Hawks’ Vince Carter thinks ‘gimmicky thing’ in Slam Dunk Contests is ‘
overrated’
老鷹Vince Carter認為 灌籃大賽裡面的花招是過譽的
The NBA All-Star festivities will take place this weekend, and one of the
most anticipated events is the Sprite Slam Dunk contest.
NBA全明星活動在這周末開始，其中一個最為大家所期待的就是灌籃大賽。
The participants for this year’s dunk contest are New York Knicks’ Dennis
Smith Jr., Atlanta Hawks’ John Collins, Oklahoma City Thunder’s Hamidou
Diallo, and Charlotte Hornets’ Miles Bridges.
今年參加灌籃大賽的參賽者有尼克的Dennis Smith Jr.，老鷹的John Collins，雷霆的
Hamidou Diallo，以及黃蜂的Miles Bridges。
The dunk contest has been underwhelming in recent years, as participants tend
to use props to make simple dunks look great. Veteran forward and former Slam
Dunk champion Vince Carter thinks that people are giving too much credits on
gimmicks more than the dunks themselves.
灌籃大賽最近幾年令人無法抵擋，參賽者會用一些道具讓一些簡單的灌籃看起來很炫。前
鋒老將也是前灌籃冠軍Vince Carter認為大家給那些花招太多的鼓勵，反而忽略了灌籃本
身。
Vince Carter, considered by a lot of people as the best dunker in the history
of the league, won the dunk contest in 2000, and he won the title just by
sheer creativity and athleticism. No props, no gimmicks, just 100% pure
talent.
Vince Carter在2000年拿下灌籃大賽冠軍，也被很多人認為是聯盟史上最佳灌籃球員，他
拿下那屆冠軍靠的只有創意跟體能，沒道具，沒花招，百分百是天賦的展現。
However, since the dunk contest has been part of the All-Star weekend for a
very long time, participants had to think of other ways to entertain the
fans, especially since a lot of dunks had already been done by previous
contestants in the past.
然而，灌籃大賽在全明星周已經舉辦了很久，參賽者得要想出奇招來娛樂觀眾，尤其很多
的灌籃動作已經在以前被做過了。
Still, it’s tough to argue with Vince Carter on this one. Even with props,
some participants have failed to add creativity to their performance in the
dunk contest.
不過，要跟Vince Carter辯駁這件事是有難度的。即使有道具，一些參賽者仍舊沒辦法在
他們的表現裡加入一些創意。
If VC can still do it, pretty sure he’d participate in this year’s Slam
Dunk contest to teach the youngsters a think or two about the beauty of
dunking the basketball.
如果VC還可以，很確定的他就會參加今年的灌籃大賽，好好教教年輕人幾招甚麼才是展現
灌籃真正的美。
Still, a lot of today’s best dunkers look up to Vince Carter as inspiration,
and that speaks volumes to the legacy that he will leave once he decides to
hang it up.
不過，現今許多年輕灌籃好手把Vince Carter視作他們的啟蒙，而當VC決定不做就不留戀
的傳奇事蹟就更是不言自明了。
