上周，卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 因公开反对亚特兰大老鹰队的“幻影城之夜 (Magic City Night)”主题活动而登上了头条。这家位于亚特兰大的成人俱乐部曾在无数说唱和嘻哈歌曲中被提及。该热门地点还以柠檬胡椒炸鸡翅而闻名。
来自 The Athletic 的贾里德·韦斯 (Jared Weiss) 上个月在圣安东尼奥马刺队于纽约失利后不久，偶遇了正在个人博客上撰写文章的科内特。
这位前凯尔特人队中锋是在 2022-2023 赛季开始经营他的博客的。作为一名虔诚的公教徒，科内特决定记录他在客场征战期间所造访的教堂。
2023 年 1 月 23 日，他发布了题为《别传那颗球：2022-23 赛季 NBA 征途中的天主教堂》(Don’t Pass the Rock: The Catholic Churches of the 2022-23 NBA Season) 的文章向读者自我介绍，展现了他的机智、幽默以及对双关语的偏爱。
在 2023 年，科内特又发布了三篇“别传那颗球”系列文章，随后便陷入了沉寂……直到现在。
2026 年 1 月 26 日，就在发布首篇文章的三年零三天后，他提交了《别传那颗球：重回马鞍》(Don’t Pass the Rock: Back in the Saddle)，并声明：“我回来了，正努力重新找回我的表达欲。”
而他确实找到了。
科内特自嘲式的幽默在圣安东尼奥从一开始就显露无疑。在加盟马刺队时，他选择了 7 号球衣，并声称他的目标是成为蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 三分之一水平的球员。他对礼拜场所的痴迷通过一种真诚的笔调传递出来，但他的私人写作则层层剥开了他的“自我”，以及这种自我在篮球世界中是如何体现的。
上个月，在输给夏洛特黄蜂队后，科内特发布了《卢克的马刺生存指南秘籍》(Luke’s Declassified Spurs Survival Guide)：
“问题依然存在，我们的航程似乎愈发注定要失败。士气命悬一线，补给也已不足。最关键的是，水管冻住了，这意味着没有咖啡，也就没有了咖啡因——那希望的灵药。戒断症状带来的头痛引发了内斗，我担心派系斗争正初见端倪。人类的生存状态是如此脆弱。在死亡的初兆面前，恐惧显现，人们展露出真面目。我们担心如果情况继续恶化，饥饿感确定无疑地增长……可能需要做出一些牺牲。我投新秀一票。他们的奉献将被铭记，作为缅怀，我们会向食物银行捐赠一小笔钱。”
这段文字以极其幽默的口吻，讲述了马刺队在被雪覆盖的夏洛特所经历的种种磨难，以及随后在背靠背第二场比赛中艰难返程的旅程。
几天后，他紧接着发表了一篇感人至深的声明，阐述了 NBA 交易截止日期对许多球员的意义，以及过去对他本人的意义。
随后是他关于超级碗和迈克·弗拉贝尔 (Mike Vrabel) 的一些随笔。
2月23日，他发布了向“1号大巴男孩 (Bus 1 Boys)”致敬的文章——那些坐在替补席远端、渴望在比赛中被叫到名字以便在场上闪耀的球员们。
当然，还有他最近发布的、也是幽默感最少的一篇分享——《关于亚特兰大老鹰队》(Concerning the Atlanta Hawks)。
如果没有韦斯在更衣室里与他邂逅并询问他在做什么，科内特对该活动的不安可能仅限于他的 993 名粉丝。相反，他在镜头前发表了言论，并被包括《纽约客》(The New Yorker) 在内的多家新闻媒体报道。他因为自己的观点受到了球员、评论员和球迷的批评。但这无关紧要。
如果卢克·科内特心中有话，他就会说出来，而且会表达得非常出色。

The story behind Luke Kornet’s blog
Last week Luke Kornet made headlines by speaking out against the Atlanta Hawk’s “Magic City Night” theme. The ATL gentleman’s club has received shout outs in numerous rap and hip-hop songs. The hot spot is also known for lemon-pepper wings.
Jared Weiss of the The Athletic ran into Kornet as he was writing a post on his blog shortly after the Spurs loss in New York last month.
The former Celtics center started his blog during the 2022-2023 season. Kornet, a lifelong Catholic, decided to write about the churches he visited while on the road playing basketball.
On January 23, 2023, he introduced himself with the post “Don’t Pass the Rock: The Catholic Churches of the 2022-23 NBA Season” showcasing his wit, humor, and penchant for the pun.
Kornet posts three more “Don’t Pass the Rock” pieces in 2023 before going dark…until now.
On January 26, 2026, three years and three days after launching his initial post, he submitted “Don’t Pass the Rock: Back in the Saddle,” stating “I’m back trying to find my voice.”
And found it, he has.
Kornet’s self-effacing humor was apparent from the get-go in San Antonio. When signing with the Spurs he chose #7, stating his goal to become one-third the player Tim Duncan was. His fascination with places of worship came through an authentic tone, but his personal writing peels back layer after layer of his “self” and how that has played out in the basketball world.
Last month, Kornet released “Luke’s Declassified Spurs Survival Guide” after losing to the Chrlotte Hornets:
“The problems persist and our voyage seems increasingly destined for failure. Morale hangs by a thread and rations are low. Most notably the water pipe is frozen meaning no coffee and therefore no caffeine, the elixir of hope. Withdrawal headaches have led to infighting and I’m concerned factions are beginning to form. So fragile the human condition. At the first sight of death, fear manifests and people’s true colors are shown. We fear if conditions worsen and hunger grows certain….sacrifices may need to be made. I vote a rookie. Their offering will be remembered and a small donation to a food bank will be made in their memory.”
The trials and tribulations surrounding the Spurs snow-laden Charlotte game followed by the arduous journey home for the second night of a back-to-back told through a most humorous tone.
He followed up a few days later with a heartfelt proclamation of what the NBA trade deadline meant to many players as well as what it has meant to him in the past.
Next came some musings regarding the Super Bowl and Mike Vrabel.
On February 23, he posted his tribute to the Bus 1 Boys, the guys at the far end of the bench hoping to get their name called during the game so they can shine on the court.
And then, of course, his most recent — and least humorous share — “Concerning the Atlanta Hawks.”
Without Weiss crossing his path in the locker room and asking him what he was up to, Kornet’s disquiet for the event may have been limited to his 993 followers. Instead, he spoke on camera and was picked up by multiple news sources, including The New Yorker. He took criticism from players, pundits, and fans for his take. But it is of no matter.
If Luke Kornet has something on his mind he will say it, and say it well.
