How important is a championship to your legacy?
问：赢得一座冠军对你的成就遗产有多重要？
DL: I think it’s very important when you talk about how other people view
me. Of course, people are going to say, “You don’t have a ring.” You see
how people talk to Charles Barkley, and he’s Charles Barkley. He was a great
player. Of course it’s at the top of the list for me to win a championship.
I don’t train and come into seasons thinking about anything more than
wanting to win it this year. Personally, I know my body of work speaks for
itself. I haven’t won a championship, but I’ve won a lot of games. I’ve
had three seasons in my entire career where I wasn’t a winner out of 11
seasons. There were eight seasons where we were winning, and I was performing
consistently at the level I’ve performed at for 11 years. That has to mean
something, especially with how I’ve been as an individual, to go along with
my performance. That has to say something. A championship would mean a lot to
me, but in my personal opinion, if I don’t win it, it’s not the end all, be
all to me. I wouldn’t be happy with it, but I think when you talk about
other people’s perception, I think it’s extremely important to my legacy. It
’s extremely important to me, but my opinion of me not winning wouldn’t be
the same as others.
我认为当谈到其他人如何看待我时，这非常重要。当然人们会说：“你没有冠军戒指。”
你看看人们是如何对待Charles Barkley的，但他可是Charles Barkley啊。他是一位伟
大的球员。当然，对我来说赢得一个冠军是首要目标。我在训练和进入赛季时，想的只是
希望在今年赢得冠军。
就个人而言，我知道我的成就已经说明了一切。我没有赢得冠军，但我赢得了很多比赛。
在我11年的职业生涯中，只有三个赛季我不是一个赢家。有八个赛季我们都是赢家，而我
在这些赛季中一直保持了一贯的水准。这一定意味着什么，特别是考虑到我个人的表现。
这一定有所代表。
对我来说，赢得冠军意味着很多，但就我个人而言，如果我没有赢得它，对我来说并不是
一切或最重要的事情。我不会对此感到满意，但我认为当你提到他人的看法时，这对我的
遗产和我来说非常重要，但我对自己没有赢得冠军的看法，不会和其他人一样。
