Charles Barkley on Everything
老巴講故事
因為很長，我就擷取他講NBA的部分。
On today’s NBA 現在的NBA
SI: LeBron’s now the all-time NBA scoring leader. Conversation over? Is he
the best player ever now?
記者問：LBJ現在是史上得分總數最高的球員，所以那些討論結束了嗎？他是迄今最棒
的球員嗎？
CB: I don’t like that question because I think the best way to answer that
question is to say, “Is he the greatest player of this generation?” Because
I don't think it’s fair to Michael. ’Cause he was the greatest player of my
generation. Kareem was the greatest player of his generation. I mean, you
look at Magic and Bird. So, I don't know; it’s all perspective. I will say
this about LeBron. I think his story is the greatest story in sports history.
老巴：我不喜歡這種問題，因為我認為最好的方式陳述這個問題應該是，「LBJ是這個世
代最偉大的球員嗎？」因為我認為你這樣問對MJ來說不公平，因為MJ是我這個世代裡最
偉大的球員。就像賈霸是他那個世代最偉大的球員一樣，我的意思是，看一下魔術跟大
鳥他們。所以，我不知道怎麼回答，端看你從哪方面來看。我會這樣說LBJ，我認為他的
故事會是運動史裡面最棒的。
SI: Why do you say that?
記者：為什麼你會這樣說呢？
CB: What I mean by that is, you look at other great players who went directly
from high school to the pros. Kobe Bryant struggled, Kevin Garnett struggled,
Tracy McGrady struggled, Dwight Howard struggled. LeBron is the only one who
had success from Day One. He was really good Day One. He’s obviously up here
now. But the most amazing thing about him, in this 24-hour news cycle,
cellphones, internet, he’s never gotten in trouble.
老巴：我會這樣說是，你看看其他那些從高中直接跳進職業的球員，Kobe掙扎過，KG掙扎
過，T-Mac掙扎過，魔獸掙扎過。LBJ是唯一一個從第一天進來就是成功的，就是從第一天
開始就是這麼棒，現在還是一樣。但是，最讓人驚豔的是，以現在這樣快速的新聞傳播，
手機，網路世代，他依舊從沒陷入麻煩過。
SI: No scandal.
記者：他沒有醜聞過。
CB: No scandal. To be, number one, ready at 18, to where he is 20 years
later, the greatest scorer in NBA history. I think it’s the greatest story
in sports history. For a guy to be that good from Day One and never screw up
is amazing.
老巴：完全沒有！18歲就準備好成為第一人，而在20年後，成為了史上最棒的得分球員，
我認為這是運動史上最棒的故事，一個從第一天進入職業就是這樣棒的球員，而從來沒有
搞砸過，這真的很讓人驚艷。
SI: Came in with crazy hype, exceeded that—
記者：進入NBA，大家對他有非常高的期待，而他超過了大家的期待
