Kobe Bryant admits he wanted to play without Shaquille O’Neal to prove he cou
ld win titles on his own
“Here is the thing. I get chastised a lot for being selfish, saying we just g
ot to fit into a team, it’s about winning championships,” said Bryant. “I g
et it, I’m doing it, right? We won three straight. I got it.
情况是这样，（与Shaq搭档期间）我经常被批评打球自私，外界都说我们必须融入球队，
重要的是夺冠。我明白，我也这么做了。我们完成了三连霸。
But I also knew that when my career’s over they’re going to chastise me for
the same thing: ‘Oh well, you’re only great because you played with Shaq.’
I’m like, ‘Whoa, hold up. You can’t have it both ways, bro?’ You know?”
但是我当时也知道，等到我退役的时候，别人又会批评我：噢，你之所以伟大是因为你和
Shaq一起打球。我会觉得，等等，我怎么做都不讨好？你懂我的意思吗？
“So it was important for me and Shaq to go separate ways because I didn’t wa
nt people to use that against me — they still do — but it was important that
I win championships without him,” Bryant continued.
所以对我来说，和Shaq分开很重要，因为我不想因为这点被别人说闲话，虽然他们依然会
，但重要的是，我在身边没有Shaq的情况下也夺冠了。
“And you get a glimpse of what I could have done individually had I not playe
d with him. See what I’m saying? So that was a big driving factor. It was lik
e, ‘Hold on, don’t get it f***ed up now.’ Like, I’m doing this thing, I’m
playing with Shaq, it’s like — take Mike put him with Wilt — Shaq was a fo
rce of nature, right? So you’ve kind of take a back seat.”
你可以看到我在没有他的时候所取得的成就。知道我在说什么吗？所以这是一个很大的驱
动因素。和Shaq一起打球，或者你想像Michael（Jordan）在张伯伦身边打球。Shaq自然
会成为核心，你只能排在他后面。
