Bryant joined ESPN’s TV crew from the US Open on Thursday night to talk about
tennis, which he began playing after retiring from the NBA. He is putting out
a tennis book through his production company called “Legacy and the Queen”t
hat he was promoting.
During his appearance, Bryant was asked by John McEnroe what he thinks of anal
ytics.
Kobe今天去現場觀看美網，也上ESPN和John McEnroe接受採訪，被問到了對於數據分析的
想法。
“I hate it,” Kobe said. “It’s ridiculous. What numbers don’t tell you is
they don’t tell you the emotion. I don’t like analytics.
Kobe：我討厭數據分析。這很荒謬，數字無法告訴你的是，它們無法告訴你球員的情緒。
我從來都不喜歡數據分析。
“You see the numbers, but the numbers don’t tell you how or why they are the
way they are. You have to be able to feel that, to sense that. Tendencies.”
你可以看到數字，但是數字並不會告訴你它們是如何呈現出來的，或者呈現出來的原因。
你必須去感受它們。那叫趨勢。
Bryant then gave an example to illustrate his point. He said a stat could tell
you that a player goes to his left 60 percent of the time, but the stat won’
t tell you the player isn’t really comfortable going to his left and would pr
efer to go to his right. He says that’s the sort of thing you find out by sco
uting and watching video.
Kobe舉了一個例子來說明他的觀點，他說譬如有一項數據可以告訴你一名球員他有60%的
時間會往左側移動，但數據不會告訴你該球員在左側的位置其實不是很舒服且他更喜歡往
右側移動。他說這類東西是要通過偵察和看影片來找到的。
短評或心得：
現役球員裡，PG也發表過類似的觀點
