LEBRON JAMES SAYS NBA SHOULD NAME AN AWARD OR DAY AFTER FORMER COMMISSIONER
DAVID STERN
LeBron James說聯盟應該用一個獎項或是選一天來紀念過世的前NBA總裁David Stern
Following the death of former NBA commissioner David Stern on Wednesday, Los
Angeles Lakers star LeBron James stated that he thinks the league should name
either an award or a day to honor Stern.
在星期三前NBA總裁David Stern過世之後，洛杉磯球星LeBron James認為聯盟應該用一個
獎項或是選一天來紀念Stern。
"He definitely should have something named after him," James said to
reporters after the Lakers 117–107 win over the Phoenix Suns. "Either if
it's an award, or, I don't know, a day? During the course of the NBA season,
there's a 'David Stern Day.' I don't know. We can figure it out."
「Stern絕對需要有個甚麼東西用他的名字來紀念他的，」LBJ在昨天以117-107擊敗太陽之
後接受訪問時說到。「像是一個獎項，或者，我不知道，像是選一天來紀念他？就像是在
賽季裡選一天，就說是David Stern日。我不知道，大家可以想想看。」
Stern died on Wednesday three weeks after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
Stern是在三星期前發生腦部出血，在這個星期三過世。
James also included Stern's name along side that of James Naismith, who
invented the game in 1891, as "two of the most important people for the game
of basketball."
LBJ把Stern跟在1891年發明籃球這項運動的James Naismith放在一塊，說這兩位是"籃球運
動裡最重要的人"。
"Obviously Dr. Naismith because he created the game and then David, his
vision," James said. "His vision to make this game global."
「很顯然的Dr. Naismith很重要，因為他發明了籃球，」LBJ說。「而David則是因為他的
眼界讓籃球成為全球化的運動。」
Stern may not have an award or day named after him yet, but it would not be
unusual for the NBA to honor him in this way, considering two other trophies
are named after two former league commissioners.
或許目前還沒有哪個獎項或是有哪一天是來紀念Stern的，不過看到目前有兩個獎項就是以
之前的聯盟主席名字命名來看，聯盟之後決定用這種方式來紀念Stern也就不會太意外了。
