Not to disagree with LeBron James, but I disagree with LeBron
James. And so does Jerry West.
不是为了反对LBJ而反,不过我和West都不认同LBJ。
James says the NBA wasn't as competitive in 1971-72 as it is now
because the ABA was a separate league then. Therefore, the 33-game
winning streak by West's Los Angeles Lakers that season is a
watered-down light beer compared to the Heat's Dom Perignon streak
of 27 and counting.
LBJ认为1971-72年的湖人受到的挑战没有现代篮球大,
因为当时ABA和NBA还没合并,就像稀释过的啤酒一样。
Sorry, LeWrong, but (A) no, and (B) hell, no.
但是你错错错错错惹~
Let me count the ways that what the Lakers did then is harder than
what the Heat are doing now, even if they get to 33, starting
with …
我要用七大原因来打LBJ的脸:
1. Yes, the ABA
The 1971-72 ABA had only 11 rickety teams and was doing more
folding than a Gap clerk. Most really good players didn't want to
take the risk. It had some legends, but after Julius Erving
(Virginia), Rick Barry (New York), Dan Issel (Kentucky), Billy
Cunningham (Carolina) and Artis Gilmore (Kentucky), the talent
pool went downhill faster than Vince Wilfork on a water slide.
After the merger in 1976, four teams transferred into the NBA plus
another dozen or so other players. "If they were so great, why
didn't we see them in the league?" West asks.
I know why. I was 18 then. I loved the ABA, but even I knew most
of those guys couldn't have made an NBA roster. Some of them could
barely make a jumper.
第一,
ABA和NBA的确还没有合并,但是扣掉我能想起来的五个明星外,
ABA当时已经比NBA弱了。
2. Travel
The Heat have their own plane. The Lakers flew commercial.
