新加盟的Mohammed已抵达了圣城，他在接受身体检查后接受了采访：
关于身处圣城——我感觉非常好，很高兴能成为有力争夺总冠军的一员。我希望自己能尽快做好准备。
关于交易——事实上这件事很让我震惊，那时我刚好待在旅馆里，正打算在和费城的比赛前小睡一下。然后我的经纪人打电话给我，一开始我还以为他是在开玩笑，没多久 Isiah (微笑刺客Tomas)又打电话说他把我交易出去了。
关于被交易到联盟最好的球队——对此我深感荣幸，我想为球队做任何我能做到的事。
关于回到圣城——在这里赢得NCAA的冠军是一次很重要的经历，我希望我能在这里再捧起NBA冠军奖杯。我只想努力融入球队并做好任何教练组想要我做的事。
球队的变换——不管身处何队，我都会努力准备好。特别是在篮板和防守方面，因为这是两件你能做到并可自私于此却又能更帮助球队的事。
关于拜入主教练POP麾下——我非常兴奋能为老爷子效力。他和(拉里) Brown相似，同样以理解比赛和要求严格著称。
关于他所带给新球队的——我的防守和篮板。我觉得我是联盟里一位比较好的篮板手，并且在中锋的位置上，我和大部分中锋一样好甚至比大部分的都要好。我并想因为我的到来而打乱球队的战术安排，我希望我能融入球队并有所作为。
对交易的惊讶——当时，虽然我知道这是一场疯狂的交易，我还是没有去描绘它，我没有想到这真的会发生，我也没有想到我将不会在纽约打球了。这个惊奇还是让我相当愉快的。
对墨西哥食品的喜爱——我很喜欢墨西哥食品，但是我的西班牙语一点也不好！
不管身处何队，我都会努力准备好。特别是在篮板和防守方面，因为这是两件你能做到并可自私于此却又能更帮助球队的事。
真希望看到他这样
还挺自信的
既然木已成舟，米已成炊。。。对于没法子的事情我向来接受的很快：）
新成员貌似还很谦虚的样子。。。欢迎来到马刺！
最后一次放肆的怀念玫瑰，最后一次。。。
明天开始我就是莫罕莫德的球迷了！
对交易的惊讶——当时，虽然我知道这是一场疯狂的交易，我还是没有去描绘它，我没有想到这真的会发生，我也没有想到我将不会在纽约打球了。这个惊奇还是让我相当愉快的。
有机会拿金戒指当然愉快
希望他的表现对得起马刺的信任……不要让我们对玫瑰的离开更加伤心和遗憾
楼主手脚好快啊
我觉得明天未必会上场。好象连号码都没选定吧
有关Nazr Mohammed 的一则故事
Home with heavy heart

CHICAGO - Nazr Mohammed always felt somewhat uncomfortable when his father started bragging to friends and family about his son the basketball player.
“Nazr is being recruited by Kentucky,” Tahiru Abdul Mohammed would say. “He’s going to play for Rick Pitino.”
In the following years, Tahiru Abdul would go on and on about Nazr becoming a starting center, helping the Wildcats to two national championships and developing into a first-round NBA draft pick.
“It was a little embarrassing,” Nazr said. “Even the littlest things he would brag to his friends about. But I know he was proud of me.”
Nazr Mohammed will walk to center court for the opening tipoff today in Chicago, and he knows it is a moment that his father would have enjoyed the most. Just imagine how proud his dad would have been about his son, a starting center for the New York Knicks, following in the footsteps of Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing, facing their beloved Bulls. From the South Side to the big time.
“My only regret is that he never got to see some of the success I’ve had,” Nazr said.
以上大意：Nazr Mohammed刚出道的时候为肯塔基野猫队打球，他老爸感到十分骄傲，总是在街坊邻居面前吹嘘，让他都觉得不大好意思。但是他能理解他老爸对他的感情。他觉得很遗憾，因为他老爸没有看到他今天的成就。
For the past five years, returning home to Chicago has never been the same for Mohammed, whose father was brutally murdered with a baseball bat by an employee at the auto-body shop he owned. Walter Hughes, hired as an act of kindness by the elder Mohammed, was sentenced to 42 years in prison for murder and armed robbery. Tahiru Abdul Mohammed was 55 when died and left behind 11 children.
“I remember exactly where I was when I first heard about my father,” Nazr said. "I was coming back from the Boston Summer League and was in the airport in Cincinnati when my step-sister called me. It was very tough at the time.
“I just knew I had to get home. Something like that catches you completely off guard, to hear that your father is dead. It wasn’t like he was sick. But that guy is in jail for a long time. I went to the sentencing but I didn’t feel justice. The court did as much as it could to give our family justice. But once you take a life there is no justice. There is nothing.”
事情已经过去五年了。那天他老爸被自己的雇员拿棒球棒残忍地谋杀。Nazr Mohammed正从波士顿的训练营回家，在机场的时候得知这一消息。从此芝加哥就成了他的痛苦之地。
A likeness of his father is tattooed on Mohammed’s left biceps, and there is another way in which he honors his dad.
“I try to live my life right because I know he is watching me,” he said. “And I don’t want to disappoint him.”
他想努力好好生活，因为他感觉得到父亲在看着他。他不想让父亲失望。
Of course, wanting to make his father proud has long been Mohammed’s driving force. When Mohammed left Kenwood Academy and arrived on the Kentucky campus in 1995, he was a 6-10, 315-pound project. Florida coach Billy Donovan, who was Pitino’s assistant at the time, said his first impression of Mohammed was that he had “no shot” of becoming a serviceable player.
Mohammed lost weight and improved his game. At 27 and in his seventh NBA season, the 250-pound Mohammed is on pace to have a career year. In 35 starts, he is averaging 12.7 points and 9.2 rebounds - both career highs.
When Knicks president Isiah Thomas acquired Mohammed from the Atlanta Hawks 11 months ago in the four-team trade that included Tim Thomas, Keith Van Horn and Michael Doleac, Thomas raised eyebrows when he said he would not have made the deal unless he got Mohammed. Although Mohammed is not in the same class as Shaquille O’Neal or even Zyrdunas Ilgauskas, he has emerged as one of the Knicks’ most consistent players.
纽约11个月前从老鹰得到Nazr Mohammed。他和鲨鱼、甚至和Ilgauskas都不是一个等级的。但他逐渐成了尼克斯表现最稳定的球员之一。
Mohammed has improved offensively and he is what coaches like to call a low-maintenance teammate - he doesn’t need the ball to make an impact, never complains and always competes.
他的进攻进步很快，而且教练说他属于不需要精心照顾的那种队友——他不需要拿着球去施加影响，从不抱怨，总是积极进取。
“He never takes a play off,” Thomas said. “He really worked hard last summer with (Knicks aides) Mark Aguirre and George Glymph to get better. Now we’re seeing the results.”
尼克总经理托马斯说：“他从未在任何一场比赛中懈怠。去年夏天他刻苦训练，有所长进。我们会看到成果的。”
Mohammed has already recorded 13 double-doubles (points and rebounds) after posting just six last season. He is a longshot to make the All-Star team but just the fact that his name is being mentioned is an impressive feat for a player who, entering this year, was a career backup.
In Mohammed’s first two seasons in the league he appeared in only 54 games with Philadelphia. But at least his father had the chance to see his son make it.
“I think about him all the time,” Mohammed said. “When I go home I try to visit his grave and say my prayers. It was extremely difficult the way it happened. I mean, that was my pops. He was my strength.”
POP说了，明天新中锋不会上场。
我们原来的13号已经退役了。。。

希望新中锋和他说的一样
希望他能增强球队的实力,弥补中锋这相对较弱的位置
好象也是个命苦的孩子…
