主持人 Pat McAfee 問LeBron 他與Jordan的關係
完整逐字稿 (前面3分鐘是LeBron的回答)
Pat: OK, so you and you and Michael at a good spot. 所以你跟麥可現在關係不錯？
LBJ: Who, me and Michael? 誰？我跟麥可？
Pat: Jordan 喬丹
LBJ: Yeah, we're a good spot. We don't talk. 對啊，關係不錯，但我們沒聯絡。
Pat: Why not, you think? 你覺得為什麼？
LBJ: Uh, because I'm still playing. I think I'm still playing. I'm still
focused on my craft right now.
嗯，因為我還在打球。我想是因為我還在打球。我現在還是專注在我的球技上。
Pat: When you're done, you think you two will be the only two that can have
a conversation?
等你退役後，你覺得會不會只有你跟 Jordan，才真正能彼此對話、理解彼此經歷？
LBJ: I hope so. You know, you know, the funny thing is me like me, me and
Kobe, besides our, you know, the late great Kobe, obviously me and Kobe never
had a real relationship either until we was on the Olympic team. We had a
great relationship there. Olympic team 8, Olympic team 12. But it was always
competitive between us. We were always like I was on the East Coast, he was
on the West Coast. And it was like, even though we never..I fucked up one
time and, you know, 2009 and didn't beat Orlando. And I think it was 2009,
didn't beat Orlando and didn't get an opportunity to play him in the finals.
我希望是這樣。你知道嗎，有趣的是，像我跟Kobe，我跟他在奧運隊之前也沒有真正的交
情。我們在那裡關係很好。2008奧運隊，2012奧運隊。但我們之間一直都充滿競爭。我們
總是這樣，我在東岸，他在西岸。就好像，即使我們從未...我曾經搞砸了一次，
你知道，2009年我沒能擊敗魔術，所以沒有機會在總冠軍賽跟他對決。
But like. And until I became a Laker and then he retired, that's when our
relationship like became really, really good. Yeah. You know, he like welcome
me, called me like, bro, anything you need in L.A. Like I got you a Laker
now, you family, you know, and we would have multiple conversations. It was
obviously you got a lot of games and things of that nature. And when I when I
passed him in the scoring record in Philly, you know, I think he had a tweet
out there like, keep on going, like keep transcending the game, keep going
like and that shit like meant so much to me. So like I think it's because I'm
still playing, you know, and MJ, we all know MJ. Even if you don't know him
personally, he's one of the most ruthless competitors. There is. And till I'm
done and he doesn't have to look at me run up and down wearing the number
twenty three and every time my name is mentioned, is mentioned with his. He's
like, I don't want to fucking talk to you.
直到我加入湖人，然後他退休後，我們的關係才變得非常好，真的。你知道嗎，他很歡迎
我，打電話給我說:「兄弟，你在LA有任何需要，儘管說，你現在是湖人的一員了，我們
是家人。」然後我們就會聊很多。當時我們那還是有很多比賽啊、忙一些其他的事。
我在費城打破他的得分紀錄時，我記得Kobe發文:「繼續前進，繼續超越比賽，繼續努力」
那件事對我來說意義重大。所以我覺得是因為我現在還在打球。你知道MJ，我們都知道MJ
，就算你不認識他本人，你也知道他是一個極度好勝、毫不留情的競爭者。」
直到我退役之前，他還得一直看著我在場上跑來跑去、穿著23號球衣，而且每次提到我的
名字，就會跟他的一起被拿來比較。他大概心裡想：「我才不想跟你他媽的講話。」
Pat: Yeah, I'm going to go. 對啊，我懂了。
LBJ: Yeah, don't talk to me right now.I'm on the back nine. Do not call me.
對啊，現在別跟我說話，我正在打高爾夫球的後九洞。
Host2: It was great to see all the top 75. 看到所有的75大球星聚在一起真的很棒。
LBJ: Oh, yeah, that was that was that was dope. That's that's straight.
That's straight respect, admiration and just like, you know, me for sure.I
mean, shit, like I said, I wear twenty three because of MJ, you know, and
that shit, the inspiration that he gave me as a kid in Akron, Ohio, that
don't have much inspiration in your hometown. You look at something. It's got
to be somebody in sports, somebody in music, somebody on the TV screen. So
like Will Smith on Fresh Press, a Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Michael Jordan
playing for the Bulls, Jay-Z, Biggie and Tupac. That was like, yeah, that was
my inspirations. You know, I'm saying like I needed that because I didn't
have like Lane. Yeah, fucking Jerome Lane. Yeah, like, you know, me and shit.
So like, you know, I'm saying
喔對，那真的超讚的，完全是尊重、欽佩，還有…你懂我意思，那就是我啊，完全是我。
我是說，靠，我之前就講過了，我穿 23 號是因為 MJ（Michael Jordan）。他給我帶來
的那種啟發，對我這個來自俄亥俄州Akron的小孩來說意義超大。你在那種地方長大，
身邊根本沒什麼能讓你受到啟發的東西。你會想找些什麼可以看齊的對象，可能是體育界
的、音樂圈的，或者是電視上的人。
所以像是《新鮮王子妙事多》的 Will Smith、公牛隊的 MJ、還有 Jay-Z、Biggie、
Tupac——那就是我心中的偶像，我的靈感來源。你懂吧？
因為我真的需要那樣的榜樣啊，我自己這邊是沒什麼可看的——Jerome Lane？
對，*他媽的 Jerome Lane。*你懂我意思嗎？對啊，就是那樣。
(Jerome Lane 來自Akron，1988進入NBA，生涯也打了幾年，但沒打出什麼太亮眼的成績
有次他在大學爆扣時，把籃板玻璃灌破)
