LINCICOME：Anthony can learn from Bryant's journey Melo可以從Kobe的歷程學習 From where Kobe Bryant was to where he is now must be an object lesson to Carmelo Anthony. None of Anthony's mishaps with the law or with society, nor any of Allen Iverson's come to that, can compare to Bryant, now the Most Valuable Player in basketball. 從Kobe之前的處境到Melo今日的處境來看，對Melo是個很好的一課。 無論是Anthony在法律和社會上的問題事件，或是Iverson牽連進的事情， 都無法與當今最有價值球員Kobe來相比。 From accused rapist and selfish pinhead to model citizen and all-around team inspiration, that is Bryant. And that could be Anthony, needing only to step over hurdles that Bryant needed to leap. 從被控訴強暴犯、自私的笨蛋到模範市民及鼓舞全隊士氣的人，這是Kobe。 而這些Kobe過去越過的障礙，也是Anthony需要去解決的。 To be in the Age of Kobe, as this is and shall remain for another five years or so, as it once was with Michael Jordan, the rest of basketball will simply have to pay respect to the man and wait its turn. 在這個屬於Kobe的時代，而應該還會再維持五年之久，就如同Jordan當時一般， 其他球員也只能對此人表達敬意，同時等待輪到自己的時代出現。 Anthony has time, as does LeBron James, who is odds-on to get to Kobeland before Anthony does. And the other current emerging figures of the game - Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, along with the inevitable James - will parallel Anthony in his chase to glory. Anthony有時間，LeBron James也是，而James頗有勝算在Anthony之前達到Kobe境界。 另有一些在比賽中積極浮現的人物，例如Chris Paul, Dwight Howard，和James一樣， 正一同和Anthony追求著榮耀。 Such things seem important to Anthony, recognition and individual prizes, as they once did to Bryant, as they did at the expense of his own team, as they do now with Anthony for the same reason. 受到表揚和個人獎項等事，看來對Anthony都很重要。這些是曾經對Kobe而言也很重要， 也因此讓球隊付出代價和損失，就如同這些事（指表揚和獎項）正以同樣的理由影響 Anthony。 Until Bryant decided to be the leader instead of the focus (and who does not believe he can score 81 points anytime he wants to?) he would remain feared but never admired, marveled at but never revered. 當Kobe決定成為領導者而非僅是眾人焦點時（誰不信只要他想，就能再得到81分時？） 僅是焦點時，他仍會令人害怕而非令人欽佩，仍會令人驚豔但不會令人尊敬。 Anthony produces that same grudging regard, so clearly talented, and yet always lessened by some sort of failure or petulance or whine. Melo製造同樣的「勉強的尊重」，具有顯著的天分，然而常因一些失敗、暴躁或牢騷 而受到教訓。 But how obvious is the formula and how similar the ingredients, with Bryant and Anthony both teenage prizes, suffering early letdowns, the talent obvious, too many public missteps, though, by the same time, Bryant had two titles to Anthony's none. 但是有明顯的程式和同樣的成分，Kobe和Melo都是青少年得獎者，承受早期的低潮， 天分很明顯，但太多公開場合的錯誤，雖然，同時間而言，Kobe已有兩座總冠軍， Melo還沒有。 （待續） ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 這篇還頗長的，先翻到這裡（大概還有一半） 如果大家還有興趣的話，我晚點在接下去翻。 --
