Weber State staff, ex-players share stories about Damian Lillard being a
cheapskate
by Mike Cruz, May 4, 2019
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is now a superstar making
millions of money – nearly $28 million a year.
拓荒者后卫Damian Lillard如今已经是个赚进数百万美金的超级明星了，
他年薪将近2800万。
Lillard signed a 5-year $140 million with the Blazers in 2016, and will go
through the 2020-21 season, with still around $61 million left in this
current deal.
2016年，Lillard与拓荒者签下5年一亿四千万的合约，这份合约将持续到2020-21，
目前这份合约还剩下2年6100万。
However, despite his current million-dollar stature, it seems like the 4-time
All-Star was very tight with his money back when he was playing Weber State.
In an interview with Jason Jenks of The Athletic, some of Lillard’s
teammates and coaches in college shared anecdotes of the All-NBA guard being
a cheapskate.
然而，尽管曾进过四次全明星赛Lillard现在身价不同凡响，
但当他还在母校韦伯州大打球时，似乎非常地"节俭"。
在接受《The Athletic》采访时，
韦伯州大的一些前队友和教练分享了Lillard在大学时代的轶事。
Phil Beckner, assistant coach: He was so damn tight with his money. He was
the biggest tightwad ever.
助理教练Phil Beckner：“他对钱实在是抓得太紧了，他是有史以来最吝啬的小气鬼。”
First is Lillard’s utter refusal to have his car’s broken window fixed.
首先是，Lillard的车窗破了也不去修。
Beckner: He had a broken window in his car and he wouldn’t get it fixed. He
couldn’t get the ice off his car one day so he had to put his head out the
window to drive to class.
助理教练Phil Beckner：
“他的车窗户破了，硬是不修。有一天挡风玻璃上的冰层无法清掉，
他就将头探出那个破掉的车窗外开车去上课。”
The teammates also shared about how Lillard would always eat at Burger King
and either order from their dollar menu or use coupons for discounts.
其他队友也分享了Lillard在汉堡王吃饭，以及使用优惠券的事。
Kyle Bullinger, forward: Every single day Damian Lillard ate Burger King for
lunch. Every. Single. Day.
前队友Kyle Bullinger：“每天Lillard都吃汉堡王当午餐，每、一、天！”
Josh Noble, guard: He always ordered off the dollar menu and always used
coupons. If he found a coupon somewhere, he would use it. He wasn’t paying
full price for nothing.
前队友Josh Noble：
“他永远都点打折的套餐，而且老是使用优惠券。
如果他找到一张优惠券，他一定要用掉，非打折他不买单。”
Fulton: He would eat the meals the coaches would give us in the locker room,
like PB&J sandwiches. On the road trips, he’d freaking fill his bag with as
many Powerades and Gatorades as he could.
前队友Fulton：
“他会吃教练在休息室发给我们的餐点，像是花生酱三明治什么的。去客场比赛时，
他会尽可能地将他的包包全部塞满Powerades以及Gatorades(开特力)饮料。”
Finally, which could be the most ridiculous of all, Lillard actually
free-rode on his teammate’s Netflix account for three years. The 28-year old
star even had the audacity to ask his teammate where the Netlix went after he
reportedly failed to pay his credit card.
最后，最好笑的是，Lillard免费用了三年队友的Netflix帐密，
甚至还向队友询问为何Netflix帐户的扣款会失败。
Fulton: Oh my God, man. This guy. His last year at Weber he moved in with us.
There were four of us in this house. Dame asked me for my Netflix password so
I gave it to him. Then after he got Rookie of the Year, I went on my Netflix
one day, and this dude had himself his own account on my account, with his
own little display box on there. I’m like, “Hold up.”
前队友Fulton：
“我的天阿，这个人真是......他在大学最后一年，和我们共四个住一起，
Lillard向我要了Netflix的密码，我给了他。
在他得到NBA最佳新秀后，有一天我上去Netflix，发现这个人居然还在我的帐户上，
他还在用我的帐密。”
Kirk: About a week or two after he got drafted, he sent me a text asking me
for my Netflix login.
前队友Kirk：“在选秀过后一两个礼拜后，他传短信给我，问我Netflix的帐号是多少。”
Fulton: And then one day, I forgot to update my credit card info with
Netflix. We’re on a road trip, and Dame texted me, “Hey, what happened with
Netflix? Why isn’t it working?” There were at least two or three years
where I was paying for his Netflix.
前队友Fulton：
“有一次，我忘了更新我的Netflix信用卡，那时我正在旅行途中，
Lillard传短信给我说‘嘿，Netflix怎么了，为啥不能看了？’
大约有两到三年的时间吧，我都在帮他看的Netflix付钱。”
