Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has made a compelling case for
being the best basketball player in the world of late, but the reigning NBA
MVP is aiming even higher.
勇士球星說過一個令人驚嘆的目標, 就是成為現今最好的籃球員, 但這位現任的MVP其
目標遠高於此
In an extensive interview with ESPN the Magazine's Sam Alipour, Curry spoke
of eclipsing Michael Jordan as the best player of all time.
他想要超越Michael Jordan成為"史上"最好的籃球員
"It's a high mountain to climb, but I'm pretty motivated to take on the
challenge," said Curry of surpassing Jordan as the best ever. "Whatever that
means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it
in your own way."
他說:"這是座極崇高的山, 但我很有興趣來挑戰看看, 不管這代表什麼, 如果你能登上
這山的山頂為什麼不去挑戰呢? 儘管用你自己的方式去做就行了"
When Alipour asked Curry to confirm whether he's aiming to top Jordan, the
Warriors floor general replied, "Yeah. Why else would I be playing? You want
to be the best you can be. And if the best you can be is better than him,
then why not? That's good motivation."
記者要Curry確認的說他是不是指超越Jordan的成就, Curry回說:"對啊, 不然我是為了
什麼打球的呢? 你總會想要成為你所能成為最好的人, 如果最好的你有比Jordan好, 那
為什麼不那樣做? 這是很棒的動力
Comparisons between this season's 22-0 Warriors and the Jordan-led 1995-96
Chicago Bulls, who posted the best-ever NBA record of 72-10, have inevitably
surfaced. Why not feed the fire to a debate that could become extremely
heated in the years to come?
對開季22連勝的勇士來說, 被拿來跟1995-96由Jordan領軍打出例行賽72-10的公牛相比
已經是無可避免的事情了, 那為何不在這股勢頭上順勢拼一下未來咧?
Curry may already be the best shooter ever, and as he hinted, he'd have to go
about topping Jordan in his own way. The 27-year-old point guard plays a
different position than Jordan, who was a shooting guard, but he is
nevertheless perhaps the best long-distance shooter in NBA history.
Curry已經是史上最好的射手, 此外也如他所說的, 他得去用自己的方式來超越Jordan,
27歲的Curry在場上打的是PG不是Jordan的SG, 但他很可能是NBA史上最好的長距離射手
There are also many years of elite production ahead if Curry is meant to
match or surpass Jordan statistically. The Bulls legend ended an epic career
with averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals per
contest.
對Curry來說還有許多年去努力在數據上超越Jordan
籃球之神的生涯數據是30.1分6.2籃板5.3助攻2.3抄截
Those figures are similar to Curry's current 2015-16 line of 32.4 points, 4.9
rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.2 steals. However, Curry needs to keep it up over
the next 60 or so games and for years to come to approach Jordan's realm.
這數據跟Curry本季很像, 目前Curry是32.4分4.9籃板5.8助攻2.2抄截, 但Curry還需要
在未來許多年裡都能維持這樣的數據才行
To use his own words, though, Curry is indeed doing it in his own way. He is
scoring from the perimeter at an astonishing rate this season, averaging 11.2
three-point attempts per game and hitting those shots at a 47.2 percent clip
compared to Jordan's career mark of 32.7 percent.
用Curry的話來說, 他的確在用自己的方式來挑戰這目標, 用場均11.2次的三分出手次數
, 搭配47.2%的三分命中率
ESPN Sport Science host John Brenkus compared Curry to another Jordan in
providing some context for the long-range prowess:
Curry is 4 for 9 from 30+ feet this season. That’s 44.4%...better than
DeAndre Jordan from the free throw line
有人拿另一個Jordan來跟Curry做比較, 說:"本季Curry在30呎以上的距離是9中4, 44%
命中率, 比DeAndre Jordan的罰球命中率還好耶"
A stacked Golden State team may prevent Curry from reaching the heights
Jordan did as an individual. Where Curry can really make his case as the
greatest is by leading the Warriors on numerous postseason conquests,
starting with a successful NBA title defense in the next playoffs.
陣容完整且具有深度的勇士團隊或許能幫助Curry在個人數據上超越Jordan, 就是他帶領
著勇士奪冠的次數
Jordan has set a high standard with six championships and two runs of three
straight titles on top of his personal on-court exploits. If Curry could
eclipse the number of Larry O'Brien Trophies Jordan laid claim to, he could
well be regarded as the greatest.
Jordan有六冠以及兩次三連霸, 如果Curry能夠拿更多的冠軍戒, 就有可能超越Jordan成
為史上最好的籃球員
