相信有在看外電的大家也都知道了，他請假是為了去探望以前 他在Butler大學執教時的麾下中鋒Andrew Smith，後者正在對 抗血癌。 http://is.gd/dCT63f Brad Stevens has always preached family first, and he backed up those words with action Thursday when he's skipped the Boston Celtics' game against the Bulls to visit a former Butler player of his... former Bulldog Andrew Smith, a member of the 2010 and 2011 Final Four teams under Stevens who is in a deep fight against cancer. Despite all the pressures and demands of being an NBA head coach, Stevens has always preached to the Celtics that there are things in life more important than basketball. "He makes it very clear to our players on a day-to-day basis that family is the most important," Larranaga said. "The things they're able to do away from the court ... are so much more important than what happens on the court." 其實Andrew Smith在2014年診斷出有淋巴癌，治療後轉變成血 癌。Brad會這麼突然趕去探望他，情況可能是不太樂觀。 Andrew的太太在昨天發出以下訊息 http://is.gd/nx3Gcl Please pray. Pray so very hard. We need a miracle & Andrew asked me to have you all rally with us in prayer in this moment. 人生當中有許多事情比籃球重要，Brad不只做了身為(前)教練 該做的，也做了身為人該做的。 good guy Brad! get well soon,Andrew Smith. --
