Shaquille O’Neal Almost Played Football, Instead Of Basketball

O'Neal 說他本來是打美式橄欖球的

"I actually started out playing football," he said.

"I was a hell of a tight end. As you know, I have wonderful hands,
my hands are impeccable, and I like to punish people. But then a guy
your size, hit me in my knee one day, I was all bummed out, and my dream
came true. I was sitting on the couch and Jon Koncak signs for $15 million
for three years. I was thinking, 'If I can make $5 million doing the
basketball thing, I think I am going to switch up now ... true story."

“事實上，一開始我是打美式橄欖球的，”

“我是個極佳的邊鋒，如你所知道的，我有一雙驚人的完美的大手，我喜歡用它
去折磨其他人。不過有一天，一個像你這樣身材的人撞到了我的膝蓋，那讓我十分的
沮喪。我坐在沙發上，然後看到 Jon Koncak 簽下了一份3年1500萬美元的合同，
我當時想，如果打籃球能讓我每年掙500萬美元，我認為我應該改變一下……
這是一個真實的故事。”

"I don't even care," coach Brett Brown said of the record.

"I don't even think about it. We are trying to grow young players.
How many [losing] streaks have I been a part of? I'm numb to it.
I'm truly numb to it.

76人隊繼續輸下去可能會締造一些新紀錄，對此，主帥 Brett Brown 表示

“我一點也不關心，”

“我甚至不會去想那些，我們在努力培養年輕球員，
我們已經經歷了多少的連敗？對此我真的已經麻木了。”
