SLAM: What were those first few months like when you came to the realization
that your playing career was over? You kept a low profile for a while.

Brandon Roy: The biggest thing is, it’s different but the same for everyone.
I had a few veterans tell me that. So my last real game was when I was like
27 or 28. And a couple of veterans, and I won’t say their names, but they
all reached out to me and said, ‘Hey, B, it doesn’t matter if you’re 38 or
28—this thing is not easy to walk away from.’

So the first thing you have to do is understand that it’s normal to feel the
way you do. That helped me so much. Even the greatest player ever came back
from retirement—twice! Because this isn’t easy to walk away from.

For me, the first thing I had to do was say, OK, it’s normal for me to be a
little sad about this. And the first thing we all want to do is feel sorry
for ourselves. I got that for a little bit. I didn’t want to jump into
something just because people think you have to work to take your mind off
it. I was more of like, You know what? This is the first time in my life that
I don’t have to get up and go work out. I don’t have to travel and leave my
family for two weeks at a time. I don’t have to mentally prepare myself to
play against the best players in the world.







幾個老將告訴我,退役這件事儘管每個人的過程不同,卻始終必須面對,無論你28或38歲

你必須理解你現在的一切情緒是很正常的,即使是最偉大的球員(MJ)也曾復出了兩次!!!

所以,我首先告訴自己,有點難過是正常的,我們在退休後所做的第一件事就是感到遺憾

但我並不是因為大家都認為應該有這樣的想法而覺得遺憾,我是真的喜歡籃球

這是我人生第一次不必早起練球,不必為了客場比賽一次離開我家人兩個禮拜,不必做好

心理建設去面對這世界最好的球員





SLAM: That’s a really good point.

BR: At my position, I had to match up against Kobe, LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Ray
Allen—those were the guys I had to get ready for. In 2006, these are the
best players around. All that stress and all that work. So I just said, I’m
going to relax. I just relaxed and finally said, Hey, I don’t have to play
anymore. When it’s over you get to relax and not have to go through that
anymore.

Once that was over, I started to think. People were saying, “How about
business?” But I was like, I like basketball! You know, I was fortunate
enough to play basketball and people sometimes think that because you made
money playing basketball you must be really big into business. But I wasn’t
really a businessman. I like hoops. I like the competition of strategizing
against another team. I tried some radio stuff, which I liked a lot. And a
few people asked if I wanted to do TV, but it just wasn’t giving me that
feeling like I have now being on the sidelines and in the locker room. So it
just developed. I was working guys out. I would get some of the top high
school kids and we would work out in the gym. And then it just kind of slowly
went from there.








每天晚上我必須面對這世界最好的球員們,我必須準備好去面對他們

但現在我退休了,我只是放鬆然後告訴自己,我再也不用打球了,我不必去面對這些

但當這些都結束了,我開始思考未來要做什麼

我不是當商人的料,我喜歡籃球,我喜歡與對手競爭與鬥智

我嘗試過廣播工作,有不少人邀請我到電視台工作,但這些都沒有給我真正參與球賽的感覺

於是執教高中球隊的念頭就在我腦中萌芽了






SLAM: What are some of the lessons you learned from your NBA career that you
now find yourself applying to your coaching philosophy and emphasizing to
your kids?

BR: I tell these kids to maximize their opportunities. And the reason you say
that is because you can’t worry about the things you can’t control. You can
’t control injuries but what you can control is what you do every day that
you’re healthy. I think sometimes with these kids, they’re young and the
best thing about being young is that you can dream. Reality hasn’t set in
yet. My knees aren’t going to let me play in the NBA—that’s reality right
there. I try to tell these kids keep dreaming but make sure you live in the
moment. I learned that from my own experience.

At the end of the day, you want to open up your book and you want to know you
dominated every single phase of it. Because when you’re done, that’s all
you have. Now that I’m done with basketball, all I have is my memories and
everything I did while playing. So when people say, “Brandon, how does it
feel? Are you okay with your career?” I’m great! Because I did everything
to the fullest of my abilities in basketball. And when the body said I couldn
’t, I didn’t harp on it.






我告訴孩子們,盡可能把握一切機會,因為擔心你無法掌握的事是沒有意義的

年輕最大的本錢就是你有很多的夢想等待實現,未來擁有無限可能

我只是不斷告訴孩子們持續的追逐夢想,並確保你活在當下

現在我的生涯已經結束,我所擁有的只剩與籃球有關的一切回憶,以及在球場上的一切成就

我對我的生涯很滿意,因為我已經完全發揮了我的籃球能力

而當我的身體不行了,我並沒有抱怨









SLAM: Did you specifically want to coach at the high school level?

BR: I had a lot of people reach out, even NBA people that I’m good friends
with asking if I wanted to do something at that level. Also, there were
colleges asking if I wanted to do something at that level. It just felt right
to be around the high school kids. Look, I’ve played in the NBA, and it’s
hard to get those guys to adjust. And honestly, I didn’t think I was ready
to step in and help a professional get better. But I thought I had a pretty
good idea of how I could help high school kids. That’s why I felt like the
high school level was where I wanted to start my coaching career. And I do
call it a career because it’s something I’m enjoying and want to continue
to pursue. It almost feels like when I was playing I had to go to high school
and college to get ready for the NBA. So that’s where I’m at in coaching—
start at the bottom and develop my skills.





我之所以想執教高中球隊,是因為我不確定自己能勝任更高層級球隊的教練

但我認為我有很多想法可以幫助這些孩子,而且他們的可塑性比較高

我想要從基礎開始,慢慢磨練我的執教能力,而我對現在的生活樂在其中
