NBA: Erik Spoelstra and his million-dollar contract

The Florida team performed a trick so that the coach of the team did not have to spend a million dollar amount on his former partner.

A few days ago the million dollar contract renewal of Miami coach Erik Spoelstra was made official. The 53-year-old manager agreed to an eight-year extension with the Heat, going down in history as the largest ever paid by a franchise. The 120 million dollars will have an impact on the rest of the franchises in the future, but it is not only on everyone’s lips because of the amount, but also because of a transfer between the protagonists that prevented the coach from distributing his profits .

In November 2023, Erik announced that, by mutual agreement, he had signed a divorce from his ex-wife Nikki Sapp. The couple has been together for seven years, after meeting working at the Miami franchise. He is cheerleader of the Heat, while he was already performing coaching duties. The couple started dating in 2013 and during that time they had three children: Santiago, Dante and Ruby.

“We made the difficult but healthy decision to file together to formally end our marriage. We are both grateful for our relationship and remain fully committed to co-parenting our children and continuing to make them our mutual priority . We appreciate everyone’s support as we move into the next phase of our lives and thank you for respecting our family’s privacy.” This is the statement made by the stars of the world, when the separation was confirmed.

According to various media in the United States, the Miami franchise waited until the divorce process reached an agreement to sign the contract with Spoelstra, in this way, the money should not be divided between the parties. As soon as this information was made public, many social media users harassed the coach’s ex-wife, mocking the situation and the amount of money she would have saved if the divorce did not go through. The former entertainer made a significant statement on his social networks, calling out those unknown harassers. “According to rude, ignorant, ignorant society at large, women can’t ‘win’. Women can’t truly fall in love with a successful man. No, they’re pretending and they’re doing it for money. And if a woman decides not to be with a successful husband, looks like an idiot. Bullying and harassment is okay for CiTy Boys today. Let’s call you what you are: Bullies. Go talk about ‘it’ or me with your friends.”
