我们的老板离开了(续) source: http://0rz.tw/Y2kQA "Mr.D": http://0rz.tw/yiJZu "Mr.D离开了，我们都感到非常难过，" MC说。 "他是个很棒的老板同时他也非常真诚 的在乎球员、教练还有所有的职员。他会被大家记得的不只是一位好老板，同时也是一 个改变许多人一生的人。我们给予Mrs.D以及他们一家人关心并为他们祷告。" 虽然他拥有许多的职业球队，但，活塞队似乎总是在他的心里有个不可取代的位置。 "我要告诉你们，我爱活塞队，直到我生命逝去的那一天，我都会与他们同在。" Davidson於05年一次访谈中真情流露。 Davidson，出生於底特律，於密西根大学取得商业管理的学士学位，也在韦恩州立大学 取得法律士的学位。 他从事了三年的律师工作，不过最终还是决定放弃，反而接管了一家药物批发公司。在 三年之内，他让这家公司咸鱼翻身；在此之後，又再一次的让一家外科器材公司成功。 最後，他接手了家族事业Guardian Glass Company，其随後成为Guardian Industries Corp.，世界上最大的汽车玻璃制造商之一。 (注: http://www.guardian.com/en/index1.html -->我另外找的公司网站) 在Davidson一笔3000万美元的捐献之後，密西根大学商学院创立"William Davidson"协会 ，总计Davidson捐献给他的母校密西根大学之金额超过了美金5500万元。 Davidson家里遗留的家人有他的妻子Karen，以及两个子女，Ethan、Marla。 -- 一些人说的话，有兴趣再看看吧。 source:http://0rz.tw/Wngi4 "It was hard. We won the game (at Toronto on Friday) and we heard the news (of Davidson's death) ... the game of basketball didn't mean anything then." ‧ Pistons guard Richard Hamilton "He ran all his organizations top notch. He lived by example, and put people in position to do their jobs and he allowed them to do it. That's one of the greatest things you can have as a leader, and he possessed that." ‧ Pistons coach Michael Curry "He did it the right way. He wasn't an owner that was looking for the fanfare. He wasn't an owner that was about making a spectacle of anything. You knew as a player here, you were playing for probably the classiest owner in the NBA. As a player, you feel good about that. There's a certain level of pride in playing for someone who carries themselves in such a classy way. That, as a player stood out to you more than anything else." ‧ Joe Dumars, president of basketball operations for the Pistons and a former Pistons player "Over the last 35 years, Bill Davidson's impact on the sports world and the NBA in particular has truly been legendary. From his seven championships in three different leagues (NBA, WNBA and NHL) during his Hall of Fame career to his incredible business successes to his extraordinary community service, Bill set a standard for ownership in sports that will be difficult for anyone to match. The NBA family has lost an innovative thinker, a visionary businessman and most importantly, a trusted friend. Bill's influence on our league will never be forgotten." ‧ NBA Commissioner David Stern --
