LeBron James opened up about the apologetic phone call he received from Kyrie
Irving
LBJ講到Kyrie Irving那通道歉電話
After the Celtics blew a double-digit lead en route to another frustrating
loss in January, Kyrie Irving called LeBron James to apologize for once “
being that young player that wanted everything at his fingertips.”
在一月份青賽的一場比賽原本兩位數領先最後輸掉之後，Kyrie Irving打電話給LBJ，為
"曾經是一位想要手邊所有東西的年輕球員"跟LBJ道歉。
The intervening years since Irving and James partnered for a championship
with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 have given the point guard a new
appreciation for veteran leadership. Irving told reporters after the
conversation that it takes “a real man” to call somebody and acknowledge
prior mistakes.
在2016年與LBJ聯手為騎士拿下NBA總冠後，Kyrie Irving這位控球後衛開始對於老將領導
力有了新的體認。在那通電話後Kyrie Irving告訴記者，一個"真正的男人"才會去打電話
給別人，承認他之前的犯下的錯誤。
James used the same phrase to describe his former teammate during All-Star
Weekend.
在明星賽周，LBJ也用同樣的話來描述他的這位前隊友。
“I’ve always loved Kyrie, from before I met him, [until] when I became his
teammate, to even now,” James said Saturday. “I’ve always thought he was
special. I mean there’s a reason why there’s only 24 of us here this
weekend. He’s here for a reason. The phone call, more than for me, I think
just to see his growth. It takes a real man and a real person to understand
who they are.”
「我一直都很愛Kyrie，在還沒碰到他前，以及成為他的隊友後，一直到現在都是，」LBJ
在星期六的時候說到。「我一直認為他是個特別的人，我的意思是那就是為甚麼在這個周
末只有這24名球員會在這裡，他在這裡只有一個理由。那通電話，對我來說意義更大，我
認為我看到了他的成長。只有一個真正的男人，一個真正的人，才能了解自己是一個怎樣
的人。」
As captain of Team LeBron in Charlotte, the Los Angeles Lakers star nabbed
Irving with his second pick in the All-Star draft. James applauded him for
picking up the phone.
身為明星賽LBJ隊的隊長，這湖人球星在選隊友時以第二順位選了Kyrie Irving。LBJ讚許
Kyrie Irving拿起電話的動作。
“To be able to call, or to do anything and see their wrongdoings, or believe
they had some wrongdoings and then be able to come to grips with that and
either apologize or say that, ‘At that point in time I thought I was ready
for something but I really wasn’t.’ I’m not here to — I really don’t
want to talk about it too much because it’s not for everybody,” James said.
「要能夠打電話，或是做其他的事，能夠了解到之前的錯誤，或者是認為自己曾經做錯事
而能夠去面對，不管是去道歉或是說，『在人生某個階段我以為我已經準備好要做一些事
情，但是實際上我還沒準備好。』我不是來這邊講
