湖人记者：目前LBJ在湖人队的权力已超越了当年的Kobe
Kobe Bryant will forever go down as one of the greatest players ever and arguabl
y the best to ever suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers. But not even the Black Ma
mba had the power with the front office that LeBron James does.
Kobe将永远成为有史以来最伟大的球员之一，并且可以说是洛杉矶湖人队有史以来最好的球
员。但即使是Kobe也没有像LBJ那样有参与管理阶层的权力。
Via Bill Oram of The Athletic:
But for as important as Bryant was to the Lakers, sources inside the organizatio
n have long said that not even the legendary Black Mamba wielded as much power w
ithin the organization as James now has.
Bryant was never able to strong-arm the Lakers to make a move like the one James
helped orchestrate for Westbrook, which has proven to be an outright disaster.
湖人记者：湖人内部的消息人士长期以来一直表示，即便是Kobe当年在湖人内部的权力也不
如现在的LBJ。Kobe从未像LBJ这样强迫球队做像是龟龟这般的交易，而这笔交易已被证明是
彻底失败的。
The Lakers did trade Shaquille O’Neal to placate Kobe before he hit free agency
in 2004, but when he was under contract like James is now they did not always g
ive in to his demands.
湖人记者：在Kobe于2004年成为自由球员之前，湖人虽然透过交易走大欧来安抚了Kobe，但
当Kobe像现在的LBJ一样签约时，湖人并非总是屈服于Kobe的要求。
They didn’t give in to his trade demand in 2007. They brought back Phil Jackson
even though his relationship with Bryant was strained. They avoided making a pa
nicked move to marginally improve a lackluster roster and instead waited for Pau
Gasol to become available.
湖人记者：湖人在2007年也没有屈服于Kobe的交易申请，部分原因是湖人聘请了禅师，他和
Kobe的关系很紧张。湖人并没有因Kobe的反应惊慌失措的去改善当时平凡的阵容，而是等待
到Pau Gasol。
Yes, there was a time when Kobe wanted out. But, the Lakers refused to trade him
. Do you think that would happen with James? Absolutely not. There isn’t a play
er in the NBA who holds as much power as he does.
是的，曾经有一段时间Kobe想要离开。但是，湖人拒绝交易他。你认为这会发生在LBJ身上
吗？绝对不会。 NBA中没有一个球员像他一样拥有如此多的权力。
