The topic: Is Kawhi Leonard a superstar in today’s NBA, on a Spurs team known to loathe individualism. 大概一个礼拜前，Shaq把这个讨论提升到了新的层级。 谈论的主题是：Kawhi Leonard在现今的NBA已经是一个超级球星了吗？要知道马刺是 一支不喜欢个人主义的球队。 At halftime of the Spurs’ contest with the New Orleans Pelicans, O’Neal, one of the best centers in NBA history, now an analyst for TNT, finally put any doubt about Leonard’s status to rest. “America recognize this young player right here as a superstar,” said O’ Neal. “Not a star, a superstar right up there with LeBron (James) and Steph Curry and all those guys. I love this guy’s game. He doesn’t celebrate. He plays the right way. And listen, he made the San Antonio Big Three take a [back seat]. We need to start recognizing this young man as a superstar.” Shaq O'neal，身为史上最优秀的中锋之一，现在他担任了TNT的讲评。在马刺对上鹈鹕 的中场休息时，驳斥了这些对Leonard的质疑。 "现在全美该把这名年轻球员看作超级球星了"， O'neal说，"不是普通球星，他现在已 经跟Lebron、Curry、和其他同级的球员一样都是超级球星了。 我很喜欢看他打球。他 从不庆祝、他用正确的方式在打球，而且更重要的是，他让马刺的三巨头不再需要主导 比赛了。我们开始要有这个认知，这个年轻人已经是联盟的超级巨星。" Leonard would finish that game with 30 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals. A few nights later he had a 25-point, 13-rebound, six assist performance against the Sacramento Kings. And most recently he had 29 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks against the Chicago Bulls. The most important thing about Leonard’s stats in those games: the Spurs won. This is Leonard’s mindset: winning basketball games and more championships. The Spurs accomplishing those feats is the the only way he’ll agree when you ask him about being a superstar. Leonard在那场比赛最後拿下了30分、11篮板、3次助攻和2次抄截。几天前他在对上国王 的比赛里面也缴出了25分、13篮板、6次助攻的好成绩。上一场对上公牛的比赛，他得到 了29分、7篮板、2助攻、2抄截、2阻攻的数据。更重要的是：马刺那些场次都赢了。 这是Leonard的动力：赢下球赛和更多的总冠军。当你问他要如何成为一个超级球星，他 只会告诉你，让马刺赢下更多的胜利。 Told of O’Neal’s comments, which is the way many around the NBA feel, Leonard was humbled, but not sold. “This is not where I want to be,” he told the Express-News. “I’m striving for team goals. Once that time comes, I’ll be happy, but I’m not just focused on myself becoming a superstar. I want to make us the best team – a super team.” 在被告知O'neal对他的评价之後，Leonard显得谦虚而不虚伪。 "明星地位并不是我想要的。我只是努力想达到球队的目标，一旦目标达成我想我会很开 心，但我并不专注於让自己成为超级球星。我想要的是让我们变成最强的队伍 - 一支超 级强队" It’s not enough the Leonard has received accolades and praise of the last three seasons. He knows there is more to be done, and not through stats. Leonard does lead the Spurs in scoring (20.9 points) and following the win over the Bulls on Friday night, he’s averaging 24.8 points on 50 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals in March. “I just feel like the league is so based on scoring points,” said Leonard. “I could have done this last year, too, but you start averaging 20 points, everybody gets a big rise. But if you see how people affect the game (on both ends of the court) that’s what makes them an elite player.” But even if Leonard, 24, isn’t playing attention to the superstar talk, others notice. Asked about Leonard’s status, former NBA coach and current NBA on TNT analyst Mike Fratello said: “He certainly is one of the premier players in our league. I don’t know if it matters if he has the label of superstar or not. As long as he keeps doing what he’s doing, and you have a team that could win 70 games that he’s playing on. I think he’s meeting a lot of the criteria.” 过去三季的好表现和成就不能让Leonard感到满足，他知道他还有很多要改进的地方，有 些东西是数据看不到的。 Leonard得分是马刺队上最多的20.9分，同时在打赢公牛的那场球赛之後，他在这个三月 目前的数据来到了24.8分(50%命中率)、8.0篮板、3.3助攻和1.3抄截。 "我感觉这个联盟太在意得分了"，Leonard说，" 我去年也可以作得到。但当你开始平均 每场拿到20分，大家都会关注你了。但如果你知道这些球员在攻守两端做了多少事之後， 这才是他们会成为顶尖球星的原因。" 但即使Leonard本人并不在意这些话题，但其他人会。在谈论到现在Leonard的地位时， 前NBA总教练、现在在TNT当讲评的Mike Fratello说："他毫无疑问地是联盟最顶尖的那 几位球员之一。虽然我不知道这明星光环对他来说重不重要，但他如果能维持他现在的 表现，那他们那支队伍很有可能可以拿到70胜。我猜他已经听到不少人这麽说了。" Leonard’s new teammate, Andre Miller, has certainly seen his fair share of superstars throughout his 16 years in the NBA. Leonard, in Miller’s eyes, is another. “He’s a superstar,” said Miller. “He’s been to the finals a couple of times. Finals MVP. All-Star game. He’s improved every year. I mean’s he a guy that, from my couple days here, I see he has some worth ethic. And he guards his position. I think a lot of players respect players that can not only put the ball in the basket, but they can guard the best player on the other team night in and night out. And it looks like he doesn’t complain about it. He takes on the challenge. There are only a few guys in the league that do that.” Added Miller: “He definitely has the tools to be a superstar for 15 more years.” Leonard的新队友，Andrew Miller，过去在NBA也打滚了超过16年，看过了不少超级球星 。但在他眼中，Leonard有所不同。 " 他是个超级球星"，Miller说，"他打过了几次的总冠军赛，拿到过FMVP、参加全明星 赛，而且每年都还在进步当中。在这边的这几天，我看见他有一些很不错的特质。而且 他把对位的人守得很好。大部分的球员都会尊敬那些可以得分又能防守对方王牌的人。 而且他对此(防守对方王牌)毫无怨言，他总是接下挑战，在联盟里只有一小部份的人能 做到这样。" Miller还补充了："他有能力成为超过15年的超级球星。" Former NBA player and current ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose has followed Leonard ’s progress closer than most, as both were coached in college by Steve Fisher. When told Leonard’s attitude regarding superstardom was more collective than individual, Rose wasn’t surprised. “Maturity,” said Rose. “That’s how he’s always has been. … In team sport, that goes hand in hand. What has changed is the marketing and promotion of the individual. The star player becomes the headline like in OKC, but the story is still the team like in San Antonio.” Asked if Leonard is a top three player right now, Rose said: “The best three players in the league are Steph, LeBron, flip a coin for KD (Kevin Durant) and Kawhi. I still have to take KD (at number three), Kawhi is fourth. But Kawhi is coming. He’s there.” 前NBA球星，现任ESPN的讲评 Jalen Rose可能比大多数人对於Leonard的进步更清楚， 因为他们大学时都是在Steve Fisher底下打球。当他知道到Leonard对於明星光环的心 态是团队大於个人时，感到一点也不意外。 "成熟的心"，Rose说，"这让他能做到这些。在团队运动里，彼此之间要互相扶持。但 在市场和行销方面，强调的是个人。在像OKC的那些地方，球星会是报纸的头条；但在 圣安东尼奥，讲的会是这支球队。" 在被问到Leonard现在是不是联盟前三的球员时，Rose说： "现在联盟最强的三名球员 是 Curry、LBJ、KD和Kawhi一人一半。第三名我会想选KD，然後Kawhi第四。但他已经 跟他们是同一个级别的了。" With his head covered in a gray Jordan Brand hoodie, Leonard looked down while discussing his status as a superstar. He had just come off his fifth straight game of 20-plus points after the Spurs beat the Kings. Leonard fought the superstar label the entire discussion. But if Leonard isn’t a superstar right now, then what is he? “It’s just one season,” said Leonard. “I got to kept going to become a superstar. Trying to get there. Just taking stepping stones, waiting my time. ” While he waits, Leonard is in the process of helping create that super Spurs team. Once that goal is achieved, superstardom will follow. 穿着有他头像的Jordan牌帽T，Leonard在谈论他成为超级巨星这件事时，显得不是很重视 。之前在击败国王之後他已经是连续五场超过20分了。 但如果Leonard现在不是超级巨星，那会如何？ "这只是一个球季"，Leonard说，"我会继续让自己成长为一个超级球星。持续努力、踩 过路途上的垫脚石、并等待时机的到来。" 在他等待的时候，Leonard正在帮助马刺变成一支超级强队。如果成真，明星光环也会随 之降临。 原文网址：http://goo.gl/jNyDKa --
