詹姆斯谈到没能和柯比聚餐的遗憾
When he announced he was signing with the Lakers in the summer of 2018, the late, great Kobe Bryant and James had plans to break bread and discuss the ins and outs of Los Angeles, the Lakers franchise and what would be expected of him upon his arrival
当2018年詹姆斯宣布加盟湖人后，他与已故湖人名宿科比-布莱恩计划共同进餐，探讨一下关于洛杉矶的各方面事情，以及湖人将对他的到来报以何种期待
Due to the conflicting and chaotic schedules of each superstar, the two could never establish a firm date. Each time they came across one another, the meeting was brought up, but it kept getting put on the backburner.
It’s something that still bothers James to this day.
由于两位巨星的行程冲突，科比与詹姆斯从来没确定下一个确定的聚餐时间每当他们遇到双方聚会事情就被提起但总是一再推迟，这件事至今仍旧困扰著詹姆斯
Of course, you think there’s going to be time for us to get together and I understand that there are regrets in life, but I definitely wish I had that moment with him,” James told Yahoo Sports. “I do remember when I decided to come here, he sent me a text right away and said, ‘Welcome, brother. Welcome to the family.’ That was a special moment because at the time, Laker faithful wasn’t [fully in on me]. A lot of people were saying, ‘Well, we might not want LeBron at this point in his career,’
and, ‘Is he right? Is he going to get us back [to the Finals]?’ So to hear from him and get his stamp of approval, it meant a lot. I don’t ever question myself, but when it’s coming from Kobe, it definitely meant a lot.
当然，你会认为我们总会有时间聚餐的，我也理解生活中总有遗憾但我真的希望能和他曾度过那个时刻。 我确实记得当我加入湖人后，他立刻就给我传了个短信跟我说欢迎你兄弟，欢迎来到这个家庭，那是一个特殊时刻，因为那时的湖人球迷“并不完全接受我”。 许多人都在说：呃 其实我们不想要处于这个生涯阶段的詹姆斯 或是，他还行吗？ 他能带我们重回总冠军赛？ 因此听到他的话 得到他的认可 这意义重大。 我从不怀疑自己，但当科比这样讲，意义肯定非凡
James disclosed some of the questions and topics he had in mind that he never got a chance to discuss with Bryant.
詹姆斯透露了他原本希望会与科比探讨的一些话题
When I played in Cleveland, I grew up 35 minutes away from there, and so I kind of knew the people. When I went down to Miami, [Dwyane Wade] was able to give me the blueprint on that. But I never played for a historic franchise like the Lakers,” James told Yahoo Sports. “It’s probably like when [Alex Rodriguez] went to the Yankees. He probably heard from [Derek] Jeter on what it's going to take to play in front of this. It’s different from playing with the Mariners. It’s different from the Rangers.
I would have definitely loved to get that side of what it takes, what does it take to win over Laker faithful or how can I make them appreciate my game.
当我在克里夫兰打球时，我就在周边35英里外的地方长大，所以我差不多熟悉那里的人。 当我远赴迈阿密，韦德给我描绘了那里的蓝图 但我从未在像湖人这样的豪门球队打过球。可能有点类似A-Rod当年加盟纽约洋基队的状况，他可能从Jeter那里得到建议 关于在这样的球迷面前打球需要付出什么 那与为了水手队或者游骑兵队打球不一样 我愿意听那方面的建议 关于需要做什么才能赢得湖人球迷的热爱，或者如何才能让他们欣赏我的比赛
And then probably talk about us never meeting in the Finals. Just apologizing to him. In f
