以賽亞 - 托馬斯親筆長文：給波士頓的一封信

People had these signs they made, and I can still see them: THIS IS FOR CHYNA. WE <3 ISAIAH. That sort of thing. Then they did a moment of silence, the whole arena, in Chyna ’ s honor. And it was like … man. I just realized, in that moment, that I didn ’ t need the court to shield me. I didn ’ t need to block it all out, and pretend I wasn ’ t grieving. I didn ’ t have to be alone in this.
Shit man...it's too damn early on a Wednesday for that kind've emotion
" 我得到的掌聲，我現在仍能聽到。人們打出的標語，我現在仍能看到：這是為瞭 Chyna，WE ❤️ ISAIAH。隨後他們默哀瞭一段時間，整個球館，為瞭 Chyna。我驚呆瞭。在那一刻，我才意識到，我不需要球場來保護我。我不需要屏蔽這一切，並假裝我不悲傷。"
哎 … 這才周三啊 … 我不想這麼早就借酒消愁。

His only "sin" is that he couldn't gel with Cousins. Not that DC is an easy person to play with or coexist with.
小托馬斯在國王時期唯一的所謂罪過就是無法和考辛斯共存。不過跟考辛斯打球和共存也不是一件容易的事。

What's kind of weird is that Boston only has one starter from last year left right? Isaiah wont really recognize that team he's going against.
奇怪的是，凱爾特人去年的首發現在隻剩下一個瞭。
小托馬斯再對上凱爾特人的時候可能都認不出來他們瞭。

Yeah, just Horford. Smart is a "starter" too, in that he plays starter minutes and closes out games for them.
沒錯，隻剩霍福德瞭。斯瑪特也勉強算是個首發，因為他打的是首發才有的出場時間，而且關鍵時刻都在場上。

I got fucking goosebumps from reading that. The context with him talking about how that celtics team came together and how he played a part in building that. And then he drops a flex bomb with "ok, now destroy it."
Whoooo
騎士球迷：我看那段的時候全身起雞皮疙瘩。他談到凱爾特人的那支陣容是如何組建到一起，他自己是如何幫助凱爾特人成功的，然後他就投下深水炸彈：" 等到季後賽來臨的時候。另一支球隊（騎士告訴我）：好瞭，現在去摧毀你自己建造的一切吧。"

We love IT. He framed it beautifully. I think what hurt the most was reading this:
And so when I say this hurts, man — just know that it isn ’ t because of anything anyone else did. It ’ s only because of something I did.
I fell in love with Boston.
凱爾特人球迷：我們都愛小托馬斯，他完美地把把這些情感表達瞭出來。我覺得最令人心痛的部分是這段：
" 當我說這一切很令我受傷時，你們隻要記得，這不是來源於其他人的所作所為，而恰恰是我自己的。
因為我愛上波士頓瞭。"

He clearly loved the city and the fans so much. A lot of athletes that come through Boston don't fully understand how much this city will love you if you play the right way. IT definitely did, and gave everything he had to earn that. Like he said, it's a business, but still tough to see a guy like that traded.
凱爾特人球迷：很明顯，小托馬斯深愛著波士頓這座城市和球迷。很多來波士頓的球隊打球的運動員不能夠完全認識到：如果你好好打，這座城市絕不會吝嗇自己的喜愛之情。小托馬斯全力以赴，自己掙得瞭我們的熱愛。就像他說的那樣，這一切隻不過是生意，但是小托馬斯被交易走還是讓我傷心。

Does a legend have to play here their whole career to be legendary? I don't think so. Scoring 53 points in a crucial playoff game, on a bum hip, a couple days after your sister died is ABSOLUTELY legendary in my eyes.
凱爾特人球迷：成為傳奇也並不代表該球員必須在那支球隊度過自己的整個職業生涯啊。帶著臀部傷病、還沒從自己的妹妹幾天前的去世的悲痛中緩過神來，小托直接在一場關鍵的季後賽中砍下 53 分。這 TM 就是傳奇！

I like to imagine that sometime not long from now, somewhere in Boston, someone is going to be a parent, talking basketball to their kid. And their kid is going to ask them, point-blank like kids do, you know, "Yo — why you become a Celtics fan?"
And that parent, man, they ’ re going to think back to themselves — really think on it. And then they ’ re going to smile, and tell the truth.
"I saw Isaiah Thomas play."
That would make me very happy. For me, I think, that ’ d be enough.
That got me.
" 我喜歡去想象在不久後的某個時刻，在波士頓的某處，某人將會成為一位父母，向他們的孩子講籃球的故事。他們的孩子天真無邪，開口問道，" 爸爸 / 媽媽，你為什麼會成為一名凱爾特人球迷？"
那位父母，他們會認真地思考這個問題。然後他們會微笑，並告知孩子真相：
" 因為以賽亞 - 托馬斯。"
這會讓我感到非常開心。我認為，對於我而言，這足夠瞭。"
我的眼淚在讀到末尾時掉瞭下來。

I was a "big" Celtics fan during the big three era because my discovery of basketball coincided with moving to New England and the start of the big 3. However, my fandom was not even close to what IT's Celtics fostered these past 2.5 years.
Despite being a Celtics fan for awhile before IT, I think I would answer that question the same way.
凱爾特人球迷：因為我恰好在三巨頭聚首初期搬到瞭新英格蘭，那時候我剛剛接觸到籃球的美妙，自然而然地成為瞭綠軍的球迷。然而，這一切都比不上小托馬斯時代的綠軍帶給我的美好和隨之而來的對綠軍的狂熱。
盡管在小托馬斯來到綠軍之前我已經做瞭很長時間的凱爾特人球迷瞭，我覺得，如果別人問我為什麼喜歡凱爾特人，我也會回答：" 因為以賽亞 - 托馬斯。"

Lol not one comment on this?
And like I said, there ’ s no hard feelings. But I just hope that the next time a player leaves in free agency, and anybody wants to jump on him or write a critical story or a nasty tweet about him, maybe now they ’ ll think twice. Maybe they ’ ll look around the league, look at a case like mine, and remember that loyalty — it ’ s just a word. And it ’ s a powerful word if you want it to be. But man … when it comes to business, it ain ’ t nothing to count on.
Reddit aint going to like this!
just like that, without any warning — by the franchise that I scratched and clawed for, and bled for, and put my everything on the line for? That ’ s why people need to fix their perspective. It ’ s like, man — with a few exceptions, unless we ’ re free agents, 99 times out of 100, it ’ s the owners with the power. So when players are getting moved left and right, and having their lives changed without any say-so, and it ’ s no big deal … but then the handful of times it flips, and the player has control … then it ’ s some scandal?
哈哈竟然沒人提到這些：
" 如我所言，我並不會抱怨什麼，但我希望當明年有自由球員選擇離隊時，如果有人還打算踩他幾腳，寫文章惡心他或者發推特攻擊他的時候，也許該三思而行瞭。也許他們應該審視一下這個聯盟，看看像我這樣的情況，然後記住這一點：忠誠，就是普通的兩個字而已，當然也可以是兩個強有力的字，但是在生意面前，它是多麼得蒼白無力。"
哎呦，Reddit 可要恨死接下來的這段話瞭：
" 沒有任何預警，我就這樣被這支我為它盡心盡力、流血流淚、傾盡所有的球隊交易瞭？這也是為什麼人們需要改變他們的觀念—— 99% 的情況下，權利都是掌握在球隊手中的，唯一的例外就是當我們是自由球員的時候。球員們被送來送去，朝不保夕，生活因此改變卻沒有任何發言權，但是這好像很無所謂。然而當事情發生翻轉，我們球員們掌握瞭主動權 …… 然後這反而成為瞭我們的醜聞？說實話，這很大程度上揭露瞭我們所處的聯盟的現狀，甚至是這個社會的現狀，同時說明我們還有很長的路要走。"

KD is awesome and I'm glad he did went out to get a ring.
If KD came back different from that foot injury to average 14PPG then OKC would've traded him and it would've been a "business." Glad KD did that before they had an opportunity to do him dirty.
Chicago threw out hometown MVP Rose like yesterday's fish, Miami wouldn't shell out an extra couple million to someone who willed them to their first chip, loyalty is dead
KD all day, 5x Finals MVP in the works boiii, also I hate the warriors, KD is the future best player in the world tho
"Le he join 73-9 team xD" -> Lebron formed a team that he initially thought would win 6-8 championships because he thought DWade would be 2009 DWade for years to come and age like Vino Kobe.
雷霆球迷：杜蘭特棒極瞭，我很開心他能離開我們去追尋戒指。
如果杜蘭特沒有從那次腳傷中恢復，場均得個 14 分。雷霆指定會交易他的，人們又會說這一切隻是生意。我很開心杜蘭特有機會在別人搞他之前自己決定自己的未來。
公牛把昨日的傢鄉 MVP 羅斯像臭魚一樣丟瞭出去，熱火甚至都不願意給那位抗起球隊奪得第一個總冠軍的球隊傳奇多付幾百萬美元。根本就沒什麼忠誠。
我 tm 一路頂杜蘭特，5 個 FMVP，杜蘭特上吧！另外，我恨勇士，不過杜蘭特是未來的聯盟第一人。
人們說他加入瞭 73 勝 9 負的球隊。但是要記住，詹姆斯加入熱火的時候原本以為自己能拿下 6-8 個總冠軍，因為他覺得韋德會保持 2009 年的狀態，並像科比那樣，如紅酒般經得起歲月沉淀。

I think it's a bad narrative that people keep pressing. I think you'd find the majority ( not all ) of fans that disagree with KD do so because they hate where he went and what that meant for the competitive nature of the league. It's not that he left OKC. In fact, there was a lot of excitement around him potentially going to Washington or Boston to add another challenger in the East.
我覺得小托馬斯關於杜蘭特的這番話是有些人故意歪曲輿論。大部分的球迷都並不反對杜蘭特離開鵝城，他們恨的是杜蘭特加入瞭勇士，徹底搞砸瞭聯盟的競爭性。根本跟他離開鵝城沒關系。實際上，他進入自由市場時，他去奇才或者凱爾特人的前景都令廣大球迷激動不已，因為這意味著東部不再一傢獨大。
