LEBRON JAMES SAYS NBA SHOULD NAME AN AWARD OR DAY AFTER FORMER COMMISSIONER
DAVID STERN
LeBron James说联盟应该用一个奖项或是选一天来纪念过世的前NBA总裁David Stern
Following the death of former NBA commissioner David Stern on Wednesday, Los
Angeles Lakers star LeBron James stated that he thinks the league should name
either an award or a day to honor Stern.
在星期三前NBA总裁David Stern过世之后，洛杉矶球星LeBron James认为联盟应该用一个
奖项或是选一天来纪念Stern。
"He definitely should have something named after him," James said to
reporters after the Lakers 117–107 win over the Phoenix Suns. "Either if
it's an award, or, I don't know, a day? During the course of the NBA season,
there's a 'David Stern Day.' I don't know. We can figure it out."
“Stern绝对需要有个什么东西用他的名字来纪念他的，”LBJ在昨天以117-107击败太阳之
后接受访问时说到。“像是一个奖项，或者，我不知道，像是选一天来纪念他？就像是在
赛季里选一天，就说是David Stern日。我不知道，大家可以想想看。”
Stern died on Wednesday three weeks after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
Stern是在三星期前发生脑部出血，在这个星期三过世。
James also included Stern's name along side that of James Naismith, who
invented the game in 1891, as "two of the most important people for the game
of basketball."
LBJ把Stern跟在1891年发明篮球这项运动的James Naismith放在一块，说这两位是"篮球运
动里最重要的人"。
"Obviously Dr. Naismith because he created the game and then David, his
vision," James said. "His vision to make this game global."
“很显然的Dr. Naismith很重要，因为他发明了篮球，”LBJ说。“而David则是因为他的
眼界让篮球成为全球化的运动。”
Stern may not have an award or day named after him yet, but it would not be
unusual for the NBA to honor him in this way, considering two other trophies
are named after two former league commissioners.
或许目前还没有哪个奖项或是有哪一天是来纪念Stern的，不过看到目前有两个奖项就是以
之前的联盟主席名字命名来看，联盟之后决定用这种方式来纪念Stern也就不会太意外了。
