television channel way back. Somehow I think this is because he is giving a big share for his country.
Maybe a shooting school business will really fit for Dirk.
A shooting school would be amazing if Dirk manage to have that and for sure many will enroll to it especially those aspiring players and young potentials.
Sorry about that.
I just remembered that big television screen where I see Yao most of the time and that is why I suddenly talked also about their government.
Correct, a shooting school would fit Dirk specially how he does the proper way to shoot to avoid blocks.
Examples of bad shooting positions are Shawn Marion, Lonzo Ball and also Steph Curry.
Yes, Curry is one of those kids who shoots like the ball is so heavy. Hands came from the waist before pulling it up.
It is an easy block for the defender since he is also small.
If rookies will have the same problem then probably Dirk could make them change without risking the shooting percentage.
Basketball in perfection.
