不專業翻譯機內容如下，若有翻譯不當之處請多包涵：
: Kobe Bryant is known as one of the NBA’s hardest-working players. During his
: 20-year tenure in the league, he set the bar for his work ethic and
: determination as a competitor.
Kobe在NBA裡是眾所皆知的訓練狂，在他20年的職業生涯裡，Kobe為自己的職業道德與
競爭者心態設下了一個絕對的標竿。
: It was not like that for everyone though, and even for guys in his own era, it
: was all about the money. As explained by Kobe himself in an interview with
: Patrick Bet-David, players often lost their dedication to win and improve once
: they secured the bag.
但並不是所有人都有像Kobe這樣的心態，即便是在Kobe的年代也是一樣。在接受Patrick
Bet-David的訪談中Kobe也解釋道：對很多球員來說，打NBA只是為了養家餬口，一旦生活
有了保障，大部分的球員便喪失了他們那份想要持續進步及想要贏的決心。
: “In the NBA, it was actually easier. What I found in the NBA is a lot of guys
: played for financial stability. When they came in the NBA, they got that
: financial stability. Therefore the passion and the work ethic and the
: obsessiveness was gone. I’m looking at that and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s
: like taking candy from a baby. No wonder Mike wins all these f—ing
: championships,” Kobe explained.
「在NBA裡打球其實更加容易，我發現這些傢伙打球只是為了一份穩定的經濟來源，他們
進了NBA就代表著他們有了穩定的經濟來源，而這些傢伙身上的那股熱情、職業道德甚至
說那種想要更卓越的執著已然消失殆盡。我看著不禁覺得：要贏過這些人就像是從小嬰兒
手上搶走糖果一般容易，難怪Mike能一而再再而三的贏得那該死的冠軍。」
: It’s not hard to see why players get numb to the game after getting a paycheck
: . After all, they’ve got security for the rest of their lives.
難怪這些球員根本就對比賽的結果毫不關心，畢竟他們領的薪水已經足夠讓這一輩子都
衣食無缺了。
: For Bryant though, and a few in his air, it was more than just about the cash.
: They wanted greatness, they wanted excellence, and they wanted to create a
: legacy that lasted for years. He had a deep love for the game.
對Kobe以及少數與他相似的人來說，他所渴求的遠遠不只有金錢這麼簡單，他們渴望成就
偉大，他們想要卓越非凡，他們希望自己所成就的能影響後世。這就是Kobe對籃球的這份
摯愛。
: Mike was similar in that mentality, which is why he ate up the competition on a
: daily basis. It all makes so much sense now…
Mike的心理層面也與Kobe相似，這也是他為甚麼把面對競爭這件事情當作日常生活的一部
分，這樣來看的話，一切都說得通了.....
總結：翻譯的破破的，但是怎麼樣看Kobe都是在讚揚MJ的mentality，不會為了生活安穩
就有所動搖呀～
