以下正文:
Last March, J. J. Redick, a guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, confessed some
of the worst financial mistakes he had made as a professional athlete. Shortly
after being drafted by the Magic, in 2006, for instance, Redick purchased a
house in Orlando, which he eventually sold at a loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Later, he splurged on a Porsche, which caused him back problems, before
selling it two months later. And, at a charity auction, he bought a custom
yellow golf cart with chrome rims, which didn’t have space to hold golf clubs
(He got rid of that, too.) “I think youth may have something to do with these
bad decisions,” he said. “God, I was stupid.”
去年三月的时候，快艇后卫J.J. Redick(以下简称JJ)，
承认了一些他作为职业运动选手曾经犯下的财务上的错误。
在被魔术选走的不久之后，举例来说，JJ马上就在奥兰多买了栋房子，
而这栋房子他最后脱手时赔了10几万。
而后，他撒大钱买了台保时捷，
在卖掉这台车的两个月以前，它还让JJ的背部有些问题。
此外，在一场慈善拍卖会上，
他买了一台黄色的高尔夫球车，但这球车没地方放球杆。(当然JJ后来卖掉了这台车)
“我认为这些糟糕的决定可能跟当时太年轻有关”，JJ表示，
“天啊，我那时候超蠢的”
Redick, who is now thirty-two, revealed these bad decisions on a podcast—his
own. “The Vertical Podcast with JJ Redick” grew out of a conversation that
Redick had in 2015 with the sportswriter Adrian Wojnarowski, who was launching
a new basketball publication for Yahoo. Wojnarowski asked Redick if he was
interested in writing blog posts about life as a pro athlete, which could be
published periodically throughout the season. “I started getting anxiety
thinking back to my college term papers and having a deadline,”Redick told me
recently. Besides, the idea seemed a little too similar to The Players' Tribune
, a digital outlet that also publishes personal essays written by athletes.
“I have no issue with The Players’ Tribune,” Redick said. “But if we’re
going to do it, let’s do something different.”
而现在已经32岁的JJ，是在属于他自己的Podcast(抱歉我真的不知道要怎么翻比较贴切@@)
