Warren Buffett praises LeBron James' skills beyond basketball and for his
'money mind'
巴菲特稱讚LBJ籃球以外的技巧以及一個會賺錢的腦袋
Warren Buffett says LeBron James’ skills go beyond basketball and the
billionaire investor lauded the Los Angeles Lakers’ star for his “money
mind."
身家超過百億，著名的投資家華倫巴菲特說LBJ的技術不只有在籃球場上，而且LBJ有個會
賺錢的腦袋。
“People really do have minds that function better than other people’s in
certain areas that you can’t give a test for," Buffett told USA TODAY Sports
Tuesday in a phone interview. “And LeBron, in addition to a lot of other
talents, he has a money mind. And he gets stuff."
「有些人就是有那種在某些領域可以比其他人都要做的好的腦袋，那是測驗測不出來
的，」巴菲特在接受電話訪問時說到。「LBJ除了很多其他的天賦外，他還有個會賺錢的腦
袋，他是有料的。」
James has made $765 million since he turned pro in 2003, according to a
Forbes report published in July. Last year he made $25 million on an
investment of less than $1 million in Blaze Pizza, according to published
reports, while at the same time he has helped develop several entertainment
projects.
根據七月份的富比世雜誌，LBJ在2003年進入職業比賽，總共賺了7億6500萬鎂。據報導，
去年他在投資金額不到100萬鎂的Blaze Pizza上就賺到了2500萬鎂，另外同一時間他也在
進行數個娛樂相關計畫。
“He can separate out the cream from the crap, and you get more of the latter
proposed to you than you do of the former," said Buffett, who added that he
met James shortly after James turned pro and the two have communicated
periodically since then. “You really have to be able to suss it out."
「他可以從垃圾中找到黃金，而大部分的人碰到的都是垃圾，很少可以得到黃金，」巴菲
特也提到，當LBJ轉入職業後，他們兩個定期會有聯絡。「你必須要有能力可以分別這兩
者。」
A friend of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, Buffett was slightly less
effusive when asked how he felt about James’ decision to leave the Cleveland
Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers.
巴菲特也是騎士隊老闆Dan Gilbert的朋友，所以當他被問到有關LBJ決定離開騎士加入湖
人的決定，他就沒有那麼興致勃勃了。
“I was glad to see him go back to Cleveland (from Miami in 2014)," Buffett
said. “To deliver that championship to Cleveland, you know, it was great. It
was one hell of an achievement and I’m glad it happened.
「我很高興看到他回到了克里夫蘭(2014年從邁阿密)，」巴菲特說。「給了克里夫蘭一個
冠軍，你知道的，那真的很偉大；那真的是個了不起的成就，我很開心那終於發生了。」
“But in terms of where effectively, what kind of a group works best, and
everything, I’m sure he made a good choice (signing with the Lakers) and he’
ll bring a lot to anything he does. He’s got a lot more talent than is shown
on the basketball court."
「至於講到哪一個球隊環境比較有效，哪一種團隊最適合，或是其他的考量，我相信LBJ做
了一個很好的選擇(與湖人簽約)，他也一定會努力做每一件事，他除了在籃球場上，他還
有很多其他的天賦。」
