(由ESPN發行，絕對是正派經營的啦)

三巨頭有兩巨頭都脫了，阿瓜，下一個就是你了吧~~~XDD

本板沒有記者吧？不希望這則報導被用驚悚的標題出現在台灣的新聞版面中...-"-

Why did you decide to pose for the Body Issue?
為何你決定要為Body Issue拍照？

TC: I think it gives the average person a good look at athletes' bodies and
    why we are able to do the things we do. I think a lot of people are
    curious about it. I wanted to allow people to look at my body and see
    why I'm able to do the things I do on the court. Also, it's a very
    artistic shoot, and seeing that in past issues made me want to do it.
    我認為這可以給一般人一個很好的角度欣賞運動員的身體，可以知道為何我
    們能做到這些事。我認為大多數人對這很好奇。我想要讓人們看看我的身材，
    看為何我能在球場上做出這些動作。同時這是個非常藝術的拍攝，看到過去發行
    的issues讓我想要這麼做。

How did you get started in basketball?
你怎麼開始打籃球的？

TC: My grandfather built my first hoop. It was a peach basket up against a
    tree, and we played in the dirt. I couldn't have been more than 6 when
    he put it up, and I just started playing. I fell in love with the
    competitive nature of it. I remember seeing how intense it was, even
    early on, and I just love that.
    我的祖父為我搭了第一個籃框。那是個放在樹上的小籃框，我在泥土地上玩。
    (後面有點難譯)

Is it true you grew up on a farm?
你是在農場長大的嗎？

TC: I did. I used to help my grandfather on the farm, driving tractors,
    raising crops and animals. I used to feed some of the baby cows
    and pigs, and I had to be no older than 7 or 8. Then at about 9
    or 10 I started driving tractors. It showed me at an early age what
    hard work was all about and how dedicated you have to be, no matter
    what you do. I remember the passion my grandfather went to work with
    every day, and I think it rubbed off on me.


    就知道辛勤工作是什麼樣子，你必須如何奉獻。我記得我祖父每天帶著熱情工作，

    我認為這擦亮了我。

What do you like about your body?
你喜歡的你身體的什麼地方？

TC: My stature. I'm tall with broad shoulders. And my waist is small. I'm
    into fashion, so I like the way clothes lay on me. I'm pretty much a
    normal person's size, just stretched out.
    我的身高。我很高，肩很寬。我的腰很小。我喜歡時尚，所以我喜歡看看衣服
    穿在我身上的方式。我的身材就是普通人的尺寸，只是比較拉長了點。

What challenges do you face with your body?
你的身體讓你遇到的挑戰是什麼？

TC: Everyday living. Getting on an airplane, using the restroom in the
    airplane -- they are totally not built for you. When you go to a
    restaurant, you can't just take any table -- your legs and knees
    don't fit. Just little things like that you wouldn't think about.


[心得：原來大個子的煩惱也不少，難怪上次尋寶遊戲主持人會問拳王家
       是否特別設計，天花板和門都看起來比較高...]

To what do you attribute your body awareness?

TC: My athletic build; I'm long and lean. It comes naturally, but I've
    always worked to enhance my body to perform better. I also don't have
    very big feet, relatively speaking (I'm a size 16), and I think that
    makes me agile and quick.

Talk about your early history with sports.
談談你早期的運動歷史。

TC: I played football and baseball when I was younger. I was so much bigger
    than everyone else, but I never wanted that to be a hindrance, I never
    wanted to not be able to play a sport, or to have people say that I
    couldn't play a certain position because I wanted to be just as fast
    and athletic as the smaller guys. I think that that ultimately helped
    with my athleticism. I competed with guys at other positions. Even when
    I played basketball, I didn't want them to just say "Okay, he's the
    center." I wanted to be just as fast as the guards. So when we ran
    drills, I competed with the guards rather than the big guys.


[心得：沒想到拳王好勝心這麼強。XD]

When was your first dunk?

TC: I dunked for the first time the summer before sixth grade. I had never
    tried because I didn't want to be embarrassed in not being able to do
    it. And then one of my classmates hyped me up in the gym one day, and
    I just thought "Okay, now is the time to try it." And I did it and
    surprised myself with how easy it was.

Which exercise can't you live without?

TC: I'm into biking now. I asked Ray Lewis one time how he was able to turn
    back the hands of time, and he told me he rides 100 miles a day: 50 in
    the morning, 50 in the evening. I'm like "What!?" But it makes complete
    sense because it takes the impact off your knees and ankles, but it's
    also really good conditioning and strengthens the knees and ankles. So,
    me being me, the day I started I did 35 miles, and I came in the house
    and collapsed. I probably should have eased my way into it.

    Now, I'll ride 17.5 miles to the gym, weight train, get some shots up,
    then ride another 17.5 miles home. People on the road honk at you and
    stare, so I try to take the side streets that aren't as busy, but when
    people see me they definitely notice. I live in LA, so people come
    alongside me and scream, "When are you coming to the Lakers?!?", and
    random fans will drive alongside me and videotape me with their phones.
    I'm probably on YouTube. It's actually very soothing when I'm riding.
    I put my headphones on -- but not too loud because I want to hear the
    traffic -- and just check out the scenery while I ride. The only tough
    part is sometimes I forget that I have to work out once I get to the gym.

What do you tell yourself when you feel like you can't train any
further?

TC: I think about my competition. I imagine a fierce person training really
    hard, out there right now doing more than me, and if I quit, I'm giving
    them an edge. I think about the top centers in the league, and the top
    teams I'm going to go against. When I'm doing speed work, I think about
    some of the great athletes in our league that I'm going to have to play
    defense against coming at me full speed. I'm the defensive anchor on my
    team, and I know that in order to be a defensive anchor, you have to be
    in great condition. So during those times I push through it. When I'm
    on the court, you take yourself to the brink. I'll do whatever it takes;
    I'll fall down here before I quit.

Have you ever felt self-conscious about your body?

TC: I did at an early age. I was always proud of my height, but I was
    self-conscious because I was really skinny. I always wanted to be
    bigger. I didn't like to wear shorts or show my legs at all because
    I thought they were way too skinny when I was younger. I was
    self-conscious about my arms, too. I got teased all the time.
    They'd call me Green Giant. I was 6'4" in sixth grade, and I grew
    three inches every summer until eighth grade. I would try to lift
    weights, but I was growing so fast I could never keep up, I couldn't
    keep weight on. I had no biceps or chest muscles. I was never able
    to keep weight on until I got to the NBA. But back then, I took my
    anger out on the court. Once we got on the court, I went hard.

    It was tough for my mom because she could never keep up clothes-wise.
    At the time we were really struggling financially, so it became a
    burden. For a while I got clothes passed down from my cousin, but
    then I outgrew him, so the hand-me-downs weren't working so much.
    My mom also struggled to keep food on the table because I ate so
    much.

    I had to stop trick-or-treating when I was 11. That year, I was a
    vampire. I went trick-or-treating with some of my cousins, who were
    older than me. They were like 15, and nobody gave them any trouble.
    Meanwhile, I was 11, and I show up to a door -- "Trick or Treat!" --
    and the lady who answered was like, "Don't you think you're a little
    too old to be asking for candy?" I just walked away and that was it.

What's something about your body that would surprise us?

TC: Scouts have always been surprised by the way I'm able to move at my size.
    How fast and agile I am. Some of the big guys in the league come up to me
    and say it's not fair. I think because I didn't have one growth spurt --
    I just grew constantly -- I got used to my body.

What was your best athletic moment -- a time when everything clicked
and you felt completely in tune with your body?

TC: When I was in high school, I felt so athletic, so much quicker, so much
    stronger, able to jump so much higher than everybody else. That's when
    everything started to click.
