Michael Jordan's good friend and fellow Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has a theory as to why the Chicago Bulls legend has largely failed as an NBA executive, and it has to do with the people around him, including those in the Charlotte Bobcats' front office. 身为Michael Jordan的好友也同样是篮球名人堂的成员，Charles Barkley对传奇球星 Jordan在NBA球队执行上失败多於成功的现象提出了看法，症结点就在於包含了山猫队制 服组在内，他身边的那群人(简单来说就是亲信)。 "I think the biggest problem has been I don't know if he has hired enough people around him who he will listen to," Barkley said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check. They want to fly around on your private jet so they never disagree with you. I don't think Michael has hired enough people around him who will disagree." 「我认为最大的问题在於他没有雇用够多他愿意聆听(意见)的人」Barkley在ESPN节目中 谈到：「当你有名时，你身边的人也会有所改变。你付他们薪水所以他们很少会反对你( 的意见)，他们希望跟你一起乘坐你的私人喷射机所以他们从来不会反对你。我不认为 Michael在他身边雇用了足够愿意反对他的人。」 Barkley, who is a TNT analyst, did not mince words when evaluating his friend's performance in the front office. 现任TNT球评的Barkley对他好友在制服组的表现直言不讳的道出批评。 "I love Michael, but he just has not done a good job," Barkley said. "Even though he is one of my great friends, I can't get on here and tell you he's done a great job. He has not done a great job, plain and simple." 「我爱Michael，不过他目前做的(球团营运)不好，」Barkley说：「即使他是我最好的朋 友之一，我也不能在这里跟你说他做的很好。他做的不够好，就这麽简单、清楚。」 Jordan's Bobcats have the NBA's worst record at 4-29 and have lost 19 of their last 20 games. Jordan fired coach Larry Brown early last season with the Bobcats coming off their first and only playoff berth and purged payroll when he traded one-time All-Star Gerald Wallace for two first-round picks and let point guard Raymond Felton leave in free agency. Jordan的山猫目前战绩是全联盟最差的4-29，最近20场比赛更是只赢了1场。在山猫第一 次也是唯一打进季後赛的球季後，Jordan上季开除了教练Larry Brown并且开始节省开支 ，他把一次入围明星赛的Gerald Wallace 交易来两个後段首轮签，也让控卫Raymond Felton在自由球员市场中被签走。 Jordan became part owner of the Bobcats in 2006, taking the final say on all basketball decisions away from then-coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff. He hired former Bulls teammate Rod Higgins as general manager in 2007 and then promoted him to president of basketball operations when Rick Cho was hired as GM in June. Jordan在06年买下山猫部分的股份，并且从教练兼总管Bernie Bickerstaff手中取得篮球 事务的最终决定权。他在07年雇用前公牛队友Rod Higgins当总管并在今年六月将他升任 为篮球事务营运总裁然後签下Rick Cho担任总管。 But basketball decisions still ultimately fall on the desk of Jordan, who has struggled as a talent evaluator in the draft. As president of the Washington Wizards, Jordan took Kwame Brown with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2001 draft. He amounted to little more than a role player in the NBA. 不过篮球事务的决定仍然会由Jordan处理，而他在选秀球员天分评估上的表现不好。01年 身任巫师总裁的Jordan选了Kwame Brown当状元。而Brown在NBA的价值只是略高於一般角 色球员。 When Jordan told him the Bobcats were eyeing Gonzaga star Adam Morrison with the third overall pick of the 2006 draft, Barkley said he questioned his friend on the decision. 当Jordan告诉Barkley山猫打算将06年的探花签用在Gonzaga大学球星Adam Morrison身上 时，Barkley问了好友一个问题。 "I said 'Michael, I think you should take Brandon Roy, and he said 'We like Adam Morrison,' " Barkley said. "I said 'Adam Morrison can't play. I said let me ask you a question, did you say Adam Morrison first and [the Bobcats front office staff] agreed with you or did they say Adam Morrison first? He said 'What do you mean?' I said 'Michael, nobody wants to disagree with you. You are such a powerful personality nobody, especially your flunkies as I call them, the flunkies are never going to disagree with you.' Adam Morrison is a nice kid. He can't play in the NBA." 「我说：『Michael，你应该选Brandon Roy。』而他说：『我们喜欢Adam Morrison』」 Barkley回忆道：「我说：『Adam Morrison不行。让我先问个问题吧，是你先提到(喜欢 ) Adam Morrison然後你的制服组同意你，还是你的制服组先提到(喜欢) Morrison呢？』」 「他问：『什麽意思？』我说：『Michael，没有人想要反对你。你的个性这麽强，没有 人，特别是我称为马屁精的这些人，他们永远不会反对你。』Adam Morrison是个很棒的 孩子。(只是)他没办法在NBA打球。」 Morrison started just 28 NBA games and is now playing overseas. Morrison只在NBA先发了28场比赛，现在他在海外打球。 -- 将心比心，便是佛心。 --
