Klay heartwarmingly gifts Make-A-Wish fan prized Kobe memento
Ｋ湯幫血癌小朋友圓夢 給了Kobe的簽名照
It was a dream come true for 15-year-old Joseph Tagaban when he met his
basketball hero, Klay Thompson, last week, but an unexpected gift from his
idol left him in awe.
上星期一位15歲的小男生Joseph Tagaban願望成真，他終於跟他的籃球偶像Ｋ湯見面，
然後他還得到了一件讓他欣喜不已的禮物。
For a segment of ESPN’s “My Wish” series that aired Wednesday, Thompson
was able to spend a day with Tagaban, a young basketball standout who learned
in December 2020 that he had a rare form of cancer known as acute myeloid
leukemia.
星期三播出的ESPN節目"我的願望"(My Wish)中，Ｋ湯花了一天的時間陪著Tagaban，這
位年輕的籃球員在前年12月得知他得了一種很少見的癌症叫急性骨髓性白血病。

"After nine months of treatment for a rare form of cancer, Joseph Tagaban knew
what he wanted for his wish: to meet @KlayThompson. The @Warriors' star made
that wish come true as Klay gave Joseph an unforgettable day"
「在經過九個月的治療後，Tagaban知道他想要許什麼願望：跟Ｋ湯見面。而這位勇士
明星則是讓他願望成真，他讓Tagaban度過難忘的一天。」

“Klay’s form, I mean, it’s absolutely so clean,” Tagaban told ESPN during
the segment. “It’s really satisfying just watching his game, and I just
overall appreciate it. And as a player, I’ve seen clips of him … he’s
super humble.”
「Ｋ湯的投球，就是個乾淨，」Tagaban說。「光看他的比賽就是讓人心滿意足，我就是
很愛。而自己身為一個球員，我看他的籃球片段...他真的超謙虛的。」
In partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, “My Wish” made it happen,
and Tagaban was able to spend time with Thompson at his offseason gym Friday.
在與Make-A-Wish基金會合作下，"我的心願"這節目讓他的夢想成真，Tagagan在上星期
五與休賽季的Ｋ湯一起度過。
It was there that Thompson gifted Tagaban with an autographed photo of Kobe
Bryant, tucked away into a black folder from the late legend’s 2007 Nike
Kobe Skills Academy. Thompson attended as a high school camper, while his
future teammate, Steph Curry, a sophomore at Davidson, was a college camper.
就是那時候Ｋ湯給了Tagaban一張有著Kobe簽名的Kobe照片，那是2007年Nike Kobe籃球
技巧營的時候，Ｋ湯是以高中籃球員的身分參加，而他的未來隊友咖哩則是在Davidson
大二，以大學生的身分參加。
“He’s the greatest,” Thompson said. “We miss him.”
「他是最偉大的球員，」Ｋ湯說。「我們都很想他。」
As Thompson handed over the photo he received when he was just a teen
himself, Tagaban was in shock.
當Ｋ湯把他在青少年獲得的Kobe簽名照給Tagaban的時候，Tagaban非常驚訝。
“For real?” Tagaban asked Thompson, clearly in awe at the
once-in-a-lifetime gift.
「真的嗎？」Tagaban問Ｋ湯，因為這是一生難得一次的禮物。
“Yeah, man, that’s yours,” Thompson responded.
「沒錯，兄弟，這是你的了，」Ｋ湯說。
It was a day to remember for Tagaban, who received shooting tips from
Thompson on the court, went for a spin in the Golden State star’s classic
car and even got ice cream with his hoops hero.
那一日對Tagaban來說是值得紀念的日子，他在球場上得到Ｋ湯的籃球技巧秘訣，跟著
Ｋ湯一起搭他的經典車，甚至跟他的籃球英雄一起吃冰淇淋。
And once their fun had come to an end, Thompson told The Mercury News why he
was willing to part with his prized Bryant possession.
最後，Ｋ湯跟記者說為何他願意把他珍貴的Kobe收藏品給出去。
"I just know he’s going through a hard time and I know he’ll cherish that
photo,” Thompson said. “Just such a special photo of mine, and I decided to
hook him up. He’s a great young man. He deserves it.”
「我知道他正經歷過一段困難的時光，我知道他會珍惜這張照片的，」Ｋ湯說。「就是
我有的一張特別的照片，所以我決定帶他入門，他是個很棒的年輕人，他值得得到這份
禮物。」
