[外絮] Reggie Miller解釋為何當年不組團
Reggie Miller Reveals Why He Didn’t Sign With 2008 Celtics
December 9, 2021 @ 5:50pm
Reggie Miller playing for the Boston Celtics? It almost happened back in
2007, but the Hall of Fame shooting guard couldn’t betray the Indiana Pacers.
你能想像 Reggie Miller 披上綠衫軍戰袍的樣子嗎？
這在2007當年幾乎可能成真，但最終這位名人堂後衛仍舊沒有離開印第安納溜馬。
Miller retired at the age of 39 following the 2004-05 NBA season. At that
point, he had spent all 18 seasons of his career with Indiana.
2004-05，39歲的Miller宣布退役，那時他已經連續效力溜馬18個賽季了。
Two years later though, Danny Ainge of the Celtics called Miller with an
offer to join a Boston squad that was loaded after its acquisitions of Kevin
Garnett and Ray Allen. Ultimately, the 42-year-old sharpshooter said no.
2年後，當時Danny Ainge曾試圖勸說Miller復出加入陣中有KG、雷槍的賽爾提克，
可最終Miller並沒有答應復出。
In an interview with Bob Kravitz of The Athletic which was published today,
Miller provided some insight on his decision.
近日在接受The Athletic的Bob Kravitz採訪時，
Miller也提到了他當時為何會做出那種選擇。
“Look I knew they were stacked to win a championship, and they did, but it
just wouldn’t have seemed right to be popping champagne in Boston when we
(Indiana) grew up together, we laughed together, we cried so many tears
together because we were so close for so many years,” Miller told Kravitz. “
How could I be sitting and cheering and laughing because I won my
championship and all I ever wanted to do was win in Indiana?”
Miller表示：
「聽著，我知道他們那樣組隊可以奪冠，而他們也確實做到了。
但當你跟著印第安納這座城市一起成長時，最終在波士頓開香檳慶祝似乎有點不太對。
我們曾經一起同甘共苦、彼此親近了這麼多年，
我怎麼能因為奪冠就這樣坐在那邊歡呼和大笑？難道我就不想在印第安納贏球嗎？」
People don’t understand — and we’ve seen this when LeBron came back to
Cleveland, and now Milwaukee — when small markets win like that, and Indiana
is in that category, it’s like winning three or four, it is. We’re not the
Lakers, Boston, Chicago. When you win in a small market, those fans live and
die with you.
「人們不明白的是，當我們見識到了LeBron回家鄉帶領騎士奪冠，然後去年公鹿奪冠。
當小城市奪冠的時候，那種喜悅就像一次拿了3或4個總冠軍，印第安納就是屬於這
層級。
我們並非湖人、波士頓或者芝加哥，當你在小城市奪冠時，
那些球迷就願意跟著你出生入死。」
And Indiana is such a basketball state, winning there was all I wanted to do.
I just knew how special it could be, so I could not in good faith put on
another jersey when all my joy and sadness came in one jersey, with one
franchise.
「印第安納這城市是一座籃球之都，我想做的就是在這裡贏球，
我知道那對我來說會有多特別。
所以當我所有的快樂及悲傷都奉獻給同一件球衣的時候，
我想我也無法再輕易穿上另一件球衣了。」
