At present, the largest global market should be said that professional sports is basketball. If the European professional football is the most insane sports, then professional basketball is the most enthusiastic in North America project.  According to "Sports Illustrated" the statistics, the nation's top 50 fastest athletes to make money, there are 25, born in basketball; rather than the United States to make money the top 20 fastest players in football players accounted for 9 place, the highest proportion. Economics from the perspective of sports, basketball and football has a equal situation. Performance in the stock market is also very interesting that Nike and Adidas, Nike, Adidas competition.  Adidas (Adidas AG) market in Frankfurt, Germany, worth about 92 billion yuan in the World Cup and European Cup football jersey can frequently see the shadow of Adidas. In addition to its main advantages of football, the company since the age of 20 since the last century has been of great importance to the development of the swimsuit in the swimming has been an advantage. However, to the last century 80's, performance has not been Reebok (Reebok) Nike (Nike), enabled the history of the greatest professional basketball player Michael Jordan (Michael Jordan) as a product spokesperson, in the field of basketball great victory, not only dominate the North American market beyond the Reebok, Adidas also defeated the movement in one fell swoop as the world's largest enterprise economy.  Since 1986, Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls, the original results have been poor Bulls new hope began to emerge, even when Celtic was the strongest, in the face of the strongest players when Bird Big Bird , as a rookie Jordan still scored 56 points, single market. Although the Celtics still won the championship that year, but the image of Jordan trapeze from the people, he feet of the "Flying Shoes" Nike's performance also fly up. Nike is the market value of more than 220 billion yuan, compared to the lowest in 1984, not the annual cash dividend, up 167 times, one of the most important reason for this is that Michael Jordan shoes from the first generation of the world, "limited" issue began, the former before and after the sell-generation 200-300.  As the representative of soccer star David Beckham and basketball star Michael Jordan compared to the representative, who is more money, it is very difficult to count. Jordan in 1992 but 36 million U.S. dollars annual revenue record of observation, taking into account the current market value of Adidas and Nike, as well as in recent years the gap between the rate of depreciation of the dollar, I think playing basketball is more profitable than playing football.
