前马刺球员德章泰·穆雷 (Dejounte Murray) 是又一位有幸遇到波波维奇的球员
一则来自前马刺球员德章泰·穆雷 (Dejounte Murray) 的故事正在网上流传，这又一次印证了一位最近退役的教练（指波波维奇）的慷慨无私。尽管多篇文章只捕捉到德章泰·穆雷 (Dejounte Murray) 的寥寥数语——他曾在The Pivot Podcast的最新一期节目中亮相——但这足以激发我的兴趣，想了解更多关于格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 与又一位球员的关系。
穆雷向我们讲述了另一个故事，关于波波维奇 (Popovich) 是多么一位出色的父亲般的人物，以及他如何在穆雷家庭经历重重危机时竭尽全力提供帮助：
“所以对我来说，他就像我的父亲一样。故事太多了——如果他能坐在这里讲，他会告诉你：他从没遇到过有球员走进他的办公室，靠在他肩上哭诉在西雅图老家处理过多少谋杀案、为多少场葬礼付过钱。这太疯狂了——我身边很多人甚至都不知道这些。从家人、朋友到监狱里的那些人……波波维奇不希望我回西雅图。我刚被选中那会儿，我确实没回西雅图。那是一个真正关心我的人。那是一个希望我先发挥人生全部潜力，然后才是作为篮球运动员的人。他太真实了。
“我新秀赛季的时候，我妈妈腿部中枪了。她中枪后，他甚至想用自己的钱把我妈妈接到圣安东尼奥来。他亲自给她打电话——我当时根本不知道，事后才得知。‘我们想把你接到这里来。不——不是用他（穆雷）的钱，是用我的钱（波波维奇的钱）。’听起来，这像是一个关心我、爱我的人，不是吗？”
穆雷以一种与他所处境况的严重性不符的平静，讲述着这个艰难的话题。整期节目如下，他关于波波维奇的故事大约从36分钟处开始。最后大约10分钟也值得一听，因为它捕捉了穆雷如何成长为一名资深球员，以及他与现任马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的关系——米奇·约翰逊在他高中后期曾是他发展过程中重要的指导来源。
各位球迷！我希望你们和我一样，对明晚的总决赛第六场比赛感到兴奋！

How Gregg Popovich went above and beyond to help Dejounte Murray and his family
Former Spur Dejounte Murray is another player who is fortunate to have encountered Pop
A story from former Spur Dejounte Murray has been making its way around the interwebs and gives more evidence of a recently retired coach’s magnanimity. While various articles captures a scant quote from former Spur Dejounte Murray, who was featured in a recent episode of The Pivot Podcast, it was enough to pique my interest in hearing more Gregg Popovich’s relationship with yet another player.
Murray gave us yet another story about what an amazing father figure Pop was, and how we went above and beyond to help his family during an overwhelming time of crisis:
“So for me, he was like a father figure. There’s so many stories — if he were able to sit here and talk, he’d tell you: he’s never had a player come into his office and cry on his shoulder about how many murders he had to deal with back home in Seattle, how many funerals I had to pay for. It was so crazy — a lot of my people don’t even know this. From family, friends, and the penitentiary… Pop didn’t want me to go to Seattle. When I first got drafted, I wouldn’t go to Seattle. And that was a man who cared about me. That was a man who wanted me to reach my full potential in life first—then as a basketball player. He’s so real.
“He tried to move my mom to San Antonio with his own money after she got shot. My mom was shot in the leg my rookie year. He called her himself — without me knowing until after the fact. ‘We want to move you here. No — not with his money, with my money.’ That sounds like a dude that cares about me and loves me, right?”
Murray discusses the difficult subject with a calmness that doesn’t match the seriousness of his circumstances. The entire episode is below, and his story about Pop begins at about the 36 minute mark. The last 10 or so minutes is also worth a listen as it captures Murray’s maturation into his veteran career and his relationship with current Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, who was a critical developmental source for him later in his high school years.
Pounders! I hope you are as excited as I am about Game 6 of the Finals tomorrow night!
