LeBron says Iverson pound-for-pound Probably The Greatest Ever
Allen Iverson is one of the most influential players on the current
generation of NBA players. Yes, Jordan gets mentioned, and younger players
talk about Kobe Bryant but Iverson’s fearless style on and off the court has
a lot of admirers.
Allen Iverson可說是這個世代中最有影響力的球員之一。想當然，Jordan總是會
被提名，又或者是Kobe Bryant。不過Iverson無所畏懼的球風也頓時吸引了不少仰
慕他的球迷。
Put LeBron James in that group.
現在請把LeBron James也放進這份名單裡。
Talking about Iverson’s official retirement Wednesday when the Sixers play
Miami, LeBron heaped praise on Iverson Monday, as reported by Tom Haberstroh
at ESPN’s Heat Index.
當提到Iverson即將在美國時間星期三正式高掛球衣時，根據記者Tom Haberstroh
表示LeBron是這樣評價Iverson:
“Pound-for-pound, probably the greatest player who ever played,” James said
of Iverson, who will retire in a Sixers pregame ceremony ahead of Wednesday’
s home opener against the defending champion Heat.
"如論身高體重來說，Iverson可能是史上最偉大的球星。"費城將在開幕賽也就是
對陣熱火的比賽前幫Iverson舉行退休儀式。
LeBron did the same thing in a recent ESPN the Magazine interview.
除此以外，LeBron在前一陣子也有向ESPN雜誌表示相同的看法。
“I watch Jordan more than anybody for sure,” James said in ESPN The Magazine
’s NBA Preview Issue. “But I’ll watch tapes of A.I., too. I don’t take
anything from A.I.. Well, I do — his will. They say he was 6 feet, but A.I.
was like 5-10½. Do we even want to say 160? 170 [pounds]? Do we even want to
give him that much weight? And he played like a 6-8 2-guard. He was one of
the greatest finishers we’ve ever seen. You could never question his heart.
Ever. He gave it his all. A.I. was like my second-favorite player growing up,
after MJ.”
"我看得最多的就是Michael Jordan的比賽，也常看Allen Iverson的比賽，他的
意志驚人，他是最棒的進攻終結者，他永遠拚盡全力，你無法質疑他的決心，他
可能只有5吋10吋半高，沒有六吋，但他卻打像一名6呎8吋的得分後衛。Iverson
是我成長過程中第二喜歡的球員，僅次於Jordan。"
Throw Dwyane Wade in the category of big Iverson fans, too.
另外也要把Dwyane Wade列入為眾多Iverson粉絲的一員。
“One of my favorite players obviously of all time. Michael Jordan, Kobe
[Bryant], T-Mac [Tracy McGrady] and A.I.,” Wade said. “Those were the ones
that I looked up to coming up. I take pride in wearing No. 3 because A.I.
wore No. 3.”
Wade表示 : "Iverson是我最喜愛的球星之一。另外Michael Jordan，Kobe Bryant
Tracy McGrady都很棒。他們都是我成長過程中的偶像，尤其是Iverson
，我很驕傲能夠穿上3號球衣，因為Iverson也穿3號。"
Iverson’s career ended awkwardly, but we should look back on the early
days, because LeBron is right — Iverson was as entertaining a player as the
league has seen and got as much out of his talent as anyone.
雖然Iverson的籃球生涯結束的有點怪異，不過這也無法抹滅確實曾經有一段屬於
他自己輝煌的時刻。也許就像LeBron所說那樣
