Tracy McGrady wonders how many rings he would have won had he taken Kobe Bryant
’s role in Los Angeles
Tracy McGrady:「如果我跟Kobe角色互換」
---以下摘要---
Recently retired Tracy McGrady can’t stop being asked about Kobe Bryant, which
makes sense. Both players were spectacular swingmen that entered the NBA a year
apart, straight out of high school, utilizing fantastic all-around skills to
pile up the All-Star appearances. McGrady, however, started his career with an
expansion team in its third season, while Bryant was traded to the Los Angeles
Lakers in the same summer that the team signed Shaquille O’Neal. He’s been
there ever since, relatively healthy (read: Kobe Bryant plays through some
nasty injuries) and with five rings, while McGrady bounced around with seven
championship-less NBA teams while juggling serious back and knee injuries.
最近退休的 Tracy McGrady 不停地在訪談中被問到有關 Kobe Bryant的相關問題-其實並不
意外。他們兩位高中跳級生,一個96梯第13順位、一個97梯第9順位前後進入聯盟,都是叱
吒風雲的搖擺人、也都身懷非常全面的技巧,也都是全明星的常客。然而 McGrady 在94年
新成立的暴龍隊開始他前三季的生涯,而 Bryant 則是同樣的夏天被交易到湖人與Shaq搭檔
之後,就一直待在LA沒有轉隊,比較起來也比較無傷無痛(請參考:Kobe Bryant plas
through some nasty injuries),還有五只戒指;但T-Mac在NBA待過7支球隊還有過嚴重的
背傷與膝傷。
Recently, Tracy McGrady spoke with Jay Mohr (which is something I wouldn’t
wish on anyone) to hypothetically talk up a switch-out between he and Kobe.
Larry Brown Sports was nice enough to listen to Jay Mohr interview (which,
again, is not something I would wish on anyone) and transcribe the back and
forth for us:
最近,Tracy McGrady與Jay Mohr(每日午間體育電台的脫口秀節目在福克斯體育電台的主
持人)訪問時談到一個假設性的問題:如果他跟Kobe角色互換的話? Larry Brown Sports
也很好心地聽完Jay Mohr這則訪問還把內容以文字記下:
“Numbers don’t lie. I was in the conversation of being one of the best in the
league,” McGrady told FOX Sports Radio’s Jay Mohr Sports on Wednesday. “
Whether I was better than Kobe, or he was better than me … I was in the
conversation and it didn’t matter at the time. I was playing at a high level
and was very confident when I was on the court.”
T-Mac跟FOX Sports電台主持人Jay Mohr表示:「數字又不會說謊,我過去是大家在討論誰是
最強時的其中一人,不管我有沒有比Kobe強,或是他有沒有比我強,我是在討論名單內的,
不管時間變遷。我當時可是表現出高程度的水準,且我當時在場是自信十足。」
[…]
“
We would have had a great run,” he said when asked about Shaq. “I don’t
know how many but, I know it would have never ended like it did with he and
Kobe. I have a great relationship with Shaq. We would have never clashed heads
like that. Two Alpha dogs going at there will always be (something going on).”
To answer McGrady’s first point? Yes, in 2002-03, McGrady did turn in a better
year than Kobe Bryant. It wasn’t by a huge stretch, and Kobe Bryant fans will
never settle with the idea that a healthy Tracy McGrady was at times Kobe’s
equal, but the production doesn’t lie.
他談到當時他問Shaq:「我們合作的話應該會締造很棒的成績吧,我不確定到底會多棒,但
我想如果是我的話,應該不會像他跟Kobe當時的結局一樣吧。我們應該不會有那樣的衝突對
立。兩個球隊大佬會變那樣一定都是發生些事情。」到底他第一段是什麼意思?沒錯,回顧
2002-03球季,當年T-Mac的表現確實比Kobe出色,但也沒有差很多,而Kobe Bryant的球迷
也絕對不會認同「一個健康的T-Mac = Kobe」,但就就數據的產量而言不是假的。
If Bryant supporters want to bring up the fact that McGrady was allowed to
shoot and dish at will on a team that was desperate for his scoring, they
should understand that we’re looking at efficiency-based numbers – usually
when a lone gunner has to go it all alone, their efficiency stinks. McGrady’s
was through the roof, better than the production of Bryant, who had the luxury
of Shaq’s presence to take a huge amount of pressure off.
如果Bryant的支持者們,想要以因為魔術只能放給他得分所以給T-Mac「無限開火權論」的
話,他們應該想了解,現在我們在討論的是以效率呈現出來的數字--一般而言,一個單槍匹
馬的得分手,在場上隻身力扛球隊的得分,那麼通常扯到效率的數字就會不好看。可是
看看T-Mac的數字表現好到爆表,產能優於在當時有羨煞旁人的Shaq O'Neal可以分擔大量的
得分重任。
