Ray’s understanding of what it takes to achieve greatness as a big man comes from his own experiences manning the middle as a 6-foot-9 starting center. Lacking a consistent outside jump shot, he relied on guile and hustle to beat his opponent on a nightly basis. Ray知道如何指导长人来自於他自身以6-9的身材硬扛中锋 由於缺乏稳定的跳投，他靠他诡谲的手段与做脏活去战胜 每晚的对手 I was a great athlete – I ran a 10-flat 100 (meter sprint) – but I didn’ t have great shooting skills,” says the Union, S.C. native. “But what I could do, I dominated at it. I was a tenacious defender, a great rebounder, a great team-player and a great pick-setter – I’d get Rick Barry open any time he needed someone to get him open.” Ray说:『我是个体能咖，百米冲刺10秒能跑到。但我不会投篮 但我能做的，就是做好顽强的防守，抓好每一个板 做好一个团队球员的本职为队友挡人。 当Rick Barry有需要人做单档时，我就在这。』 Placing a premium on boxing out and cleaning the glass, of the 213 players in NBA history to record at least 5,000 points and 5,000 rebounds, Ray is one of only 18 to average more boards (8.9) than points (7.4) over the course of his career. 帮外线挡一个。卡位。补篮 在所有213位达成5000分与5000篮板的球员中。 Ray 是唯一抓的篮板(8.9) 比得分(7.4) 多的球员。 “My mentality was single-minded – I was like a Dennis Rodman,” he says with a chuckle. “In this era, I probably would’ve been a star, because a guy like Dwight Howard – he’s a good basketball player, but he doesn’t have the skill of a DeMarcus Cousins or a Tim Duncan but because he can jump, has great timing and likes to play defense – he’s become an All-Star.” Ray笑说:『我心理上是那种专注一心的人，像Dennis Rodman 　　　　　在这个年代我可能可以成为明星。 　　　　　像ＤＨ，他是个好球员。但他没有表弟或ＴＤ那样 　　　　　的技巧。 　　　　　但他有体能、愿意防守。有防守天份。这足以让他 　　　　　成为全明星。』 　　　　 At the onset of his playing career, Ray spent three seasons with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 8.3 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, twice leading the League in total rebound percentage. 在他的球员身涯里。Ray 三个球季在公牛打球。平均得到 8.3分与11.2个板子。两度拿下篮板王。 “He was an old-school type of defensive center,” says fellow Kings Assistant Coach Alex English, one of the League’s all-time leading scorers. “(He was) more of a post-up, around-the-rim, in the paint shot-blocker and rebounder.” 国王另一位助教 Alex English，同时也是联盟过去最伟大的得分手之一 说 『Ray是那种学院派的中锋锁，他喜欢往篮下谋生。盖火锅抢篮板球。』 The 1971-72 NBA All-Rookie First Team selection was later traded to Golden State and helped lead the Warriors to a title in 1974-75, tallying 6.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in 17 Playoff contests. 1971-72年。入选新人第一队的Ray中选後交易至金州勇士队 然後帮助勇士拿到1974-75年的冠军 在17场的季後赛里 他成绩为6.1分，9..8个篮板，2.2个助攻，1.2个阻攻。 “Any time you go to the pinnacle of a sport, any time you win a championship, you just know that unit and that group of men were together and a family,” says Ray. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible.” Ray说:『任何时间你赢得了总冠军。你很清楚知道这支队伍必定是团结的跟 家人一样。除此之外，不可能赢得冠军。』 -- 『把汤分成两半并不是奇蹟，那是魔术。 一个单亲妈妈，打工兼差，还能找出时间来陪孩子练球，那才是奇蹟。 一个青少年可以拒绝毒品，并接受教育，那才是奇蹟。』 摘自电影《王牌天神》 --
