$104,765 for Michael Jordan's shoes
紅色光頭的實戰球鞋以美金104,765賣出(約台幣3百14萬)
The shoes Michael Jordan wore in his famous "Flu Game" sold for $104,765
early Thursday morning, shattering the record price paid for a pair of
game-worn shoes in any sport.
神在他經典的重感冒戰役(1997年和爵士冠軍戰第五場，他得了流感)穿的鞋，以超過
美金10萬元在星期四早上賣出，售價打破歷史上任何一種運動中球員穿的實戰鞋售價。
The shoes, brought to the market by Grey Flannel Auctions and consigned by
former Utah Jazz ball boy Preston Truman, were worn by Jordan during Game 5
of the 1997 NBA Finals in which Jordan scored 38 points for the Chicago Bulls
despite laboring up and down the court from feeling sick that day.
鞋子是在競標網站Grey Flannel Auctions拍賣，賣家是前爵士隊球童(或球場助理，
基本上是各位看到在賽前練習時幫球員餵球，清理球員板凳區，或是球員摔倒，拿拖把
出來整理場地，甚至賽前賽後整理球員休息室，打包球員球衣的那些人)鞋子是老喬在
1997年和爵士爭冠第五戰中，生病的同時拿下38分的比賽中所穿的鞋。
The identity of the winning bidder was not immediately made public, but the
amount paid blew away the previous record paid for a pair of game-used shoes,
which were also worn by Jordan. A collector paid $31,070 just last month for
a pair that Jordan wore in his rookie season.
得標者的身分並沒有立刻被公開，但金額卻打破上一次金額的記錄，同樣是老喬。
一個收集者上個月付了美金3萬1買了一雙老喬在新人球季穿的鞋。
Truman was able to secure the shoes, after developing a relationship with
Jordan, which started when he says he one day fetched Jordan's traditional
pregame applesauce during the 1996-97 season.
Truman之所以能夠得這雙鞋，是因為他和老喬所建立的關係，而這關係是建立在
他某天替老喬在96-97球季賽前準備的傳統蘋果醬。
When Jordan came back to Utah for the Finals that year, Truman says he
brought Jordan applesauce even though Jordan wasn't in an eating mood. While
Jordan was said to be suffering flu-like symptoms, Jordan's trainer Tim
Grover said years later that he was sure it was from food poisoning from a
pizza Jordan ate the night before.
當光頭當年為了冠軍戰回到猶他，Truman說他給老喬帶了一些蘋果醬，即使當時的喬神
並沒有食慾。喬神有一些類似流行感冒的徵狀(看原文suffering，可能滿嚴重的)，喬神
的訓練員Tim Grover多年後說他很確定是喬神是因位前晚吃的pizza而食物中毒。
After the game, which put the Bulls up 3-2 and one game from winning their
fifth title, Jordan gave Truman his shoes from the game.
比賽結束後，公牛取得3-2的領先，離第五冠只差一場勝利。賽後神給了Truman那雙球
鞋。
Besides the story, Truman provided the auction with a photo of Jordan signing
the shoes for him that night, which matched the suit from pictures of him
leaving the Delta Center.
除此之外，Truman還在競標中提供了喬神替他在鞋子上簽名的照片。
"I think my photo that Jordan's bodyguard took with me standing there drove
up the price because buyers didn't have to worry if they were real," Truman
told ESPN.com.
Truman表示，照片上和他一起的喬神保鑣提高了鞋子的價值，因為買家完全不用擔心
這雙鞋的真偽。
Photos from the game and of the broadcast also showed Truman taking care of
the Bulls bench.
照片中也顯示Truman負責整理公牛隊的板凳區。
Even though Truman said he secured many pairs of game-used shoes from players
during his seasons as a ball boy, he said he did it for the challenge instead
of as a collector. Never getting attached to the shoes themselves made them
easier to sell.
Truman在球場助理生涯中收集過多雙球員實戰鞋，他說他並不是為了收集而收集，而是
想要挑戰。這個挑戰是，他不要愛(珍惜)上任何一雙鞋所以他可以比較容易賣掉這些鞋。
(基本上就是要挑戰不對鞋子有感情導致捨不得出售他們)
"I have looked at the shoes maybe four times since putting them in a safety
deposit box 16 years ago," Truman said. "I would go years without even
thinking about it. ... I just didn't see the point to something so cool and a
part of NBA history sitting at my bank anymore."
Truman說，16年前在他把鞋子放進銀行保險箱前他大概欣賞了那雙鞋四次。他說他覺得
把這個這麼酷又屬於NBA歷史的一部分擺在銀行保險箱再也沒有一點意義。
The pair of size 13 shoes are also autographed by Jordan.
這雙13號球鞋上也有老喬的親筆簽名。
About five years ago, Truman thought about parting with the shoes, so he
provided Christie's auction house with the details. After they came back with
an estimate of $5,000, Truman put them back at the bank. This year, a friend
convinced him to put them on the market and the estimate was more bullish
from Grey Flannel, who sold a pair of game-used rookie Air Jordans for
$21,780.
Truman大約五年前就想賣掉這雙鞋。他將資料提供給另外一個競標網站Christie's
Auction。結果網站預估鞋子值5000美金，於是他打消這個念頭。今天他的朋友說服他
再次拍賣，而這次他所透過競標網站給他遠超過上次的預估。這個網站就是
Grey Flannel，以美金約2萬1賣掉期中一雙喬神新人年的球鞋。
Online bidding for these shoes started at $5,000 last month and, after 15
bids, topped the $100,000 mark.
15個月前這雙鞋以底價5000美金開始競標，15月後最高出價到10萬美金。
Truman said the proceeds of the auction won't go to anything "overly
exciting," besides the usual college education fund for his children and car
payments.
Truman除了他可以把這筆錢做為孩子未來的大學基金和付車子的錢外。他不會為了這個
結果太過興奮，
Although he says selling the shoes was never about the money, he has another
revenue stream for the future: a pair of game-used shoes Jordan wore in the
1998 Finals.
雖然他說賣鞋不是為了賺錢，但他的未來還有另外一項收益，另一雙老喬在98年冠軍戰
的實戰鞋。
