以下正文:
Last March, J. J. Redick, a guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, confessed some
of the worst financial mistakes he had made as a professional athlete. Shortly
after being drafted by the Magic, in 2006, for instance, Redick purchased a
house in Orlando, which he eventually sold at a loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Later, he splurged on a Porsche, which caused him back problems, before
selling it two months later. And, at a charity auction, he bought a custom
yellow golf cart with chrome rims, which didn’t have space to hold golf clubs
(He got rid of that, too.) “I think youth may have something to do with these
bad decisions,” he said. “God, I was stupid.”
去年三月的時候，快艇後衛J.J. Redick(以下簡稱JJ)，
承認了一些他作為職業運動選手曾經犯下的財務上的錯誤。
在被魔術選走的不久之後，舉例來說，JJ馬上就在奧蘭多買了棟房子，
而這棟房子他最後脫手時賠了10幾萬。
而後，他撒大錢買了台保時捷，
在賣掉這台車的兩個月以前，它還讓JJ的背部有些問題。
此外，在一場慈善拍賣會上，
他買了一台黃色的高爾夫球車，但這球車沒地方放球桿。(當然JJ後來賣掉了這台車)
「我認為這些糟糕的決定可能跟當時太年輕有關」，JJ表示，
「天啊，我那時候超蠢的」
Redick, who is now thirty-two, revealed these bad decisions on a podcast—his
own. “The Vertical Podcast with JJ Redick” grew out of a conversation that
Redick had in 2015 with the sportswriter Adrian Wojnarowski, who was launching
a new basketball publication for Yahoo. Wojnarowski asked Redick if he was
interested in writing blog posts about life as a pro athlete, which could be
published periodically throughout the season. “I started getting anxiety
thinking back to my college term papers and having a deadline,”Redick told me
recently. Besides, the idea seemed a little too similar to The Players' Tribune
, a digital outlet that also publishes personal essays written by athletes.
“I have no issue with The Players’ Tribune,” Redick said. “But if we’re
going to do it, let’s do something different.”
而現在已經32歲的JJ，是在屬於他自己的Podcast(抱歉我真的不知道要怎麼翻比較貼切@@)
