hought he would
: get back every year and it never happened. I look at that and take that to
: heart. You never know when you’ll be with a team as talented and loaded as
: this.
    答：這是我這一生的好機會。你不可能每次都有這麼多的機會去爭取NBA總冠軍或接近
        至少離它很近，而我很高興是這強隊的一份子。我讀過D.Marino的書，他在菜鳥
        年就拿到NFL超級盃的錦標(應該是吧？)，他因此認為他以後每年都可以拿到它，
        不過事實從未如他所想。我看了之後把它牢記心中，你不會知道什麼時候你有機
        會身處一個具有天份而且已經準備好了的強隊當中。
: What you see as your role with the Rockets?
    答：你認為你將在球隊中扮演怎樣的腳色？
: RA: I bring energy. An up-tempo style of game. I can defend the ball. I’m
: coming here to do anything I’m not supposed to do. My role is to be just one
: of 11. I already have a feel for how these guys like to play. We have a lot of
: catch-and-shoot guys. Derek Anderson. David Wesley. Jon Barry. I know they like
: to come down and shoot the ball. McGrady can put it in from the parking lot. We
: can get Stromile Swift up and down the floor. Get him some easy buckets. I’m
: looking at getting out of the gates, but if we don’t have it I know how to
: pull it out and get us a great shot.
    答：我帶來活力，一種快節奏的比賽。在場上，我可以防守，可以做任何事，哪怕是原
        本其他人認為我做不到的，我的腳色就是球員名單中11人的其中一個。我已經感
        覺到這些傢伙喜歡怎麼樣打球，我們擁有很多拿了球就投的傢伙，例如：D.
        Anderson、D.Wesley和J.Barry，我知道他們喜歡拿了球就投，McGrady則可以從
        停車場把球投進籃框。我們可以讓S.Swift全場跑動，給他一些簡單的投籃機會。
        我看好火箭能一飛沖天，不過如果我們沒能做到，我知道如何幫忙推進，讓我們
        投進一個好球。
: Your first breakthrough as a player was on the And1 streetball tour. Do you
: like the fact that people still refer to your streetball reputation?
    答：你是在And1街頭籃球巡迴演出時有突破性的表現的，事實上，當人們一提到你時，
        還是馬上想到你在街頭籃壇的威名，你喜歡嗎？
: RA: Streetball is going to be something that sticks with me my entire life. I
: walk down the street in New York City and people will still call me “Skip.”
: They don’t even know my real name. Some think it’s my third year in the NBA
: and not my seventh. It’s a brand of basketball that fans throughout those
: cites – Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, of course New York – they’re familiar
: with that. They’re streetball guys. Last couple of years I’ve tried to make
: strides and make my mark and try to find my niche in this league. I just hope
: people recognize that.
    答：街頭籃球對我來說已經是我人生不可或缺的一部分了，我走在紐約街頭，仍然有人
        叫我"Skip"，而他們甚至不曉得我的本名。有些人認為本季只是我打NBA的第三年
        ，而事實上已經是第七年了。在遍佈芝加哥、底特律、洛杉磯，當然，還有紐約
        的球迷眼中，這就是我在籃壇的招牌，他們很熟悉這封號了，他們是街頭籃球員
        。過去幾年，我一直試著有長足的進步，在聯盟中打出自己的名號而且找到一個
        適合我的球隊，我只希望大家記得我的奮鬥過程。
: For some fans and those in the game it’s tough to get past the label. What’s
: more to your game than the And1 style?
    問：對你自己以及一些球迷來說，要撕掉過去的街頭籃球風格是很困難的，你能在場上
        提供一些不同於And1風格的東西嗎？
: RA: Every year I’ve added something to my game. I’ve toned it down. I’m able
: to run a team and control the offense. I’m able to defend guards and pick up
: even though I don’t have that big muscular frame. I’ve added the long ball to
: my game. Shoot the three. If I get it going, I can stroke four or five. I take
: pieces from other people’s game. I’ve added the floater in the lane. I try to
: improve each summer.
    答：每一年我持續磨練加強自己的球技，我已經調整好了。我有能力可以帶領一個球隊
        進攻。我可以防守後衛和補防(pick up？)，雖然我沒有一副強健的身材。我已經
        加長我的射程範圍，我可以投三分球，如果我抓到感覺，我可以投進四或五顆。
        我從觀察別人的比賽中學習，我已經增強了自己的實力，而且我每年夏天都試著
        變得更強。
: You’ve had to fight your way into the NBA from the bush leagues when many
: didn’t believe you had the discipline in your game to earn a permanent spot.
: How does that experience still impact your game?
    問：雖然很多人認為你沒能奉公守法，持續出場比賽並且贏得一個固定的出場機會，但
        你的確自次級聯盟開始努力，而且打進了NBA。那些經驗仍持續影響你的表現嗎？
: RA: It makes me humble. It makes me continue to work. I love playing throughout
: the summer. The road was brought on me by myself. I don’t encourage young kids
: to take the road I did, by no means. The mistakes I made coming out of high
: school not completing my core courses and forced to go to junior college
: (before landing at Fresno State). I’ve had to play catchup ever since but I
: can live with that and learn from it.
    答：那些往事使我更加謙虛，更努力打球。我喜歡一整個暑假休兵期間持續打球，這是
        我自己給自己選的路。我絕不鼓勵年輕的孩子走選擇跟我一樣的路。我所犯過的
        錯包括未能完成高中學業，所以只能進入專科學校打球(在加入Frenso州大前)。
        所以我必須和球季比較差的球員(番茄醬？)一起打球，還好我能忍受，而且試著
        從中學習。
