標題[閒聊] "The Truth" 的由來
時間Tue Dec 11 22:13:05 2007
Paul Pierce眾所皆知的外號"The Truth", 其實來自於當年Lakers當家中峰Shaq.
在2001三月的某場季賽, Shaq帶領的Lakers從Celtics手上摘下另外一勝. 對Shaq來說
這只是在他們傑出的成績上面上面增添一筆, 錦上添花罷了.在賽後的訪問中,
Shaq將一名記者拉到旁邊, 並且似乎有新爆料般, 意有所示地指指記者的筆記本.
"把我要說的東西寫下來," Shaq這樣說. "My name is Shaqille O'neal and
Paul Pierce is the truth, 不要拿走任何一個字, 把我這句話完完整整的報出來.
我知道他很會打籃球, 但是我不知到他竟然是這麼會打. Paul Pierce is the Truth."
從那天開始, Pierce 有了一個全世界通用的外號 - The truth.
Pierce got his nickname, "The Truth," from Shaquille O'Neal. After a
Lakers' victory over Boston in March of 2001, O'Neal pulled a Boston reporter
over and gestured toward his notepad.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul
Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out.
I
knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is
the truth." And from that time on, Pierce has been called The Truth.

註: 我覺得The Truth真的取得很好, 歐肥不虧是最佳話題製造者.
一方面是說Pierce is a real deal, is known for his toughness.
他就算得不到分也可以去罰球線得分, 真金不怕火煉的感覺.
另外一方面, Pierce的表現都再再的顯示出他率直, 真男人的個性
像是之前因為口角被捅, 或是場上和別人都肢體衝突,
其實很多黑人(或是有類似生長背景的人)都是很佩服的,
帶有點衝動, 率直, 情緒化, a very straight(true) personality.
