The Mavericks appear to be taking an unconventional route in hiring their
next general manager.
独行侠采取非传统的路线去聘请新GM
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday that the team is "progressing" on
an agreement to bring Nico Harrison to Dallas as its next president of
basketball operations. Wojnarowski also reports that Jason Kidd is close to
becoming the Mavs' new coach.
根据WOJ的报导独行侠即将与Nico Harrison达成协议成为他们的篮球事务总裁，同时
Jason Kidd也将成为他们的新任总教练(现在两人都确定加入了)
While Kidd is familiar to Mavericks fans, Harrison is not. In fact, the Nike
executive doesn't have any NBA experience, so it would seem that owner Mark
Cuban is taking a leap of faith by hiring him.
虽然独行侠的球迷对于Kidd已经非常熟悉，但Nico Harrison并不是，实际上，这个Nike的高
层并没有任何NBA的经验，但Mark Cuban显然对他有非常大的信心才雇用他
So, who is Nico Harrison? Here's what to know about him as he prepares to
make the transition from being one of the top people at Nike to being the
head honcho in Dallas' front office.
所以到底谁是Nico Harrison，这边就来简介一下这位要从Nike高层转换到独行侠管理层的
是何许人也
Who is Nico Harrison?
Harrison told Carol Schmidt of MSU News in 2016 that he was hired by Nike as
an NBA representative on April 2, 2002.
所以到Nico Harrison到底是谁，他曾在2016年跟媒体说他在2002年时被Nike指派为和
NBA之间的代表
He began his career with the company as a Southwest U.S. marketing rep,
working to promote stars like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, but
in his second year at the company he became the marketing liaison to Kobe
Bryant.
他一开始在Nike是负责美国西南地区的行销代表，负责和Duncan、Parker、Ginobili等球
星合作，但第二年就变成Kobe在Nike的行销代表
Harrison developed a strong relationship and friendship with Bryant, and his
work to revamp Bryant's image helped him climb the ladder at Nike. He has
cultivated relationships with NBA players during his time as a marketing
manager.
Harrison和Kobe成为非常好的朋友，他帮助Kobe改造形象，提升他在Nike的地位，这段时
间他也和联盟中其他球员建立起非常良好的关系
In more recent years, Harrison has put himself on the NBA map with his
connections to players. According to ESPN's Tim McMahon, Harrison has a
strong relationship with Mavericks star Luka Doncic and has been pursued by
other teams for front-office roles.
近年来，因为他和球员间的关系，他一直都在NBA球队的锁定名单，根据Tim MacMahon的说
法，他和Luka Doncic的关系也十分良好，而且一直有NBA球队希望他能加入管理层
Harrison had remained at Nike in spite of that interest, but now it appears
that he's ready to jump to the league.
但Harrison还是选择留在Nike，直到今年他似乎已经准备好要进入NBA(金钱的力量?)
Lakers forward Jared Dudley said it would be "a big play" if the Mavericks
could land Harrison.
湖人前锋Jared Dudley认为如果独行侠如果能聘请Nico Harrison是非常杰出的一手

Harrison is an outside-the-box option, but if Doncic and other players across
the league are as confident in Harrison as Dudley appears to be, then the
move could pan out. Either way, Cuban seems willing to give the Harrison-Kidd
pairing a go.
虽然Harrison看起来是一个跳脱框架的选择，但球员如Doncic和Dudley等[人都对他有信心
的话，那这个举动看来会是成功的，无论如何，Cuban愿意在Kidd和Harrison身上赌一把

Nico Harrison has been pursued for several front office jobs in recent years
but thus far remained at Nike. He’s well respected and well connected to
many of the game’s best players.
Nico Harrison近年来一直被各队的管理层延揽，但他还是选择留在Nike，他非常受到尊敬
且和许多顶级球星都有建立关系

Harrison is one of the most respected execs in the footwear industry, and was
Kobe Bryant’s longtime sports marketing manager during his career.
Nico was also instrumental in Luka’s shift from Nike to Jordan in Fall 2019.
Harrison在球鞋产业内是最受人敬重的高层之一，而且他长期担任Kobe的运动市场行销经
理，Doncic和Jordan签约他也从中推了一把

Dallas' approach, if it can succeed where other teams have failed in luring
Harrison away from Nike, is an offshoot of how various agents have moved into
front offices. Relationships and a strong rep, especially for a team that has
struggled in free agency, hold undeniable appeal
达拉斯如果能成功将这个各队延揽失败的人才挖过来，由于他在联盟中建立的关系
，对于这支近年来在自由市场十分挣扎的球队，会有相当大的帮助

Haven’t met anyone-player, coach, etc.-who doesn’t like Nico Harrison. He’
ll be able to talk with anyone in the room. Obviously strong relationships
with a lot of stars and important people in the game from his Nike gig.
Definitely worth outside-the-box thinking from Dallas.
联盟中没有任何一个球员、教练等等不喜欢Nico Harrison，他可以和任何人沟通，和联盟
中许多球星和重要人士都有良好的关系，这个跳过框架的人选对于达拉斯是值得的

Jason Kidd has had a long relationship with Nike and he and Nico Harrison
know each other well.
Kidd和Harrison也有长期的友谊，他们非常了解彼此

For Mavs fans that don’t know Nico, he played D1 college ball and has been
in a role where he decides which players Nike pursues and elevates. He was
Kobe’s guy at Nike. Players love him. He knows basketball talent and is an
honest, straightforward pro. Basketball lifer!
给那些不认识Nico的独行侠球迷，他大学时曾打过D1，他能决定哪个球员是Nike要签的，
他也是Kobe在Nike的代表，球员都很喜欢他，他了解球员的天分，是个非常真诚直接的专
