前NBA球员Trevor Booker从2010年被巫师队选上后在华府待了4年. 根据他的回忆那四年
是他职业生涯见过最多疯狂行径的时光
“It was the most terrible team that I’ve probably been on, but it was
probably the most fun I’ve ever had in the NBA. Because those guys didn’t
care at all, you know? ”
这是我待过最糟糕的球队,但也是我职业生涯中玩得最疯的时光. 队友们根本不在乎输赢.
“I would come into the locker room the day of a game and watch one player
cut up the suit of another player. One guy took a shit in another guy’s
shoe. Oh my goodness, I have stories for days. We would go on the road and we
would break into each other’s room and beat a player up, tie him up. There’
s so many stories I got from those Washington days. It was so much fun, but
looking back on it, oh my goodness. It was so unprofessional.”
我曾经在比赛当天进休息室时看到一个队友拿刀割烂另一位队友的西装,或是有人拉一泡屎
在队友的鞋子里. 这些故事根本说不完. 我们出战客场时会闯入队友的饭店房间把他绑起来
毒打一顿. 太多事情了,根本没有职业道德可言
“That’s all I knew. It was my first NBA team, So I’m like, ‘Wow, the NBA
really is a shitshow.’ But, you know, as soon as I went to Utah, I was like,
‘Wow, this is way different. This is way more professional, and I really like
this a lot more. There’s a lot more structure, and you know, it’s family-
oriented.’ … I went to other organizations and I realized that what I had
in Washington, it was not normal at all.”
巫师队是我加入NBA后的第一个球队,所以我当时以为这就是NBA文化. 但是当我一到犹他爵
士队后,我才发现爵士队非常有规律,球队像个大家庭,我觉得这个环境好太多了. 我后来
到其他球队后更发现当初的巫师队根本是不正常
“And one of the stories I didn't mentioned is outside of a nightclub one night
my teammates got to fighting. They got to fighting with each other. Two
teammates got to fighting each other outside of the nightclub. It was...oh my
goodness, it was a wild night. Then, one of my other teammates tried to jump
in and break it up, and he ended up getting beat by cops. I had to drive him
home and he was crying the whole way. It was ... oh my goodness it's so many
stories from that rookie year.”
我还有一个没提到的故事. 有一天晚上我有两个队友在夜店外面打起来,另一名队友跳进去
当和事佬,结果他反而被警察误打一顿. 我后来开车载他回家,他一路上哭个不停. 我的天
啊我新人年的故事太多了.
“I’m just glad I got out alive,”
我只庆幸我没有死在队上
回顾一下,在Booker加入巫师队的前一年才发生Gilbert Arenas跟队友Javaris Crittenton
在队上打牌呛输赢结果Crittenton带枪进休息室造成两个人被禁赛的事件. 而Booker刚进
巫师队时Arenas还没被交易到魔术队. 有这种球队文化只能说不意外.
