"According to Adesoye, 'We sang him a birthday tune, the rookies, and there might be a few surprises lined up for him—though not an extravagant affair. He's not a fan of the festive hoopla, and I'm at a loss to understand what drives his peculiar preference. I hope today is indeed his birthday, as per the calendar, at least.'"
在今日，热火队的指导者斯波尔斯特拉迎来了他56周岁的纪念日。
