The All-Star Weekend concluded successfully.
Bobby Marks from ESPN was quick to reveal the details of the labor negotiations and answered fans' questions about the differences between the new and old labor agreements under the title "Where Exactly Did Players Win?"
First and foremost is the most important section related to basketball income, specifically the distribution ratio of BRI (Basketball Related Income).
Although under the previous labor agreement, players had a 57% share of BRI, before the Dallas incident, Marks mentioned that the players' union, led by Fisher, was even prepared to concede this ratio down to 52%.①
However...
In Dallas, Qin Yue not only argued strongly to ultimately secure a 54% BRI share for the players, but also established a welfare pool for retired and mid-to-lower-tier players with an additional 1% from the owners' BRI income under the revised labor agreement.
Regarding this, Qin Yue reasoned, "Did these players not sweat and bleed for you?"
