Question 10 to Jazz Camp — Who is Earl Watson?

Numerous reports have the Jazz signing veteran point guard Earl Watson to
a contract. This is another sign the Jazz are committed to winning regardless
of the price tag. Watson becomes one of the most experienced back up point
guards the Jazz have signed. More often than not, the Jazz have taken
inexperienced and inexpensive players as the back up point guard.
Watson comes to the Jazz having started over 200 career games over his nine
year career including 52 last year in Indiana. I was fortunate enough to spend
the 06-07 season with Earl as the radio voice for the Seattle Supersonics.
The Jazz are getting a hard nosed kid out of the projects of Kansas City.
Watson plays with an edge and toughness that Jerry Sloan is going to like.
He is a defender. He battles for every possession. He understands the game and
plays hard every night.
瓦森的銳利及強悍球風將使教頭史隆的龍心大悅。他能防守，爭取拼搏每個球權，
他了解比賽並每一晚都竭盡全力。
Life has not been easy on Watson. His 17 year old brother was killed in a
car accident in 2004. Earls' arm tattooed with a sketch of his brother Eric.
Between 8th and 11th grade Watson had 5 friends killed. All of this has formed
Watson and his mindset. In 2006 he said, "The money we make is stupid," he
said. "If you play for the money, you lose yourself and have no identity.
I play for the love of the game, and I play to win.”
生命對瓦森並不仁慈。2004年，他17歲的兄弟在車禍中喪生，因此他的手臂上刺有其
弟Eric的畫像。在瓦森中學期間，先後有五名同學過世。這些生離死別改變了他的觀
念。2006年他曾說過：「光是賺錢是愚蠢的，如果你只是為了錢而打球，那你將失去
自我，失去認同。我是因為對比賽的熱愛而打球，為了勝利而執著。」
These tragic moments have also pushed Watson toward community involvement.
In Denver, he played Santa Earl to single mothers who couldn't afford presents
for their kids. Back home in Kansas City, he funds an entire summer basketball
league, the Earl Watson Youth Basketball League, for 6th, 7th and 8th grade
kids.
這些悲慘的時刻使得瓦森積極投入社區活動。在丹佛，他化身聖誕老人，替那些拮据
的單親媽媽送上孩子們的禮物。在他的家鄉堪薩斯城，他資助一個夏季籃球聯盟，以
其名字來命名的的青少年籃球營，為了六到八年級的孩子而舉辦。
On the floor, Watson was a 4 year starter, over 120 games, for Steve Lavin
at UCLA playing alongside good friend Baron Davis. Originally drafted by the
Supersonics in the 2nd round Watson made his mark immediately and played 64
games as a rookie. Watson signed with Memphis and played under Hubie Brown for
three years. In the off-season he signed with Denver, but was traded to the
Sonics at the trade deadline and played with the Sonics/Thunder for the next
4 years.
Too often in Watson's career he has gone to a place where the point guard
position was in flux. In turn, Watson has often been frustrated feeling he
deserves a larger role. In Memphis he battled with Jason Williams, in Denver
with Andre Miller, in Seattle with Luke Ridnour and in Indiana with TJ Ford.
Many times Watson's stay with his team has ended in dispute.
However, in Utah his role should be more clearly defined with Deron as
the definite leader and point guard. At 31, wit 9 years experience, having
not been on a winning team since the 04-05 season with the MemphisGrizzlies,
Watson clearly is looking for a spot on a winner. His toughness and veteran
savvy adds to an ever improving Jazz bench.
In my next entry I will discuss how he will help the Jazz and why the Jazz
made the move.
