Manu Ginobili #20 Spurs
Number 20 wasn’t the number of his boyhood idol. It isn’t the day of the
month his first-born was born. And it isn’t the number his father wore and
passed down to his son.
20號不是他幼年偶像的背號。不是他的第一個孩子出生的日期，也不是他父親穿過的號
碼。
“I guess you could just say I like the way it looks,” said Manu Ginobili,
starting shooting guard for the San Antonio Spurs. “The interesting story is
how I came to wear the No. 20 in the first place.”
「可以說只是因為我喜歡它看起來的樣子，」Manu Ginobili 說。「有趣的是為什麼我開
始穿20號。」
Ginobili was signed by the San Antonio Spurs on July 18, 2002, after several
seasons spent in the Italian league. At the press conference to announce his
signing, he actually held up a jersey with the No. 6 on it.
2002年7月18日，在義大利聯盟打了幾年球的 Ginobili 加盟了馬刺隊。記者會時，他高
舉6號球衣。
“The only two numbers I have ever worn in my career were No. 6 and No.10. [The
Spurs] originally gave me No. 6, but that was only one season after [Dallas
Head Coach and former Spurs point guard] Avery Johnson had left the Spurs, and
there was an outcry from the fans who supported Avery in San Antonio," says
Ginobli.
「來到這裡之前，我只穿過6號和10號。馬刺隊一開始給了我6號，可是離隊不久的 Avery-
Johnson 的球迷向我吼叫，要我不要穿他的背號。」
Not wanting to start off his NBA career on a bad note in a new city, Ginobili
willingly gave up the No. 6 and asked instead for the No. 10. The Spurs,
however, had other ideas.
不想在展開 NBA 生涯的新城市讓人留下不好的印象，Ginobili 樂於放棄6號。被問到是
否會以10號代替時，馬刺卻有了新動作。
“[The Spurs] told me that they had just given No.10 to Speedy Claxton (signed
June 26, 2002) a couple weeks before, so at that point I really didn’t have a
preference. So like I said before, I guess I thought that the No. 20 just
looked good, so that’s what I took!”
「他們告訴我10號已經給了兩個禮拜前簽下的 Speedy Claxton 了。而那時我也沒有特別
偏好的數字。所以就像我之前說的，20號只是看起來順眼一點，於是就選了它。」
Marcus Banks #3 Timberwolves
For guard Marcus Banks, January’s trade to the Timberwolves reunited him with
an old friend, his jersey number 3. “I’d worn 3 all through my career,
basically all my life,” Banks told us.
一月被交易至灰狼的後衛 Marcus Banks 再度和一個老朋友重逢，而這個老友就是他的背
號3號。「我的整個職業生涯都會穿3號，基本上我一輩子都會是3號。」Banks 跟我們說。
In Boston, number 3 is retired for Dennis Johnson, so Banks wore number 11. “
Because that was the smallest number they had", says Banks.
在波士頓時，因為3號是退休的 Dennis Johnson 的背號，所以 Banks 穿11號。「因為這
是他們剩下的號碼裡最小的數字」Banks 說。
Number 3 is special to Banks because of its significance to his family. “It’s
a spiritual thing that me and my mother had.” Banks said that the spiritual
meaning of number 3 was, “the son, the father, and the holy ghost,” which is
also a prayer ritual he goes through before each game.
對 Banks 來說，3號是很特別的，因為它的意義來自於他的家庭。「這是我和我媽的心靈
寄託。」，Banks 解釋說就是「the son, the father, and the holy ghost」，這也是
他賽前一定會做的祈禱儀式。
