Rich Paul Rips Michael Jordan's Former Agent Over LeBron James Criticism

日前MJ生涯的長期經紀人David Falk提到若MJ精心組隊加上兩位超巨，生涯會拿15冠。
富保羅針對此言論回擊David Falk
"The cherry picking terminology of it all, coming from someone who literally h
ad John Thompson, Dean Smith, and Mike Krzyzewski supporting his business, put
ting superstar athletes in his lap. I think he was part of the cherry clan. I
just thought it was very unfair and a little beneath David Falk for a number o
f reasons."
富保羅：精心挑選這個詞出自他之口，他明明有John Thompson（喬治城大學傳奇教練）
、Dean Smith（北卡傳奇教練）、K教練（杜克傳奇教練）的支持，他能任意選超級球星
級別的運動員，他太有得選了，我覺得他那麼說不公平且有失他的身份。
"We can’t have revisionist history, and we all want to determine who’s the G
.O.A.T and who’s the best and so on and so forth. But I just thought that was
a little beneath David to say that."
我們不能有歷史修正主義，我們都想確定誰是GOAT，誰是最棒的等等，但我真的覺得他這
麼說有點不合適。
"When you look at that, right, again the cherry-pick, I've discussed that. The
two other superstars - Michael never had to leave Michael's never been the un
derdog in any Finals. Not one time."
再來看看所謂的精心挑選，我之前就討論過這一點。關於另外兩位超級巨星——MJ從未被
迫離開過，從未在任何一次總決賽中成為不被看好的一方，一次都沒有。
"Michael never had a 24-hour, 365 news cycle. He never had shows built strictl
y to criticize him. People made millions of dollars criticizing LeBron James.
That was their entire job. And when you talk about the difficulty of it all, M
ichael played for Dean Smith, Michael played for Phil Jackson, and Michael had
Jerry Krause."
MJ打球時沒有24小時、全年無休的新聞循環，沒有專門為批評他而存在的節目，人們靠批
評LBJ賺得盆滿缽滿，這甚至成了他們的全職工作。當談到這一切的難度時，MJ有Dean Sm
ith（大學教練）、Phil Jackson（NBA教練），還有Jerry Krause（公牛總經理）。
"I'm the biggest Michael Jordan fan ever, love Michael Jordan, and I don't thi
nk Michael Jordan would've used the term 'cherry-pick,' so I'm not up here to
discredit Michael Jordan. I think Michael Jordan transcended our game to a lev
el that we all benefitted from."
我是MJ的超級粉絲，我愛MJ，而且我認為MJ本人絕不會用精心挑選這種詞。我不是來貶低
MJ的，他將籃球運動提升到了一個讓所有人都受益的高度。
