[外絮] Klay Thompson愛犬Rocco過世
https://reurl.cc/7KvkkN
Rocco, the beloved English bulldog that belonged to former Golden State Warrio
rs star Klay Thompson, has died, according to Mychal Thompson, the now-Maveric
ks guard's father. He was 13.
The elder Thompson revealed the devastating news on the Wednesday edition of E
SPN LA sports radio show “Mason & Ireland.”
Rocco是前金州勇士球星Klay Thompson所飼養、深受喜愛的英國鬥牛犬，已經去世，消息
來自現為獨行俠球員的Thompson之父Mychal Thompson。Rocco享年13歲。
Mychal Thompson在週三播出的 ESPN 洛杉磯體育電台節目《Mason & Ireland》中透露了
這個令人心碎的消息。
“As Mase and Ireland always say, when someone dear has departed, ‘Hail fello
w well met,’” Thompson said while introducing a segment in the third hour of
the show. “We had to put Rocco, Klay’s dog, down over the weekend.”
After an immediate outburst of sympathy from everyone else on the show, Thomps
on shared that Rocco was put down Saturday but that “it was time.” He added
shortly afterward, “We were all sad, but Rocco had a great, long life. So tod
ay’s game is dedicated to the memory of our service men and women, and to Roc
co,” before launching into a jovial on-air game featuring trivia questions ab
out the dog.
「就像Mase和Ireland總是說的，當摯愛的人離開時，‘Hail fellow well met（願君一
路好走）’。」Thompson在節目第三小時開場時這樣說道。「我們週末不得不讓Klay的狗
Rocco安樂死。」
節目中其他人立刻表達了哀悼之意，Thompson接著分享Rocco是在週六被安樂死的，但他
說：「是時候了。」他隨後補充說：「我們都很難過，但Rocco過了一段美好而長久的生
命。所以，今天的遊戲是獻給我們服役的軍人與Rocco的。」說完便開始了一段輕鬆的節
目遊戲，內容是關於Rocco的趣味問答。
As Klay Thompson ascended into superstardom in the NBA, so too did his beloved
pet. A 2014 San Francisco Chronicle article about Thompson’s growth starts w
ith an anecdote where the then-Dubs guard was anxiously waiting to finish up s
igning his new contract to get back to Rocco. The relationship was the poster
child for the old saying of “man’s best friend,” especially in the sports w
orld. The English bulldog had his own Instagram account — although it has bee
n mostly dormant since May 2023 — and social media posts that involved Thomps
on and Rocco would rocket to viral fame.
Naturally, the NBA pet got plenty of media attention, with varying levels of s
uccess. He was part of a BMW ad with Thompson, for instance, but when ESPN tri
ed to get him in-studio in LA, things didn’t work out. Multiple features abou
t Thompson throughout the mid-to-late 2010s would involve some form of Thompso
n calling Rocco his “son.” Even with that closeness, when a reporter asked t
he Splash Brother how Rocco handled his absences, Thompson replied, “It’s no
t too bad he lives a pretty good life. I think he understand you gotta go to w
ork and pay the bills.”
隨著Klay Thompson在NBA躍升為超級球星，他摯愛的寵物也隨之聲名大噪。2014年《舊金
山紀事報》（San Francisco Chronicle）一篇報導Thompson成長歷程的文章，就從一段
趣事開始——當時仍效力於勇士隊的他，焦急地等待簽完新合約，只為能趕快回家陪伴Ro
cco。這段關係可說是「狗是人類最好的朋友」這句老話的完美寫照，尤其在體壇更是如
此。這隻英國鬥牛犬甚至擁有自己的Instagram帳號——雖然自2023年5月起就幾乎停止更
新——而與Thompson和Rocco相關的社群貼文也常常迅速爆紅。
自然地，這位「NBA毛小孩」也受到了大量媒體關注，雖然結果好壞參半。舉例來說，Roc
co曾與Thompson一起出現在BMW的廣告中，但當ESPN試圖在洛杉磯邀請牠進棚錄影時，卻
未能成行。從2010年代中期到後期，許多關於Thompson的特寫報導中，幾乎都會出現他稱
Rocco為「兒子」的片段。儘管關係親密無間，但當有記者問這位「浪花兄弟」成員Rocco
如何面對他常常不在家的時候，Thompson回答道：「其實還好，牠過得挺不錯的。我想牠
懂我得出去工作、賺錢養家。」
Rocco had mostly left the spotlight over the past couple of years or so. His m
ost recent notable mention happened in 2022, when a reporter asked Thompson fo
r an update on the dog. Thompson said it was a “great question” and that Roc
co would be turning 10 on April 20.
“He was born in mid-April at some point, but to make things easier, I say the
20th,” he said at the time. “Easy date to remember and to be a 10-year-old
bulldog, I’m very grateful for Rocco.”
Thompson got three more years to appreciate the most beloved dog in the league
.
在過去兩年左右的時間裡，Rocco大多淡出了公眾視野。他最後一次受到矚目的提及是在2
022年，當時有記者問Thompson關於Rocco的近況。Thompson表示這是個「很棒的問題」，
並說Rocco將在4月20日滿10歲。
「牠大概是在四月中旬出生，但為了方便，我就定在20號，」他當時說道，「這個日期很
好記。能夠擁有一隻10歲的鬥牛犬，我真的很感激Rocco。」
Thompson最終又有三年的時間，能夠珍惜這位全聯盟最受喜愛的狗狗。

有養毛小孩的一定都能了解這真的會很難過
雖然我自己還沒經歷這個階段
但想到有一天自己的毛小孩也會離自己而去
難免會心裡感到悲傷
真心希望K湯能早日走出傷痛
