Where Are They Now? The 2004-05 Los Angeles Lakers http://bit.ly/1vLJ3LL 前言：大概1個多月前就看到這篇文章，勾起我很多回憶，這兩天沒比賽，加上老大又被中外媒體酸到飛起來，這幾天隨手翻了一下，有些地方翻不好的再請包容 The 2014-15 Los Angeles Lakers are facing a tough season ahead. Boasting talent like Carlos Boozer and Wayne Ellington, the roster is filled with no-names and has-beens. Kobe Bryant, depending on who you believe, is no longer considered an elite player in the NBA, and Byron Scott is the coach 2014-15湖人正面臨著一個艱難的賽季。roster上充滿了無名小足及過氣球員天花板盡是像Carlos Boozer和Wayne Ellington此類的球員 . KOBE從某個角度來看，不再被視為一個精英球員，然後教練是Byron Scott Certainly, with 16 championships to their franchise's name, Los Angeles Lakers fans are not accustomed to this sort of disappointment or concern. However, just because things look dim in Tinsel Town right now, doesn't mean they haven't been this bad before. In fact, it was just 10 years ago that the Lakers, when they were readying themselves for the upcoming season, were loaded with a roster that was arguably worse than cast of characters Los Angeles is currently employing. 身為一個擁有16座冠軍的人氣球隊，湖人的球迷顯然還不習慣這種失望和關注即使現在這個浮華城市看起來暗淡無光，但這並不代表他們沒有經歷過比現在更壞的處境。事實上，就在10年前，那時的湖人正用一個比目前更慘澹的陣容為自己迎接即將到來的賽季 Fresh off a losing appearance in the 2004 NBA Finals, the Lakers were in shambles. Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe, and Phil Jackson had reached a trifecta of disagreement, culminating in a trade that sent Shaq to the Miami Heat. Jackson decided he was finished and resigned from the team (and eventually released his scathing anti-Kobe memoir, The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul). 當時湖人正在擺脫敗像已露的2004年的NBA總決賽，他們簡直一團糟。Shaq kobe和禪師三連霸陣容已經走到盡頭，最後Shaq被送往熱火。禪師認為沒搞頭了，從團隊辭職（然後最後還出版了他嚴厲的kobe一生黑回憶錄上個賽季：一個隊伍的靈魂探尋) As a result of all this turmoil, Kobe became stuck with a batch of new-look Lakers who didn't look like anything Los Angeles had seen before. Coached by the aging Rudy Tomjanovich, the 2004-05 Lakers started out the NBA season with a strange mix of uncertainty, an uncommon feeling for the Staples Center faithful 這一切混亂的結果，使得KOBE陷入一群有著陌生臉孔，一個在洛杉磯前所未見的湖人隊。由老邁的Tomjanovich執教，2004-05湖人隊以奇特的組合充滿不確定性的陣容開始了NBA賽季 Many didn't know what to expect. They knew Kobe was going to be able to be "the man" for the team, but with a new coach and a unrecognizable roster, the Lakers were picked to either miss the playoffs or occupy the bottom rung of the Western Conference postseason bracket. No one could've foreseen just how poorly the season would end up going. Tomjanovich ended up resigning due to physical and mental exhaustion, the team tanked, and Los Angeles posted their first losing record in 11 seasons. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat were dominating thanks to Shaq's inside presence 許多人不知道會發生什麼事。他們知道kobe將是能夠成為這個球隊的老大但一個新的教練和一個平庸的roster，使得湖人兩頭空，同時失去了季後賽及爐主搶狀元籤的機會。沒有人能預見本賽季將是這麼糟糕的結束。 Tomjanovich由於身心疲憊選擇辭職，湖人選擇坦，然後結束連續10個球季進入季後賽的紀錄。在此同時，熱火十分感謝Shaq在內線的幫助 Now, a decade later, with two more championships to his name, Kobe readies himself to face the next cycle of talent shuffling through the purple and gold. But, while he is still around, we have to wonder: What exactly happened to all those other guys he took the court with back in 2004? When was the last time we heard from Vlade Divac or Chucky Atkins or Chris Mihm? As we discovered, it's been awhile. So, for the sake of giving basketball fans some perspective on the Kobe's current situation, we found out where all of his 2004-05 Lakers teammates have been hiding since that fruitless 34-48 season 現在的KOBE，十年過去了，有兩個冠軍以他的名字，面對著一群穿著紫金球衣天賦混亂的球員。雖然儘管kobe還在，我們不得不要問：那些年跟他一起在球場的人都過的如何？我們最後一次聽到Divac和Atkins和Mihm是那時候？我想，已經一段時間了。所以，為了讓籃球迷們對科比的現狀有一些其他觀點，在那個34-48賽季那個令人失望的球季背後，我們來看看 KOBE隊友的近況。 Chucky Atkins By trading away veterans Gary Payton and Rick Fox, the Los Angeles Lakers netted Chucky Atkins from the Boston Celtics, along with center Chris Mihm and swingman Jumaine Jones. Atkins had experienced some tough luck prior to joining the Lakers. After playing four seasons with the Detroit Pistons, he was traded to the Boston Celtics midway through the 2003-04 season in exchange for Mike James, narrowly missing out on Detroit's championship campaign that same yea 通過交易送走老將 Gary Payton和 Rick Fox,，洛杉磯湖人隊從賽爾提克獲得Chucky Atkins，以及中鋒Chris Mihm和搖擺人Jumaine Jone。Atkins 加盟湖人前運氣不太好。在活賽打了四個球季後，在2003-04季中被交易到塞爾提克換取偽MJ，只差一點就能跟汽車城一起拿到總冠軍。 Then, just months later, in August, Atkins found himself on the Lakers, who at that point were stripped-down from the dimensions that had made them championship contenders in the NBA Finals of the same year. Suddenly, Atkins was a starting point guard for Los Angeles, an undeniable downgrade for a team which had been previously led by Gary Payton and Derek Fisher 然後，僅僅幾個月後，8月份，Atkins發現自己對湖人而言，是個當年湖人在總冠軍戰後衛的窮人版。突然，湖人從 Gary Payton 及 Derek Fisher 領導的隊伍，降級為Atkins先發控衛的隊伍 To be fair, Atkins made the most his opportunity, posting career highs in rebounds per game and points per game in a full season at the helm. However, the Lakers weren't terribly appreciative of his efforts. Over the 2005 offseason, Atkins was once again traded, this time to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit. Yikes. 平心而論，在一個完整的賽季掌舵下，Atkins把握住他的大部分機會創下職業生涯新高的每場比賽分和每場籃板。不過，湖人隊並沒有非常欣賞他的努力。在2005年休賽期，Atkins再次被交易，這次到巫師隊換來了 Kwame Brow和 Laron Profit Nowadays, Atkins resides in the South Florida area, where he grew up. Recently, he was seen coaching his old high school Maynard Evans in Orlando. However, tweets from what appears to be his personal Twitter account signal that Atkins has made a move to his alma mater, South Florida 如今，Atkins居住在他長大的南佛羅里達地區。最近，有人看見他執教梅納德‧埃文斯高中。然而，從幾個看似是他的個人Twitter帳戶發出的 tweets看來，Atkins似乎在他的母校南佛羅里達活動 Again, we can't completely confirm that @Cdiem007 is Atkins' official Twitter account, but if it is, then he's subscribing to some, uh, pretty interesting clientele. Clearly, he's a man of very specific interests 同樣，我們也不能完全證實，@ Cdiem007是Atkins的官方Twitter賬戶但如果是的話，他訂閱了一些很有趣的客戶。很顯然，他是有些特別興趣的 Tony Bobbitt Signed for one season by Los Angeles, and appearing in just two games, former Cincinnati Bearcats shooting guard Tony Bobbitt came to the Lakers as an undrafted free agent still looking to get his shot in the league. However, he would leave Los Angeles with his career in essentially the same condition. Bobbitt was demoted to the developmental league by the Lakers, eventually going on an extended march between teams in Europe, Mexico, and the lowest levels of professional ball. 在LA簽約一個賽季，並出現在短短的兩場比賽，作為一個非選秀自由球員前辛辛那提鬥士得分後衛 Tony Bobbit來到湖人還是希望能得到他的出手機會。然而，也是此原因使得他離開洛杉磯。Bobbit被下放到了湖人的發展聯盟，最後遊走在歐洲，墨西哥，或其他較低階層的職業聯盟。 The names on Bobbitt's résumé include the Colorado 14ers (now defunct), the Oklahoma Storm (now defunct), and the Springfield Armor (now defunct). Most recently Bobbitt was seen playing for the Idaho Stampede, a D-League team affiliated with the Utah Jazz. However, since 2012, nothing has been seen or heard from Bobbitt in the professional basketball world. A personal Twitter account of Bobbitt's was last used on July 9, 2012. The tweet read, "Thank u GOD for another blessed day im very blessed with my family and happy that im getting to know My GOD better AMEN. 在Bobbitt的簡歷上包括科羅拉多14ers（解散），俄克拉荷馬風暴（解散）和斯普林菲爾德裝甲（解散）。最近Bobbitt被視為效力於愛達荷州牛仔一個D-聯盟球隊附屬在猶他爵士上。然而，2012年以來，在職業籃球界沒有Bobbitt的任何消息。個人Twitter帳戶最後一次更新於2012/7/9 Tierre Brown Tierre Brown played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Orleans Hornets before finally making his way to Hollywood in 2004, but the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles would have no particularly memorable effects on his career, as the guard was quickly swept out of the league following the 2004-05 season Tierre Brown在來到湖人前效力於克里夫蘭騎士隊和紐奧良黃蜂隊但洛杉磯的浮華和魅力沒有對他的職業生涯激起令人難忘的回憶，在2004-05 賽季後，作為後衛的他很快被掃地出門 From there Brown took his career international, playing in locales such as Belarus, Venezuela, Italy, and Qatar, as well as earning minor stints in the D-League. In 2013, Brown played his last notable position for BC Tsmoki-Minsk of the Belarus Premier League. Since then, little has been heard from the McNeese State University product. However, you can find him active today both on Instagram and Twitter. Brown appears to be staying in shape for his next opportunity Brown開始他的國際職業生涯，如白俄羅斯，委內瑞拉，意大利和卡達以及在發展聯盟爭取少數的出場機會。在2013年，Brown效力於白俄羅斯超級聯賽的BC Tsmoki 。從那以後，幾乎沒有聽到這位麥克尼斯州立大學出產選手的消息。但是，他現在仍持續活躍在Instagram的和Twitter上。 Brown似乎保持體態，等待他下一次機會 Caron Butler Caron Butler is one of the few players on this roster who is still currently active in the league, having just signed a 2-year/$9M contract with the Detroit Pistons during the offseason. However, Butler's time in Lakerland was short. After being traded to Los Angeles in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal (the Lakers also received Lamar Odom, Brian Cook, and Brian Grant), Butler was able to acquit himself well, averaging what were then career highs for him in shooting, rebounding, and free throw percentage Caron Butler是在這個roster上少數目前仍然在聯盟中活躍的球員在休賽期剛剛簽訂了一份2年/900萬美元與底特律活塞隊的合約。事實上，Butler在湖人的時間很短。從Shaq的交易來到湖人（也獲得了 Lamar Odom, Brian Cook, Brian Grant），Butler在湖人發揮的很好籃板，投籃，和罰球命中率都是他職業生涯的新高 Unfortunately, these improvements wouldn't be enough to keep Butler in the purple and gold, as he was once again traded the following offseason, shipping off to Washington for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit 不幸的是，這些改進仍然不足以讓Butler繼續穿上湖人球衣，他再一次在休賽季被交易到巫師換取Kwame Brown 和 Laron Profit For Butler, the move was for the best. During his five seasons in Washington, Butler made two All-Star teams and established himself as one of the most versatile and reliable small forwards in the league. Later, after moving to Dallas, Butler would collect a championship ring with the Mavericks, though he was injured for the entirety of their 2011 postseason run due to a torn patella tendon in his right knee 對Butler來說，這是最好的選擇。在華盛頓他的五個賽季，Butler兩度入選全明星隊，並確立了自己是在聯盟中最靈活和可靠的小前鋒之一。後來，被交易到達拉斯後，Butler由於右膝髕腱的撕裂缺席了2011季後賽全部，但仍從小牛隊收集到一枚總冠軍戒指 Though his talents have noticeably faded since his peaks in D.C. and Dallas, Butler is still collecting checks, serving as a stabilizing presence for any team in need of veteran leadership and insight. 雖然他的能力，已經從在巔峰期的華盛頓和達拉斯明顯消退，Butler 仍然還在尋求下一份合約，在任何一支需要老將的領導力和洞察力的球隊中，他依然是個穩定的象徵 Brian Cook As a member of the 2003-04 Lakers team, Brian Cook had received a glimpse of the better days in Los Angeles. He knew what its was like to play and practice with a winning team. Hell, as a rookie, he was able to suit up alongside Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal. What more could a rookie big man ask for? 作為2003-04湖人隊的一員，廚師曾在洛杉磯度過一些美好時光。他知道跟冠軍級隊伍打球、練習是甚麼樣子。幹，作為一名新秀他能夠跟馬龍和Shaq一起搭配。一個菜鳥大個子還可以要求什麼? However, none of the greatness from the Mailman nor Shaq would rub off on Cook. A first round pick for Los Angeles in 2003 NBA Draft, Cook would never fully pan out for the purple and gold, eventually getting traded away to Orlando in a trade that gave the Lakers Trevor Ariza. 然而，廚師沒有從郵差及Shaq學到任何值得一提的技巧。湖人在2003年第一輪選秀的廚師，最終被交易送到奧蘭多，湖人得到Ariza。 From there, Cook bounced around the league, playing for Orlando, Houston, the Clippers, and Washington before signing up to play in the Puerto Rican basketball leagues last season. Thankfully, his former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy came to the rescue last month, signing Cook to a training camp deal with the Detroit Pistons on September 25. For now, Cook is an NBA player again. However, it is unknown whether he'll be around to see the Pistons make their season debut against the Denver Nuggets on September 29 爾後，廚師在聯盟中打轉，效力於奧蘭多，休士頓，快艇和華盛頓，上賽季開打之前還準備在在波多黎各聯賽打球。但值得慶幸的是，他的前魔術主帥恐慌大師上個月伸出援手，在9月25日與底特律活塞簽署訓練營合約，現在，廚師又是一個NBA球員了。不過，目前還不清楚他是否會在本季活塞金塊首場戰出賽(完全不想google他) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 223.136.203.225 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Lakers/M.1416970929.A.0E8.html
