I mean, it's... it's got some good food in there, like, it's just a cool spot, like, they got a little bit of everything.

那邊有好吃的食物，而且是一個很棒的地方，他們什麼食物都有。

The NBA's obsession with The Cheesecake Factory is well-documented.

NBA 球員對芝樂坊餐館的迷戀是有充分證據的。

Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves is known to take his teammates out for cheesecake while Russell Westbrook calls their brown bread "the BOMB.com".

大家都知道明尼蘇達灰狼的唐斯會帶他的隊友去吃起司蛋糕，而衛斯特布魯克說它們的黑麵包「有夠讚」。

There's even once a Twitter account dedicated to tracking NBA player sightings at the chain.

甚至還有一個推特帳號專門追蹤 NBA 球員在芝樂坊餐館連鎖店內用餐的照片。

The love has also trickled down to celebrities linked to the league.

這種熱愛也延伸到跟 NBA 聯盟有關的名人身上。

The Kardashians have been captured at Cheesecake by Just Jared, US Weekly, and X17.

卡戴珊家族也在芝樂坊餐館被 Just Jared、US Weekly 和 X17 等娛樂報社拍到過。

And Drake, who serves as global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, even featured it in one of his music videos.

擔任多倫多猛龍隊全球大使的德瑞克甚至在他的一支音樂影片中以該餐廳作為背景。

So, why is it that so many of them are obsessively flocking to a casual dining chain typically found in shopping malls?

到底為什麼那麼多人會特別喜歡聚集在一個購物商城隨便可見的連鎖餐館呢？

For one, it could be that The Cheesecake Factory has locations surrounding every NBA city.

其中ㄧ點可能是芝樂坊餐館都座落在 NBA 城市的周圍。

Meaning players can eat there whether they're at home or traveling for an away game.

代表球員無論是在主場還是客場比賽，都能在那吃到食物。

And since it's a chain, the food is typically pretty consistent whether you're in LA, Chicago, or Dallas.

因為那是連鎖店，所以無論你是在洛杉磯、芝加哥還是達拉斯，食物通常都會很一致。

The Cheesecake Factory for the players, I'd say, represents, one, familiarity.

我認為芝樂坊餐館對球員來說是一種熟悉感的代表。

41 games out of the regular season, they're on the road.

41 場常規賽的結束後，他們在回去的路上。

So, they wanna eat food that they know is good and that they know they can rely on.

他們想吃他們可以信賴且好吃的美食。

You know, when they go to play in their hometown, their friends and their family are gonna come out and they wanna go eat somewhere that can accommodate all of them.

當他們在家鄉比賽時，他們的親朋好友會想要一起出來吃飯，就要找個能容納他們所有人的餐館。

So, they're going to Cheesecake Factory and they're taking them all there; it's just a really good, dope scene.

所以他們都會帶親朋好友去芝樂坊餐館，那裡真的是個很好、很潮的地方。

Also, as anyone who's ever been to The Cheesecake Factory knows, the menu is so big it's spiral-bound.

還有去過芝樂坊餐館的人一定都知道他們的菜單大到要用螺旋裝訂。

With dishes ranging from filet mignon to Tex-Mex egg rolls, and the portions are notoriously oversized.

從菲力牛排到 Tex-Mex 春捲都有，每份都是出了名的大份量。

It can get real bad in there, like, you can get 8,000 calories on a meal in there, like.

在那裡吃飯真的超讚，你可以在一餐吃到八千卡。

[I] try to try something different every time but, you know, I could eat the same thing every single time.

我試著每次都點不一樣的東西，但我也可以每次都吃一樣的東西。

My go-to is the... the egg roll, the Tex, yeah, yeah, yeah, I... I get that all the time.

我必吃的是 Tex 春捲，我每次都點那個。

Buffalo Blast is probably the best things, uh, thing on the menu.

香辣爆炸雞角可能是菜單上最好吃的。

Aside from huge portions, what else keeps players going back to The Cheesecake Factory night after night?

除了大份量的餐點，還有什麼是讓球員每晚都回到芝樂坊餐館用餐的理由？

A lot of these guys are huge; look at Draymond Green, you look at Demarcus Cousins, these are borderline seven-footers.

球員們都很高大，看看格林和卡森斯，這些人身高都在七英尺的邊緣。

And they're not skinny; these are big guys.

Cheesecake Factory has the seating arrangements in a way that you could sit down and it's not a tiny seat.

芝樂坊餐館的座位配置不是只有一張小椅子，你想怎麼坐都行。

These guys need space, they need to lay their bodies out and have a good time, and Cheesecake Factory has that space.

這些球員需要空間，他們享樂時會需要把身體伸直，而芝樂坊餐館就有這個空間。

So, for all the fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite NBA player, The Cheesecake Factory might be almost as good as the court itself.

對想要一睹喜愛的 NBA 球員的粉絲們來說，芝樂坊餐館可能是最適合的地點。

Yeah, I like The Cheesecake Factory, man, they got so much good food.

當然，我喜歡芝樂坊餐館，他們有很多很好吃的食物。

Yo, it's big, so he's like, "Yeah, you gotta help me."

這超大的，所以他就說：「你要幫我吃。」

So... [I] tried a piece and, you know, the rest is really history.

我吃了一片，剩下的故事就不用贅述了。
