I never played against Oscar Robertson or Jerry West. Would've loved to, absolutely loved to, just the competitor that I am. And I actually learned from them. We paved the road to the Kobes and LeBrons, right? And to me, that's the beauty of the game of basketball, that a player after a previous player has evolved the game further. But then—this is how I look at it—don't use that against the player that actually taught you the game, or that you learned from. That's where I have a tough time. I would have loved to play against LeBron, Kobe in my prime, I would love to have played against those guys. But we'll never be able to know that. 對我來說，這個頭銜根本不存在。我從來沒跟 Oscar Robertson 或 Jerry West 交過手 。以我的好勝心，我絕對、絕對會想跟他們較量，而且我其實從他們身上學到很多。我們 為後來的 Kobe 和 LeBron 鋪了路，對吧？對我來說，這就是籃球運動的迷人之處：後進 的球員讓比賽持續進化。但這是我看這件事的角度，你不應該拿這一點來貶低那些教會你 怎麼打球、或是讓你從中學習的前輩。這是我覺得最難接受的地方。我也很想在我的全盛 時期跟 LeBron 或 Kobe打，我絕對想跟這些傢伙過招。但我們永遠無法知道結果 Part of the marketing, part of the hype, part of the things that tries to elevate one generation above the other. I think it creates animosity. I have no animosity against today's players. But you do have certain players that do have animosity because of the forgottenness of what their contribution has been to the game of basketball. It is what it is. It is a empty comparison. It's that absolutely never find that the true answer to that question. 這有一部分是行銷，一部分是炒作，還有一部分是為了把某個世代捧得比另一個世代更高 。我覺得這會產生敵意。我對現在的球員沒有敵意，但確實有些前輩會感到不平，因為他 們對籃球的貢獻被遺忘了。事實就是如此。這是一種空洞的比較，你絕對無法從中找到真 正的答案。 主持人： It's a circular conversation. You never get the right answer. 這是一個鬼打牆的對話，永遠不會有正確答案。 MJ: It's just gonna keep going. But it's great to talk about. 100% to talk about an envision. Look, I think LeBron has had an unbelievable career. I admire him for what he's done. And Kobe as well as KD and all these guys who have played in this era. I think they've elevated the game of basketball tremendously. I just don't agree when you start trying to put one above the other. It doesn't work. We'll never know. ... We should always honor [the impact of previous generations of players], we should always preserve that, we should always [acknowledge] that they paved the way for a lot of generations after them. I mean Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell had 11 championships. How do you just push them in a corner and say, 'We aren't going to think about you. We forgot about you.' That to me is where I get lost. 這種爭論會一直持續下去。但拿來當作話題或想像一下是很棒的，百分之百值得討論。聽 著，我覺得 LeBron 的職業生涯非常不可思議，我很佩服他的成就。Kobe 也是，還有 KD 以及所有在這個時代打球的球員。我覺得他們極大地提升了籃球的水準。 我只是不同意那種硬要分出誰高誰低的作法。這行不通，我們永遠不會知道答案。 我們應該永遠尊重前輩的影響力，應該守護那段歷史，並承認他們為後輩開闢了道路。我 是說，像是 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar、Wilt Chamberlain，還有拿過 11 座冠軍的 Bill Russell。你怎麼能直接把他們晾在一邊，然後說：「我們不打算考慮你們，我們已經忘 了你們了」？這是我最無法理解的地方 備註 高度真的差好多.... 這有一部分是行銷，一部分是炒作，還有一部分是為了把某個世代捧得比另一個世代更高 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.248.207.220 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1773053517.A.2FB.html
