籃網球迷家中失火僅剩「11號球衣」 厄文暖心舉動被推爆
儘管NBA因爲新冠肺炎全面停擺,但仍有暖心的故事傳出,日前一名18歲的籃網球迷薩林(Fahad Saleem)家中發生火災,他的房間被燒個精光,僅剩下牆壁上掛着的厄文(Kyrie Irving)球衣沒被燒掉,而厄文在輾轉得知此事後,也特別爲薩林在球衣上簽名。
3月初時薩林家中發生火災,他事後想要整理房間時,發現所有東西都被燒得面目全非,僅剩下牆上掛的厄文球衣還健在,儘管球衣上佈滿灰塵,但他仍相當欣慰。薩林表示他是死忠的籃網球迷,這次的火災燒燬了他兩件汀威迪(Spencer Dinwiddie)的球衣,儘管很難過,但幸好厄文的球衣還在。
A Kyrie Irving jersey was the only thing remaining after Nets diehard fan Fahad Saleem’s home caught fire. @KyrieIrving heard about it and signed the jersey: "With peace and love, we all can heal from life's unexpected events.”(via @RocNationSports) pic.twitter.com/Brhy726fmu
當被問到爲何厄文的球衣會是房間裡唯一的「倖存物」,薩林認爲「就像厄文在本賽季面臨許多逆境,但他仍堅強面對。就像在這次大火過後,厄文的球衣是唯一堅強留下來的東西」。
事後厄文輾轉得知薩林的遭遇,他也特地在該件球衣上簽名,並且留言「在愛與和平之中,我們都可以在意外中重新奮起,很開心你(薩林)沒事」。對此,薩林也在個人推特上表示「大家都該停止仇視厄文,他在我的球衣上留下很棒的勉勵訊息,他讓我重新站起來,真的相當感謝他」。
Everybody gotta stop hating on @KyrieIrving saying he should do more and what he did was not enough. BRUH ! He took my jersey and signed it with a nice message. What more do you want him to do? He kept me head up. Thank you for supporting and appreciate all the love
