艰难的客场之旅
2006-12-08 16:04:23
Hello!
As I write this, we are getting ready to play the Minnesota Timberwolves, led by Kevin Garnett. This is the first long road trip that we have madethis year and will prove to be a good test for our improving team. I believe that I have the best job in the world, playing basketball in the NBA. I get to wake up every day and live my dream. I know I am lucky and blessed.
Many of my friends laugh at me when I tell them that playing in the NBA is more difficult than you may believe and from what you see on television or read from newspaper. The most difficult part of our job is probably our schedule with all the travel that comes with the job.
Here is a slice in the week of a road trip on the NBA. Hopefully you will understand that the NBA is a difficult job!
Tuesday 7:30 pm - Play the Golden St. Warriors, depart after the game.
Wednesday 2:00 am - Arrive in Minneapolis (I usually don't fall asleep until 3:00 am after games too!)
Wednesday 4:00 pm - Team meeting to discuss the Timberwolves
Wednesday 7:00 pm - Play Minnesota Timberwolves, depart after game
Thursday 2:30 am - Arrive in Charlotte (we usually have a recuperation day >after back to back games)
Friday 10:00 am - Practice for Charlotte Bobcats
Friday 7:00 pm - Play Charlotte Bobcats, depart after game
Saturday 1:00 am - Arrive in Washington DC
Saturday 4:00 pm - Team Meeting to discuss Washington Wizards
Saturday 7:30 am - Play Washington Wizards, depart after game
Sunday 2:00 am - Arrive in Houston
Whew! I am tired just thinking about it! As you can see, we have a lot of late nights and long flights. This is only one week in the NBA!! Imagine 30 weeks just like this. Like I said earlier, however, I wouldn't trade this job for any other job in the world.
Wish me good luck this week, I will check back in aft |
