魔術強森談辭職：沒實權，有些人想當GM
After his playing career, Magic Johnson was at one point the president of basket
ball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving the team in 2019. On a recen
t episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, Magic Johnson admitted that former Lake
rs coach Luke Walton was the reason he left his position with the team. (58:20)
在魔術強森的職業生涯結束後，他一度在洛杉磯湖人隊擔任GM，並於2019年離開球隊。在最
近一期的播客節目中，魔術強森承認前湖人總教練Walton是他離開球隊的原因。
Shannon Sharpe: Why did you step down (from the Lakers)?
主持人：你為什麼離開湖人？
Magic Johnson: "It's just I had to, I, I thought I had the power to do what I wa
nted to do.
"I wanted to fire Luke Walton."
魔術強森：我不得不辭職，我以為我有能力做我想做的事。我想炒掉Walton。
Shannon Sharpe: You didn't feel that he was capable of doing the job?
主持人：你不認為Walton有能力勝任這份工作？
Magic Johnson: "Oh, I knew he wasn't. And so I said, ‘Hey, we’ve got to let hi
m go. He's not the right guy; he is not a great coach for the Laker team.’ And
they wanted to keep him. So, I said, ‘okay.’ I already knew that I didn't want
to fracture the great relationship I had with Jeanie Buss, because that's my si
ster. So, and instead of me sitting there - and I can never be this dude that ju
st sits and not says what's on my mind - I said, ‘let me just exit. It's going
to be best for everybody.’
魔術強森：我知道他不能勝任。所以我說「我們必須解僱他，他不是適合湖人的好教練。」
然後他們想要留下他，所以我說「那好吧。」我不想破壞我與珍妮的良好關係，因為她就像
是我的妹妹。所以，我沒有繼續待在那裡，我不可能成為坐在那個位置上但不能說出自己想
法的人。所以我說「讓我走吧，這對每個人都好。」
"I felt some dudes wanted to be in the seat that I had. So, hey, you let 'em hav
e it. You go ahead, you can have it, I'm out. And Jeanie and I are still great f
riends, so it was the best move and I'm glad I did it.
魔術強森：我覺得有些人想坐我的位置。所以，你就讓他們當吧。你們開始吧，你們可以拿
到GM的位置，我走了。珍妮和我仍然是好朋友，所以這是最好的方式，我很高興我這樣做了
。
Usually, the president of basketball operations gets full reign on hiring/firing
a coach. It is easy to see why Magic Johnson wanted to leave the Los Angeles La
kers, as Luke Walton clearly didn't fit his vision of what a good coach looks li
ke.
通常，GM全權負責聘請/解僱教練。魔術強森想要離開洛杉磯湖人隊的原因很容易理解，因
為Walton顯然不符合他心目中一個好教練的樣子。
