Isaiah Thomas says he played through the injury that cost him a $200,000,000 sup ermax, nobody warned him it could end his career. One year later, he signed for$2M
“I get traded to Cleveland. I’m upset because at that point I put my career on the line for something, you could’ve just broke down to me and told me: if you do play, or if we do this, it could possibly be what it happened to be None of that was stated.”
“It took me three years to really get back to who I am. It was a tough situatio n, a learning experience for myself. I got real love for Boston and everybody in that organization, I’m not blaming Boston, I’m not blaming those guys, people know what happened, it’s documented.”
“It sucks, because so much was on the line. If I got All-NBA that following yea r, I’m a super max guy, I’m eligible for the super max. So all of that is in p lay. That sucks… but you live and you learn. That hurt, because I put my career on the line. And then you trade me too.”
“That year… I always say that was the best year of my career and the worst yea r of my life at the same time. Let that sink in. I lost my sister, almost had a career-ending injury, lost out on some big bread.”
Isaiah Thomas 表示,他當年帶傷上陣,結果毀了他價值 2 億美元的超級頂薪合約,而且當時沒有人警告他這可能會終結他的職業生涯。一年後,他僅以 200 萬美元簽約。「我被交易到克里夫蘭。我很難過,因為那時候我是冒著職業生涯的風險在拼命,你們原本可以跟我把話說清楚,告訴我:如果你繼續打,或者如果我們這樣做,有可能會演變成後來的後果。但當時完全沒有人跟我說明這些。」「我花了整整三年的時間才真正找回自我。那是一個很艱難的處境,對我來說也是一個學習的經驗。我對波士頓和那個球隊裡的每個人都抱持著真摯的愛,我沒有在責怪波士頓,也沒有在怪那些人,大家都知道發生了什麼事,這都是有紀錄的。」「這真的很糟糕,因為當時有太多東西牽涉其中了。如果我隔年入選年度最佳陣容(All-NBA),我就是超級頂薪的球員,我有資格拿超級頂薪。所以這一切本來都是有機會的。這很令人心痛……但人總是在經驗中學習。這很傷人,因為我是拿我的職業生涯去賭,結果你們竟然還把我交易掉。」「那一年……我總說那是我職業生涯最好的一年,但同時也是我人生中最糟糕的一年。大家可以細品這句話。我失去了我的妹妹,經歷了幾乎終結生涯的傷勢,還錯失了一大筆財富。」
短評或心得:
即便是綠賽迷
大概多數也都覺得當年辜負了矮湯
不過今年也重新回到賽爾提克擔任球探
