Michael Wilbon criticizes ESPN's coverage of Bronny James
Michael Wilbon 批评 ESPN对 Bronny的报导
For at least the past calendar year, everyone across the basketball world has be
en talking about Bronny James, seemingly ad nauseam. Many have been skeptical th
at he has what it takes to become a legitimate NBA player or even belongs in pro
basketball, but since he's the son of LeBron James, a few have been quick to pr
oclaim him a guaranteed future superstar.
过去一整年Bronny James已经成为篮球界讨论的热门话题，多数人根本不信他有多大的本事
可以打NBA，就因他是LeBron之子，还是有少数人认为他一定会成为未来的超级巨星。
ESPN has been one outlet that has talked plenty about the younger James, such as
when Stephen A. Smith pleaded with the elder James to "stop this" involving his
alleged involvement in the 20-year-old's NBA career. That comment from Smith se
emed to spark a feud between him and the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer.
ESPN就是整天炒作小詹的媒体之一，像Stephen A. Smith之前就公开喊话老詹“别再插手”
儿子的职业生涯，这番话似乎引发了SAS与这位40岁未来名人堂球员之间的不和。
But one ESPN show that hasn't talked much about the younger James is "Pardon the
Interruption." Co-host Michael Wilbon explained why and even criticized his net
work a bit for its coverage of the rookie guard
不过ESPN旗下节目 Pardon the Interruption 倒是很少谈论这件事，主持人Michael Wilbo
n最近就解释原因，还顺便批评了自家公司
And, look, I am a father, too,” Wilbon said. “Let me let you in on some inside
baseball, Bobby [Burack]. And you probably know this. But ‘PTI’ did not talk
about Bronny. We never did. All the Bronny talk that our network did was panderi
ng. It was for clicks and eyeballs. I refused to participate.
好了，我也是当爸爸的人。Wilbon对Bobby Burack说：我来跟你爆个内幕我们PTI从来不讨
论Bronny。ESPN那些整天报Bronny的新闻只是纯粹骗流量和点击率，我拒绝参与这种事。
You can go back and look, ‘PTI’ didn’t cover him, except for maybe the real n
ews, like the day after he was drafted. Those other shows, it was every day. Bro
nny. Bronny. Bronny. What the hell is this? It was a disaster waiting to happen.
你们去查纪录，PTI 顶多在他选秀隔天报一下。其他节目天天Bronny来Bronny去，到底是怎
样？这根本是场灾难，迟早会出事。
I have a 17-year-old son, so this matters to me. I am particularly sensitive to
it. I’d do anything for my kid, and I would hug LeBron for what he did for his
kid.
我有个17岁的儿子，所以特别能感同身受。身为父亲，我会为孩子付出一切，我完全理解詹
姆斯为儿子做的事，甚至想给他一个拥抱
I am a father first. That’s how I see this story—not as a columnist or a talki
ng head–but as a father first. So, I get what LeBron did. And LeBron has also b
een great to my kid.
我是个父亲，这是我看待这件事的角度，不是以专栏作家或评论员的身份，而是以一个父亲
的立场，因此我明白詹姆斯的动机，而且他对我儿子也很友善。
But as far as coverage, no. There were shows that talked about Bronny every day.
You know what shows I’m talking about. I don’t care if my bosses get mad. The
y would try to get Tony [Kornheiser] and me to talk about it. No, we were not go
ing to do it.
但说到媒体报导，天天都有节目在炒作Bronny，你知道我在说哪些节目。就算我顶头上司不
爽我也要讲出来，他们以前要我和Tony硬聊这个，我们就是不愿意。
The younger James has shown plenty of progress in the G League over the last sev
eral weeks. He finished the regular season there with averages of 21.9 points, 5
.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals a game while shooting 44.5% from the fie
ld and 38% from 3-point range. On Monday, he exploded for 39 points on 14-of-21
shooting in his penultimate game of the season.
He even scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting in an NBA game between the Los Ange
les Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks on March 20.
小詹近期在G联盟表现出色，例行赛场均21.9分、5.5助攻、5.2篮板和2.0抄截，投篮命中率
44.5%，三分球命中率38%。周一（当地时间）的倒数第二场比赛中，他更以21投14中狂砍39
分。
3月20日湖人对公鹿的NBA比赛中，他也以10投7中攻下17分。
But he still has a long way to go before he proves he is legitimate NBA material
, and this summer, not to mention next season, will be of the utmost importance
for him.
然而要证明自己具备NBA实力，他仍有长路要走。今年夏天与下个赛季，对他而言将至关重
要。
