Topics
Caitlin Clark: 我在大学期间根本没准备好要交税，这让我意识到NIL协议的出现对运动员来说既是机遇也是挑战，需要更好地处理税务问题。我获得学术全美最佳队员的荣誉对我来说意义重大，因为我妈妈为我的学业感到骄傲。获得《时代》杂志年度运动员称号很酷，因为能与我从小崇拜的运动员们一起出现在名单上，而且我是少数获得此殊荣的女性运动员之一。我从小就是堪萨斯城酋长队的球迷，并非因为他们最近的成功才开始支持他们。我2024年的经历可以用“改变人生”来形容，我的生活变化很快，这源于我职业生涯的快速发展和社交媒体的影响。刚进入WNBA时，我努力寻找自己的位置，既不想说太多，也不想说太少。Tamika Catchings 对我进入 WNBA 的职业生涯起到了很大的帮助作用。我考虑过在大学多待一年，但最终决定进入 WNBA。WNBA 的赛程安排与其他职业联赛不同，赛季节奏很快，但奥运会期间的休息时间对我来说非常重要。我选择爱荷华大学是因为它位于中西部地区，离家较近，并且球队有提升空间。大学期间的个人代言协议（NIL）改变了很多，但也带来了挑战。我认为大学运动员应该对大学有更强的承诺，也许可以考虑签订类似合同的协议。我职业生涯中最难忘的经历之一是在意大利和克罗地亚的海外比赛，那次旅行让我和队友们建立了深厚的友谊。我最喜欢的篮球鞋是科比的球鞋，因为它们既好看又舒适。如果我不打篮球，我想我会从事体育行业，例如在体育组织的前台工作。对下一位想成为像我一样的球员的建议是：享受每一刻，保持热情，不要过于认真。 Travis Kelsey: 我在大学期间根本没准备好要交税。我认为NBA全明星赛应该恢复东西部对抗的赛制，我不喜欢NBA现在搞的那些花里胡哨的比赛形式，我觉得应该回归到最纯粹的篮球比赛。我认为NBA的收视率下降可能与比赛的观赏性、身体对抗程度以及与橄榄球比赛的竞争有关。我认为大学运动员应该对大学有更强的承诺，也许可以考虑签订类似合同的协议。 Jason Kelsey: 我在大学期间根本没准备好要交税。我认为NBA全明星赛应该恢复东西部对抗的赛制，我不喜欢NBA现在搞的那些花里胡哨的比赛形式，我觉得应该回归到最纯粹的篮球比赛。我认为NBA的收视率下降可能与比赛的观赏性、身体对抗程度以及与橄榄球比赛的竞争有关。我认为大学运动员应该对大学有更强的承诺，也许可以考虑签订类似合同的协议。
