最近，美国媒体ClutchPoint在推特上发布了一张现役四位在上世纪90年代被选中的球员的合成照，引发了诸多球迷，尤其是老球迷的感慨。这四位都是谁呢？不用我说，想必大家都能猜得出来。
Vince Carter
半人半神——文斯·卡特
The days of Vinsanity may be long gone, but the 2000 Slam Dunk champ can still punish the rim at 41 years old. His true value to NBA teams, however, is with the experience he brings. Which is why the Hawks, who are into the second year of their roster rebuild, signed Carter to a one-year contract in July.
"卡疯狂"的日子可能一去不复返了，但是这位2000年扣篮大赛冠军在41岁的年纪仍然能够暴力虐筐。然而，对于NBA球队来说他真正的价值是他给球队带来的经验。目前进入重建期第二年的老鹰队也是因此，选择在今年七月以一年合同签下了卡特。
"This is probably Carter's final season before he transitions to broadcasting full time. He said this summer that he's "90-something percent" sure he'll retire at the end of the season." -- ESPN NBA reporter Tim MacMahon
ESPN NBA 的记者Tim MacMahon 报道说：“这很有可能是卡特的最后一个赛季，在这之后他将做一位全职的广播员。他说这赛季结束后，他有百分之九十几的可能性退役。”
Dirk Nowitzki
德国战车——德克·诺维茨基
His production and his minutes have dropped in recent seasons, but the 40-year-old big man remains a tough cover on the perimeter. He shot 41 percent from 3-point range last season, and his presence on the floor still commands respects and opens up space for his teammates to operate.
最近几个赛季，他的效率和出场时间均有下滑，但这位40岁的大个子仍然是让对手头痛的外线威胁。上赛季他的三分命中率高达41%，在场上依然值得让对手特别注意他，从而为队友拉开津贡空间。
"Nowitzki doesn't plan to make a decision on whether to retire until after this season. "I'm going to leave the door open on if I'm going to play another [season], but I'm going to approach this as if there's no tomorrow," Nowitzki said, citing how his body feels as the primary factor on whether he'll come back for a 22nd season." -- ESPN NBA reporter Tim MacMahon
ESPN记者报道说：“在这个赛季没有结束前，诺维茨基并没有计划作出是否退役的决定。”老司机说：“我还是会给是否退役留下选择空间，不会把话说死，但是我会把每个赛季都当成最后一个来打。”诺维茨基对自己的身体状况的感觉是他能否回归第22个赛季的首要因素。
Jason Terry
喷气机——杰森·特里
Terry insists that he's going to play a 20th season, and the team that takes a chance on him will get a shooter that can still fill it up from long range. Terry, who moved to shooting guard in the 2006-07 season, saw his 3-point percentage fall to a still respectable 34.8 percent last season. But in 2016-17, he recorded the second-highest 3-point percentage of his career at 42.7 percent.
特里声称他将要打第20个赛季，那些愿在他身上试一下的球队，将会得到一个靠谱射手。特里自2006至2007赛季以来改打得分后卫，刚开始他的三分命中率经历过下滑，但仍然达到了可观的34.8%。2016-17赛季他的三分命中率高达42.7%，这是他职业生涯第二高。
"This might not be up to Terry, who is still waiting for a call this summer. "-- ESPN NBA reporter Tim MacMahon
“这可能无法由特里决定，这个夏天，他仍然在等待某个球队经理的招募电话。” ESPN NBA 记者Tim MacMahon报道。
Manu Ginobili
马努-吉诺比利
Manu Ginobili, who will make a possible return in 2018-19, was selected by the Spurs in the second round of the 1999 NBA draft but didn't make his league debut until 2002.
在1999年NBA的选秀中，马努-吉诺比利在第二轮被马刺选中，但是直到2002年，马努才进行了他的联盟首秀。
