魔术强森：从未想过找其他有名的球员联手
There is a huge difference between the NBA today and what it was a few decades a
go. The biggest difference that fans can notice is the abundance of superteams i
n the modern era. Many superstars have decided to join forces in order to find a
n easy way to win NBA Championships in the modern era.
今天的NBA和几十年前已经有了巨大的不同。球迷们能注意到的最大不同是现代超级球队的
数量太多了。在现代许多超级球星已经决定联手，以找到一个简单的方法来赢得NBA总冠军
。
But during the 1980s or the 1990s, that wasn't the norm. The players didn't have
such huge freedom during free agency. More importantly, the superstars didn't w
ant to join forces either. Instead, they wanted to compete against each other. M
ichael Jordan famously said he would never call up Magic Johnson and Larry Bird
to form a superteam with them.
但在20世纪80年代或90年代，这并不是常态。球员在自由球员市场上没有这么大的自主权。
更重要的是，球星们也不想联手。相对的，他们想要相互竞争。MJ曾说过一句名言，他永远
不会招募魔术强森和大鸟与他们组成一支超级球队。
The 1992 Dream Team was one of the most amazing teams ever formed in the history
of basketball. The likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and many
other NBA superstars played for Team USA to win the gold medal.
1992年的梦之队是篮球历史上最令人惊叹的球队之一。MJ、魔术强森、大鸟和许多其他NBA
超级球星为美国队赢得了金牌。
There are many amazing stories during the time these superstars played together
for Team USA. Magic Johnson recently shared a hilarious story about how Michael
Jordan pulled off a 360 dunk against David Robinson in a Dream Team practice. Af
ter that, Magic went on to explain why he never even thought about forming a sup
erteam with Jordan.
在这些超级球星一起为美国队效力期间，有许多令人惊叹的故事。魔术强森最近分享了一个
有趣的故事，关于MJ如何在梦之队训练中对海军上将完成360度灌篮。在那之后，魔术强森
继续解释为什么他从来没有想过和MJ组建一支超级球队。
"No, no, you know what, I wasn't a guy like that. I never wanted to play with no
body but my dudes. I was good. I've always been a dude wherever I end up, that's
what I'm rolling with. Even pick-up games. I never tried to get all the name du
des. I tried to get dudes who wanted to play. I liked that underdog thing anyway
. Come on, let's go beat these dudes over here. And so that was always my mindse
t and I'm glad. But I would say this, that's what makes sports special. Not, eve
rybody joining each other. Go make it happen."
魔术强森：不，不，你知道吗，我不是那种人。我只想和我的家伙们一起打球。我很好，无
论我到哪里我都是这样的家伙，这就是我所做的，甚至在野场比赛中也是如此。我从没想过
要找所有有名的家伙一起打球，我试图找到想打球的家伙。不管怎样，我喜欢当不被看好的
一方，来吧，我们去打败那些家伙。所以这一直是我的心态，而且我对此很高兴。但我想说
的是，这就是体育的特别之处，而不是，每个人互相加入彼此。去实现它吧。
