It was my freshman year and we (Dupree went to LSU) were playing Arkansas ( Feb. 19, 2000 at Arkansas). It was a really big game and we had a really good team, like Stromile Swift, Jabari Smith. It was down to the final minutes, and we had this play where they would lob it to me and I would dunk. We tried it and it just missed. 答：當時我是大一新鮮人而我們(Dupree就讀於路易斯安那州大)正和阿肯色大學交手( 時值'00年2月19日)。那真的是一場大比賽而我們的球隊也真的相當優秀，擁有S.Swift、 J.Smith等球員。比賽進行到了最後幾分鐘，而我們設定了一個戰術，他們會將球高吊給我 而我會灌籃，但我們嘗試後但卻錯失了機會。 We had a timeout, and I told everybody we should run that play again -- I knew it would work. We did run the play again, and I just went up and jammed it with one hand. It felt so good. It was like the biggest dunk of my life, being under that pressure, in that big of a game. It gave me so much confidence. (LSU won 78-67.) 之後我們喊了一個暫停，而我告訴每個人我們應該再跑一次那個戰術 -- 我知道它會 奏效的。我們的確再跑了一次戰術，接著我高高跳起並用一隻手狠狠地將球塞進籃框。那 感覺真好，那就像是我一生中最重要的一次灌籃，在這麼大的壓力之下，在這樣一場大場 面的比賽中。那給了我非常非常多的自信。(最終路州大以78比67贏球) Q. There are a lot of good young dunkers on this team -- Amir Johnson, you, Jason Maxiell. 問：活塞陣中有許多年輕的灌籃好手，包括A.Johnson、你和J.Maxiell等人。 A. Don't leave out Will Blalock. That guy can dunk. You should see the stuff he throws down in practice. Between the legs, then dunks, stuff like that. 答：別忘了W.Blalock，那傢伙也能灌籃。你應該看看他在訓練時有多威，他會將球繞 過跨下之後再灌籃之類的美技。 Q. You allow point guards to dunk in practice? 問：你們在練習時會讓控衛灌籃？ A. (Laughs). We make an exception for Will. 答(一面笑著)：是我們破例讓Blalock這麼做的。 Q. Do you have any artistic ability? 問：你有任何藝術方面的專長嗎？ A. Yeah, actually I do. I used to draw all the time when I was a kid. I'm probably really rusty now, because I haven't done that in a long time. 答：是的，事實上我有。我小時候總是在畫圖，不過現在可能荒廢了，因為我有很長 一段時間沒畫圖囉。 Q. Why not? 問：為什麼不繼續畫呢？ A. I don't know. Just been too busy I guess. But I'm still really interested in architecture, art, that kind of stuff. 答：我也不知道，或許只是因為太忙了吧，我猜。但我仍然對建築、藝術方面的東西 相當感興趣。 Q. Do you like to check out buildings and design when you're visiting other cities, such as Chicago or New York? 問：當你到其他城市，例如芝加哥或紐約，你喜歡仔細觀察建築物及其設計方式嗎？ A. Definitely. I don't go out of my way to do it or anything, but when you're in an old city like Chicago that has so many amazing buildings, you can't help but look out the window and check them out. I do notice those things. 答：那是當然的囉。我沒有從事這一類的工作，但當你到了一個像芝加哥這樣擁有許 多驚人的建築物的老城市，你會不由自主地由窗戶往外望，並細細欣賞他們，我確實很注 意這一類的事物。 Q. Favorite cartoon? 問：最喜歡的卡通是？ A. I was really big into X-Men in grade school. They were huge. But you can't go wrong with the classics like Looney Tunes. They're always good. 答：上大學前我真的非常地迷X-Men，他們很帥氣。但別誤會了，我不是說我不喜歡那 些像Looney Tunes家族的卡通，他們也很棒。 (譯註：Looney Tunes家族其實大家都認識，圖片請見http://0rz.tw/082iq) --
