Scottie Pippen blasts LeBron James for lack of effort, says he doesn't have
MJ's 'clutch gene'
Scottie Pippen說LBJ不夠努力：他沒有Michael Jordan關鍵一擊的基因
Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen criticized Lakers forward LeBron James
on Thursday, saying James showed "little to no effort" in a recent game and
that he doesn't have a "clutch gene" that his former Bulls teammate, Michael
Jordan, had.
星期四時，名人堂球星Scottie Pippen批評湖人前鋒LBJ，說他在最近的一場比賽沒有展現
出努力的樣子，LBJ沒有像他的前隊友Michael Jordan所擁有的"關鍵一擊基因"(Clutch
gene)。
"When I look at LeBron, he's not what Michael was as a player," Pippen said
during an NBA All-Star segment on ESPN's First Take. "He's not even what Kobe
Bryant was as a player. So, when you talk about trying to compare Michael's
instinct, his ability to take over games, his ability to want to have the
last shot, LeBron doesn't have that gene. That's not in him. Kobe has that
gene. I see a little bit of it in Paul George. Kawhi (Leonard), (Russell)
Westbrook. ... Not too many players go on the basketball court with that."
「當我在看LBJ的時候，他不是像Michael那樣的球員，」Pippen在全明星賽前接受訪問時
說到。「他甚至不是像Kobe那樣的球員。所以，當你討論到要比較LBJ跟Michael打球的直
覺，掌控比賽的能力，能完成最後一擊的能力，LBJ是沒有那種基因的。那不在他的血液
裡，Kobe有那樣的基因，我在Paul George身上有看到一些，Kawhi (Leonard)，(Russell)
Westbrook....不是很多在場上的球員有那樣子的基因。」
Pippen won six championships playing alongside Jordan. He's offered both
praise and skepticism of James in the past, even saying that James is
"probably ahead of Jordan" in 2017. His comments on the Jordan vs. James
debate have fluctuated over the years.
Pippen跟Michael Jordan一起打球，拿下六座冠軍。他過去對LBJ的評論有褒有貶，在2017
年的時候甚至說"LBJ超過了Jordan"。過去幾年他在評論Jordan vs. LBJ是反反覆覆的。
During the ESPN segment, Pippen was particularly critical of James' lack of
desire in a 117-113 loss to the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week.
在訪問中，Pippen特別針對湖人在這禮拜稍早以117-113輸給老鷹那場裡，批評LBJ缺少贏
球慾望。
"I can sit here and say today, I watched LeBron the other night," Pippen
said. "The game was on the line. And he made little or no effort to go after
the ball."
「我可以在這裡說，我那晚看LBJ打球，」Pippen說。「比賽正在緊要關頭，但是對於去爭
搶球的時候，他沒有展現出一絲絲的努力。」
ESPN host Max Kellerman defended James, claiming the three-time NBA champion
has already played more minutes than Jordan did in his entire career.
ESPN節目主持人Max Kellerman替LBJ辯護，說三屆冠軍得主的LBJ上場打球的時間已經超過
了Jordan生涯打球時間總數了。
"It's not that," Pippen said. "It's that clutch gene. I'm not taking it away
that he don't know how to win, and he's not willing to have the ball in his
hands. But the players that have that clutch gene, they're gonna go get that
ball."
「話不是這樣說，」Pippen說。「是那個關鍵一擊的基因，我不會就說LBJ不懂怎麼贏球，
或是他不想把球掌握在自己手裡，但是，有關鍵一擊基因的球員就是會去拿球的。」
