Jeremy Lin's sleeping on his brother's sofa doesn't sound nearly as bad after
hearing about one veteran player's housing nightmare.
Delonte West is quite possibly the first active NBA player to be without a
home during a season. The Mavericks guard tells the Dallas Morning News that
after arriving in the Lone Star State he couldn't find a place to stay, so he
spent nights sleeping in the Mavs locker room and even in his car.
大家都知道林書豪的神奇沙發的事蹟了吧, 對於一個剛與球隊簽下十天短約的球員來說
這種日子實在不好過. 可是在NBA裡也有已經簽下正式合約的球員連沙發都沒得睡....
Delonte West, 很可能是NBA史上第一位有正式合約卻無家可歸的球員.
West向當地媒體透露, 與小牛隊簽約之後在達拉斯一直沒地方住, 只能睡球館或車上.
Let us explain.
West suffers from bipolar disorder, which causes extreme mood swings. In
2009, he was pulled over near his Maryland home on a three-wheeled Cam-Am
Spyder motorcycle, and police found a 9mm Beretta pistol, .357 Magnum and a
Remington 870 in a guitar case. West pleaded guilty to weapons and traffic
charges, but was able to avoid jail; instead he got electronic monitoring and
supervised probation and counseling.
Additionally, West was dealing with the end of his four-month marriage. He
feels his mental disorder is at least partially responsible for both his
personal and legal problems. "I've watched contracts go out the window,
endorsements disappear, court fees, lawyer fees, divorce fees," he told the
Morning News. "You watch the saving account just shoop ... shoop ... shoop
... shoop -- slowly disappear."
West有躁鬱症, 極端的情緒變化讓他吃足苦頭. 在2009年他攜帶大量槍械, 騎機車從
家裡出發後被警方查獲. West因非法攜械而被定罪, 雖然不用入獄但必須配戴
電子監控器材並接受心理諮商. 之後West更因此面臨離婚官司, 經濟狀況十分拮据...
Despite making more than $14 million in a career that began in 2004, West has
lost just about everything. During the NBA's labor dispute, he took a job at
a Maryland furniture store.
West had to sell vehicles, jewelry and "just about everything I own, except
for my house and the clothes on my back," he told the Dallas Morning News.
儘管生涯已經賺進超過1400萬美金, West現在卻幾乎身無分文, 在封館期間還必須到
大賣場工作維生.
After joining the Mavericks, the team gave him a hotel room during a very
brief training camp. However, once the regular season got started, NBA salary
cap rules blocked the team from providing housing for West. He said he tried
to rent apartments around North Texas but failed, because they were either
too expensive or he wasn't allowed because of his legal troubles.
So West would get a hotel room when the Mavericks were on the road, but when
they came back to Dallas late after road trips, he had no place to stay. So
rather than getting a hotel room for just a few hours, he would sleep in the
American Airlines Center locker room area or park his truck in the arena
players garage and rest.
在與小牛隊簽約以後, 球隊季前訓練時還可以提供West飯店房間, 但在球季開始以後
因為勞資協議的關係球隊無法繼續提供宿舍. West曾經嘗試在達拉斯當地租屋,
但昂貴的租金和本身的前科卻令他四處碰壁.
當球隊打客場的時候West還可以跟大家一起住飯店, 但是回到達拉斯他卻只能睡球場
或是他的貨車.
West told the Morning News his outrageous living situation didn't last long
after his boss found out about it. "Soon as Mr. Cuban heard about that, he
made one phone call and everybody was lining up to rent me an apartment,"
West laughed. "They were calling back saying, 'Hey, we've got the penthouse
suite for you.'"
當球隊老闆Mark Cuban知道West的窘境以後, 他打了一通電話幫了West一個忙.
"現在大家都排隊要把房子租給我了!" West笑著說.
The Mavericks are paying West $854,389 this season, while three therapists
help him deal with his bipolar disorder.
除了本季的85萬美金以外, 現在球隊還請了三個治療師來幫助West度過難關.
心得: 好老闆, 不推嗎XD
