TNT has signed Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny
Smith to multi-year extensions to continue on Inside The NBA.
TNT與Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith簽下複數年
合約, 他們將繼續待在Inside The NBA.
The news is particularly significant given Barkley has told Sports
Illustrated repeatedly over the years that he thought it would be a struggle
to complete his current contract when it expired in 2016.
這是個重要的消息, Barkley這幾年來好幾次告訴<<運動畫刊>>, 他覺得, 當自己的合約在
2016到期時, 走完他將會有些掙扎.
"Anyone who works past 60 is an idiot (laughs),” Barkley said to SI.com last
month. “I want to travel the world. Listen, man, if people want to keep
working that’s fine. But there is going to come an age when you can’t do
stuff and have fun. So why would I want to keep working until the day I die?
You should save your money. Learn to tell your family and friends no. One of
the great travesties in sports is 70% of professional athletes go broke. It’
s a joke and it pisses me off. But I tell all my friends who don’t play
sports, 'Who wants to work when you are 65 or 70?' Sixty is my magic number.
I just turned 52 and I’m not working past 60.”
"過六十歲卻還在工作的人都是笨蛋(笑)," Barkley在上個月告訴<<運動畫刊>>. "我想
要環遊世界. 聽著, 假如人們想一直工作, 那沒問題. 但到了有一定的年紀你就無法做
事及玩樂. 所以為什麼我要工作到死為止呢? 你應該存自己的錢. 學習向家人及朋友說不.
體育界中最被嘲弄的事之一就是, 70%的職業運動員會破產. 這是個笑話,而這讓我很不爽.
我告訴不是運動員的家人與朋友, '到了65或70歲, 你還會想工作嗎?' 60是個神奇的
數字. 我才剛滿52歲, 過了60歲我就不會再工作了."
Turner said Inside the NBA is frequently the second most-watched program on
cable throughout the NBA playoffs, trailing only live game coverage.
Turner(TNT)表示, Inside The NBA 是季後賽觀看次數第二高的有線電視節目, 緊跟在
球賽轉播之後.
