Kobe Bryant admits he wanted to play without Shaquille O’Neal to prove he cou
ld win titles on his own
“Here is the thing. I get chastised a lot for being selfish, saying we just g
ot to fit into a team, it’s about winning championships,” said Bryant. “I g
et it, I’m doing it, right? We won three straight. I got it.
情況是這樣，（與Shaq搭檔期間）我經常被批評打球自私，外界都說我們必須融入球隊，
重要的是奪冠。我明白，我也這麼做了。我們完成了三連霸。
But I also knew that when my career’s over they’re going to chastise me for
the same thing: ‘Oh well, you’re only great because you played with Shaq.’
I’m like, ‘Whoa, hold up. You can’t have it both ways, bro?’ You know?”
但是我當時也知道，等到我退役的時候，別人又會批評我：噢，你之所以偉大是因為你和
Shaq一起打球。我會覺得，等等，我怎麼做都不討好？你懂我的意思嗎？
“So it was important for me and Shaq to go separate ways because I didn’t wa
nt people to use that against me — they still do — but it was important that
I win championships without him,” Bryant continued.
所以對我來說，和Shaq分開很重要，因為我不想因為這點被別人說閒話，雖然他們依然會
，但重要的是，我在身邊沒有Shaq的情況下也奪冠了。
“And you get a glimpse of what I could have done individually had I not playe
d with him. See what I’m saying? So that was a big driving factor. It was lik
e, ‘Hold on, don’t get it f***ed up now.’ Like, I’m doing this thing, I’m
playing with Shaq, it’s like — take Mike put him with Wilt — Shaq was a fo
rce of nature, right? So you’ve kind of take a back seat.”
你可以看到我在沒有他的時候所取得的成就。知道我在說什麼嗎？所以這是一個很大的驅
動因素。和Shaq一起打球，或者你想像Michael（Jordan）在張伯倫身邊打球。Shaq自然
會成為核心，你只能排在他後面。
