What an NBA weekend. KD is crazy. Will they lose a game?" KD决定到勇士的消息让我感到震撼 一个朋友传讯给我说到:好个NBA周末 KD疯了吗 明年他们应该可以拿82胜了吧? I wrote back: "It's a bad look for the league once again. Between the huge signings of mediocre players and now KD defecting to the Warriors, there are really only five or six teams you are interested in watching—and only three of those have a real shot to win the championship. It's going to be a boring season unless the Warriors, Cavs, Spurs, Knicks, Celtics are on TNT or ESPN every week." 我回传:这又一次伤害了联盟 一堆普通球员拿了高薪 现在KD转到了勇士 现在球迷只会对5-6支球队感兴趣了 其中又只有三支有机会拿冠军 除非勇士 骑士 马刺 尼克 青赛能够每个礼拜出现在TNT或ESPN的转播 否则下个球季无聊透了 He wrote back: "The rich get richer. If you're KD, would you go for the ring?" 他回传:富者愈富很正常啊 如果你是KD 你不想追求冠军戒吗? And then I wrote back: "At the end of the day, what's more important, rings or legacy? The media only cares about rings, and rightfully so. We are judged on jewelry, so that's why I can't argue with it. From a personal standpoint, I'm upset that a small market will never recover from it. I like having stars/superstars in small markets. It evens the playing field and helps the overall product. It's why having Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay is great. In today's age of social media, you don't need to be in L.A., New York City or Chicago to get all the endorsements. Case in point: LeBron James and KD. Both have been the faces of the league in small markets." 我回传:职业生涯终结时 冠军戒和生涯评价 何者更为重要? 媒体现在只关心戒指 有没有戒指成了唯一衡量的指标 我无法反驳 但从个人角度来看 我对於一个小市场球队将因KD的转队而无法从伤害中回复感到难受 我喜欢小市场球队有着自己的球星或超级巨星 这对於联盟整体的发展有帮助 这也是为何Aaron Rodgers能在绿湾是一件好事 现在社群媒体如此发达 即使不在LA 纽约或芝加哥也能获得球员的认同与支持 LBJ和KD现在不就是身处於小市场球队的联盟超级巨星吗? That's the conversation that really got me thinking. 这段对话真的让我开始思考 Look, I understand this isn't about money, because people like LeBron, Durant, Russell Westbrook and the retired Kobe Bryant make more money through their shoe contracts than they do on the court. So yes, we know this decision isn't about money. 我知道这无关金钱 像LBJ KD RW或老大 光卖鞋赚的就比他们在场上赚的多 我们都知道这个决定无关金钱 To me, it's about your legacy versus rings. 对我来说 这是生涯评价与冠军戒指的问题 Durant would have been a god if he stayed in Oklahoma City. People always say to me, "I'm so glad you stayed with us"—that I stayed for 18 years with a small-market team in Indiana. KD如果继续留在Oklahoma将拥有神一般的地位 人们常告诉我:我很高兴你一直与我们同在-职业生涯18年始终留在印第安纳 But the media, of which I am a part, always says, "Well, he never won a championship." And I get that; I understand that. Not winning a championship burns me to this day. 但是媒体只会如此评价包括我在内的球星:嗯 他从来没获得冠军 我能了解这种观点 没得冠至今依旧让我感到痛楚 After reaching six Eastern Conference Finals and an NBA Finals only to finish without a title, I sympathize with Durant's dilemma. A rebound, loose ball, free throw, missed assignment, missed box-out can change everything. Being so close and ultimately losing sucks. 六次东区冠军赛以及一次总冠军赛 但最後与冠军无缘 我对於KD的困境感到同情 也许只差一个篮板 一个罚球 一次犯规 一个卡位没卡好 事情就都不一样了 如此接近冠军却得不到 这感觉烂透了 Nevertheless, it was the fight to put Indiana on the map that, in my mind, is my greatest accomplishment. 然而 也是这样的拼斗让印第安那站上了舞台 在我心中这是我所完成的最棒成就 I lost to Michael Jordan. I battled Patrick Ewing and his Knicks. I lost to Larry Bird and his Celtics. I lost to Isiah Thomas and his "Bad Boys" Pistons. I lost to Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway's Magic. You want to go against those guys, against the absolute best, even if you don't win. 我输给了MJ 我跟Ewing和尼克队血战 我输给了大鸟和青赛 我输给了Isiah Thomas和坏孩子们 我输给了大鲨鱼和一分钱的魔术 但我还是想要跟这些家伙们对抗 跟这些最棒的家伙 即使我输了 That's what Durant gave up by leaving the Thunder. And that matters. Had he stayed in Oklahoma City, people would have said, "He spurned all the other offers and continued to fight the giant." 这正是为何KD要离开雷霆的原因 而这很重要 如果他续留Oklahoma 人们会说:他拒绝了所有的合约 继续留下奋战! Even if Durant didn't win a championship like me, John Stockton or players who briefly spent time elsewhere like Ewing, Karl Malone and Hakeem Olajuwon, the rest of the world would have looked at him in a different light because he fought, rather than joined, the giants—LeBron, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Chris Paul, etc. And to me, that's a true legacy. 即使KD像我 老史或其他曾短暂待在别队的球星如大猩猩 马龙或大梦一样没有拿到冠军 但人们一样会因为他的奋战而给予高评价 而不是加入LBJ 咖哩 追梦绿或CP3这些巨星们 对我而言这才是一个球星真正的价值 It would obviously be great to have both—your kingdom and an untarnished legacy. But there are only so many people who enjoy that luxury. 能同时拥有冠军及好的生涯评价当然是最棒的 但只有少数人能享受这样的奢华 Jordan had both, because he already won six rings before going to Washington. Magic Johnson. Larry Bird. Kobe Bryant. You can even put Olajuwon in there, since he won two championships before going to Toronto. MJ有 在他去巫师前已经有六座冠军 魔术强生 大鸟 老大也都有 你也可以将大梦加入此名单 在他被交易去多伦多前已经拿了两座冠军 But I can't loop LeBron into that company. He left his kingdom in Cleveland for Miami, which was Dwyane Wade's kingdom. 但我无法将LBJ放入此名单 他离开了他在克里夫兰的王国到了迈阿密 那是WADE的王国 Yes, LeBron did win two titles with the Heat. So I get why Durant, like James, decided to go elsewhere. And I'm not here to say he cannot redeem himself, or that everyone will look back on his decision to leave and focus on that alone. 当然 LBJ在热火也拿了两冠 我猜这也是KD要转队的原因 我并不是要说他以後无法由黑转白了 或是所有人只会将焦点放在他转队这个点上面 Winning solves everything. Let's say the Warriors go out and win the next three NBA championships. Will people really look back and only think about Durant defecting from OKC? Probably not. 因为只要赢得冠军就解决一切了 假设勇士队未来拿下三连霸 人们还会一直讨论KD转队吗 恐怕不会了 And here's the other thing: Owners turn their backs on players all the time. So as a player, you have to do what's right in your heart. I get that 100 percent. 另外 老板们也常对球员无情无义 所以身为一个球员 对自己真正想做的事 我百分百支持 Still, there's a difference when you are "the man" and everything about a team is built around you. It's even more different for Durant. He had the best of both worlds: the reins of a franchise and another top-10, maybe top-five player in Westbrook. 然而 当你是球队的老大 整个球队绕着你运转时 事情就有点不同了 对KD来说 他拥有对球队的控制权 还有一个也许是联盟前五的队友-西河 When LeBron left Cleveland, the Cavaliers had Mo Williams, Anderson Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Daniel Gibson, among others. His running mates were not of Westbrook's caliber—or even on the same level as Steven Adams. 当LBJ离开骑士时 骑士队只有Mo Williams, Anderson Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Daniel Gibson 这些人 他的队友没有一个有到西河的等级 甚至连Steven Adams的等级都不到 Comparatively, it isn't like Durant spurned a team that needed to be redone. The Thunder finished with the league's fifth-best record in the regular season and were up 3-1 on the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. They would have been right there again next season. 另外 雷霆队并不是一只需要重建的队伍 今年他们的战绩是联盟第五佳 还差点淘汰了勇士队 没意外的话明年他们依然是联盟的强队 That's why I can't help but wonder if he had a conversation with Westbrook. I'm speculating, but maybe he found out Westbrook planned to leave in free agency next summer if the duo couldn't win a title after what would be nine years together. Though Durant could've still signed a one-plus-one deal that would've put him in free agency with Westbrook, their conversation would at least shed some more light on why he left. 因此我忍不住怀疑KD到底有没有跟西河谈论过此事 也许KD发现在经过九年的合作却无法得冠後 西河明年夏天也许会离队 虽然KD也可能签一个1+1的合约 届时他将与西河一起成为自由球员 但无论如何 如果他们有谈话 至少事情可能不一样 Maybe this has nothing to do with Westbrook potentially leaving—or even any existing rivalry or conflict between the two. Perhaps Durant's desire to win rings is just that strong, or maybe he took this past postseason as a sign. 也许这跟西河要离队 或是外传的两人有心结一点关系也没有 也许KD对冠军的渴望就是如此强烈 或是他认为这次的季後赛对他而言有某种意义 I am only here talking about Durant joining the Warriors thanks to a perfect storm of circumstances: a salary-cap spike, Oklahoma City's collapse in the Western Conference Finals against Golden State and the Warriors' NBA Finals collapse versus the Cavaliers. Durant isn't a Warrior without all of those things happening. 溢价签约 雷霆在西冠中输给勇士 勇士又在总冠军战中输给骑士 如果这些事情没有发生 也许KD根本不会加入勇士 And while I get all of this, stars in small markets have a greater obligation to their fans. 当我了解这些事後 我觉得小市场球队的球星应该对他们的球迷有更多的责任 People always ask, "What made you stay in Indiana for all those years?" This is the best way I can answer that question: Your checkout teller at the grocery store, the attendant at the gas station, the ushers, the waiters, the waitresses—all these fans laughed and cheered with me, and they cried with me after the losses to Shaq, MJ and the Knicks. We were in it together. 人们常问我 什麽原因让你在印第安纳待这麽多年? 我的回答是 商店中的柜台结帐人员 加油站员工 接待员 服务生 所有的球迷们总是给我鼓励与微笑 当我们输给湖人 MJ和尼克时 他们与我们一起哭泣 我们是一体的 I could not look at those fans had I gone somewhere else. I could not win a championship in Miami like LeBron, popping bubbly and all that, knowing there's a group in Indiana that stayed with me when I wasn't able to win a title. I couldn't turn my back on that fanbase and say, "Yay, I got a ring!" 如果我去了别的球队 我甚至无法再与这些球迷们互动 只要想到在印第安纳有一群球迷一职支持着我 我就无法跟LBJ一样到迈阿密拿了冠军 我无法无视这些球迷们然後说 嘿 我得冠了 That's why I believe Durant took an unnecessary shortcut by joining the Warriors. Fans in smaller markets, like Oklahoma City, live and die with their teams. Going to playoff games and driving through the neighborhood, almost every house has signs and banners from kids. 正因此我才相信KD加入勇士是走了一条非必要的捷径 小市场球队的球迷 如Oklahoma 是与球队一体的 当季後赛开打时 如果到附近晃晃 几乎家家户户都悬挂着来自孩子们的加油标语 It gives me chills thinking about those experiences in Indiana. And that's not to say Durant won't encounter this with Golden State. He might. But he's in someone else's kingdom now. 每当想到在印第安纳的美好经验就让我感到开心 这并不是说KD到了勇士不会得到如此热烈的支持 他会的 只是这里是别人的王国 Don't get me wrong, Durant will be the alpha dog. On the court, the pecking order will be Durant, Curry, Green, then Klay Thompson. But Durant will forever play in Curry's kingdom. He was with them first. He won a title for them first. 无疑KD在勇士会是领袖 球场上的主角会是KD 咖哩 追梦绿和K汤 只是KD永远是在咖哩的王国打球 他会先为他们赢得冠军 If Durant would have won in Oklahoma City, it would just be better. It would have been better if he joined any team that wasn't a ready-made contender. But in Oklahoma City, winning one title would be like getting three or more in Golden State. Failing to win one with the Thunder would arguably be more admirable than collecting any number of titles with the Warriors. 如果KD为雷霆赢得冠军 是不是好多了 如果他加入的不是一只已经建构好的强队就更好了 在雷霆夺得一冠的意义还是高於在勇士拿三冠甚至更多 即使在雷霆无法夺冠 还是比起在勇士收集冠军还得令人敬佩多了 This is just my opinion. Others will feel differently. People will read this and say, "This is coming from a guy who never won a championship." That's fine with me. And again, I get Durant's decision. I understand that temptation. 这只是我的个人想法 想法不同的人看完这篇文章会说 这只是一个没有冠军球员的废话 没关系 重申一次 我了解KD的决定 我了解那种对於夺冠的诱惑 The Celtics wanted me to come out of retirement in 2007-08, when they won a title with Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. I couldn't do it. There was an opportunity to join the Lakers at one point. I couldn't do that, either. And maybe I should have. 青赛曾经在07-08球季邀请我复出 那个球季他们有Ray和狼王并夺得冠军 但我拒绝了 也曾有机会加入湖人 但我也拒绝了 也许我应该这麽做才是 But to me, a king should never leave his kingdom. 但对我来说 身为王者就该留在自己的王国里 --
