Dirk Nowitzki On Players Forcing Trades: 'It's Not the Way to Go'
https://reurl.cc/mGA0GW
Dirk上Podcast受訪談到現在NBA球星的吹密風氣
“It's definitely new,” Nowitzki said on SI’s Crossover podcast. “We always
felt like we the players didn't have enough power at the beginning of my care
er (in 1998), and the owners had all the power, could make all the moves. Andn
ow it’s almost shifting like a little bit too much. I think there should be l
ike a happy medium. But now the players forcing themselves out, to me is not t
he way to go, either.”
Dirk：這絕對是新的事物，在我職業生涯剛開始時（1998年），我們總覺得球員沒有足夠
的權力，老闆則擁有所有權力，可以做任何他們想要的事，不過現在這種權力的轉移感覺
有些過頭了。我認為應該有一個折衷的辦法，現在的球員老是強迫球隊將自己交易，在我
看來這是不太好的。
“I was old school,” Nowitzki said on the podcast. “I don't want to sit here
and judge these guys that that are doing that. I think everybody has to know
what's best for themselves, for their career, for their brand—you know, every
body has a brand now— and what's best for their family. For me, it was stayin
g in Dallas. It worked out great there. And I've had my family there and I lov
ed it and I grew into that community. So that's something that just worked for
me. But of course, I get it. It's not for everybody.”
而談到過去五年總共有11次球星吹密，包括哈登和跑喬各2次，其他還有西門、可愛、AD
、KI、吉巴、龜龜、牆哥。
Dirk： 我是個老派的人，我不想坐在這裡對你提到的這些人評頭論足，我認為每個人都
必須知道什麼是對他們自己、對他們的事業和品牌最好的選擇。你知道，現在每個人都有
自己的品牌。然後為家庭做最好的選擇也很重要。對我來說，最重要的事就是留在達拉斯
。我在那打得很不錯，我的家人全在那裡，我也在那個社區中成長。我愛達拉斯，留下對
我來說是很重要的。當然，我明白，這種想法並不適合所有人。
“At the end of my career, I could have maybe tried somewhere else to get that
ring,” Nowitzki said. “I think that would have been really the only reason
for me to leave. But for me, Dallas was the place. The people have supported m
e from the beginning, even when things weren't going right for me in my first
year.”
在我職業生涯的末期，我本可以去其他球隊得到一枚總冠軍戒指。我想這是我有可能離開
達拉斯的唯一原因，但對我來說，達拉斯是那個獨特的地方，那裡的人從我生涯剛開始就
不斷支持我，即便我在新秀年打得並不好。
