Kris Humphries Officially Announces Retirement
March 26th 2019 at 4:00pm CST by Luke Adams
Veteran NBA big man Kris Humphries hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since the
2016/17 season and hasn’t shown up on the pages of Hoops Rumors since being
waived by the Sixers in October 2017. However, he had yet to formally
announce his retirement as an NBA player — until now.
自從2016-17賽季後，Kris Humphries就不曾出現在NBA賽場上。
2017年10月被七六人裁掉後，也沒有傳出他退休的消息，直到今天為止。
“Today, I’m officially retired from the NBA,” Humphries wrote in an
introspective piece for The Players’ Tribune. In the article, which is worth
checking out in full, the 34-year-old says he’s officially walking away from
the game after “13 good years.”
『今天，我正式從NBA退休了。』
現年34歲的Humphries在《The Players' Tribune》發表文章，
宣布自己在渡過了13年美好時光後正式退休。
The 14th overall pick in the 2004 draft, Humphries appeared in a total of 800
regular season games for the Jazz, Raptors, Mavericks, Nets, Celtics,
Wizards, Suns, and Hawks. For his career, he averaged 6.7 PPG and 5.4 RPG in
17.8 minutes per contest, with his best years coming as a Net from 2010-12.
2004年選秀會上第一輪第14順位被爵士挑中，生涯打過800場例行賽，
待過爵士、暴龍、小牛、籃網、賽爾提克、巫師、太陽、老鷹。
生涯場均上場17.8分鐘，貢獻6.7分5.4籃板。
最好成績是在籃網的2010-2012。
Humphries played in the postseason six times, though he was never part of a
deep playoff run. His best postseason stint came in 2015/16 when he averaged
9.3 PPG and 6.0 RPG in four games (14.0 MPG) for an Atlanta team that
advanced to the second round.
Humphries生涯打過6次季後賽，儘管從來不是季後賽主力輪換陣容。
季後賽最好成績出現在2015-16，出賽4場，場均上場14分鐘，可貢獻9.3分6.0籃板。
Of course, as Humphries addresses within his Players’ Tribune article,
outside of NBA circles he was known and recognized primarily for his
relationship with Kim Kardashian, which ended in 2011.
當然，正如Humphries在《The Players' Tribune》上所說的，
在NBA賽場外，他最知名的事蹟主要是在2011年和社交名媛 Kim Kardashian 結婚。
Humphries is the second 34-year-old big man to formally confirm his
retirement from the NBA within the last few days. Al Jefferson was the other.
Humphries是最近幾天內第二位正式宣布退休的老將，另一位是Al Jefferson。

節錄幾段有趣的...
1.
He was my idol, but he was so cool that I got comfortable enough to start
joking around with him in practice. Then, one day, we were laughing about
something, and Rick Carlisle turns to me out of nowhere and goes, “Hey
Humphries, don’t do that.”
Dirk Nowitzki是我的偶像，有一次我在練習中和Dirk開玩笑，
當時Rick Carlisle教練走過來跟我說：「嘿，Humphries，別這樣做。」
I said, “Do what, coach?”
我說：『教練，你指的是啥事？』
He said, “You don’t joke around with Dirk.”
Carlisle：「不要跟Dirk開玩笑。」
I said, “But we’re just … we’re just having fun, Coach.”
我說：『但...我們只是玩笑啊，教練。』
He said, “No. Dirk has fun. You don’t have fun. You need to focus. Dirk? He
doesn’t even need to practice. He’s f****** Dirk.”
Carlisle：「不，Dirk可以玩笑，你不行，你需要專注。
Dirk？他根本不用訓練，他可是TMD的Dirk耶！」
I don’t think I said a word or smiled for about two weeks. It was perfect
advice for me, because they traded me to the Nets that season.
接下來兩個禮拜我都沒說話也沒笑過，然後那個賽季我就被交易到籃網了。
2.
There were so many times when I was in a gas station just buying a water or
something, and the cashier would give me a look, and I could just feel it
coming.
“Hey, are you … That Guy?”
And I’d say, “Ha! Nah, I just look like him.”
Or I’d say, “Nah, I’m Blake Griffin. People get us confused.”
和Kim Kardashian離婚後，有好幾次我在加油站買瓶水或啥的時候，
店員看你的眼神好像在說『嘿，你就是...那傢伙嗎？』
我會說：「哈，我不是，我只是看起來像他。」
又或者我會說：「不是，我是Blake Griffin啦，大家總是將我們兩個搞混。」
