像後衛一樣敏捷的大個子 Dolph Schayes 享年87歲


SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes, a 12-time All-Star who refined
the big man's role in the infancy of the National Basketball Association, has
died. He was 87.

Schayes was diagnosed with terminal cancer six months ago and died Thursday
after being stricken with a severe infection, his son Danny Schayes said.

入選12次明星賽的名人堂成員 Dolph Schayes，是 NBA早期的大個子球員於昨天逝世，
享年87歲。Schayes的孩子(Danny Schayes)說，六個月前他被診斷出癌症，昨天因為
癌症擴散，身體不堪侵蝕辭世了。

Dolph Schayes was the franchise player for the Syracuse Nationals from
1948-1963 and was voted one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history. He
revolutionized the post position, always in perpetual motion instead of just
planting himself in the paint.

"Dolph Schayes was one of the most influential figures in NBA history," NBA
commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday in a statement. "He helped the NBA
grow from its earliest days, emerging as one of the game's first stars and
displaying the kind of passion for competition and commitment to excellence
that has come to define our league.

"Dolph was an NBA champion, a Hall of Fame player and a distinguished NBA
coach and executive, as well as a proud father who relished the success of
his four children, including the NBA career of his son Danny. Our thoughts
and prayers are with the Schayes family during this difficult time."

Dolph Schayes是1948~1963年 雪城國民隊的看板球星，1996年也被票選為50大球星，
當年他在油漆區不斷的跑動，而不是杵在同個位置，他為前場球員的打法做了變革。

聯盟主席Adam Silver說，「Dolph Schayes在 NBA歷史上是最具有影響力的人之一，
他幫助了 NBA早期比賽的發展，誕生一場比賽的頭號球星、呈現當時比賽熱情，以及
發揮他的長處，為我們聯盟擔下行政方面的責任。」

「Dolph 曾經是 NBA冠軍成員、名人堂球星、出色的教練以及待過裁判執委會，也是
個受人尊敬的父親，他四個孩子包括打過 NBA 18年的 Danny Schayes。我們為 Schayes
的家庭祈禱，共同度過這個艱苦的時刻。」

As a 16-year-old freshman center, Schayes led New York University to the NCAA
Final Four. He played his entire 16-season career with the Syracuse
franchise, scoring 18,438 points and snaring 11,256 rebounds from 1949-64.

The 6-foot-8 Schayes was a seminal figure in the game. With a deadly
two-handed, high-arcing set shot that he stubbornly used well into the era of
the jump shot, he helped redefine the big man in the NBA.

當 Schayes 還是個16歲的年輕中鋒，他就帶領紐約大學打進 NCAA Finals，整個16年的
NBA 生涯都效力於雪城，並總共得了18438分(#58)、11256個籃板(#26)。

6呎8吋高的 Schayes 是草創性的人物，當年高舉高打的投射有不錯的命中率，使他為
聯盟長人重新定義打法。

他是首位拿下15000分、出賽996場的人，1963年退休，18438分還排在第二，11256個籃板
也高居第三

Schayes grew up in the Bronx during the Great Depression and delivered
laundry for cash. He honed his game in the schoolyards of Junior High 79 and
DeWitt Clinton High School.

"When we played basketball I did everything. I passed, I dribbled, I played
outside," said Schayes, who was 6-5 at age 11.

The New York Knicks chose Schayes fourth in the 1948 Basketball Association
of America draft and the Tri-Cities Blackhawks picked him first in the
National Basketball League draft before trading his rights to Syracuse.

After winning NBA rookie of the year honors in 1949, Schayes led the
Nationals in scoring for 12 straight seasons and helped lead the team to its
lone NBA title in 1955, becoming the first player in NBA history to score
15,000 points.

Schayes 在紐約市 Bronx 成長，當年美國經濟大蕭條，被送到一間洗衣店賺錢生活，
國、高中時期開始磨練他的籃球。

11歲的時候，他就長到6呎5吋，他說「當我們打球時，我在場上做所有事，傳球、控球、
打法也能在外線。」

1948年選秀會，紐約尼克在第四順位選了他，同時也被另一個籃球聯盟的三城黑鷹隊
選上，但黑鷹隊破產解散後，又交易他到雪城國民隊。

1949年獲選為 NBA年度最佳新秀，連續12年是國民隊的主要得分手。1955年，他幫助球隊
奪冠，也成為 NBA史上第一位得分15000分的球員。

"Dolph is a legendary figure in Syracuse," said Jim Boeheim, longtime coach
of the Syracuse Orange. "He was an all-time great, great player. His camp had
a big influence on me."

When the Nationals moved to Philadelphia in 1963, Schayes was named
player-coach of the 76ers. He retired as a player after the season, but
stayed on as coach for three more seasons and was named NBA coach of the year
in 1966 with Wilt Chamberlain, Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.

雪城大學的資深教練 Jim Boeheim 說，「Dolph 在雪城是位傳奇人物，他是個永垂不朽
的偉大球員，他辦的訓練營深深影響我。」

1963年，雪城國民隊搬到費城，Dolph 也被提名為七六人的教練。當年他一退休就留隊
繼續擔任三年教練，1966年在他執教下，與張伯倫、Hal Greer 以及 Billy Cunningham
拿下聯盟最佳的55勝25負，Dolph1因此被評為年度最佳教練。

From 1966-70, Schayes was supervisor of NBA referees and went into real
estate in his adopted hometown of Syracuse after retiring. He was elected to
the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1973 and also was a member of the
U.S. National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

The "NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time Team" poster features Schayes, along with
Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, John Havlicek and Magic Johnson.

Schayes is survived by his wife, four children and nine grandchildren. A
funeral is scheduled for Monday.

1966年至1970年，他轉任聯盟裁判的監察委員，退休後從事故鄉雪城的房產業。1973年，
獲選「Naismith籃球名人堂」和「美國猶太人運動界名人堂」

(James Naismith是籃球發明人)

1996年，NBA 50大球星也與 Michael Jordan、Larry Bird、John Havlicek 和
Magic Johnson 等人名列其中。
