Iman Shumpert: LeBron James “Knows He Ruined Basketball”
Iman Shumpert說：LBJ知道他"毀了籃球'
During a recent appearance on the “Bootleg Kev” podcast, former Cavs guard
Iman Shumpert admitted he believes LeBron James “ruined basketball.”
前騎士後衛Iman Shumpert最近上了一個PodCast節目"Bootleg Kev"，他在節目上承認，
他相信LBJ"毀了籃球"。
After the host suggested that Kevin Durant “ruined basketball” by jumping
from OKC to The Bay in 2016, Shumpert responded that LeBron was the one who
did it first.
Podcast節目主持人先暗示說是KD在2016年從雷霆跳槽到勇士毀了籃球，而Shumpert回
應LBJ是第一個做這種事情的。

“It wasn’t KD. It was LeBron first going to Miami,” Shumpert explained.
Adding, “[LeBron] knows he ruined basketball.”
「不是KD最先的，是LBJ去熱火起的頭，」Shumpert說。「LBJ知道他毀了籃球。」
“He thought he was making it better,” Shump continued. “I get it. Me
personally, I love the NBA for the loyalty that I thought was there. He
basically knocked the fourth wall down.”
「他想說他是讓籃球變好，」Shumpert說。「我都懂。但是我個人喜歡忠誠仍舊還在
的NBA聯盟。他基本上打破了那個界線。」
Shumpert, who won a ring with James’ Cavaliers in 2016, set NBA Twitter
ablaze with his comments. But, the former Knick defended himself on Tuesday.
Shumpert在2016與LBJ的騎士拿下一枚冠軍戒，他的評論讓NBA推特鄉民大爆發。但是，
這位前尼克球員在昨天捍衛他的論點。
One user said that superteams existed long before King James took his talents
to South Beach. To which Shumpert responded, “Find me the year the top
player left his throne and joined someone else?”
有一位鄉民說超大團在LBJ把他的天賦帶到南灘前就已經有了。對此，Shumpert的回覆
是，「找出一個球員離開他的王座然後跑去加入別人的？」
Explaining, “Closest thing was Shaq but Bigs have to pair up and Kobe was
the juice. [LeBron] had no need and had all the influence. I can debate this
all day.”
他更解釋，「最接近的例子會是Shaq，但是大個要配後衛，而Kobe是那個要角。LBJ不需
要，他也有全方面的影響力，我這個可以跟你戰一整天。」
Another user pointed out that LeBron tried to bring stars to Cleveland, but
nobody would come.
另外一個鄉民指出LBJ有試著找明星去騎士，但是沒人來。
“I totally get it,” Shumpert responded.
「我都懂，」Shumpert說。
“Which is why I said his decision worked. [LeBron] is smart for it I just
said I liked the other version of the league better.”
「所以我才說他的決定是成功的。LBJ很聰明的去做，所以我才說我比較喜歡另外一個
版本的聯盟。」
LeBron James certainly changed the dynamic of the NBA with his infamous
decision. Bringing forth the age of player empowerment. Love it or hate it,
the basketball landscape doesn’t appear to be changing any time soon.
LBJ因為那個舉世聞名的決定改變了聯盟生態，把球員賦權帶到檯面上。不管喜歡還是
討厭，目前的籃球生態似乎不會有很快的變化。
