Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I dug up some info on Doug McDermott’s career earnings. It wasn’t rocket science, but hey, gotta share the breadcrumbs, right?
First off, I started with the obvious: Google. Just punched in “Doug McDermott career earnings” and hit enter. Saw a bunch of sports sites pop up – ESPN, Bleacher Report, some of those salary tracking sites.
Next, I clicked around a bit. ESPN was decent for a quick overview, but the salary tracking sites like Spotrac and Basketball-Reference were way more detailed. These are the ones that really break it down year by year.
I focused on Spotrac because it seemed to have the most up-to-date and organized data. They usually have a table showing each season, the team he played for, and his salary for that year. Pretty straightforward stuff.
Then comes the fun part: adding it all up! I grabbed the numbers from each season, fired up a spreadsheet (yeah, old school), and just summed up the yearly earnings. This gives you a rough estimate of his total career earnings before taxes and agent fees, of course.
Important Note: These numbers are just estimates based on reported contracts. They don’t include endorsement deals, sponsorships, or any other side hustles Doug might have going on. So, the real number could be higher.
- Checked multiple sources to cross-reference the data.
- Made sure to account for any contract extensions or changes during his career.
- Kept in mind that these are pre-tax earnings.
Finally, once I had a number I was comfortable with, I did one last Google search to see if any news outlets had reported on his total earnings. This is just to double-check my work and see if I’m in the ballpark.
And that’s pretty much it! Nothing fancy, just a bit of online sleuthing and some basic math. Hope this helps if you’re ever curious about a player’s career earnings. Later!
