11月4日,据24直播网报道,雷霆队宣布,计划在来年二月为其传奇球星威少举行球衣退役仪式。在最近的《Road Trippin' Show》访谈中,威少的昔日队友肯德里克·帕金斯深情回忆了他们在雷霆并肩作战的日子,并对威少的职业生涯给予了极高的赞誉。

帕金斯强调,威少的离队并非单方面决定,而是双方共同的选择。若非如此,他本有机会身着雷霆战袍结束自己的篮球生涯。球队当时正准备步入重建之路,乔治的转会后,威少也面临着必要的调整。在我看来,威少无疑是NBA史上最杰出的控球后卫之列,他也是我职业生涯中遇到的最杰出人物之一。他,一个真正的硬汉。

Upon his arrival at the Thunder, Perkins recounted an episode from his early days: "Upon my first arrival in Oklahoma City, Garnett sent me a text, inquiring about the progress of a young player on our team. I understood he was referring to Kevin Durant. I informed him that Durant was a diligent worker, dedicating himself to the training facility daily to enhance his skills. Yet, I also emphasized that it was Westbrook who truly supported the team, embodying its spirit."

Upon the team's return from a challenging road trip to Orlando, I was summoned into the office by Head Coach Scott Brooks. He informed me that the squad was a youthful ensemble, significantly distinct from the one I had previously been part of, and advised me to acclimate myself accordingly. "You'll want to fight side by side with this individual each evening," he expressed. Russell Westbrook has injected a sense of character and self-assurance into the team, while Kevin Durant stands as the finest player in the roster, yet it is Westbrook who has bestowed upon the squad an indomitable spirit.

在帕金斯眼中,威斯布鲁克与凯文·加内特有着相似之处:“在我职业生涯的巅峰时刻,只有两位球员能够在我踏入客场球馆时,立刻激发出一种与世界为敌的气势,他们分别是威斯布鲁克和加内特。他们的存在能够赋予你无尽的能量,让你坚信今晚将是一场与世界抗争的较量。威斯布鲁克同样是一位杰出的个体。我对他的父母怀有深厚的敬意,他无疑将永远赢得俄克拉荷马城球迷的喜爱。他为这个社区贡献了无数。”

在赛事的尾声,帕金斯重申,威斯布鲁克展现了卓越的职业生涯,雷霆队为其退役球衣当之无愧,同时,他先前提出的为威少塑造雕像的想法亦不失为一个值得深思的提议。
