On this day: Reggie Miller says no to becoming a Boston Celtic
On this day in Boston Celtics history, former Indiana Pacers shooting guard
legend Reggie Miller turned down Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge’s
offer to join the 2007-08 Celtics as the Boston GM sought to assemble a
contender that summer.
波士頓賽爾提克隊歷史上的今天(註:是8/23)
Danny Ainge邀請Miller復出加入07-08年的超賽 最後Miller婉拒了
Miller, a sharp-shooting luminary known for his lethal outside shot who had
been retired for two seasons after 18 campaigns with the Pacers, gave the
offer real consideration when he received the call from Ainge.
在溜馬待了18年的Miller 當時已退休兩年
對於Ainge的這個提議 他考慮了許久
“I’m always flattered when my name is mentioned as someone who
can still help an NBA team win a championship,” offered the then-NBA analyst
for TNT via ESPN’s J.A. Adande.
當時身分為TNT球評的Miller說:
仍被視為是一個可以協助球隊贏得冠軍的球員 真是讓我受寵若驚
“(I have) contacted Reggie and he is contemplating a comeback
with us,” shared Ainge on the prospect of adding Miller to the juggernaut he
assembled.
Ainge希望Miller的加入能讓剛組成的超賽更加強大
Ainge說:我聯繫了Miller 他也慎重考慮要重回NBA加入我們
Ringless despite nearly two decades in the NBA, the offer was appealing to
Miller even after the long break as a player and his relatively advanced age.
In the end, the prospect of life on the road was too much for the former
Pacer to endure, or so he said at the time.
在NBA近20年仍無冠 這個邀請對於已老邁且退休兩年的Miller相當有吸引力
但最後Miller表示這樣的人生規劃對他來說還是太沉重了
"I can still shoot with the best of them," offered the then-reigning all-time
3-point shooter (Ray Allen was still some time away from passing him in total
3-pointers made) via Adande. "Mentally, I don't know if I can do eight
months," he explained. "February, March, I would have been dead."
當時仍是三分球王的Miller說:我還是能跟這群最棒的球員一起比賽
只是我無法確認我能否撐完一整個球季 到了二 三月我可能就撐不住了
"I want people to know, I wasn't coming back because I was bored," Miller
added. "I wasn't. Michael Jordan was bored when he came back. I didn't miss
the games, I didn't miss the locker room, I didn't miss the bus, I didn't
miss the planes. I wanted to come back to play with Kevin [Garnett] and
possibly win a championship."
"That was the reason I took it seriously and went two-a-days for two weeks
straight," he added.
我希望人們知道我選擇復出並不是因為我覺得無聊
MJ復出是因為他覺得無趣 但我並不懷念以往比賽的日子
我想復出的原因是因為我想跟KG等球員一起打球並拿下冠軍
也因此我慎重看待這件事 甚至進行了連續兩個禮拜每天兩次的訓練
And that was the end of the possibility of Reggie Miller as a Celtic. Later,
Miller admitted it just wasn't enough time to get into game shape according
to the Boston Globe's Shira Springer. Ainge revealed that had he known that
was the obstacle, he'd have given the legend more time, creating one of the
more intriguing 'what ifs' of Celtics history.
可惜這件事就這樣不了了之了
根據記者所述 Miller承認開季前所剩的時間並不足以讓他回復過往比賽時的體態
Ainge說如果他早知道Miller有這樣的疑慮
他一定會給他多一點時間調整 讓這件事能成真
