一位母親的童話故事被她的雇主給破壞了 - NBA

NEW YORK (AP) — Tyneeha Rivers walked into Barclays Center for the NBA draft
with her son, Mikal Bridges.

紐約（美聯社） - Tyneeha Rivers與她的兒子Mikal Bridges一起步入巴克萊中心參加
NBA選秀。

Like any parent, she was full of emotions: pride, excitement — just a bundle
of nerves.

像任何父母一樣，她充滿了個各種情緒：驕傲，興奮 或者緊張。

But Rivers had somewhat of a parental advantage, she works for an NBA team,
the Philadelphia 76ers. So when her son — who starred at Villanova — was
taken by the 76ers with the 10th overall pick, she couldn't believe it.

但Rivers有特別的優勢，她為NBA球隊費城76人隊工作,擔任76人隊人事部副總管。
所以當她的兒子被第10順位的76人選中時，她簡直喜極而涕。

It's amazing" Rivers, vice president of human relations for the 76ers, said
in an ESPN interview with her son sitting in front of her wearing a 76ers
baseball cap after he was drafted. "It's an experience I'll never forget. I'm
so excited he's coming home to be part of our Sixers family. It's amazing.

“這真是太神奇了”Rivers在ESPN採訪時說，“這是一個我永遠都不會忘記的經歷，
我非常興奮，他回到家了，成為我們76人隊的一員，這真是太棒了。

Unfortunately, it was a fleeting moment, thanks to the sometimes cruel
business side of basketball.

不幸的是，這是一個稍縱即逝的時刻，這要感謝職業籃球有時候很殘酷的商業操作。

And though the storybook ending lasted only a few minutes for Rivers, she and
her son didn't walk away empty handed.

雖然童話的結局只持續了幾分鐘，但她和她的兒子並沒有空手而歸。

After all, being a top-10 pick in the NBA draft is something to celebrate —
in Philadelphia or Phoenix.

畢竟，在NBA選秀中成為前10名的選秀是值得慶祝的 - 不論在費城或鳳凰城。
