『贰』 科比与世界为敌的那句话英文原句或视频地址
科比说过的经典的话 即使世界抛弃了我,可是还有篮球陪伴这我.
我不想和别人一样,即便这个别人:是乔丹
乔丹“科比是飞人第二”
科比“飞人永远只有一个”
我们有着一颗冠军的心
科比:谁也不是乔丹,我只做我自己.
无论谁防守我,我坚信你会在我崩溃之前崩溃
杰克逊:如果你实在憋不住,告诉我,我就把你换上去。
他没有得到科比言语的答案,得到的是一个挥手摇头手势。“我没必要追求70分,我只想赢,”科比说,“当你已把胜利扔进冰箱时,没必要再冒险。”
不能上场比赛,在家里看电视真是让我太难受了,”科比说,“我一边看一边坐立不安,我根本不可能坐着看球队比赛。”
科比:替我谢谢中国球迷,我在证明自己是最好的球员
爱我或者恨我由你选择,这就是生活。有人讨厌我的比赛,恨我的嚣张,恨我的后仰跳投,恨我对比赛的痴狂,恨我有总冠军戒指……但也有很多人支持我爱我,理由却和恨我的人一样。
记者:在没有shaq的情况下 湖人可不可以获得总冠军 ?
科比:我不知道 这将是集体的努力 看看我们能不能得到有帮助的球员 看看我们可不可以改进 但我会尽我最大的努力!
Scoop Jackson(美国知名NBA记者和专栏作家)对科比说:10年,10年之后,这个世界会了解你的伟大
科比:即使是耶酥,也会有人对他怀恨在心,我不需要解释什么.
“你必须要挺过这些,那是一段可怕的时间,但是它让我们的关系更亲密,它也让我变得更坚强。每个人都会遇到他们生活中的十字路口,每个人都要做出选择。”“如果你看看别人的一些经历———失去孩子、亲人过世等,那么我所遇到的这些波折根本就是小儿科。我仍然有自己的家庭,我的家人都非常健康,我们的关系也非常好。因此我就更有信心去熬过那段岁月,我相信阳光终会出现。”
『叁』 求韦德,科比,乔丹的名言 英文版
韦德:If you're absent from my struggle,then ,don't be present for my success。如果你没经历过我的失败,那么,不要分享我的成功
科比:I don't wanna be Michael Jordan,I just wanna be myself.我从未想过成为乔丹,我只想做我自己(科比的名言多了去了,随便写一条)
乔丹:.I can accept defeat but could not accept to give up我可以接受失败,但我不能接受放弃
『肆』 乔丹在科比追思会上的演讲全文
“我很感激布莱恩特家族今天给我发言的机会,我很感激自己能在这里缅怀科比和Gigi。科比有很多身份,球员,商人,故事的诉说者,还有父亲。无论是在篮球比赛中,还是在生活中为人父母,科比都倾其所有,作为一名父亲,他把所有责任都承担在自己身上,一步一步向前进。也许让大家感到惊讶的是我和科比是好朋友,我和科比是真正的好朋友,科比和我无比亲近就像是我的弟弟一样。大家总是去拿我们俩作比较,我只想谈谈科比本身。”
“你知道,我们都有哥哥姐姐弟弟妹妹,无论如何,他们都会给你依靠,给你衣服,给你鞋子,给你所有的一切,这种情感纽带无法用语言来形容,但维系这种纽带的东西就是爱,是他们作为大哥哥大姐姐对你的爱。但问题是,他想要知道我生活中的每一个细节。他总是问我或是给我发短信,从11:30一直到凌晨2:30,问我关于假动作、训练的问题,而有的时候是关于三角进攻。在一开始,这是一种负担,但是到后来这转变为一种激情。这个孩子有着你从未见识过的激情。”
“那样的激情太令人难以置信,如果你爱某样东西,你对某件事情充满激情,你就会变得极端,然后去试图达到目标,清楚自己为此到底要付出什么。冰淇淋,可乐,汉堡包,所有这些你喜欢的东西,你需要自己去争取,也许你要向别人祈求才能得到。科比-布莱恩特对我的启发,就是他是一个真正关心我吃了什么、我以什么方式比赛的人,然后他也想做到这些,他想要成为世界上最好的运动员,而我想要成为最好的兄长。为了做到这一点,你需要背负很多东西,比如那些深夜打来的电话。我们总是说,他想要成为最好的球员,他想要成为最好的商人,他想要成为最好的家长,我们谈论了他的所有事情,而他想要做的只是想要成为一个更优秀的人。”
“现在,我得找找看另一个像我这样哭泣的家伙。我告诉我的妻子我不打算这样做,因为我不想在未来的三四年看到这段视频。这就是科比对我做的好事。”
“我很确定,他的朋友们都能很确定地这么说,他知道影响你,但是你总是能感受到他对你的爱,他总会将自己最好的东西呈现给你。他就是这么对我的,我至今都记得,几个月前,他给我发了一条消息说:‘我正在尝试教女儿一些动作,然后我不知道她是怎么想的或者说她在为什么而做这些事情。当你在试图进步,努力去成长的时候你在想些什么,你是怎么调整心态的?’我说:‘女儿几岁了?’他说12岁了,我说我12岁的时候还在努力打棒球,然后他就给我发了一条无情嘲笑我的短信,那是凌晨两点发生的事情。”
“我们不但能谈论篮球方面的东西,我们还经常讨论生活中的事情。我们是真正的挚友,我们之间经常发生这样的对话。我记得在1999年还是2000年,当时菲尔-杰克逊执教着湖人,当我到湖人的球馆的时候,我看到科比坐在那儿,然后科比看到我说的第一句话是:‘你带你的球鞋来了吗?’我说不,我来这儿不是来打球的。但是他很有竞争的态度,他想要和那些他觉得能够让他进步的人对抗,那是我很欣赏的品质。他看待我的态度是将我看成一个挑战,而我因为他的激情而感到钦佩,他每天都在激励自己做得更好,这太罕见了。他不仅仅是在体育方面,还在为人父母,当为人丈夫方面所做的事,他和瓦妮莎分享的东西,他和他的孩子们分享的东西,让我深受启发。我有一对双胞胎孩子,我还有一个女儿,而她也有小孩了,这让我成为了外公。我迫不及待地想要回家,去当好一个女儿的父亲,去拥抱他们,享受他们带给我的爱和笑容,科比教会了我这些。这些事我们将继续从科比身上学到的东西。我们所有人都应该把握当下,享受每一天,好好陪伴自己所爱的人。”
『伍』 求乔丹对科比的评价,一定要英文原话的~~谢谢
乔丹对科比的评价是这一代最有价值的球员,而谈到科比认为历史上最伟大的球员时,科比是这样说的:张伯伦,科比,乔丹。 把乔丹排在自己后面显然是想超越乔丹。 希望能给分。

『柒』 求乔丹名人堂演讲稿 最好是英文完整版
尽管2009年名人堂已经星光熠熠,包含了大卫罗宾逊,约翰斯托克顿,杰里斯隆和C.Vivian Stringer,但是麦克乔丹的演讲时间还是比其他人都要长一些。
问:你最像谁?
应该是我父亲,要知道,我和他非常相似,而且这是我不能左右的,是的,毫无疑问。如果有人打算要像我,我想首先要先晒黑自己,再做个发型。我很高兴我就是我自己,无论你怎么看待
问:你最美好的篮球时光是什么时候?
这很难说,就好像问那个孩子是你最喜欢的。我有过很多次伟大的成就,无数激动的比赛和绝杀。我很难选择其中的一个。如果从1982年的北卡说起,那次对犹他投中的绝杀球,或者在梦之队打球的经历,打棒球,当然你们这些家伙可能不认为那是一次成功的经历。因为有太多所以很难选出一个。我很高兴有这么多可以选择的。
问:想对芝加哥的球迷说点什么?
这是我的第二故乡,我现在还住在这里,很多人可能以为我不住这了,但我确实还住在这里。Jonathan Kovler和Rod Thorn邀请我这个懵懂的小伙子来芝加哥,那是我第一次离开家乡。北卡到威明顿只有2.5小时车程,因此看上去并不远。他们把我带入行,我开始挣钱过活。他们信任我,我也信任他们。这个关系一直延续到现在。我将永远,永远的热爱芝加哥城,感谢那些支持我的球迷。除了我所做的,我没有更多可以回报球迷的。我也不打算再索取。我只是希望大家能够记住我给这座城市创造的贡献。毫无疑问,没有大家的支持我不可能站在这里。
问:你能谈谈死敌犹他爵士和联盟最脏(dirtiest)的球员约翰斯托克顿嘛?
我不认为斯托克顿是联盟最脏的球员。我可以数出很多。当然你可以说那是脏。我想说他是一个坚韧,实用型球员,他会用他的身体和智力与你对决。我们战胜了他们两次,我想说说我们的球队。因为他们是一个很伟大的球队。他们本不该很容易的打败我们两次。这两支球队的对决是经典的。那群小伙子们,斯托克顿,马龙,教练斯隆,代表了当时犹他的全部。他们是伟大的对手。我很享受和他们的比赛。他们帮助我打到了竞技的巅峰。让我数次享受了顶峰体验。
问:你的先父James现在会想些什么?
他可能可以站在这里回答你所有的问题。他很喜欢谈到我。我想他已经看到我长大成人。我曾是他 的学生,他教会我很多。如果他今天在这里,他应该纵情欢乐一下。我想他应该对我所做的一切感到自豪,对我做出的决定,好的还是坏的,感到自豪,和所有父亲一样:他会很高兴,并且对我职业生涯获得的成就感到满意。他的精神在这里,我能确信这一点。当你看到我,你就看到了他,你看我的母亲,我的兄弟和我的姐妹。我代表我整个家庭站在这里,我想他们和我一样对进入名人堂感到自豪,一个美好的周末。
问:你对被称作史上最伟大的球员如何评价?
人们说我是这项运动的历史上最优秀的球员,对此我感到诚惶诚恐,如果作为一个观点我可以接受。对我而言,我自己没有和杰里韦斯特打过比赛,也没有和埃尔金贝勒或者威尔特张伯伦打过比赛。是的,我当然希望能和他们交手。但我究竟是不是比他们出色这个问题不是我所能决定的。但是球迷这样提起已经让我感到莫大荣幸。但我自己真的不会那么去认为,因为我自己和大多数名人堂球员都没有一起比赛过。”
问:你对公牛的早期回忆是什么?
当我第一次到芝加哥,他们做得还不够好。我们能做的就是不断提高,我们已经无路可退。我来自一所争冠的着名大学篮球队。所以我希望尽我所能帮助球队获胜。获奖的难度一年比一年高。当时,对我们来说目标是进入季后赛。一旦我们进入季后赛,目标就变成了要过第一轮。然后目标变成了东部联盟的决赛。然后是进入总决赛。这是一条常常的路。我们换了球员,有了更好队员。不是说我刚到球队的队友那里不好。只是我觉得需要化学变化,并能在较长时间保持。管理层在人事变动方面很成功。我们经历了三个教练。科林斯提出建立一个独特的可以竞争总冠军的球队,然后菲尔来了并实现了它。我为这个城市骄傲。这是一个让人勤奋的工作环境,并碰巧在公牛队身上应验。一旦我们登上了顶峰,我们就不想放弃。我很高兴我是其中的一部分。我来的时候,只有6000人在看台上观看比赛。这些人中也大多出现在我职业生涯结束的告别演出中,大部分也亲临了这座体育场被出卖的那个夜晚。我希望他们都知道公牛来自哪里,今天的荣誉经历了怎样的拼杀。所以我今天有一点感动,我想大声的说。我和我的队友们最在乎的就是我们是胜利者。我记得和泰克斯温特的一次对话,温特一位伟大的教练。记得那是一场比赛接近尾声的时候,我拿到了20分即将赢得比赛的时候,温特提醒我,比赛已经不需要我了,我回头看了下温特,然后说:“如果我要赢得比赛,你想怎么做?”
问:你可以评价一下科比和詹姆斯嘛?
我看到一些他们相似的地方。这就是篮球的演变。当我出道后,人们总是那我和J博士相比较。我是Walter Davis的粉丝。显然,你们知道我与大卫汤普森的关系。你怎么能不看到自己和科比,詹姆斯的相似之处?他们会感到很有趣。但是,不要急于设法找出下一个迈克尔乔丹。看上去不会有下一个迈克尔乔丹。我是说,方式不同,时间不同,游戏规则,产生的球员也会不同。人们不断努力寻找下一个迈克尔乔丹。首先,你没有找到我。我刚好到来。而接下来你就知道,我在这里。所以你没有找我。而且你不会发现下一个。这不会发生。我敢肯定你们是要承认它。如果还没有准备好,你总会意识到,你们会认为这些小伙子们拥有比乔丹更好的潜力。他们将建立自己的历史,他们就是自己。只需给他们一些时间。
问:你能谈谈已经在名人堂的教练菲尔杰克逊嘛,他对你的职业生涯有什么影响?
我还没有谈到菲尔。他是一个难以捉摸的家伙。我不知道他是在蒙大拿州,南达科他还是北达科他州。我不知道他在哪里现在。在3月份宣布我会是名人堂的球员之一的时候,他已经准备好祝贺词了。而7个月过去了。你永远不知道从菲尔那里会有什么期望。他给我挑战。而且是在我需要挑战的时候给我挑战。他让我提高了对比赛的阅读能力,感知队友和并团结他们的能力。他有时让我处理和其他球员的关系,比如罗德曼,这让我感到很麻烦,但我能恢复过来。对我来说,这是一个很好的学习机会。他能进名人堂,这一点也不奇怪。他目前依然在湖人取得成功,我也不感到意外。因为我觉得他正在和那些小伙子们融合在一起。他们的篮球天赋已经在那里了。我想你们应该知道在菲尔到湖人以前,他有同样的队员。但这些队员在菲尔来了以后取得了令人瞩目的成功,应为菲尔能够把这些人组成一个集体。这是他的长处。当年也是这么教导我们的。我想他会一直干到退休,他对我的职业生涯产生了重大影响,他帮助我学会打球和做人。
问:你职业生涯早期和凯尔特人一役中砍下63分,这对你提高自信有帮助吗?
是的,当你把它提到了这个高度,已经有很多媒体朋友这么说了,“他是很棒,但是还达不到同龄球员例如魔术师约翰逊和大鸟伯德的造诣”。在那场比赛以后,我赢得了伯德的重视,对我来说,那会我已经走在了成为一个更好球员的正确道路上。虽然我获得了高分,但却输掉了那场比赛。但他给了我自信,那是一个我那种水平球员所需要的自信。那时,这可能是对我来说最大的鼓励。
乔丹和罗宾逊
K.C. Johnson
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Give Hall of Fame officials credit for this. Despite a stellar 2009 class that includes David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer, Michael Jordan’s question-and-answer session at Friday morning’s news conference lasted far longer than the others.
Here are the highlights:
Q: Who did Mike want to be like?
My father probably. As you can see, I have a strong resemblance of him. I could not avoid that, without a doubt. If everybody wants to be like Mike, I’m pretty sure that starts with a haircut and suntan. I’m just happy to be myself, no matter how you look at it.
Q: What’s your favorite basketball related moment?
That’s so hard. That’s like asking which one of your kids is your best kid. I’ve had so many great accomplishments, so many spectacular plays, big plays, game-winning shots. It’s hard for me to pick one. If I started with 1982 at UNC, I could end with the shot in Utah or playing on the Dream Team, playing baseball. Although you guys don’t consider that to be successful I do. There are so many that it would be too difficult to pick out one. I’m just happy with everything.
Q: What would you say to Chicago fans?
That’s my second home. I still live there. A lot of people don’t think I still live there, but I do. For what they have given me, starting with Jonathan Kovler and Rod Thorn, who actually drafted me and took this kid who had never been to a big city at all. It was my first time being away from home. UNC from Wilmington is only 2.5 hours so I wasn’t really away. But they took me in. And I had to earn my keep. They believed in me. I believed in them. That marriage lasted up until now. I will always, always have the deepest warmth for the city of Chicago and the support I’ve received from them. Other than what I’ve done, I can’t give back any more. And I wouldn’t ask for any more. I just want them to be able to remember the things I contributed to the city. And hopefully at some point down the road, they can have another championship just so they can compare the two. I wouldn’t be standing here without their support without a doubt.
Q: Can you talk about the rivalry with the Utah Jazz and was John Stockton the dirtiest player in the league?
I wouldn’t say Stockton was the dirtiest player in the league. I can name a few others. You can say dirty. I say he’s a tough, hard-nosed type of guy who played with every inch of his body physically and mentally. For us to beat them twice, I think says a lot about our team. Because they were a great, great team. They easily could’ve beat us twice. It was great competition between the two teams. Those guys—Stockton, Malone, Coach Sloan—represented what Utah was all about. They were great adversaries. I enjoyed competing against them. They raised my level of competition to the highest levels. The fortunate part is I ended up on top a couple of times.
Q: What would your late father James be thinking today?
He’d probably like to be standing here answering all your questions. He loved to speak for me. I think now he understands I’m a grown person. I’ve learned from him. He taught me well. If he was here today, I’m pretty sure he’d be living it up. And I think he’d be very proud of what I’ve done over my career and the choices that I’ve made, good and bad. It’s like any Father: He would probably have a face of elation and joy about things I’ve achieved in my career. He is here in spirit; I know that. When you see me, you see him, you see my Mother and my brothers and sisters. I represent my whole family. I’m sure they’re as proud as I am to be standing here in the Hall of Fame, enjoying this weekend.
Q: How do you react to being called The Greatest?
People say I was the greatest ever to play to the game. I cringe a little bit. I receive it as an opinion. But for me personally, I never played against Jerry West. I never played against Elgin Baylor. I never played against Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah, I would’ve loved to. But to say I’m better than those people is not for me to decide. I’m happy for the accomplishments and what people might say. But just to be a part of that debate is a privilege. But I would never give myself that type of accolade because I never competed against everybody in this Hall of Fame.
Q: What are your early memories of the Bulls?
When I first got to Chicago, they weren’t doing well. The only way we could go was up. We couldn’t go further down. I came from a prestigious university that was built on winning. So my attitude was to do whatever I could to help this team win. And the level of winning changed over the years. At that time winning for us was getting into the playoffs. And once we got into the playoffs, it was getting past the first round. And then it was getting to the Eastern Conference finals. And then getting to the Finals. That road happened over a period of time. We changed players, got better ones. Not to say the players when I first got there were bad. It’s just I felt we needed chemistry to change and it did over a period of years. Management did a good job of changing the personnel. We went through three coaches. Doug Collins made a big impact of trying to put together a unique team that could compete for a championship. And then Phil came in and finished it off. And I think the city has to be proud. It’s known as a hard-working environment and that happened with the Bulls. And once we got on top, we didn’t want to relinquish that. I’m glad I was a part of that. I came in when there were 6,000 people in the stands. And most of the people that were coming towards the end of my career were there when the building was selling out every single night. I didn’t want them to misunderstand where the Bulls came from and how hard the fight was to get there. So I was a little more animated and strong-voiced at the end. My teammates, if they can ever say anything about me, it was that we won. I remember having a conversation with Tex Winter, who was an unbelievable coach. I remember one game coming off the floor and I had scored like 20 points in a row to win the game. Tex reminded me there’s no “I” in team. I looked back and Tex and said, “There’s an “I” in win. So which way do you want it?”
Q: What do you think of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James?
I see some resemblance. That’s the evolution of basketball. When I was coming up, it was always comparisons to Dr. J. I was a big Walter Davis fan. Obviously you guys know my relationship with David Thompson. How can you not see a resemblance of yourself in Kobe Bryant and LeBron James? They’re going to be fun. But don’t be a rush to try to find the next Michael Jordan. There’s not going to be another Michael Jordan. I say that in a way that times are different, the games are different, the desire to have that type of player is different. People are constantly trying to find the next Michael Jordan. First of all, you didn’t find me. I just happened to come along. And the next thing you know, here I am. So you didn’t have to find me. And you won’t have to find that next person. It’s going to happen. And I’m pretty sure you guys are going to recognize it. If you haven’t already, in e time you’ll know. And I think those guys have strong potential to be better than Michael Jordan down the road. They’re going to create their own name, their own persona. So just give it time.
Q: Have you talked to Phil Jackson about being in the Hall together and what was his influence on your career?
I haven’t talked to Phil. You know he’s one of those elusive guys. I don’t know if he’s Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota. I don’t know where he is right now. Phil is one of those guys who when it was announced in March that I was going to be in the Hall of Fame, he already had a tape ready saying congratulations. And that was seven months ago. You never know what to expect from Phil. He challenged me. He challenged me at times I needed to be challenged. Mentally, he made me expand my outlook about the game, my perception of my teammates and what to expect from them. He put me in difficult positions in dealing with other players such as Dennis Rodman, but I was able to come around. That was a great learning experience for me. He’s very deserving to be in the Hall of Fame. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s still successful with the Lakers. Because I think his makeup is taking personalities and blending those personalities together. The basketball talent was already there. I think you guys realize that before Phil got to the Lakers, they had the same personnel. It’s amazing when he got there how successful that personnel became because he was able to blend those personalities together. That’s his strong point. He did it for us. I would imagine he’s going to continue doing it until he gets tired. He impacted my career. He helped me improve as a player and person.
Q: Did your 63-point game against the Celtics early in your career help your confidence moving forward?
Yep. When you look at it up to that point, there were so many media guys saying, ‘He’s good. But he’s not in the same class as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.’ After that game, I earned Larry Bird’s respect. To me, that says I was on the right track in terms of becoming a better player. Not the points that I scored because at the end of the day, we lost the game. But he gave me the type of confidence that I needed at that level from a player. That to me was the biggest compliment I had to that time.

(9)乔丹悼念科比的讲话英文版扩展阅读:
科比·布莱恩特(Kobe Bryant),1978年8月23日出生于美国宾夕法尼亚州费城,前美国职业篮球运动员,司职得分后卫/小前锋(锋卫摇摆人),绰号“黑曼巴”/“小飞侠”, 整个NBA生涯(1996年-2016年)全部效力于NBA洛杉矶湖人队,是前NBA球员乔·布莱恩特的儿子。
科比是NBA最好的得分手之一,生涯赢得无数奖项,突破、投篮、罚球、三分球他都驾轻就熟,几乎没有进攻盲区,单场比赛81分的个人纪录就有力地证明了这一点。除了疯狂的得分外,科比的组织能力也很出众,经常担任球队进攻的第一发起人。另外科比还是联盟中最好的防守人之一,贴身防守非常具有压迫性。

I came in when there were 6,000 people in the stands. And most of the people that were coming towards the end of my career were there when the building was selling out every single night. I didn’t want them to misunderstand where the Bulls came from and how hard the fight was to get there. So I was a little more animated and strong-voiced at the end. My teammates, if they can ever say anything about me, it was that we won. I remember having a conversation with Tex Winter, who was an unbelievable coach. I remember one game coming off the floor and I had scored like 20 points in a row to win the game. Tex reminded me there’s no “I” in team. I looked back and Tex and said, “There’s an “I” in win. So which way do you want it?”
Q: What do you think of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James?
I see some resemblance. That’s the evolution of basketball. When I was coming up, it was always comparisons to Dr. J. I was a big Walter Davis fan. Obviously you guys know my relationship with David Thompson. How can you not see a resemblance of yourself in Kobe Bryant and LeBron James? They’re going to be fun. But don’t be a rush to try to find the next Michael Jordan. There’s not going to be another Michael Jordan. I say that in a way that times are different, the games are different, the desire to have that type of player is different. People are constantly trying to find the next Michael Jordan. First of all, you didn’t find me. I just happened to come along. And the next thing you know, here I am. So you didn’t have to find me. And you won’t have to find that next person. It’s going to happen. And I’m pretty sure you guys are going to recognize it. If you haven’t already, in e time you’ll know. And I think those guys have strong potential to be better than Michael Jordan down the road. They’re going to create their own name, their own persona. So just give it time.
Q: Have you talked to Phil Jackson about being in the Hall together and what was his influence on your career?
I haven’t talked to Phil. You know he’s one of those elusive guys. I don’t know if he’s Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota. I don’t know where he is right now. Phil is one of those guys who when it was announced in March that I was going to be in the Hall of Fame, he already had a tape ready saying congratulations. And that was seven months ago. You never know what to expect from Phil. He challenged me. He challenged me at times I needed to be challenged. Mentally, he made me expand my outlook about the game, my perception of my teammates and what to expect from them. He put me in difficult positions in dealing with other players such as Dennis Rodman, but I was able to come around. That was a great learning experience for me. He’s very deserving to be in the Hall of Fame. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s still successful with the Lakers. Because I think his makeup is taking personalities and blending those personalities together. The basketball talent was already there. I think you guys realize that before Phil got to the Lakers, they had the same personnel. It’s amazing when he got there how successful that personnel became because he was able to blend those personalities together. That’s his strong point. He did it for us. I would imagine he’s going to continue doing it until he gets tired. He impacted my career. He helped me improve as a player and person.
Q: Did your 63-point game against the Celtics early in your career help your confidence moving forward?
Yep. When you look at it up to that point, there were so many media guys saying, ‘He’s good. But he’s not in the same class as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.’ After that game, I earned Larry Bird’s respect. To me, that says I was on the right track in terms of becoming a better player. Not the points that I scored because at the end of the day, we lost the game. But he gave me the type of confidence that I needed at that level from a player. That to me was the biggest compliment I had to that time.
尽管2009年名人堂已经星光熠熠,包含了大卫罗宾逊,约翰斯托克顿,杰里斯隆和C.Vivian Stringer,但是麦克乔丹的演讲时间还是比其他人都要长一些。
问:你最像谁?
应该是我父亲,要知道,我和他非常相似,而且这是我不能左右的,是的,毫无疑问。如果有人打算要像我,我想首先要先晒黑自己,再做个发型。我很高兴我就是我自己,无论你怎么看待
问:你最美好的篮球时光是什么时候?
这很难说,就好像问那个孩子是你最喜欢的。我有过很多次伟大的成就,无数激动的比赛和绝杀。我很难选择其中的一个。如果从1982年的北卡说起,那次对犹他投中的绝杀球,或者在梦之队打球的经历,打棒球,当然你们这些家伙可能不认为那是一次成功的经历。因为有太多所以很难选出一个。我很高兴有这么多可以选择的。
问:想对芝加哥的球迷说点什么?
这是我的第二故乡,我现在还住在这里,很多人可能以为我不住这了,但我确实还住在这里。Jonathan Kovler和Rod Thorn邀请我这个懵懂的小伙子来芝加哥,那是我第一次离开家乡。北卡到威明顿只有2.5小时车程,因此看上去并不远。他们把我带入行,我开始挣钱过活。他们信任我,我也信任他们。这个关系一直延续到现在。我将永远,永远的热爱芝加哥城,感谢那些支持我的球迷。除了我所做的,我没有更多可以回报球迷的。我也不打算再索取。我只是希望大家能够记住我给这座城市创造的贡献。毫无疑问,没有大家的支持我不可能站在这里。
问:你能谈谈死敌犹他爵士和联盟最脏(dirtiest)的球员约翰斯托克顿嘛?
我不认为斯托克顿是联盟最脏的球员。我可以数出很多。当然你可以说那是脏。我想说他是一个坚韧,实用型球员,他会用他的身体和智力与你对决。我们战胜了他们两次,我想说说我们的球队。因为他们是一个很伟大的球队。他们本不该很容易的打败我们两次。这两支球队的对决是经典的。那群小伙子们,斯托克顿,马龙,教练斯隆,代表了当时犹他的全部。他们是伟大的对手。我很享受和他们的比赛。他们帮助我打到了竞技的巅峰。让我数次享受了顶峰体验。
问:你的先父James现在会想些什么?
他可能可以站在这里回答你所有的问题。他很喜欢谈到我。我想他已经看到我长大成人。我曾是他 的学生,他教会我很多。如果他今天在这里,他应该纵情欢乐一下。我想他应该对我所做的一切感到自豪,对我做出的决定,好的还是坏的,感到自豪,和所有父亲一样:他会很高兴,并且对我职业生涯获得的成就感到满意。他的精神在这里,我能确信这一点。当你看到我,你就看到了他,你看我的母亲,我的兄弟和我的姐妹。我代表我整个家庭站在这里,我想他们和我一样对进入名人堂感到自豪,一个美好的周末。
问:你对被称作史上最伟大的球员如何评价?
人们说我是这项运动的历史上最优秀的球员,对此我感到诚惶诚恐,如果作为一个观点我可以接受。对我而言,我自己没有和杰里韦斯特打过比赛,也没有和埃尔金贝勒或者威尔特张伯伦打过比赛。是的,我当然希望能和他们交手。但我究竟是不是比他们出色这个问题不是我所能决定的。但是球迷这样提起已经让我感到莫大荣幸。但我自己真的不会那么去认为,因为我自己和大多数名人堂球员都没有一起比赛过。”
问:你对公牛的早期回忆是什么?
当我第一次到芝加哥,他们做得还不够好。我们能做的就是不断提高,我们已经无路可退。我来自一所争冠的著名大学篮球队。所以我希望尽我所能帮助球队获胜。获奖的难度一年比一年高。当时,对我们来说目标是进入季后赛。一旦我们进入季后赛,目标就变成了要过第一轮。然后目标变成了东部联盟的决赛。然后是进入总决赛。这是一条常常的路。我们换了球员,有了更好队员。不是说我刚到球队的队友那里不好。只是我觉得需要化学变化,并能在较长时间保持。管理层在人事变动方面很成功。我们经历了三个教练。科林斯提出建立一个独特的可以竞争总冠军的球队,然后菲尔来了并实现了它。我为这个城市骄傲。这是一个让人勤奋的工作环境,并碰巧在公牛队身上应验。一旦我们登上了顶峰,我们就不想放弃。我很高兴我是其中的一部分。我来的时候,只有6000人在看台上观看比赛。这些人中也大多出现在我职业生涯结束的告别演出中,大部分也亲临了这座体育场被出卖的那个夜晚。我希望他们都知道公牛来自哪里,今天的荣誉经历了怎样的拼杀。所以我今天有一点感动,我想大声的说。我和我的队友们最在乎的就是我们是胜利者。我记得和泰克斯温特的一次对话,温特一位伟大的教练。记得那是一场比赛接近尾声的时候,我拿到了20分即将赢得比赛的时候,温特提醒我,比赛已经不需要我了,我回头看了下温特,然后说:“如果我要赢得比赛,你想怎么做?”
问:你可以评价一下科比和詹姆斯嘛?
我看到一些他们相似的地方。这就是篮球的演变。当我出道后,人们总是那我和J博士相比较。我是Walter Davis的粉丝。显然,你们知道我与大卫汤普森的关系。你怎么能不看到自己和科比,詹姆斯的相似之处?他们会感到很有趣。但是,不要急于设法找出下一个迈克尔乔丹。看上去不会有下一个迈克尔乔丹。我是说,方式不同,时间不同,游戏规则,产生的球员也会不同。人们不断努力寻找下一个迈克尔乔丹。首先,你没有找到我。我刚好到来。而接下来你就知道,我在这里。所以你没有找我。而且你不会发现下一个。这不会发生。我敢肯定你们是要承认它。如果还没有准备好,你总会意识到,你们会认为这些小伙子们拥有比乔丹更好的潜力。他们将建立自己的历史,他们就是自己。只需给他们一些时间。
问:你能谈谈已经在名人堂的教练菲尔杰克逊嘛,他对你的职业生涯有什么影响?
我还没有谈到菲尔。他是一个难以捉摸的家伙。我不知道他是在蒙大拿州,南达科他还是北达科他州。我不知道他在哪里现在。在3月份宣布我会是名人堂的球员之一的时候,他已经准备好祝贺词了。而7个月过去了。你永远不知道从菲尔那里会有什么期望。他给我挑战。而且是在我需要挑战的时候给我挑战。他让我提高了对比赛的阅读能力,感知队友和并团结他们的能力。他有时让我处理和其他球员的关系,比如罗德曼,这让我感到很麻烦,但我能恢复过来。对我来说,这是一个很好的学习机会。他能进名人堂,这一点也不奇怪。他目前依然在湖人取得成功,我也不感到意外。因为我觉得他正在和那些小伙子们融合在一起。他们的篮球天赋已经在那里了。我想你们应该知道在菲尔到湖人以前,他有同样的队员。但这些队员在菲尔来了以后取得了令人瞩目的成功,应为菲尔能够把这些人组成一个集体。这是他的长处。当年也是这么教导我们的。我想他会一直干到退休,他对我的职业生涯产生了重大影响,他帮助我学会打球和做人。
问:你职业生涯早期和凯尔特人一役中砍下63分,这对你提高自信有帮助吗?
是的,当你把它提到了这个高度,已经有很多媒体朋友这么说了,“他是很棒,但是还达不到同龄球员例如魔术师约翰逊和大鸟伯德的造诣”。在那场比赛以后,我赢得了伯德的重视,对我来说,那会我已经走在了成为一个更好球员的正确道路上。虽然我获得了高分,但却输掉了那场比赛。但他给了我自信,那是一个我那种水平球员所需要的自信。那时,这可能是对我来说最大的鼓励。
