The title on his business card reads: Basketball Operations Executive
Assistant.
现在他名片上的头衔是篮球事务执行助理。
But to most Kings fans he's the personification of toughness, a reminder of
the Sacramento teams that were playoff contenders.
但对大部分的国王球迷来说他是强硬的化身,是国王光辉年代的仅存者。
These days, Bobby Jackson is using the same hustle and grit that made him the
NBA's Sixth Man of the Year as a King to learn the ropes in an NBA front
office.
这些日子Bobby用同样的拚劲和胆量在学习着制服组的事务。
Jackson, in his first season of retirement, is enjoying life as a basketball
operations executive assistant. He's learning about scouting, the salary cap
and all things that give general managers headaches.
在他退休的第一年,正在享受着当篮球事务执行助理。他在学当球探、薪资空间和所有会
让GM头疼的事。
But for tonight, the Kings will take the time to honor Jackson in the role in
which fans came to know him best.
但今晚,国王将要让Bobby重温旧梦。
The Kings will hold Bobby Jackson Night when they host the San Antonio Spurs
at Arco Arena. The first 10,000 fans will receive a Jackson poster. There
will be video tributes from his playing days and community work, along with
comments from former teammates.
今晚对马刺时将是Bobby日,前一千名球迷将会收到Bobby的海报。也会有收录他打球日子
和在社区工作以及前队友对他的话的影片。
Jackson spent six of his 12 NBA seasons in Sacramento, including when he won
the Sixth Man of the Year Award for the 2002-03 season.
Bobby在国王渡过他12年当中的6年,也包括他拿下年度最佳第六人的02-03球季。
Jackson was humbled by the honor.
Bobby非常谦卑。
"I would have never thought I'd have my own day in the NBA," he said Monday.
「我从未想过我会在NBA有自己的日子」
Since announcing his retirement last October, Jackson hasn't been sitting
around waiting to be recognized. He's immersed himself in scouting.
自从去年十月退休後,Bobby还没闲过,他正忙於侦查。
Jackson took at least two trips a month around the country to watch college
basketball games in preparation for this year's NBA draft.
Bobby一个月至少要跑两趟去看大学比赛,为了今年选秀准备。
And he's asking a lot of questions, trying to get a better understanding of
front-office decisions.
他问了很多的问题,试着对於制服组的决定有更好的理解。
"I'm trying to dabble in everything," Jackson said. "What I want to do is
hopefully one day become a GM or president of basketball operations or
assistant GM or director of player personnel.
「我正试着涉猎每件事情,我想做的就是有一天可以当GM或者篮球事务总裁或助理GM或球
员人事主管」Bobby说
"But I know one of those positions takes time, and you've got to learn the
business first."
「但我知道都很花时间,而你必须首先学习这些事务」
Jackson isn't the first player with front-office aspirations. But a lot of
players don't have the patience to put in the time to climb the ladder in
management.
Bobby不是第一个球员来干制服组的,但很多球员都没有耐心慢慢往上爬。
When the Kings are on the road and he's not watching the team practice, he's
watching video and picking the minds of Kings basketball president Geoff
Petrie, general manager Wayne Cooper and the rest of the staff.
当国王到客场时他不是在看球队练习,而是在看影片,然後学习Petrie、Cooper和其他人
的精华。
In his new career, Jackson's work habits haven't diminished.
在他新的生涯中,Bobby的工作习惯并没有消失。
"One thing that I always believe is that if a guy is a worker he's a worker,"
Cooper said. "Guys that work hard as players work hard off the court. That's
the same thing with Bobby. He only knows how to do it one way and that's what
you have to do."
「我认为如果某个人是工人,那他就会是工人。当球员时很认真,在场下也会很认真,
Bobby就是这样,他只知道一种方式去完成他,而那就是你必须去做的」Cooper说
Jackson said the hardest part of the job is understanding the salary cap. But
he doesn't hesitate to ask about cap ramifications of trades and how the
Kings might be able to make money on a deal.
Bobby说最难的工作就是去了解薪资空间(我了解,CBA真的很难懂啊...)。但他毫不犹豫地
去问关於交易复杂的东西和国王如何在一次交易中赚到钱。
"I'm a very inquisitive person," Jackson said. "I always want to know what's
going on around me. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing that? They take
my input. They may use it, they may not use it. But you can't be a yes-sir
guy."
「我是个很好奇的人,我总是想要知道周遭的事,为什麽我们要做这个?为什麽我们要做
那个?他们也许会用它,也许不会,但你不能当个只会说是的人」Bobby说
When Jackson retired he also took on the role of Kings ambassador.
当Bobby退休时,他也担任国王大使的角色。
He spends 45 minutes with fans and sponsors at home games. When Jackson isn't
traveling, he appears at community events.
他在主场比赛时花了45分钟和球迷与赞助商在一起。当Bobby没有外出,他就会在社区事
务出现。
Aside from being an eager learner in the scouting department, the Kings are
pleased that Jackson continues to work in the community.
除了在球探事务很热诚外,国王也很开心Bobby持续在社区中工作。
"I love doing those types of things and giving back," Jackson said. "But my
main focus is to learn the business side of basketball."
「我很爱做这类型的事,但我最主要的就是学习篮球事务」
Jackson looks the part of a Kings executive when he's at practice. He's not
in gym shorts waiting to give the team some competition. He admits he
"probably wouldn't last two minutes" trying to run the floor, and has taken
up boxing for exercise.
当他在练习时看起来像是国王制服组的一员,他不会穿上热身服跟球队练习,他承认他
也许撑不到两分钟。
Jackson sits on the sideline, much like Petrie or Cooper would, taking in the
play. Jackson likes the improvement he has seen in the Kings, but doesn't
have any desire to go on the court at all.
Bobby坐在旁边,就像Petrie或Cooper一样。Bobby喜欢他所看到的国王的进步,但完全不
想上场。
He's too busy taking what he knows about basketball and applying it to his
new career.
他太忙了。
"I have the knowledge," Jackson said. "What I don't have is what it takes to
put the whole product together. And that's something I'm willing to work on
and learn."
「我有知识,我所没有的是将所有东西融合在一起,那就是我现在愿意去努力和学习的」
==================================================
酷,希望以後可以看到Bobby总管,不过一下子没练就虚成这样 XDDDDDDD
