Dominique Wilkins on Kobe Bryant: 'He's the last of the Mohicans'
Dominique Wilkins 谈 Kobe Bryant: '他是最后的莫希干族人'
注：The Last of the Mohicans 是1992年一部电影的片名，中文叫做大地英豪。
“He was a wonderful ambassador for our league,” Wilkins told Sporting News.
“You can love him or hate him, because of his competitive nature, but I will
say this — he is the last of the Mohicans. Now with him retired, our era is
officially over.”
他是我们联盟的一位优秀的大使，基于他的竞争天性，你可以爱他或恨他，
但我会说─他是最后的莫希干族人。眼下他将退休，我们的时代正式结束了。
“I told him when I saw him, what he has done in this league won’t be
duplicated because the game has changed,” Wilkins said. “You won’t see
another player like that again. In terms of competitiveness, the style of
play, playing the game at a very high level. You don’t see that kind of guy
very often, and I think the way the game is now, you won’t see it again.”
我看到他之后曾告诉他，他在联盟中做的一切不会被人复制，因为比赛已经改变了。
你不会再看到另一位这样的球员了，不管是竞争性、球风或比赛的高水准。
你不常看到这样的球员，并且我认为现在的比赛方式使得我们不会再看到这样的球员了。
(讲Wilkins在1999年发现自己有糖尿病)
“I was shocked, it was shock and disbelief and there was a denial stage,”
Wilkins said. “But that denial stage only lasted for a very short time
because I decided to do something about it. I decided I needed to start
exercising, changing my diet, taking medication — I lost 34 pounds in
two-and-a-half months. I have been managing it ever since then. When you are
in great shape, diabetes is very hard to detect. So I did not know I had it.
People ask me all the time if I could have played longer, and I probably
could have played another two or three years if I wanted to because I was in
great shape. So I did not know I had diabetes.”
我很震惊，有一段时间的震惊和不可置信，一段不肯面对现实的时期。
但那个时期很短，因为我决定要有所改善，我决定我要开始运动，改善饮食，吃药，
我在两个半月内掉了34磅，并且到现在都还在控制。
当你身体比较苗条，糖尿病就很难被发现了，所以我一开始并不知道我有疾病。
人们总是问我是否有可能多打几年，而我确实有可能多打两三年因为我身材不错，
也因此我当时并不知道我有糖尿病。
“I do feel I have a responsibility to spread that message,” Wilkins said. “
It is when you stop working out and stop being in great shape, that is when
you find out that you have problems. That is what happened to me, I stopped
training, I stopped working out and I figured out like every other patient
with diabetes that I needed treatment and help.”
我觉得我有责任去告诉大家，那是当你停止工作且没有维持身材，
当你发现你有了问题。那就是我发生的事情，我停止训练和工作，
然后就如其他的糖尿病患我也理解到我需要治疗和帮助。
“He might be in great shape,” Wilkins said. “But starting now, he is just
another old guy like me.”
他(Kobe)可能维持很好的身材，但是从现在开始，他就和我一样是个老人了。
心得：
一个时代的终结。
