魔術強森：從未想過找其他有名的球員聯手
There is a huge difference between the NBA today and what it was a few decades a
go. The biggest difference that fans can notice is the abundance of superteams i
n the modern era. Many superstars have decided to join forces in order to find a
n easy way to win NBA Championships in the modern era.
今天的NBA和幾十年前已經有了巨大的不同。球迷們能注意到的最大不同是現代超級球隊的
數量太多了。在現代許多超級球星已經決定聯手，以找到一個簡單的方法來贏得NBA總冠軍
。
But during the 1980s or the 1990s, that wasn't the norm. The players didn't have
such huge freedom during free agency. More importantly, the superstars didn't w
ant to join forces either. Instead, they wanted to compete against each other. M
ichael Jordan famously said he would never call up Magic Johnson and Larry Bird
to form a superteam with them.
但在20世紀80年代或90年代，這並不是常態。球員在自由球員市場上沒有這麼大的自主權。
更重要的是，球星們也不想聯手。相對的，他們想要相互競爭。MJ曾說過一句名言，他永遠
不會招募魔術強森和大鳥與他們組成一支超級球隊。
The 1992 Dream Team was one of the most amazing teams ever formed in the history
of basketball. The likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and many
other NBA superstars played for Team USA to win the gold medal.
1992年的夢之隊是籃球歷史上最令人驚嘆的球隊之一。MJ、魔術強森、大鳥和許多其他NBA
超級球星為美國隊贏得了金牌。
There are many amazing stories during the time these superstars played together
for Team USA. Magic Johnson recently shared a hilarious story about how Michael
Jordan pulled off a 360 dunk against David Robinson in a Dream Team practice. Af
ter that, Magic went on to explain why he never even thought about forming a sup
erteam with Jordan.
在這些超級球星一起為美國隊效力期間，有許多令人驚嘆的故事。魔術強森最近分享了一個
有趣的故事，關於MJ如何在夢之隊訓練中對海軍上將完成360度灌籃。在那之後，魔術強森
繼續解釋為什麼他從來沒有想過和MJ組建一支超級球隊。
"No, no, you know what, I wasn't a guy like that. I never wanted to play with no
body but my dudes. I was good. I've always been a dude wherever I end up, that's
what I'm rolling with. Even pick-up games. I never tried to get all the name du
des. I tried to get dudes who wanted to play. I liked that underdog thing anyway
. Come on, let's go beat these dudes over here. And so that was always my mindse
t and I'm glad. But I would say this, that's what makes sports special. Not, eve
rybody joining each other. Go make it happen."
魔術強森：不，不，你知道嗎，我不是那種人。我只想和我的傢伙們一起打球。我很好，無
論我到哪裡我都是這樣的傢伙，這就是我所做的，甚至在野場比賽中也是如此。我從沒想過
要找所有有名的傢伙一起打球，我試圖找到想打球的傢伙。不管怎樣，我喜歡當不被看好的
一方，來吧，我們去打敗那些傢伙。所以這一直是我的心態，而且我對此很高興。但我想說
的是，這就是體育的特別之處，而不是，每個人互相加入彼此。去實現它吧。
