圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 拥有一个光明的未来。
这位2025年NBA选秀的榜眼秀在新秀赛季表现惊艳，帮助马刺队一路杀入NBA总决赛。他在系列赛中担任马刺队的第二得分手，在第5场比赛中砍下全队最高的25分，并在第4场贡献了21分。尽管他所有出场都来自替补席，但他整个系列赛场均仍能得到18.0分。
马刺队在五场比赛中输给了纽约尼克斯队，但他们表现优于这支东部劲敌，在整个系列赛中74%的时间都处于领先。哈珀在我们的专访中谈论了多个话题，包括马刺队需要做些什么来最终夺冠、他个人第二赛季的目标，以及他将于7月31日星期五与Topps Chrome篮球卡合作的活动。
迪伦·哈珀专访
问：我想和你聊聊你的父亲，罗恩。显然，他是一位非常出色的球员。我记得他90年代打球的样子。你从你父亲那里学到的最重要的一件事是什么？他给过你的最好建议是什么？
哈珀： 我觉得他给过我的最重要或者说最好的建议，大概就是要努力训练。不要总是和别人比较，归根结底，做你自己就好。顺其自然，一切都会水到渠成的。
问：在你的成长过程中，显然你想做你自己，而且你父亲也给了你这个建议。但你有没有在比赛的某些方面模仿过你父亲，或者你有没有崇拜过其他球员？
哈珀： 我觉得我有很多家人都值得我仰望，我们全家都是。但说实话，我会说篮球智商——这是我从他身上学到的最重要的一点：他的篮球智商，以及整体的那种比赛节奏和感觉。
问：赛季期间你经常和他交流吗？显然，你刚刚在马刺队完成了你的新秀赛季。你们会发短信，会打很多电话吗？你会经常从你父亲那里得到建议吗？
哈珀： 我们会时不时地聊。我觉得在赛季进行中，他理解赛季有多漫长，所以他会让我自己去摸索解决，因为他知道这是我学习和经历这一切的唯一途径。他会时不时给我一些指点，但不会很频繁。
问：有一件事让我印象深刻，那显然是NBA总决赛的表现。你在第一场、第五场打得非常出色。你砍下了全队最高的25分。谈谈那次经历吧。你感到紧张吗？
哈珀： 我的意思是，我觉得每场比赛都差不多的紧张。但在NBA总决赛中打球，这有点像梦想成真。当然，你会希望结果大不相同，但我的意思是，能走得那么远，这绝对不仅教会了我，也教会了我们团队中的每一个人很多东西，让我们知道我们需要做什么。
问：从那次经历中你学到的最重要的一点是什么？显然，你们在那个系列赛的绝大多数时间里都处于领先。你们距离胜利只差一点点，但从那轮系列赛中，你们能汲取什么经验用于未来呢？
哈珀：我认为最重要的大概是终结比赛，还有就是明确知道在特定时刻我们具体该做什么。我认为对我们来说最重要的一点是，我们已经共同经历了一年的磨合。对我们来说，这是作为一支完整团队聚在一起的第一年，我觉得对我们来说，天空才是极限。
问：是的，显然你们只会越来越好。你们还如此年轻。你的新秀赛季——你打出了一个出色的一年。你学到的最重要的一点是什么？有没有你印象深刻的挑战或障碍？
哈珀： 我是说，每年都会有挑战，这是肯定的。但我觉得这个赛季，对我来说最重要的就是保持稳定性。我想我整个82场比赛都在努力做到这一点，无论对手是谁，无论场上是什么情况。就是时刻保持稳定。
问：当季后赛到来，你们打进NBA总决赛的时候，你是否感觉自己比赛季初时从容了许多？
哈珀： 是的，绝对是。我感觉我和队友们在一起更自在了，每个人的角色定位，队友们会在哪个位置出现，还有就是对于比赛的总体情况，比如飞行旅程这些事情都更适应了。我感觉到自己已经安定下来了。
问：你的第二个赛季就要来了。外界期望很高。你心中有没有什么具体的目标？无论是在数据统计上，还是在场上你希望提高的某个方面？
哈珀： 不，老兄。我觉得每一年对我来说最重要的事情，真的就是每天进步一点，向身边人学习，从自己的经历中学习，尽量避免一遍又一遍地犯同样的错误。但对我来说，真的没有什么个人的目标。我觉得我们所有人都有一个共同的团队目标，那就是我们感觉去年本就应该做到的，那才是唯一的目标。这才是萦绕在所有人心头的事。
问：所以简单来说，相比于任何个人目标，你更看重团队目标。这就在你的计划之内。
哈珀： 是的，先生。
问：而且这对你来说没关系，你第一个赛季，也就是新秀赛季是打替补。无论是首发还是替补，对你来说都不重要，对吗？
哈珀： 不重要的，我觉得无论如何，我都在NBA了。NBA总共只有大概450个人，我能有机会走上球场，和最顶尖的球员们同场竞技。我觉得这些事情和定位问题，放在大框架下看，并不会影响我，也不会影响我对待每一天的方式。
问：我想和你聊聊文班。显然，他是个相当出色的球员。他为了团队，在续约时接受了低于顶薪的合同，这体现了他是多么在乎这支球队。谈谈这意味着什么，以及他在幕后是怎样一位球员和领袖——也许是球迷们不知道的那些方面。
哈珀：我感觉作为一名22岁的年轻人，他可能是我遇到过的最好的领袖之一，就是他为人处世的方式，他从上到下、事无巨细的成熟度，无论是篮球训练治疗、在力量房、还是个人生活方面。我觉得他构建自己生活的方式对他非常奏效，而且我认为他是这世上最真诚的人。当那个续约消息出来时，我想是的，每个人都感到惊讶。但我觉得，这就是他这个人本身的样子。
问：这个周末你和Topps Chrome以及eBay有什么活动安排？
哈珀： 在7月31日星期五，我会和Blez一起加入eBay Live，基本上我们会在上面寻找我的新秀卡，特别是Topps Chrome的卡片。我们将展开一场“寻宝”之旅。我们会做这个活动。另外，我们还会和球迷们互动，看看能不能让他们也有机会得到一些。
问：你说你在寻找你的新秀卡。这是你第一次和Upper Deck合作吗？你小时候是那种狂热的体育纪念品收藏迷吗？
哈珀： 这绝对是我第一次做这样的事情。我在大学里时不时做过一些，但作为职业球员，绝对是第一次。关于纪念品，说实话，这大概始于我小时候，我下楼看到我父亲有一件签名版的迈克尔·乔丹、魔术师约翰逊的球衣。仅仅是看到诸如此类的物件，我就一直对这类东西很感兴趣。
问：你成长过程中见过迈克尔·乔丹吗？因为我知道你父亲曾和他一起并肩作战，而且Upper Deck现在正做这个迈克尔·乔丹正品收藏品的活动。
哈珀： 我很小的时候在巴克莱中心见过他一次。但是，是的，我和他，我父亲曾在芝加哥打球，而那正是这次活动将举办的地方。我觉得这整个活动会让人有一种怀旧的感觉，所有在场的人都会沉浸在那样的氛围里。
问：再稍微详细介绍一下你之前提到的那个直播活动吧。
哈珀： 对我来说，这次直播最重要的部分就是连接球迷和社群，我觉得eBay Live能把这一切都聚合起来。它将我和Blaz，以及那些想见见我的球迷们聚在一起，我们可以互动，然后一起去找卡片。我认为最重要的是享受快乐时光，并与所有人互动。
问：你还有什么想传达给外界的吗？
哈珀： 最重要的是，我有预感我就能抽到那张Topps Chrome卡。我觉得我能在直播中现场抽到它。我认为eBay Live所做的，是把运动员们聚在一起。它把像Blez这样的人，以及社群中那些具备专业知识、懂卡片的人聚在一起。它把整个爱好者社群凝聚起来了。我坚信7月31号会是一场非常精彩的活动。
马刺队的夺冠赔率
目前，马刺队在 FanDuel 上的NBA夺冠赔率高居第二位，为 +270，仅次于俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的 +230，而雷霆在大多数篮球博彩网站上都位列头号热门。拥有哈珀、文班亚马以及他们身边众多年轻拼图，这支球队未来多年都将是总冠军的有力竞争者。

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper has a bright future ahead of him.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft had a sensational rookie season, helping lead the Spurs to the NBA Finals. He finished the series as San Antonio’s second-leading scorer after scoring a team-high 25 points in Game 5 and contributing 21 points in Game 4. He finished the series averaging 18.0 points per game despite the fact that all of his appearances came off the bench.
The Spurs lost in five games to the New York Knicks, but they outplayed their Eastern Conference brethren, leading for 74% of the series. Harper addressed a number of topics in our sitdown interview, including what the Spurs need to do to finish the job, his objectives for his second season, and his upcoming event with Topps Chrome Basketball on Friday, July 31.
Interview with Dylan Harper
Q: I want to talk to you about your dad, Ron. Obviously, a heck of a player. I remember him in the '90s. What is the biggest thing you learned from your dad? What’s the best advice he ever gave to you?
Harper: I feel like the biggest or the best advice he ever gave me is just kind of work hard. Don’t really compare yourself to others, and at the end of the day, just be you. Things will take care of yourself for themselves.
Q: When you were growing up, obviously you want to be yourself, and your dad gave you that advice? But are there certain areas of your game that you mimicked from your dad, or did you look up to other players?
Harper: I feel like I had a lot of people look up to my family, my whole family. But really, I would say just the IQ-that’s the biggest thing I kind of took away from him: the IQ and just overall, just his flow and feel for the game.
Q: Do you talk to him a lot during the season? Obviously, you just completed your rookie year with the Spurs. Do you guys text, do you talk a lot on the phone? Do you get advice from your dad a lot?
Harper: We talk here and there. I feel like during the year, he understands how long the season is, so he kind of allows me to just figure it out on my own because he knows that’s the only way that I’ll kind of learn and get through it. He gives me things here and there, but not really consistently.
Q: Something that impressed me, obviously, the NBA Finals performance. You had a heck of a Game 1, Game 5. You scored a team-leading 25 points. Talk about that experience. Did you have any nerves?
Harper: I mean, I feel like it’s in any game, I feel like I had the same amount of nerves. But playing in the NBA Finals is this kind of dream come true. Obviously, you want the outcome to be a lot different, but I mean, to make it there that far, it definitely taught not just me, but I think just taught everyone in our group a lot and what we need to do.
Q: What was the biggest thing that you learned from that experience? Obviously, you guys led for a great duration of that series. You came up a little short, but what can you take from that series moving forward?
Harper: I think the biggest thing is probably closing out games, and I think just knowing exactly what we’re gonna do in certain times, I think the biggest thing for us is we got a year under our belt. I think this year for us, the first year we’re all together as a team, and I feel like the sky’s the limit for us.
Q: Yeah obviously you guys are only gonna keep getting better. You guys are so young. Your rookie season – you had a good rookie year. What was the biggest thing that you learned? Were there any obstacles that you can think of?
Harper: I mean, there’s definitely obstacles in every year. But I feel like this year, I feel like the biggest thing for me was just staying consistent. I think I tried to do that all 82 games, regardless of who we played, regardless of what the circumstances were. Just staying consistent at all times.
Q: Do you feel like that by the time the playoffs rolled around, you guys got to the NBA Finals, you could feel yourself a lot more comfortable than maybe at the beginning of the year?
Harper: Yeah, definitely. I feel like I was a lot more comfortable with my team, kind of the roles everyone was in, where people were going to be at, and I think just the overall landscape of the game, the flight stuff like that. I feel like I kind of settled down.
Q: Your second season’s coming up here. There are high expectations. Do you have any concrete objectives in your mind? Whether that’s statistical, whether that’s on the court as far as where you want to improve?
Harper: Nah, man. I feel like the biggest thing for me in every year is really just getting better every day, learning from the people around me and learning from my own experiences and just trying not to make the same mistakes over and over again. But for me, it’s not really just anything personal. I feel like we all have that one team goal that we felt like that we should have had last year. I feel like that’s really the only thing on that. That’s the only thing that’s on everyone’s mind.
Q: So simply put, it’s team-based over any sort of individual objectives. That’s what’s on your mind.
Harper: Yes, sir.
Q: And it doesn’t matter to you, you were coming off the bench your first season, your rookie season. It doesn’t matter to you whether you’re a starter or whether you’re a bench player, right?
Harper: No, I feel like regardless, I’m in the NBA. There’s only like 450 people in the NBA, and I get a chance to go on the court and play with the best of the best. I feel like those kinds of things and those logistics at the end of the day, in the big scheme of things, it’s not going to affect me and how I approach every day.
Q: I want to talk to you about Wemby. Obviously, a heck of a player, man. It shows how much he cares about the team that he took less money than the max on his extension. Talk about what that means, and talk about what type of player and leader he is behind the scenes – maybe that fans don’t know about.
Harper: I feel like for a 22-year-old, he’s probably one of the best leaders I’ve been around, just the way he carries himself, his maturity, from top to bottom, whether it’s basketball treatment, in the weight room, personal life. I feel like he’s kind of structured his life in a way that has worked for him, and I think he’s the most genuine person ever. When that came out, I feel like yes, it was a surprise to everyone. But I mean, that’s just the type of person he is.
Q: What are you up to with Topps Chrome and eBay this weekend?
Harper: I’m joining eBay Live on Friday, July 31st, with Blez, and basically we’re gonna be on the search to go find one of my rookie cards, and especially a Chrome Topps card. We’re gonna be on a hunt with that. We’re gonna do that. Plus, we’re gonna interact with the fans too, and allow them to try and get some.
Q: You said you’re on the hunt for one of your rookie cards. Is this the first time you’ve been partnered with Upper Deck? And were you a big sports memorabilia guy growing up?
Harper: It’s definitely my first time doing something like this. I’ve done it here and there in college, but I think as a professional, definitely yeah. I think the memorabilia stuff started honestly like when I used to walk downstairs and my dad had this Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson jersey signed. Just seeing things like that, I’ve always been interested in things of this nature.
Q: Have you met MJ while growing up? Because I know your dad teamed up with him and then Upper Deck is obviously doing this whole authentic Michael Jordan’s collectibles thing.
Harper: I met him once at Barclays Center when I was young. But yeah, I mean me and him, my dad played in Chicago, where it’s gonna be hosted. I feel like this whole event is gonna kind of have that nostalgia, nostalgic feeling to it, and everyone there is in that kind of place.
Q: Detail a little bit more about this stream that you mentioned earlier on.
Harper: I think the biggest part of the stream for me is just connecting with the fans and the community, and I think eBay Live brings all that together. It brings me and Blaz and just fans that want to kind of meet me and we get to interact and we just go and try to find cards. I think the biggest thing is having a good time and interacting with everyone.
Q: Is there anything else that you want to get out there?
Harper: The biggest thing is that I feel like I’m gonna pull my Topps Chrome card. I think I think I’m gonna pull it there live. I think what eBay Live does, it brings the athletes together. It brings people like Blez and people in that community that have that type of knowledge and that understand the cards and things like that. It brings the community together. I feel like on July 31, it’s gonna be a great event.
Spurs’ Title Odds
The Spurs currently have the second-best NBA title odds at FanDuel, sitting at +270, just behind the OKC Thunder, who are priced at +230, and the top favorite at most basketball betting sites. With Harper, Wemby, and many young pieces around them, this team should be a contender for years to come.
