Spurs’ Tony Parker hopes to become general manager after retirement Tony Parker说他退休之後想当总管 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016/06/01 http://imgur.com/UH1OSgm Tony Parker became the majority stakeholder of French basketball club ASVEL Basket in 2014. 在2014年，Tony Parker成为了法国ASVEL Basket的最大股东。 It was a move that could have been made as nothing more than a prestige purchase, but Parker has approached his commitment almost as a tutorial, one to prepare him for the second stage of his life. 原本以为这件事只是一般的投资而已，但Parker坦承这更像是tutorial，用来为 他的人生的第二春做准备。 When not running plays for the Spurs on the court, the future Hall of Fame point guard is running ASVEL as president, overseeing day-to-day operations and making managerial decisions for the team he once played for as a minority owner during the 2011 NBA lockout. 在他没在场上打球的时间，这位未来名人堂级的後卫以老板的身分在经营ASVEL： 为他在2011 NBA封馆期间曾担任小股东的队伍，检视他们的日常事项、做出管理决策。 “The best thing was to be in the office every day during the lockout and see the everyday operations,” Parker told The Undefeated. Parker告诉The Undefeated: "最棒的事情，是在封馆期间里待在办公室并且审视每天的运作事项。" 注:The Undefeated是一家运动媒体。 Parker, who was born in Belgium to an American father and Dutch mother, acquired French nationality as a teenager and has played for the senior national team since 2001. Parker出生在比利时，父亲是美国人而母亲是荷兰人。在青少年时取得法国国籍并 且直到2001年都效力於法国青年国家队。 His foray into French professional basketball ownership is not an endgame; it is, he hopes, a precursor of what’s to come. 他的目标不只是取得一间法国篮球俱乐部的所有权；他希望，这只是一个开端。 “I looked at everything,” Parker said. “How to manage a team, marketing, ticket sales, sponsors. It was a great learning experience for me. It’s getting me ready to work in an NBA front office.” Parker说： "我专注的层面很广，包含如何管理一支球队、市场行销、门票销售、赞助商等等。 这些是很棒的学习经验，为我之後去NBA制服组工作做好准备。" Parker has been outspoken about his desire to retire after his 20th NBA season, which would see him exit the game at the age of 38. Parker曾经提到他希望在NBA打满20年後再退休，当时他已经是38岁了。 Old for a point guard, but still young for an aspiring NBA executive. Parker has been building his experience and knowledge base in the hopes that he can make a swift transition from running teams to building them. 这年纪作为控球後卫来说有点老了，但如果是作为NBA制服组的话就还很年轻。 Parker现阶段仍然在累积这些经验和知识，期望未来能从Running teams转换成 building teams。 Those he employs describe Parker as eager and perhaps even overzealous in his activity with the team despite the fact that AVSEL’s season coincides with the Spurs’. 尽管AVSEL的赛季跟马刺是有重叠到的，他底下的员工描述Parker对这支球队非常热心 ，甚至到有点狂热的地步了。 "He was on the board but day after day his involvement increased,” ASVEL general manager Nordine Ghrib told fibaeurope.com. “Tony Parker must be the boss. He cannot just be in a small position. It is impossible for him.” ASVEL的总管Nordine Ghrib告诉fibaeurope.com： "他上任之後，随着时间他的参与度不断地增加。Tony Parker有老板的天性，他不愿 让自己只扮演一个小角色，这对他来说是不可能的。" (这句翻得不是很好，跪求大大帮忙...) Like any good general manager, Parker doesn’t fear a challenge, whether it be rebuilding a franchise or grooming raw prospects or tinkering with cap space to pursue free agents. 跟好的GM一样，Parker从不害怕挑战，不论是找新的明星球员、发掘潜力新秀、或是 腾出薪资空间来签下自由球员。 "It was Tony Parker who enticed me to come here," ASVEL center David Anderson told fibaeurope.com. "As a project he wanted to rebuild the ASVEL team. They had won so many championships and were such a renowned club and he wanted to build it back up.” ASVEL的中锋David Anderson告诉fibaeurope.com： "是Tony Parker说服我到这边打球的。当时他想要重建这支球队。过去他们赢了非常 多冠军而且曾经是一支有名的球队，而他想要重新打造这支队伍。" Parker hasn’t had to look far to find help and guidance for his ambitions. In fact, he couldn’t have stumbled into a better apprenticeship if he tried. Parker不需要花太多功夫去寻求帮忙和指导来完成他的野心。事实上，他向人请教时 是没什麽困难的。 “(Spurs general manager R.C. Bufrod’s) door is always open,” Parker told The Undefeated. “He knows that being a GM is what I want to do. The Spurs have always been very helpful. They help me with any questions that I have. Parker告诉The Undefeated： "(马刺总管R.C. Bufrod)的门永远为我而开，他很清楚我想成为一个好的总管。马刺 总是帮了我不少忙，他们解决了我所有的疑问。" “I will keep the team in France and hopefully I can be in the front office. It’s giving me great experience because I feel like I’m learning so much. I still want to play for five more years. But it’s great to learn.” "我会继续保有这支法国的球队，并且希望有一天我能加入制服组。这些是很棒的经验 ，因为我学到了很多东西。我还想再多打至少五年的球， 但学习这些东西真的很有趣。" 原始文章：http://goo.gl/agBydV 心得：虽然Parker要退休的话也还要一段时间，但看他这麽有心也是满好的:) --
