魔术强森谈辞职：没实权，有些人想当GM
After his playing career, Magic Johnson was at one point the president of basket
ball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving the team in 2019. On a recen
t episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, Magic Johnson admitted that former Lake
rs coach Luke Walton was the reason he left his position with the team. (58:20)
在魔术强森的职业生涯结束后，他一度在洛杉矶湖人队担任GM，并于2019年离开球队。在最
近一期的播客节目中，魔术强森承认前湖人总教练Walton是他离开球队的原因。
Shannon Sharpe: Why did you step down (from the Lakers)?
主持人：你为什么离开湖人？
Magic Johnson: "It's just I had to, I, I thought I had the power to do what I wa
nted to do.
"I wanted to fire Luke Walton."
魔术强森：我不得不辞职，我以为我有能力做我想做的事。我想炒掉Walton。
Shannon Sharpe: You didn't feel that he was capable of doing the job?
主持人：你不认为Walton有能力胜任这份工作？
Magic Johnson: "Oh, I knew he wasn't. And so I said, ‘Hey, we’ve got to let hi
m go. He's not the right guy; he is not a great coach for the Laker team.’ And
they wanted to keep him. So, I said, ‘okay.’ I already knew that I didn't want
to fracture the great relationship I had with Jeanie Buss, because that's my si
ster. So, and instead of me sitting there - and I can never be this dude that ju
st sits and not says what's on my mind - I said, ‘let me just exit. It's going
to be best for everybody.’
魔术强森：我知道他不能胜任。所以我说“我们必须解雇他，他不是适合湖人的好教练。”
然后他们想要留下他，所以我说“那好吧。”我不想破坏我与珍妮的良好关系，因为她就像
是我的妹妹。所以，我没有继续待在那里，我不可能成为坐在那个位置上但不能说出自己想
法的人。所以我说“让我走吧，这对每个人都好。”
"I felt some dudes wanted to be in the seat that I had. So, hey, you let 'em hav
e it. You go ahead, you can have it, I'm out. And Jeanie and I are still great f
riends, so it was the best move and I'm glad I did it.
魔术强森：我觉得有些人想坐我的位置。所以，你就让他们当吧。你们开始吧，你们可以拿
到GM的位置，我走了。珍妮和我仍然是好朋友，所以这是最好的方式，我很高兴我这样做了
。
Usually, the president of basketball operations gets full reign on hiring/firing
a coach. It is easy to see why Magic Johnson wanted to leave the Los Angeles La
kers, as Luke Walton clearly didn't fit his vision of what a good coach looks li
ke.
通常，GM全权负责聘请/解雇教练。魔术强森想要离开洛杉矶湖人队的原因很容易理解，因
为Walton显然不符合他心目中一个好教练的样子。
