[新聞] 大范反對23號全面退休
Stan Van Gundy on Retiring No. 23: '(Jordan) Is Not Jackie Robinson'
ORLANDO -- LeBron James can stop wearing his No. 23 if he wants -- in
deference to Michael Jordan -- but asking the rest of the league to follow
his lead is only showing his immaturity.
詹姆斯本人固然可以自己脫下23號球衣,但他不能要求聯盟所有人都這樣做。
這樣的要求,只顯示自己的不成熟。
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy was asked Friday morning about James' request, and
he didn't hesitate to say he thinks the idea is misplaced.
大范接受訪問時直接說,這種想法完全錯誤。
"It's a nice gesture, but he (Jordan) is not Jackie Robinson. Baseball did it
because it had historical significance,'' Van Gundy said. "There actually
were guys before Michael who could play the game. Then you should retire
numbers that (Bill) Russell, Wilt (Chamberlain), and certainly Oscar
(Robertson) wore. I understand LeBron didn't grow up watching those guys, but
still. ''
"這種想法雖然好,但是喬丹不是Jackie Robinson。MLB這樣做,是因為這有歷史意義。
如果你真要退休23號,那你連比爾羅素、張伯倫、奧斯卡羅賓森都要退。我知道因為詹姆
斯長大的過程中沒有看到這些人,但還是一樣。"
Van Gundy was speaking after his team practiced Friday morning, preparing for
the New Jersey Nets. He also rolled his eyes when asked about the Miami Heat
retiring Jordan's No. 23 in the spring of 2003 as a show of respect. He was
there as an assistant under coach Pat Riley at the time. He obviously didn't
like that idea, either.
2003年喬丹的23號在邁阿密主場被退休,當時的熱火助理教練大范就已經對此表示不滿。
"I wasn't in the banner department,'' he said. "I'm just not one of those
guys who thinks unquestionably that he (Jordan) was the best player of all
time. I don't buy that. We've had a lot of great players at a lot of
positions, so what are you going to do? Retire all the numbers, and pretty
soon our guys will be wearing No. 327 because all the two-digit numbers are
gone.''
"這又不是旗幟大展,我們還有很多很好的球員,妳叫他們以後怎麼辦?兩位數的號碼不久
就會全部用完,你要他們穿327號囉?"
James made his request after his Cavs beat the Heat in Miami Thursday night
with Jordan in the stands sitting alongside Pat Riley, Heat president.
"Michael was a great player, and if the NBA wants to decide that every other
team in the league has to worship him, then that's up to them,'' Van Gundy
said. "Would I be for that? No.''
大范最後說,如果大家最後都想一同向喬丹"致敬",那隨便他們。
但是他自己不吃這套。
