周六，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 在瓦格纳高中举办了两场篮球训练营，上午场面向小学和初中年龄段的球员，下午场面向高中生。在上午的训练营中，一名小学员问瓦塞尔，谁是他在雷霆队“最不喜欢的球员”。还没等这位佛罗里达人回答，小学员们就开始齐声高喊“SGA”。
瓦塞尔停顿了一下，在球场上踱了几步，与特邀嘉宾卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 交流了一下（后者表情明显表示自己不想回答），然后让小学员们安静下来，说道：“他们全队都是。我们这儿不喜欢雷霆队。”这番话赢得了热烈的掌声。
我的同事卡罗琳娜·蒂格 (Carolina Teague) 当时在现场，拍下了这段视频。

虽然他的回应很有趣，也在当时引发了反响，但不用说，球员们总体上还是彼此尊重的。这些年轻球员从小就一起在地区队和国家队里竞争、共同成长。他们在锦标赛中相遇，被邀请参观同样的著名高中，然后在NCAA赛场上竞技，希望在选秀日听到自己的名字被叫到。
虽然球迷们会把对手当成敌人，但球员们在赛后经常会互相串门拜访。托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker) 就以邀请来访球队中的法国球员到家里做客而闻名。比赛是比赛，生活是生活。这也是格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 一直灌输给球员们的品质之一。
不过，在那一刻，宣称你的对手是敌人确实能把一整个体育馆的孩子情绪点燃。看起来他们都玩得很开心，也在这个过程中学到了一些技巧。

Open Thread: Devin Vassell reveals his least favorite OKC player
On Saturday, Devin Vassell hosted a pair of basketball camps at Wagner High School, a morning session for elementary and middle school aged players and an afternoon for the high schoolers. During his morning session, a camper asked Vassell who his “least favorite player on OKC” was. Before the Florida native could respond, the campers began a unison call of “SGA.”
Vassell took a minute, paced around the court, engaged with special guest Carter Bryant (who visually displayed he did not care to answer), calmed the campers down and then stated “it’s all of them. We don’t like OKC around here” to rousing applause.
My colleague Carolina Teague was on the scene and caught this video.
“Who is your LEAST favorite player on OKC?”
One of the youth campers at Devin Vassell’s basketball camp came with the rage bait, and the crowd immediately started chanting “SGA!” before Devin gave this playful response

While his response was fun and elicited a response in the moment, it should go without saying that overall players respect one another. These young athletes come up together competing at an early age in regional and national teams. they meet in tournaments, are invited to tour the same prestigious high schools, and then compete collegiately in hopes of hearing their name called on draft day.
While fans make enemies of their opponents, the players often visit with one another after the games. Tony Parker was known to have French players from visiting teams over to his home. The game is the game, and life is life. It’s one of those attributes that has been instilled by Gregg Popovich.
But claiming your rival is the enemy sure riles up a gym full of kids in the moment. Looks like they all had fun and picked up skills along the way.
