"I sat out because the team said I had to sit out, and I've never heard of that in my life. But I've been doing pretty well this year, pretty well. And the team's been doing well. I got a chance to make some good things happen here. I don't think I should be like an outcast." "不是我不想比賽，"十二月因為要求交易而被溜馬列入不啟用名單的阿泰這麼說: "我沒去打球是球隊要我這麼做，而我從沒聽過這種事。 但是今年我幹得不錯，相當不錯，而且球隊也很不錯，我有機會讓一些好事發生。 我不認為我應該像個被驅逐出來的傢伙。" Which, so far, is how he has felt since returning from last season's 73-game suspension. First it was the Olympic team non-selection, as Artest was not invited to this summer's tryouts in Las Vegas. Now it's the awards, of which Artest said he should be considered for more than Defensive Player of the Year. 以上，是自他從上季七十三場球監中歸來，到目前為止的心境。 首先是夢幻隊不挑選他--阿泰並未被邀請到拉斯維加斯參加夏季試訓。 然後現在是年度獎項--阿泰說他不應該僅僅被視為最佳防守球員。 Asked who should win the MVP, Artest said, "I'm always going to take myself." 當被問到誰應該贏得最有價值球員時， 阿泰說:"我都會選我自己。" Asked to exclude himself, it became apparent that - history aside - Artest is quite the Detroit Pistons fan. 那除了他自己以外呢? 拋開過去的恩怨， 阿泰不折不扣是個活塞迷。 "Chauncey Billups," he said. "Or maybe Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton, one of those guys." "槍蜥，" 他說: "或者溪蛙、斑蛙、RIP，他們其中一個。" -- 阿泰加油! --
