Shavlik Randolph #42 Sixers
Not every player has a special reason for picking the jersey number that he
wears on the court each and every night, but Sixers rookie forward Shavlik
Randolph based his decision on that which matters to him the most...family.
不是每个球员挑选背号都有特别的理由,而七六人的新秀 Shavlik Randolph 基於对他来
说最重要的家庭。
“I wanted to wear half of my grandfather’s number, which was 84. He wore No.
84 for NC State in the mid-50s. I never met him because he died a couple of
months before I was born. My parents named me Shavlik to keep his memory alive
in the family.”
「我想穿我祖父的84号除於二的号码。他在50年代中期穿着84号为 NC State 打球。我
出生前两个月他就过世了,所以我从来没见过他。我的父母为我取名 Shavlik 纪念他。」
Randolph's grandfather, Ronnie Shavlik, was an All-America basketball player at
North Carolina State and was a first round draft pick by the New York Knicks in
the 1956 NBA Draft. Randolph was raised in a very family centered environment
in North Carolina and being able to wear the No. 42 has become very important
to him.
Randolph 的祖父-Ronnie Shavlik 大学时是全美最佳篮球员,1956年第一轮被尼克队挑
走。Randolph 生长在一个以家庭为中心的环境,所以可以穿42号对他来说是相当重要的
事。
When asked what it would take to pry the number away from him he responded, “It
’s like those commercials that are like, ‘Tickets to a certain game, 80
bucks; a jersey, 100 bucks; but watching your first NBA game is priceless.’ It
’s one of those things that's important to me, that’s my number," meaning
that you can't put a price on it.
当被问到这个号码的价值是?他回说:「比如像是一场比赛要80元,一件球衣要100元,
但是看一个人的第一场比赛却是无价的。这是我所在乎的事情之一,这是我的背号。」意
思就是这是无价的。
Randolph had no problem rattling off other No. 42's when asked, and to nobody's
surprise, named two players from Duke and two players from UNC.
我们问他知不知道其它也穿过42号的球员,他不急不徐地说了一些,毫无意外地,说到了
两个 Duke 和二个 UNC 出身的球员。
“Oh yeah," said Randolph with a laugh. "James Worthy and Jerry Stackhouse
(from UNC), Elton Brand and Reggie Love from Duke.”
「对!」Randolph 笑着说。「UNC 的 James Worthy 和 Jerry Stackhouse 以及 Duke
的 Elton Brand 和 Reggie Love 也穿42号。」
Linton Johnson #43 Hornets
Since entering the NBA in 2003, Linton Johnson has been retracing his uncle's
footsteps - in more ways than one.
从2003年加入 NBA 後,Linton Johnson 一直走着他叔叔以前走过的路。
Like his uncle, Mickey Johnson - a former NBA forward who played in the league
from 1974-86 - Linton's professional debut came as a member of the Chicago
Bulls. Like Mickey, Linton wore uniform number 8 for the Bulls.
他的叔叔是前 NBA 前锋 Mickey Johnson,职业生涯自1974到86年。就像他的叔叔一样,
Linton 初登场也是公牛的一员。而且也穿着公牛8号。
And it doesn't stop there. After Mickey left the Chicago Bulls in 1979, he went
on to play for Golden State, Milwaukee and New Jersey, wearing jersey number 43
at all three stops. Linton's current number with the Hornets? You guessed it:
43.
还不只这样,1979年 Mickey 离开公牛,历经了 Golden State,Milwaukee 和 New-
Jersey,这三站他都穿43号。黄蜂的 Linton 穿几号呢?你一定会猜43号。
"My uncle has always helped me in my basketball career," said Linton, who was
only 6 years old when Mickey retired from the NBA. "As far as my number goes,
I've kind of followed after him.
「在我的篮球生涯,我的叔叔给了我很多帮助,」Linton 说。Mickey 自 NBA 退休时,
Linton 只有六岁。「我会一直跟随着他的脚步走。」
"I always wanted to watch some old tapes of him playing. I finally saw a couple
highlights of him when I went to the NBA (Entertainment) offices in New Jersey
a couple years ago. That was the first time I saw him play. He was one of the
league's first point forwards."
「我一直想要看一些他打球的影片。两年前在篮网时,我在办公室找到了两部他的剪辑。
那是我第一次看见他打球。他是联盟里第一流的前锋之一。」
