How important is a championship to your legacy?
問：贏得一座冠軍對你的成就遺產有多重要？
DL: I think it’s very important when you talk about how other people view
me. Of course, people are going to say, “You don’t have a ring.” You see
how people talk to Charles Barkley, and he’s Charles Barkley. He was a great
player. Of course it’s at the top of the list for me to win a championship.
I don’t train and come into seasons thinking about anything more than
wanting to win it this year. Personally, I know my body of work speaks for
itself. I haven’t won a championship, but I’ve won a lot of games. I’ve
had three seasons in my entire career where I wasn’t a winner out of 11
seasons. There were eight seasons where we were winning, and I was performing
consistently at the level I’ve performed at for 11 years. That has to mean
something, especially with how I’ve been as an individual, to go along with
my performance. That has to say something. A championship would mean a lot to
me, but in my personal opinion, if I don’t win it, it’s not the end all, be
all to me. I wouldn’t be happy with it, but I think when you talk about
other people’s perception, I think it’s extremely important to my legacy. It
’s extremely important to me, but my opinion of me not winning wouldn’t be
the same as others.
我認為當談到其他人如何看待我時，這非常重要。當然人們會說：“你沒有冠軍戒指。”
你看看人們是如何對待Charles Barkley的，但他可是Charles Barkley啊。他是一位偉
大的球員。當然，對我來說贏得一個冠軍是首要目標。我在訓練和進入賽季時，想的只是
希望在今年贏得冠軍。
就個人而言，我知道我的成就已經說明了一切。我沒有贏得冠軍，但我贏得了很多比賽。
在我11年的職業生涯中，只有三個賽季我不是一個贏家。有八個賽季我們都是贏家，而我
在這些賽季中一直保持了一貫的水準。這一定意味著什麼，特別是考慮到我個人的表現。
這一定有所代表。
對我來說，贏得冠軍意味著很多，但就我個人而言，如果我沒有贏得它，對我來說並不是
一切或最重要的事情。我不會對此感到滿意，但我認為當你提到他人的看法時，這對我的
遺產和我來說非常重要，但我對自己沒有贏得冠軍的看法，不會和其他人一樣。
