Well, if everyone practiced their penmanship for 2 hours every night like I do, then more people would be willing to use the Queen’s favored longhand. Anyway, no sense in wasting paper. I’ll begin below.) Dear Mr. Aldridge, Let me be first to welcome you to the team that I am on too. When I first heard you will be joining the San Antonio Spurs, I walked reasonably fast to my bookshelf of hard cover basketball almanacs and looked up your name. I know that we have played each other many times but I treat all players on opposing teams as faceless gray shapes moving about, seemingly at random, and getting in my way while I attempt to put the basketball through the rim via hook shot or, failing that, another efficient method. After finding the pages dedicated to you in my almanac, I decided to have some fun and go through the box score of every game you played, add up all of the points from each game (1,661 points) and all of the rebounds from each game (726 rebounds) and divide each of those numbers by the number of games you played last season (71). The whole process took me 13 hours and 22 minutes and I didn’t look away from what I was doing one time except to sip on my glass of milk. Milk is good for you, so I drink it often. Those stats are good and they also mean you also averaged what the flashier members of the basketball community call a “double double,” but the first thing you’re going to learn as a San Antonio Spur is that we don’t use or understand any of the silly idioms a lot of other basketball people use. Here ’s a short chat sheet I keep to help me understand what those flashy talkers mean: - “From Way Downtown” – Shooting from an abnormally long distance – “Slam dunk” – Overaggressive layup – “Finger roll” – overaggressive hook shot – “Alley-oop” – Pass that accidentally went too high so the player had to receive it in mid air and didn’t have room to come down with it and take a hook shot so he just had to put it in the basket right then and there. “Posterize” – Impossible to tell what this meas. Proper response: ‘yes, that sure was.” Anyway Mark (can I call you Mark? The ‘La’ and ‘us’ and ‘c instead of k’ in your name seems suferfluous), I’m also writing to formally invite you to our annual season kick of next month. We hold one of these every year as a treat for the fans, to welcome new player, and give them a taste of what they are in store for as part of the San Antonio Spurs. No one is ever late or loud or rude and since everyone follows the rules, it’s always a good time. I have included the itinerary below, hope you can make it. 6 am – roll call/ general meet and greet. Coffee not allowed. Orange juice allowed but not provided. 7 am – toe touches 8 am – Hood shot drills 9 am – Bounce pass drills 10 am – Autograph session with fans (each player signs on Ruled 4”X6” Oxford Index Card for each fan in attendance) 11 am – More hook shot drills Noon – lunch (brown bag, no lunch provided) 1 pm – (low energy) Lecture on history of San Antonio 2 pm – (low speed) Give and go drills 3 pm – Water break and mandatory check that everyone’s shirts are tucked in 4 pm – 5 mile run 5 pm – No-look passing contest (this is a fan favorite. It’s structured like the All Star Game Overaggressive Layup Contest, but with passes) ***Judged by sports stars and celebrities including Jess Hornacek, Michele from Destiny’s Child, and Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials* 8:30 pm – lights out (after watching Modern Family) Sincerely, (couldn’t help myself, cursive is so fun!) Tim Duncan TD把superfluous写成suferfluous，不知道是错字还是故意的，不是我打错。 深绿色的字是他划掉的(删除线)。 希望没有甚麽错误，有兴趣的人可以尝试翻译。
