NBA Joins Red Cross, UNICEF to Aid Asia Relief EffortsPosted May 16 2008 1:33PMNew York, May 16, 2008 -- The National Basketball Association announced today that in response to the recent tragedies in Asia, NBA Cares is supporting the efforts of the Red Cross and UNICEF to provide emergency relief to the people affected by the recent earthquake in China and Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, respectively. The league’s Chinese players, Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets and Yi Jianlian of the Milwaukee Bucks, have taped public service announcements encouraging fans to contribute to the relief efforts in China. The PSAs, taped in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, are scheduled to begin airing immediately on playoff broadcasts in the United States and in China. Several NBA teams, including the Houston Rockets and its owner Leslie Alexander, are contributing financial resources to support the relief efforts. NBA players including Steve Nash, Baron Davis, Jason Kidd, Greg Oden, Raymond Felton, Leandro Barbosa, Andris Biedrins, Marko Jaric and Marcus Williams, among others, have already stepped forward to contribute as well. In addition to the PSA campaign, and the efforts of the teams and players, the NBA is contributing financial resources and featuring information and links for fans to get involved in the relief efforts on NBA.com. NBA Cares is also supporting community partners UNICEF and the World Food Programme who are working around the clock to assist the relief efforts in Myanmar following the destruction left behind by Cyclone Nargis, which hit the Southeast Asian country on May 2. 

介于捐款的事情造成的不良影响，在查看了NBA官方网站后，找到了以上材料，sohu体育对此进行了翻译。目前并无NBA球星（当然姚明，易建联除外）为此次灾难进行募捐，但是大家正在筹备中，出席的球员在上文中写了出来，估计火箭队全体队员也会出席（这个是本人的猜测）首先我们应该感谢Steve Nash, Baron Davis, Jason Kidd, Greg Oden, Raymond Felton, Leandro Barbosa, Andris Biedrins, Marko Jaric and Marcus Williams这些准备为此次灾难的球员，其次我们真的应该有必要感谢姚明和易建联这两位球员，他们为灾区人民的事情奔走募捐，对于有说法姚明是迫于压力才追加到200W，其实仔细想一想不难发现我们捐款的第一感觉基本不会考虑我们一次要捐多少或者总共要捐献多少，一般是手头还有多少钱就捐个一部分，慢慢的如果觉得自己还有能力的话还会追加了。其次姚明和易建联在外国人心中就代表了中国人，一个生活在他们世界里的中国人，因为有了他们中国人和美国人才更加贴近了，他们家园遭遇了灾难，才会让这些美国人感觉到灾难就在他们的周围，他们的朋友需要帮助，NBA没有缅甸人所以NBA球星们没有为缅甸捐款，美国人看不到其他中国人，只有看到这两位，无疑如果我们自己摸黑了他们也就是摸黑了我们自己。从他们的表现来看真的是没有什么可以挑剔，所以也请尊重他们。最后想要说的是人一定要靠自己，以中国现在的国力来说靠自己完全能渡过灾难，帮助他们重新家园，不要去依赖别人，但是如果人家乐意帮忙我们应该对帮忙的人表示感谢，在自己渡过难关之后报答人家。这次危难时刻，我们需要的是团结，团结每一个人，共建美丽家园。PS：至于TD，姚明和TD的私下接触不多，恐怕就是每年的ALL-STAR上的几次交流，不过我影响最深的是这几届全明星赛上的比赛中姚明的得分多半来自TD的传球，也许是英雄惜英雄吧。捐款还没开始，更加没有结束，期待TD给我们一个惊喜。

TD还有基金会呢。其实也不抱太大希望了..毕竟跟人家关系不大..

= =你怎么看文章喜欢看PS啊～～我不是说指望他了～～只是说这个时候没必要再不团结了
