37岁，5.11亿！哈登续约骑士创NBA历史，詹杜库后第一人_我的网站

A |     Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the face most associated with American professional wrestling and who was until recently the CEO and Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), agreed to pay more than $12 million over 16 years to four different women who worked for or were contracted by WWE in an attempt to quiet allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity.,That number includes the $3 million McMahon is said to have paid a former paralegal in late 2021 following a sexual relationship between the two. That incident led the WWE Board of Directors to investigate McMahon, who then stepped aside from his position as CEO and Chairman of the Board while his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, took over as interim CEO. That investigation was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal on June 17.,These new allegations, also revealed by the Wall Street Journal, include a former wrestler who alleged that Vince McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex. After she refused further advances, she alleged that she was put in a less prominent position on the show and WWE then declined to renew her contract when it came up in 2005. In 2018, the wrestler and her lawyer approached McMahon and reached a $7.5 million settlement in exchange for her silence.,In the mid-2000s, McMahon was, as he is now, the head of creative in WWE and had the final say on how much TV and in-ring time wrestlers would receive. He would have also decided when she won or lost matches, essentially being in control of her career trajectory.,In another case, a WWE contractor had nude photos of McMahon that she alleged were sent unsolicited to her by the billionaire wrestling promoter. She also alleged, per people familiar with the situation, that he sexually harassed her on the job. According to the Journal, McMahon paid her $1 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement.,There is also a 2006 non-disclosure agreement with a $1 million payout to a former manager. She worked at the company for over a decade before McMahon initiated a sexual relationship, according to people familiar with the deal who spoke to the Journal.,It was previously reported that the WWE Board of Directors was investigating the case with the paralegal. Now, the Journal reports the case with the former wrestler is also being investigated by the board, along with allegations that former head of talent relations John Laurinaitis had a sexual relationship with the same paralegal McMahon did. It is not known if the other NDAs are being investigated.,The board is also reportedly investigating a 2012 $1.5 million nondisclosure agreement with Laurinaitis and an employee with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship. The employee alleged she was demoted after ending the relationship.,Laurinaitis was the WWE head of talent relations until he was forced to step down in 2012, around the same time the 2012 NDA was made with the former employee. Laurinaitis was reinstated to that role in 2021 but was placed on administrative leave after the paralegal investigation came to light.,The initial report cited an anonymous email sent to the WWE board of directors that revealed the NDA between McMahon and the paralegal. It also alleged that McMahon asked the board to give her a raise after they began a sexual relationship. Later, she was transferred from the legal department to a role in talent relations under Laurinaitis, who she also allegedly had a sexual relationship with. The email claimed that McMahon gave the paralegal to Laurinaitis “like a toy.”,In a press release after the investigation first became public knowledge, McMahon said that he would “do everything possible to support” the investigation and stressed that no money from WWE went to pay for the NDA.,While the allegations are undoubtedly a bombshell, it may be difficult for the board of directors to remove McMahon if he does not step down voluntarily. Vince McMahon owns the vast majority of Class A shares, with the remaining Class A shares belonging to his family members or trusts in his family members’ names. Class A shares have ten times the voting power of the Class B shares given to investors not related to the McMahon family, so the vast majority of the voting power rests with McMahon himself.,The billionaire wrestling promoter has remained defiant in the face of the allegations. While he stepped down from his CEO and Chairman of the Board roles “temporarily,” he has remained in control of WWE’s creative direction. Additionally, just hours after the first Wall Street Journal report came out, WWE announced that McMahon would be appearing on that night’s Smackdown on Fox. He did not address the investigation and instead welcomed the crowd to the show. Critics and even some of WWE’s talent called it a brazen attempt to boost ratings off of the news of the scandal. Smackdown’s ratings for that episode jumped 19.6% from the week before.,Fightful Select has reported that talent backstage at that show heard McMahon say “F*** ‘em” after his appearance, apparently in defiance of the allegations.,This is not the first time McMahon has faced sexual misconduct allegations. In 2006, a tanning salon employee told police that McMahon groped her, showed her nude images of himself, and tried to kiss her unsolicited. Police declined to press charges at the time, citing a lack of independent evidence.,While WWE has not yet publicly responded to the latest Wall Street Journal report, PWInsider has obtained a copy of an internal memo sent to employees of WWE.,“The Wall Street Journal has published a second story with expanded details on its initial WWE report last month. We want to reiterate that we and our Board of Directors take these allegations seriously.,We’ve been cooperating fully with the investigation led by our Board of Directors and will continue to do so until its conclusion. Please note that upon its conclusion, WWE leadership will make itself available to answer any questions you may have.,Thank you.”。

B |     当大多数球员在37岁高龄拿着底薪扮演更衣室领袖时，詹姆斯·哈登却在这个年纪签下了一份3年9700万美元的全额保障合同。         北京时间8月21日，据ESPN名记Shams Charania报道，哈登已与克利夫兰骑士达成续约协议。

C |          这份合同包含2028-29赛季球员选项和15%的交易保证金——全额保障、球员选项、交易保证金，三个关键词足以说明骑士对这位老将的绝对信任。

D |          更令人震撼的是另一组数据：签下这份合同后，哈登的生涯总薪资将达到5.11亿美元，成为NBA历史上第四位突破5亿美元大关的球员。

E |          前三位分别是勒布朗·詹姆斯、凯文·杜兰特和斯蒂芬·库里。         5.11亿是什么概念？这意味着哈登正式踏入NBA最顶级的“5亿美元俱乐部”，与这个时代最伟大的三位球星比肩而立。

F |          然而这个故事最动人的部分，恰恰藏在这组冰冷的数字背后。         今年6月，哈登拒绝执行价值约4230万美元的球员选项，成为自由球员。这不是一时冲动——他主动做出薪资让步，为骑士腾出薪资空间完成后续引援。

G |          整个休赛期，哈登一直处于未签约状态，耐心等待骑士补强。         据消息人士透露，哈登对佩顿·沃特森发挥了重要的招募作用，一直与后者保持积极沟通并推动其加盟。         今年2月交易截止日前，骑士通过交易从快船得到哈登。质疑声铺天盖地——“34岁的老将还能做什么？”          哈登用表现回应了一切：加盟后骑士取得21胜9负的战绩，全明星赛后场均贡献20.5分7.7助攻4.8篮板。在他的助力下，克利夫兰自2018年以来首次打进东部决赛。

H |          从被快船放弃，到成为骑士复兴的基石——哈登只用了半个赛季。         哈登将在下周三（8月26日）迎来37岁生日，这份合同堪称一份提前到来的生日大礼。

I |          而当他正式签下合同时，他将成为NBA历史上第二位在37岁或以上年龄签下超过9000万美元全额保障合同的球员——另一位，正是勒布朗·詹姆斯。

J |          这意味着什么？这意味着在NBA历史上，只有詹姆斯和哈登这两位球员，在37岁的“高龄”依然能让球队毫不犹豫地奉上近亿美元的长期承诺。         进入生涯第18个赛季的哈登，将至少征战至个人第20个赛季。         骑士新赛季预计排出哈登、米切尔、沃特森、莫布利和阿伦的首发阵容——一套足以冲击总冠军的班底。         从俄克拉荷马的超级第六人，到休斯顿的MVP，再到布鲁克林、费城、洛杉矶的颠沛流离，最终在克利夫兰找到归宿。         5.11亿美元，是市场对他的认可。但比金钱更珍贵的，是37岁依然被信任、被需要。当同龄人逐渐淡出舞台，他仍在为总冠军而战。         五天后，哈登将迎来37岁生日。

K |          这份9700万的合同，是克利夫兰送给他的生日礼物；而他回馈给这座城市的，是一个老将最后、也最炽热的冠军之心。         老兵不死，只是渐凋零。但哈登说——我还远未到凋零的时候。
