節錄一些 Watson 訪問提到的，非常遺憾他沒辦法幫助爵士在季後賽贏下一場
** Watson: My goal is to
stay in Utah as long as possible and retire as a Utah Jazz basketball player.
Growing up, Utah was always one of my favorite teams with Coach Sloan; John
Stockton, who I admire. He said my name on TV [when John attended the SAS game
on 4/9] and I tweeted it. I was like, “He knows me!” I knew he knew me because I
played against him, but it’s like John Stockton. It’s amazing…
Within five years, hopefully we’re putting up a banner at EnergySolutions,
Gordon Hayward’s the MVP, and I’m the old guy on the team that came in and
spelled them for a couple of minutes. Ten years from now, I obviously want to
coach and stay involved with the game ’cause I love it, whether it’s in the NBA
or college. Only God really knows my true path and avenue, so hopefully it’s
somewhere where I can influence and help kids.
** Watson: I would have
loved to play longer for Jerry Sloan. That’s my only regret in basketball, that
I wasn’t alive quick enough to play for he and Coach Hubie Brown. To me, they’re
two great people and they teach you a lot about life and basketball, and most
importantly how to be a man.
** Watson: Think about
the old Jazz teams with Malone and Stockton. They were not nice guys. They would
beat you up, and beat you, and then shake your hand after the game, and that’s
what we have to get to as a young team.
** Craig Bolerjack [爵士播報員] on why Corbin
won’t play Raja Bell: It’s a personal thing between the two. [Raja]
dresses. He’s available. He goes to shootaround. He’s on the bench. Ty chooses
not to use him. I guess that’s the message: “Look, you’re here. Fine. You’re
getting paid. If something would happen and I have to call your number, then I
expect you to be ready.” But I think the message is clear. “You’re on this team,
but I don’t need you.”
Moni [部落客]: If Corbin isn’t going to play Raja, the Jazz should’ve traded him or even
waived him. Players’ careers are finite, and Raja’s at or nearing the end of
his. The Jazz are wasting his time–and that’s not even considering the
possibility that Raja could actually help the Jazz in this series. Winning
should come before personal issues, and keeping him around so that he can “get
the message” is nothing more than a power trip.
GO JAZZ!!!
