The salaries promised to footballers who sign in Saudi Arabia are the envy. Obviously even to the NBA. Cameroonian player of the Toronto Raptors Pascal Siakam, made a joke to a passerby in the street who asked him if he was a basketball player. The 2019 NBA champion replied that he was not a basketball player but a footballer.
The 2m03 player posed as a player from the Al Hilal club who offered PSG striker Kylian Mbappé a contract for 300 million euros for one season. NBA all star Siakam said he wanted to win as much as Mbappé. “I’m trying to earn as much as they offered Mbappé. I think I’ll get there!”
The Raptors’ final season ended in the play-in with a loss to the Chicago Bulls at home. Siakam posted him stats at more than 24 points on average, almost 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
