Remembering Kobe: Stories from coaching at Kobe Camp
回忆Kobe: 自Kobe篮球营教练的亲述故事
I'm not sure where the best place would be to post this, but I wanted to share
a couple stories with anyone else who had ever met Kobe, seen him play, or fe
lt inspired by him:
不知道这篇文贴在哪最好，但我想和任何曾遇见过Kobe，看过他打球，或被他启发过的人
分享几个故事。

I had the privilege of being a coach at Kobe’s basketball camp every summer f
or five years in a row. A lot of players have branded summer camps, but Kobe w
asn't a guy who would put his name on the camp logo, show up once, and cash hi
s check...he would show up daily - sometimes for the 8am greeting to address t
he 700+ kids in the gym - and was a constant presence throughout the week.
我有幸连续五年担任夏季Kobe篮球营的教练。许多球员利用这样的机会来打造自身品牌，
但Kobe不是那种会把名字挂在篮球营商标上，现身一次，然后就结束领钱的人。他真愿意
每天早到-有时候是八点一早就和体育馆内700位以上的孩童们应对和招呼-然后他当周人
都会在现场。

He’d interrupt drills to make sure 8-year olds were running the triangle offe
nse properly. He’d walk through team practices pulling kids aside to give the
m tips on their jab step. One time I saw him tell a kid “that was a lazy pass
” and for the rest of the week the kid passed the ball so hard his teammates
could barely catch it.
他会介入跑篮来确保8岁小孩们有好好的跑三角进攻。他会走进团练，把某个小孩拉出来
一旁来指导刺探步技巧。有次我看到他对某个小孩说 “你那传球太懒散了”，从此之后
一周内，这小孩便传得超用力，连队友也几乎接不住。
The younger kids wouldn’t hear a word he said, they were in shock that an act
ual God was speaking to them. But you could see in some of the older kids eyes
that any time Kobe was nearby, something switched. They moved a little quicke
r, played a little harder, like some higher level had just been found.
营里的小孩童们一般听不进他说的任何一字，毕竟他们处在一个 “神” 真的在自己面前
说话的惊讶中。但你可以从一些较年长小的孩子们察觉，每当Kobe经过时，他们眼神总是
一亮。他们会加速，更卖地打球，仿佛置身在一个更强的层级。
One year at camp I had a 10-year-old Japanese girl on my team who didn’t spea
k a word of English, yet still was the only person on the team to grasp the co
ncept of 'help defense.' Kobe was walking by one afternoon, saw her take a per
fect charge, and got so excited he ran on to the court to give her a high five
DURING the game. He stayed and cheered for her the rest of the game (she ende
d up taking at least 20 more charges that week, was the biggest hustler on the
team and got awarded "best defense" for our division. She also couldn't stop
smiling and saying "Kobe high-fived me!" after that day).
有年，我队上有个10岁的日本女孩，一句英文都不会讲，但她是队上唯一一个努力想搞懂
“协防”这概念的人。有天下午Kobe经过，看到她做了对方一个漂亮的进攻犯规。比赛
还在进行中喔，他兴奋的照样冲进场跟这小女孩击掌。之后他留下来把这场比赛看完，继
续帮小女孩加油。(小女孩最后做了至少20次以上的进攻犯规，是整场队上最拼命的人，
也赢了一个我这小组的最佳防守奖。那天之后，她总不断的笑着说 “Kobe跟我击掌了”)
Another year I saw him get challenged by a gangly young white kid who walked s
traight up to him and said “Bet you can’t beat me, I’m the WHITE Mamba.” L
ater that day while speaking to the entire crowd of kids in the gym, Kobe call
ed that boy out to center court. He played him one-on-one and with all 700+ ca
mpers watching, beat the kid 5-0.
另一年，我看到有个在混的白人小孩直接走到面前找Kobe单挑，还呛 “来打赌阿，你打
不赢我啦，我可是白曼巴耶”。当天后来，在体育馆里对所有小孩谈话的时候，Kobe把那
小孩叫到场中央，在700个小孩面前一打一，然后5比0把他打败。
Then one year, after the kids had gone to bed, a few of us were shooting aroun
d in the gym with Kobe. The side door opened and we saw Lil Bow Wow walk in, u
nannounced, with a backpack full of cash (no idea why he was there, the camp w
as in Santa Barbara). He threw out a challenge, he wanted to play Kobe 1-on-1
for a thousand dollars. Kobe let Bow Wow start the game up 10-0, then proceede
d to play harder than anyone I’ve ever seen at ANY level. It didn’t look lik
e he was playing one-on-one with the 5’7” rapper of ‘Shortie Like Mine’ -
it felt like he was playing for a championship. Kobe scored 11 straight points
, took the stack of cash, turned to us coaches and said “give this to my peop
le.” I got handed $100 and immediately bought new Kobes.
还有一年，在小孩们都散场去休息后，我们几个人在体育馆里和Kobe练投篮。侧门打开，
便看到Lil Bow Wow(饶舌手歌)带着一整袋钱走进来，完全没事先告知 (我们夏令营在圣
塔芭芭拉，对于他为什么现身完全不解)。他表明了是要找Kobe单挑，赌注是$1000美金。
Kobe让Bow Wow先攻，先得10分就赢。然后Kobe开始打超狠，比我见过他所有的单挑都凶
狠。这看起来完全不像是在打一个唱 ‘Shortie Like Mine’ 的1米7饶舌歌手，这根本
像是在打他的冠军赛。Kobe连得11分，拿走整叠现金，转向我们教练组说“自己人把这钱
分了吧”。我拿了$100块，赶紧就去买了双新的Kobe战靴。
(注:Youtube找的到影片，据说Bow Wow是以单挑之名，行捐款之实)
The last year of camp we had our photo session, coaches each got their own pic
with Kobe. I could tell he was tired from the day-long photo shoot when he ya
wned and said “wassup b” as I walked over. I said “man we’ve been getting
the same photo for five years, can we mix it up?” hoping I could find a way t
o get a laugh out of this overworked exhausted dude who gave so much to the ca
mp every year. He chuckled and said “let’s do it” then immediately cocked h
is head to the side, crossed his eyes, and as if he hadn't done enough already
, made everyone in the room burst out laughing. To this day it makes me smile
every time I see it.
最后一年的训练营我们有团照时间，教练组每位都能和Kobe独拍。我经过他身边，听到他
边哈欠边招呼 “冲虾?”，完全看的出来他拍一整天下来已经累了。我就说 “老兄，一
样的照片我们已经照五年了，(这次)可以随便乱拍吗?” 我心里是希望把这位在篮球营超
时工作，每年都把自己累瘫的老兄逗笑。他笑了一声，说 “好啊 来吧”，随即把他的头
歪向一边，装斗鸡眼，自己好像还做不腻一样，把整场人都逗笑了。直到今天，每次看到
这相片我仍然会笑。

Between the moments of hanging with him on the sidelines, listening to his Q&A
sessions, and watching how he interacted with kids on a daily basis you could
tell this guy had some crazy fire that drove him to not only be better on and
off the court, but make everyone around him better too. That’s a pretty amaz
ing legacy to leave behind and I’m beyond grateful to have been influenced an
d inspired by a man who put so much love in to the world.
Oh, and I still wear those Kobes. Thanks, Bow Wow.
在场边和他(Kobe)共处的时刻，听他Q&A的时刻，还有看他每天怎么与小孩子互动，你可
以感到像是有狂热的火在驱动他，不只让自己场上场下的表现更好，也让他对周遭的人们
如此。身后能留下这样的功绩伟业真的是不可思议，能被一个在世界付出如此多爱的人影
响和启发，我自己也感激不已。
ꀊ喔还有，我还是有在穿那双新Kobe战靴，谢囉Bow Wow。
