The title on his business card reads: Basketball Operations Executive
Assistant.
現在他名片上的頭銜是籃球事務執行助理。
But to most Kings fans he's the personification of toughness, a reminder of
the Sacramento teams that were playoff contenders.
但對大部分的國王球迷來說他是強硬的化身，是國王光輝年代的僅存者。
These days, Bobby Jackson is using the same hustle and grit that made him the
NBA's Sixth Man of the Year as a King to learn the ropes in an NBA front
office.
這些日子Bobby用同樣的拚勁和膽量在學習著制服組的事務。
Jackson, in his first season of retirement, is enjoying life as a basketball
operations executive assistant. He's learning about scouting, the salary cap
and all things that give general managers headaches.
在他退休的第一年，正在享受著當籃球事務執行助理。他在學當球探、薪資空間和所有會
讓GM頭疼的事。
But for tonight, the Kings will take the time to honor Jackson in the role in
which fans came to know him best.
但今晚，國王將要讓Bobby重溫舊夢。
The Kings will hold Bobby Jackson Night when they host the San Antonio Spurs
at Arco Arena. The first 10,000 fans will receive a Jackson poster. There
will be video tributes from his playing days and community work, along with
comments from former teammates.
今晚對馬刺時將是Bobby日，前一千名球迷將會收到Bobby的海報。也會有收錄他打球日子
和在社區工作以及前隊友對他的話的影片。
Jackson spent six of his 12 NBA seasons in Sacramento, including when he won
the Sixth Man of the Year Award for the 2002-03 season.
Bobby在國王渡過他12年當中的6年，也包括他拿下年度最佳第六人的02-03球季。
Jackson was humbled by the honor.
Bobby非常謙卑。
"I would have never thought I'd have my own day in the NBA," he said Monday.
「我從未想過我會在NBA有自己的日子」
Since announcing his retirement last October, Jackson hasn't been sitting
around waiting to be recognized. He's immersed himself in scouting.
自從去年十月退休後，Bobby還沒閒過，他正忙於偵查。
Jackson took at least two trips a month around the country to watch college
basketball games in preparation for this year's NBA draft.
Bobby一個月至少要跑兩趟去看大學比賽，為了今年選秀準備。
And he's asking a lot of questions, trying to get a better understanding of
front-office decisions.
他問了很多的問題，試著對於制服組的決定有更好的理解。
"I'm trying to dabble in everything," Jackson said. "What I want to do is
hopefully one day become a GM or president of basketball operations or
assistant GM or director of player personnel.
「我正試著涉獵每件事情，我想做的就是有一天可以當GM或者籃球事務總裁或助理GM或球
員人事主管」Bobby說
"But I know one of those positions takes time, and you've got to learn the
business first."
「但我知道都很花時間，而你必須首先學習這些事務」
Jackson isn't the first player with front-office aspirations. But a lot of
players don't have the patience to put in the time to climb the ladder in
management.
Bobby不是第一個球員來幹制服組的，但很多球員都沒有耐心慢慢往上爬。
When the Kings are on the road and he's not watching the team practice, he's
watching video and picking the minds of Kings basketball president Geoff
Petrie, general manager Wayne Cooper and the rest of the staff.
當國王到客場時他不是在看球隊練習，而是在看影片，然後學習Petrie、Cooper和其他人
的精華。
In his new career, Jackson's work habits haven't diminished.
在他新的生涯中，Bobby的工作習慣並沒有消失。
"One thing that I always believe is that if a guy is a worker he's a worker,"
Cooper said. "Guys that work hard as players work hard off the court. That's
the same thing with Bobby. He only knows how to do it one way and that's what
you have to do."
「我認為如果某個人是工人，那他就會是工人。當球員時很認真，在場下也會很認真，
Bobby就是這樣，他只知道一種方式去完成他，而那就是你必須去做的」Cooper說
Jackson said the hardest part of the job is understanding the salary cap. But
he doesn't hesitate to ask about cap ramifications of trades and how the
Kings might be able to make money on a deal.
Bobby說最難的工作就是去了解薪資空間(我了解，CBA真的很難懂啊...)。但他毫不猶豫地
去問關於交易複雜的東西和國王如何在一次交易中賺到錢。
"I'm a very inquisitive person," Jackson said. "I always want to know what's
going on around me. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing that? They take
my input. They may use it, they may not use it. But you can't be a yes-sir
guy."
「我是個很好奇的人，我總是想要知道周遭的事，為什麼我們要做這個？為什麼我們要做
那個？他們也許會用它，也許不會，但你不能當個只會說是的人」Bobby說
When Jackson retired he also took on the role of Kings ambassador.
當Bobby退休時，他也擔任國王大使的角色。
He spends 45 minutes with fans and sponsors at home games. When Jackson isn't
traveling, he appears at community events.
他在主場比賽時花了45分鐘和球迷與贊助商在一起。當Bobby沒有外出，他就會在社區事
務出現。
Aside from being an eager learner in the scouting department, the Kings are
pleased that Jackson continues to work in the community.
除了在球探事務很熱誠外，國王也很開心Bobby持續在社區中工作。
"I love doing those types of things and giving back," Jackson said. "But my
main focus is to learn the business side of basketball."
「我很愛做這類型的事，但我最主要的就是學習籃球事務」
Jackson looks the part of a Kings executive when he's at practice. He's not
in gym shorts waiting to give the team some competition. He admits he
"probably wouldn't last two minutes" trying to run the floor, and has taken
up boxing for exercise.
當他在練習時看起來像是國王制服組的一員，他不會穿上熱身服跟球隊練習，他承認他
也許撐不到兩分鐘。
Jackson sits on the sideline, much like Petrie or Cooper would, taking in the
play. Jackson likes the improvement he has seen in the Kings, but doesn't
have any desire to go on the court at all.
Bobby坐在旁邊，就像Petrie或Cooper一樣。Bobby喜歡他所看到的國王的進步，但完全不
想上場。
He's too busy taking what he knows about basketball and applying it to his
new career.
他太忙了。
"I have the knowledge," Jackson said. "What I don't have is what it takes to
put the whole product together. And that's something I'm willing to work on
and learn."
「我有知識，我所沒有的是將所有東西融合在一起，那就是我現在願意去努力和學習的」
==================================================
酷，希望以後可以看到Bobby總管，不過一下子沒練就虛成這樣 XDDDDDDD
