HOUSTON — Sixteen years in the NBA can be a blur, Al Harrington can attest
to that. He lived it.
On Wednesday, he recounted near two-decades worth of just sheer fun, allowing
the words that put an end to things kick off the conversation.
He sat courtside at the Toyota Center after helping out during a Nuggets
practice, and finally said it.
"I'm officially retired," Harrington said. "I don't know if there's paperwork
that I gotta fill out or anything. But my career is over."
And what a career it was.
He'll be known for a number of things, the least of which was being one of
the first true success stories of the prep-to-pros era. A first-round pick of
the Indiana Pacers in 1998, he'd only begun playing organized basketball four
years earlier for St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, N.J.
"I'm very happy with what I was able to accomplish," Harrington said. "I was
able to change a lot of people's lives in my family, including myself in a
game that I eventually fell in love with and will always be in love with. And
hopefully I can stay around the game until I die. It was a fun ride. It went
by fast, too. It was like one minute I was 18, the next I was 25 then was 30
and now I'm 35. It was a fun run. Met a lot of great people."
現年35歲,效力NBA16年的Al Harrington宣布退休。
Al Harrington表示:「我已經正式退休了,我不知道是否有啥相關表格個要填,
但我的職業生涯已經結束了。」
Harrington,1998年第一輪第25順位,
職業生涯打過981場比賽,場均得到13.5分5.6個籃板。
在效力溜馬期間,他曾隨隊闖進總決賽,當時他只是替補,
在2004年,他場均得到13.3分6.4籃板,幫助球隊殺進了東區決賽。
他的巔峰期在老鷹和勇士,在勇士打的42場例行賽裡場均可以得到17分,
與球隊一起在季後賽首輪上演了老八傳奇。
對此,Harrington說:
「我很滿意我所完成的那些成就,我有能力改變我很多家人的生活,包括我自己,
我永遠都熱愛籃球。我希望能一直陪伴籃球直到我死去那刻,這是一段有趣的旅程。
這段歲月過得太快了,感覺一分鐘前我還是個18歲的小夥子,
下一刻就變成25歲、30歲了,而現在我已經35歲了,
這是一段有意思的經歷,我碰到了很多很棒的人。」
