A press release! It was so modest and charmingly retro it may as well have arrived by fax, or better yet, snail mail. Tim Duncan 在星期一早上退休了，而他的宣告方式是如此地有他一貫的風格，讓人不禁眼眶濕潤: 沒有儀式，沒有電視訪問，也不是在球星雲集的 Players Tribune 上發表充滿感性的文章，而是538字的媒體新聞稿，由他唯一效力過的馬刺隊發出的。媒體新聞稿！這實在是太復古了，彷彿回到以前從傳真機裏蹦出來的時代一樣，或者... 由郵差投遞過來。 Would anyone have wanted it any other way? Duncan’s exit was always going to happen like this. No one who loved Duncan ever thought he’d engineer a final-season vanity lap through the league, standing through awkward midcourt celebrations among opponents bearing unwanted gifts. No way. I believe Duncan would have rather spent a season curled in the baggage hold of the team bus than collecting personalized rocking chairs and electric guitars from teams he tried to bury. 這也很符合大家的預期。喜愛 Duncan 的人們難以想像他會辦個最後一年的全國巡迴，在讓人不自在的中場慶祝活動中站在對手球員之間接受贈禮。這不可能。我相信 Duncan 寧願縮在球隊巴士的行李廂中一整年也不要從他試著擊敗的對手手中收下搖椅和電吉它。照片集，請到原網站觀賞，讓人懷念的一些關鍵時刻 Photos: Tim Duncan Retires After 19 Seasons With San Antonio Spurs Here’s a look back at some of the key moments in the illustrious 19-year NBA career of San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan.

Duncan與Pop He went quietly, humbly, much as he arrived, out of Wake Forest the first pick in the draft 19 seasons ago to the Spurs, who soon became a team transformed. San Antonio was a factory of consistency, winning the first of five NBA championships in 1999, a young Duncan pairing with a towering predecessor, David Robinson, and a coach, Gregg Popovich, who put himself on the bench after leaving the general manager’s office. Back then, Spurs basketball was unfairly maligned as bit of a snooze, disciplined and unflashy, a departure from a star-driven game. But nobody denied they were ruthlessly good. 他的離去如此安靜而謙遜，一如他19年前的到來。從威克森林以第一順位到馬刺隊，他很快就適應了馬刺隊的風格。年輕的 Duncan 和前輩巨星 David Robinson，加上不安份於總管位置跳下來執教的 Gregg Popovich, 以穩定著稱的馬刺隊在1999年獲得隊史第一座冠軍。在當時，馬刺的籃球被批評為讓人想打瞌睡，太有紀律缺乏亮點，和塑造球星的聯盟格格不入。不過，沒有人能否定他們就是很強。 Duncan’s collected numbers are just absurd. The Spurs won 71% of their games in Duncan’s near-two decades, a run of success that team retirement press release pointed out has been unmatched in basketball, baseball, hockey, or even by those Patriots. Duncan’s the only NBA player to ever be part of 1,000 or more wins with one team. He is one of only two players in league history to record 26,000 or more points, 15,000 rebounds, and 3,000 blocked shots. The other was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was pretty good himself. There are 15 All-NBA team selections, 15 All-Defensive team selections, two regular season MVPs, three Finals MVPs… We could go on. But it would only mortify Duncan. Duncan 的累積數據如此驚人，馬刺在有 Duncan 的近20年間有著71%的勝率，如同在退休新聞稿中提到的，這段期間的成功沒有其它籃球、棒球、冰球球隊比得上，連愛國者隊都顯得遜色。Duncan 是唯一在同一支球隊中取得超過1000勝的NBA球員。他是唯二在聯盟中達到26000分15000籃板3000阻攻的球員--另一個是同樣偉大的賈霸。他入選過15次年度球隊，15次年度防守球隊，2次MVP，3次FMVP... 我們可以繼續說下去，不過這樣只會偏離 Duncan 的偉大之處。 In an era in which the NBA expertly crafted its superstars into global celebrities, Duncan hid in plain sight. He was never a national advertiser’s dream (though those local H.E.B. supermarket spots were sublime), a blustery interview, or a style icon. If he harbored Hollywood ambitions, he never shared them. He dressed like a member of the junior high school turtle club. 在一個聯盟成功地把超級球星塑造成國際巨星的時代裏，Duncan 就像是躲在鎂光燈外。全國性廣告不會想找他代言(地區超市的廣告倒是極受歡迎)，媒體不會想訪問他炒話題，也不是時尚人物。就算他偷偷懷有去好萊塢發展的雄心恐怕也沒人看得出來。他的穿著就像個 junior high school turtle club 成員一樣。查不到是什麼意思，有人懂的話請指點 He was deadset on being a brilliant basketball player, which he was pretty much the entire time he played. There are a zillion ways in which Duncan’s impact can be measured—the stats, the rings, the honors— but his true power was as a teammate. He played basketball the way your coaches always told you to play basketball: relentlessly, unselfishly, at both ends of the court. Along with teammates Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, he will be remembered as a member of a historic trio, as part of something that was bigger and even better than he was. The Spurs are a vanguard franchise that changed the way basketball teams—actually, sports teams in general—are made. Everyone knows Duncan was the foundation of the structure. 他從內到外、自始至終是個傑出的籃球員。他的成就可以從很多方面來評量 -- 數據、戒指數、各種獎項 -- 不過做為一個隊友才是他的真正價值。他就像是個典範，以身作則地做著教練們總是在要求的那些事 -- 在攻守兩端都無私、都努力不懈。和老隊友 Manu Ginobili 與 Tony Parker 一起，他會永遠被記得是史上留名的三劍客中的其中一名，是屬於一個比他本身更偉大的存在的一部份。馬刺隊是改變籃球建隊文化的先鋒，而每個人都知道 Duncan 是這棟大樓的基石。 He is 40. Is he really 40? Duncan has always seemed ageless. Sure: there were a few flecks of gray here and there, and his old springiness had faded, but Duncan could still bring it from time to time, that little jump hook shot in the paint, swish, back up the court, head down, like he was ducking out of a party. Was there an athlete with more recognizable body language than Duncan —those slouchy shoulders, those incredulous eyeballs, those appeals to referees in which he looked like a guy who found an extra bottle of wine on the bill? 他40歲了。他真的40歲了嗎？ Duncan 一直看起來沒什麼變。也許這邊一簇那邊一簇斑白的頭髮和鬍子，以前的爆發力也一去不復返，但 Duncan 還是不時能帶給觀眾一些往日的回憶，那個在禁區內的小勾射、球進、頭低低默默地回防，好像從一個派對裏偷溜出來一樣。還有哪個運動員有著像他這麼好認的肢體語言嗎？那感覺無精打采的下垂肩膀，那雙對著裁判瞪得老大的眼珠，好像結帳時發現帳單上多了瓶酒似的。 Toward the end, Duncan was used less, but he always mattered. He would have mattered if he played until he was 60. He was the center of that selfless Spurs universe. He fit in with whatever San Antonio wanted to do, with whomever they brought in, and he departs his franchise in very competitive condition. It is a close-to-perfect career. 到了生涯尾聲，Duncan 的上場時間漸漸減少，但他的影響力還在。即使他打到60歲可能還是有影響力。他是這個無私馬刺宇宙的中心。他做好任何球隊希望他扮演的角色，跟任何球隊補來的隊友配合。而他在仍保有競爭力的狀態下選擇退出。真是個接近完美的生涯。 If you saw him play, it will be your job to remind the generations who did not. Basketball is a tantalizing game of individual creativity, and it is easy to get caught up in the momentary dazzle, and ignore the genius of consistency. Even if Duncan never was the flashiest or the noisiest or the most celebrated, in his play you saw true NBA greatness, for nineteen uninterrupted years. You saw history. You saw Tim Duncan. 如果你看過他打球，那你應該把他的偉大之處告訴往後沒機會看他打球的世代。籃球是個著重個人創造力的運動，讓人很容易目昡於瞬間綻放的光芒而忘記了能長年保持穩定發揮的天賦。Duncan 從來不是最耀眼或最嘴炮或最出名的，但從他打球你能看到什麼是NBA真正的偉大，19年間從不間斷。從中你看到歷史。你看到 Tim Duncan。 == For the Big Fundamental Greatness. == 這是稍早 Pop 在 press conference 提到的那篇文章原作者想必有些 emotional, 我也有些 emotional... 大概會有些他超說我沒翻或他沒說我超譯的部份，請包涵記得到原網站看看照片集 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.226.226.201 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Spurs/M.1468387019.A.0B3.html ※ 編輯: abysszzz (36.226.226.201), 07/13/2016 13:47:10
