Why a police officer working Pelicans game has
a Mavericks’ championship ring ?
什麼！鵜鶘的保全有小牛的冠軍戒？
Andre Menzies has been working as a police officer for more than 35 years. He
’s done security work for Michael Jackson, among others, and now works at
New Orleans Pelicans games at Smoothie King Center.
So what’s he doing wearing a Dallas Mavericks’ championship ring?
Menzies從事保全工作已經超過35年了。
他當過Michael Jackson的保全，現在他在鵜鶘擔任保全工作。
那為什麼他戴著小牛的冠軍戒咧？
Menzies told the story before Saturday’s game. In 2011, the Mavericks made a
late-season trip to New Orleans and owner Mark Cuban, who had gotten to know
Menzies through the years, was talking to him near the Mavericks’ bench.
“I told Mark that day that they were going to win the championship,”
Menzies said. “I asked him if they did if I was going to get a ring. He
said I’d get a ring. And the man came through.”
Menzies在今天賽前為大家解答了！
在2011年時，小牛季賽最後來到紐奧良做客，
隨行的當然包括了瘋狂老闆Cuban。
那時Menzies就跟Cuban說：＂你們會贏的總冠軍的！
到時候可以分我一個冠軍戒嗎？＂
煞氣的Cuban當然說沒問題，他後來也實現他的承諾！
Cuban confirmed the story and said the ring is authentic.
“I wrote the check for it,” he said.
Menzies said he told colleagues of the promise by Cuban to give him a ring.
Nobody believed it until it arrived about the same time the Mavericks got
theirs on opening night of the 2011-12 season.
“They asked if it was real and I said I insured it like it’s real, so it’s
real,” Menzies said.
Cuban證實過這件事，也說那戒指不是假貨啊！
Menzies說一開始大家都不相信他說Cuban會給他冠軍戒，
直到我在小牛隊2011-12球季開幕戰左右收到戒指時，才相信我的話><
Menzies：＂他們都問我這是真假？我保證這跟真的沒兩樣，
所以這是真的冠軍戒啦！＂
