1.Who's your NBA title favorite?
认为谁有机会夺冠
O'neal:The Lakers look good. Brooklyn looks good, question mark, question m
ark, question mark. You have to respect the champs (Milwaukee Bucks). Golden S
tate is back. Don’t forget about Utah, Phoenix and Boston.
O'neal：湖人看起来很棒，篮网也是(???考量ki出赛的问题) ，你必须尊重公鹿(上季冠
军) ，勇士也回来了，但也别忘了爵士、太阳、赛提。
Every year we have six or seven teams that have a shot to win. But I think if
it all goes down the way the world would want it to, we would love to see Broo
klyn versus the Lakers.
每年都会有6到7只队伍有机会夺冠，但我认为大家最想看湖人对上篮网吧。
2.Who do you have in a Nets-Lakers Finals?
假设总冠是湖人对篮网会选谁？
O’Neal: “I got the Lakers. They seem to be a little bit more together. For t
hem and Brooklyn, they have two issues. How are the egos managed and the healt
h.
O'neal：我会选湖人，他们看起来更团结，但这两队的问题在自我与健康的部分
If everybody plays their role and everybody does what they’re supposed to do
and everybody sacrifices and stays injury free, I think those two teams are t
he frontrunners and have the best shot.
如果每人维持角色定位，做自己该做的事、懂得牺牲且保持健康，我认为两队的确是夺冠
热门。
3.What are the question marks you have with Brooklyn?
你认为篮网的问题在哪边？
O’Neal: “Is Kyrie going to play or not? That’s it. One question – are you
playing home games or not.”
O'neal：所以Ki要不要打？就这么简单
就一个问题：你到底会不会打？
4.Who do you have as your MVP?
你认为MVP应该会是谁？
O'neal: “Steph Curry. Look at what he did last year without Klay. He just kep
t playing. The way he shot the ball and how he shot the ball, I’ve always lik
ed him.
O'neal：Curry，看看去年他身边没有Klay时的表现，他延续了之前的打法，看看他是如
何投篮的，我一直都很喜欢他。
There’s always an argument on the TNT set that ‘You can’t be MVP if your te
am doesn’t have the best record.’ I’ve always found that wrong. I always fe
lt MVP was about singularity and not about team success. I’ve always like how
Steph plays."
TNT电视台总是有一个说法，那就是你的球队如果没有好的成绩，那你就不能当MVP。我一
直觉得这是错误的想法，MVP的评选应该是独立的，与球队成功与否不完全相关，我一直
都很喜欢Curry的打球方式。
5. Where do you stand on some players, such as Kyrie, Andrew Wiggins and Bradl
ey Beal, declining to take the COVID-19 vaccine?
怎么看几位反对打疫苗的球员？
O’Neal: “In this line of work, sometimes you have to be selfless. The day I
decided it wasn’t all about me and it’s about us is the day I started winnin
g and really started dominating.
在这个情况下你必需无私点，不是因为
自己，而是为了让球队可以开始赢球并主宰比赛(后续也提到不想成为一个因为不能团结
再一起而造成无法夺冠的人) 。
I understand the issues and all that. But I took the vaccine because I’m not
trying to get my mother sick, or my sister or my brother or people around me.
I know people say, ‘The vaccine came too fast and is it healthy.’ To each h
is own. But sometimes you have to think about the overall picture and you have
to think about more than yourself.
我了解现在情况，但我打疫苗是因为不想让妈妈、兄弟姐妹或周围的人生病，我知道有些
人会说：“啊～疫苗发展太快了啊～不一定有效啦！”之类的话，但有时你必需顾全大局
，多为别人着想才对。
大致将访问都翻到，也提到Simmons为何要如此生气，应该好好跟76管理层谈一下
