http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/1511569.html How are you enjoying being an assistant coach? 你如何享受当一名助理教练？ I'm enjoying it. It's kind of an easy transition after playing basketball for so long. It's not playing, but it allows me to stay around the game and stay a part of it. 我很享受当助理教练。在打这麽久的球之後做转换很容易。并不是打球，但允许我成为 球赛的一部分。 Were you confident it would go this smoothly? 你很有自信会很顺利吗？ Not at all. I wasn't sure. I don't think I was ever one of those guys who necessarily always contemplated coaching. It was kind of an opportunity that presented itself. I was lucky to be able to take advantage of it. 一点也不。我不确定。我不认为我是一位总是深思熟虑的人。这是一个机会，我很幸 运能够得到这机会。 Now that you've retired, could you imagine going from playing to being away from basketball cold turkey? I think I could have. I think it probably would have been a little tougher transition. That's what's been such a blessing about this, that it made my transition easier from not playing. Especially coming into the season expecting to play. Late August was when I really came to peace with the fact that I wasn't going to be playing this year. 我想我可能可以。我想这可能有点难转换。我很幸运，这使得不打球後能够轻易地转换。 尤其是在预期要参加季赛时。八月底我很和平地面对我今年将不能打球。 What's been the biggest adjustment from player to assistant coach? That every night at about 6 o'clock, 6:15, your job is over instead of just beginning. That actual outlet of competing and coming up to the games. 每个晚上差不多6点，6:15，你的工作才正要开始。 Do you miss playing? Definitely. Definitely. Definitely. A lot. Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever not miss it. To add to that, more than just playing, I miss being 25 and playing. 当然。当然。当然。非常。老实说，我不知道我是否有不想过。我希望我是25岁，然後可 以打球。 How often have you thought about a comeback? I'm at peace with the fact that I did it as long as I could do it, I think I worked hard at it, I did physically all I could. 我接受这事实，只要我可能可以，我为此很努力训练，我做了我所能做的。 There are always teams that, as the playoffs get closer, look for that one last piece for a playoff push or a playoff run. Being a big man is even more attractive. What happens if your phone rings and somebody says, "You sure you don't want to give it another try?" 有很多球队会在当季後赛接近时，寻找能拚进季後赛或者在季後赛有所帮助的最後一块拼 图。大个子是更有魅力的。假若你的电话响起，某位人兄说「你确定你不想再试试？」， 会怎麽样？ I just really couldn't do it. I wish I could. If I could, I'd still be out here. 我真的没有办法。我希望我可以，如果我可以，我依然会去的。 How often do you play? Do you play pickup games? Do you play one-on-one against any of the guys? I guard them, but I haven't really played a pickup game. I go out before practice sometimes and shoot. I've played my son. But he's 6, so that doesn't really count. 我防守他们，但我还没玩过即兴比赛。我会在练习前出去。和我儿子打过，但他六岁，所 以那不真的算数。 Who won? 谁赢 I let him win like every 50 times. 我让他赢。 --
