拒绝国王奇才合同！Shams：37岁威少选择"按自己的方式"告别NBA_我的网站

一 |     资深NBA记者Shams Charania披露，萨克拉门托国王与华盛顿奇才本赛季休赛期均向拉塞尔-威斯布鲁克提供了合同，但这位37岁的2017年MVP主动拒绝报价，选择"按自己的方式离开比赛"。    NEW YORK -- On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's First Folio, rare originals are being displayed and publishers are offering collectors editions of Shakespeare's plays, including one that sells for $1,500.Scholars believe that between 200-300 copies still survive from the late 1623 release of “Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies." Presided over by two friends and former colleagues of Shakespeare, who had died in 1616, the Folio ensured that lasting texts existed for “Macbeth,” “Twelfth Night” and other cornerstones of Western literature. In Shakespeare's lifetime, many of his works were unpublished or available only in cheap paperback editions.“Without the First Folio we would have lost a world of words,” Gregory Doran, artistic director emeritus of the Royal Shakespeare Company, writes in the introduction to “The Complete Plays” of Shakespeare, a new publication.First folios have been on exhibit everywhere from the British Museum to the New York Public Library and at least two major book projects will mark the anniversary. The British Museum is collaborating with Rizzoli Books in New York on “Shakespeare’s First Folio: 400th Anniversary Facsimile Edition,” contained within a slipcase cover. With a list price of $150, the book is 928 pages and includes an introductory booklet co-written by Adrian Edwards, head curator of the British Library’s Printed Heritage Collections.The most ambitious, and exclusive project, is “The Complete Plays,” a limited edition from the Folio Society, an employee-owned company in London that puts out customized volumes ranging from "Beowulf" to George R.R. Martin's “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. The Society has printed just 1,000 copies of the 3-volume box set, with a list price of $1,500. Besides Doran's introduction, the Folio Society release includes a foreword by Dame Judi Dench. Each set is hand-numbered by illustrator Neil Packer.More than three-quarters of “The Complete Plays” have already sold, according to the publisher.“In an era when everything seems disposable, I feel like there's a good market for fine editions of classic books,” says Folio Society publishing director Tom Walker.The First Folio was daring, even audacious for its time, when such publications were “reserved for learned treatises, hefty genealogical texts, books of religious or historiographical importance, or even works by monarchs,” according to Shakespeare scholar Chris Laoutaris. Before Shakespeare the only playwright known to have been so honored was his contemporary Ben Jonson, who honored himself by overseeing “The Workes of Benjamin Jonson” in 1616. While the British Museum edition is relatively affordable, the Folio Society's production is closer to the intended market for the original release."Only those with deep pockets, and the space to read them, could afford such luxurious products," says Laoutaris, an associate professor at the Shakespeare Institute in the playwright's native Stratford-On-Avon and author of “Shakespeare’s Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the Fist Folio,” which came out this year. “When it was released, the First Folio cost more to produce than any other collection of plays in history up until that point.”The Folio proved successful enough that an updated edition, the Second Folio, was published in 1632, a Third Folio in 1663 and a fourth in 1685. By the 19th century, the original Folio was becoming a valued piece of history, in part through the efforts of collectors Henry and Emily Folger, and a symbol of might for the British Empire. Sir George Grey, who had served as a colonial governor, established libraries worldwide that included copies of the First Folio.“For Grey, the First Folio represented the pinnacle of culture, but specifically English culture,” Laoutaris says. “He sought nothing less than the obliteration of the language and culture of the native populations in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, nurturing a desire to replace these with the English language and its literary products." The United States is home to more than half of all existing copies of the First Folio, followed by the United Kingdom and Japan, with handfuls of editions also existing in Germany, France, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand among other countries. For antiquarians, the First Folio is the greatest of prizes: One sold for $9.9 million in 2020. For scholars and countless admirers, the Folio is secondary to the plays themselves."Shakespeare’s stature, for the past 400 years, is a reflection of his plays’ staying power on the stage far more than their survival in a collected works," says James Shapiro, a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University and author of several books on Shakespeare.“You can buy a Ben Jonson folio for a few thousand dollars; a Shakespeare folio will cost you millions. The reason for this simple: the remarkable afterlife of his comedies, histories, and tragedies in theaters throughout the world.”。         Shams Charania援引消息源称，国王和奇才均向威斯布鲁克开出了正式合同，但球员最终选择退役，结束18年NBA生涯。8月4日，资深NBA记者马克-斯坦因曾透露国王希望引进一名老将控卫指导新秀达里乌斯-阿库夫（Darius Acuff Jr.），并将威少列为候选；如今Shams进一步确认两队均提出了正式报价，但威少决定离开。后续报道补充，国王最近数周仍与威少进行续约讨论，但角色将明显缩减——球队已打算将后场方向交给新秀控卫阿库夫。         当地时间8月12日（北京时间8月13日凌晨），威斯布鲁克通过个人社交账号发布了一段由演员迈克尔-B-乔丹（Michael B. Jordan）配音的生涯回顾视频，正式宣布退役。

二 | "有时候你甚至不知道自己已经看到了结局，"现年37岁的威少写道，"你必须亲历其中。而现在，一切都结束了。"          整个生涯横跨18个赛季，威少先后效力于超音速/雷霆、火箭、奇才、湖人、快船、掘金和国王七支球队。2008年他在首轮第4顺位被西雅图超音速选中，随球队迁至俄克拉荷马城。2016-17赛季，他成为继奥斯卡-罗伯特森1962年之后首位在整个赛季场均拿下三双的球员，场均31.6分10.7篮板10.4助攻、单季42次三双创下NBA历史纪录，并加冕常规赛MVP；退役时他以生涯209次三双超越罗伯特森181次的原纪录，稳居历史三双王。生涯场均数据定格在20.9分、6.9篮板和8.0助攻，9次入选全明星，9次入选年度最佳阵容。上赛季他为国王首发58场，场均贡献15.2分、6.7助攻和5.4篮板。他也是继勒布朗-詹姆斯之后，NBA历史上仅有的两位生涯累计达成25000分10000助攻的球员。         威斯布鲁克的经纪人、Excel Sports Management创始人杰夫-施瓦茨（Jeff Schwartz）日前就老将在新版劳资协议下签约困难的问题公开发声："湖人队以120亿美元易主，但球队却因为现有劳资协议规则不愿在老将身上花钱。谢谢工会。"这也从侧面解释了为何一位仍具即战力的前MVP，在收到两份正式合同后选择主动告别。
