Stan Van Gundy on Retiring No. 23: '(Jordan) Is Not Jackie Robinson' ORLANDO -- LeBron James can stop wearing his No. 23 if he wants -- in deference to Michael Jordan -- but asking the rest of the league to follow his lead is only showing his immaturity. 詹姆斯本人固然可以自己脱下23号球衣，但他不能要求联盟所有人都这样做。 这样的要求，只显示自己的不成熟。 Magic coach Stan Van Gundy was asked Friday morning about James' request, and he didn't hesitate to say he thinks the idea is misplaced. 大范接受访问时直接说，这种想法完全错误。 "It's a nice gesture, but he (Jordan) is not Jackie Robinson. Baseball did it because it had historical significance,'' Van Gundy said. "There actually were guys before Michael who could play the game. Then you should retire numbers that (Bill) Russell, Wilt (Chamberlain), and certainly Oscar (Robertson) wore. I understand LeBron didn't grow up watching those guys, but still. '' "这种想法虽然好，但是乔丹不是Jackie Robinson。MLB这样做，是因为这有历史意义。 如果你真要退休23号，那你连比尔罗素、张伯伦、奥斯卡罗宾森都要退。我知道因为詹姆 斯长大的过程中没有看到这些人，但还是一样。" Van Gundy was speaking after his team practiced Friday morning, preparing for the New Jersey Nets. He also rolled his eyes when asked about the Miami Heat retiring Jordan's No. 23 in the spring of 2003 as a show of respect. He was there as an assistant under coach Pat Riley at the time. He obviously didn't like that idea, either. 2003年乔丹的23号在迈阿密主场被退休，当时的热火助理教练大范就已经对此表示不满。 "I wasn't in the banner department,'' he said. "I'm just not one of those guys who thinks unquestionably that he (Jordan) was the best player of all time. I don't buy that. We've had a lot of great players at a lot of positions, so what are you going to do? Retire all the numbers, and pretty soon our guys will be wearing No. 327 because all the two-digit numbers are gone.'' "这又不是旗帜大展，我们还有很多很好的球员，你叫他们以後怎麽办?两位数的号码不久 就会全部用完，你要他们穿327号罗?" James made his request after his Cavs beat the Heat in Miami Thursday night with Jordan in the stands sitting alongside Pat Riley, Heat president. "Michael was a great player, and if the NBA wants to decide that every other team in the league has to worship him, then that's up to them,'' Van Gundy said. "Would I be for that? No.'' 大范最後说，如果大家最後都想一同向乔丹"致敬"，那随便他们。 但是他自己不吃这套。 http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/11/13/lebrons-desire-for-nba-to-retire-jordans-no -23-is-misplaced/?ncid=txtlnkusspor00000002 --
