Who are you, and what did you do with Kobe?
We all know Kobe as being the man with ice water in his veins, the player that wants to rip your heart out, and wants the ball down 1 with seconds to play.
Kobe wasn’t nervous when he was just 18 years old shooting potential game winners for the Lakers as a rookie. Even after air balling a few, he never got nervous or anxious, he just kept shooting.
When Shaq left town, most people would be nervous, it was now Kobe’s team and all praise and criticism would rest on his shoulders, yet nothing, cool as the other side of the pillow.
Kobe is always cool, calm, and collective. Nothing ever worries him; he lets nothing get in his head, and always is up for the challenge. Showing the world that I have been here before, and I have no problem taking the final shot, have no problem being the guy everybody will criticize if the team does bad, and have no problem being boo’ed in Game 1 of the season because I asked to be traded.
However, Tuesday at 2:30PM Pacific Time, Kobe was nervous.
For the first time as a diehard Kobe fan, I saw him anxious, edgy, and even frightened.
Kobe didn’t realize that people were going to ask him questions at a news conference; Stu Lantz had to reiterate that to him. Kobe accepted the MVP and then awkwardly walked away.
Come on Kobe this isn’t the academy awards, this is a press conference; all those reporters out there are there to ask you questions!
So, Stu told Kobe, “the reporters are going to ask you questions”, and then KB24 walked right passed the mic, asking, “Where do I stand?”
Then he finally was directed to the podium, with his hands on each side, tapping his fingers rapidly.
Then the words we have never heard came out, “I’ve never been here before, I’m nervous”
That may not be a shock to some Lakers fans, but it is to me. Kobe Bryant, nervous?
A man that always answers questions perfectly, with intelligence and etiquette, A man that is always all business. Actually had no idea how to act, the man that has ice water in his veins, didn’t know how to accept the MVP.
The reason, was because it was the one thing Kobe had no control over. No matter how hard he worked or how much he wanted it, there was no guarantee that he would ever win a MVP.
Although Kobe will not say it publicly, Kobe Bryant wants to be known as the best basketball player to ever play. Yet, there’s no way he could ever be considered for that title, if he never won an MVP.
MJ, Bird, Magic, Wilt, Kareem, Dr. J…Yup, all MVP’s at one point.
Well Kobe is now in that class, and when it’s all said and done, Kobe can now potentially be known as the greatest player that has ever played the game.
Congratulations, Kobe!
译文
我们都知道科比是那种只要在场上就能给人希望,只要他在场就会努力去拼,只要他在场就随时能点燃观众激情的人。
12年前,他参加他首场季后赛演出时他没有紧张;身为新秀的他投出关键球时他没有紧张;连续投了n个空气球后他依然没有紧张和焦躁不安,有的只是仍然执著的出手。
当大鲨鱼离开的时候,几乎所有人都感到紧张。湖人总算变成科比一人的湖人了,未来的日子里,他将独自扛起紫金王朝复兴的大旗,湖人的胜败荣辱会都聚集在这个男人身上。他可能享受荣耀,他可能承受批评,他必须肩负重任。他有可能成为史上最伟大的球员,也有可能身败名裂。虽然压力巨大,他仍然冷静执著。
科比总是那么酷,那么冷静,那么备受关注。没什么能影响他;没什么能真正让他担心挂念。他心无旁骛,他总是勇于接受挑战。
他想要向全世界宣告:
能带领球队重新登顶?没问题!
帮助湖人王朝重现辉煌?没问题!
最后一投?没问题!
在球队表现差的时候站出来承受失败接受批评?没问题!
因为说出了想要被交易的言论以至于在赛季揭幕战被球迷狂嘘?没问题,我接受!
你知道么,洛杉矶时间5月6日的下午2时30分,这个被认为无所畏惧的男人——科比布莱恩特,他紧张了。
这是我——一个狂热的科比球迷,头一次看见我的偶像这样,他有些紧张,有些急躁,有些不安,甚至是有些害怕。
科比并没有意识到他在领奖之后还要接受媒体的采访;Stu Lantz(MVP颁奖新闻发布会的主持)又告诉他了一遍。他差点就抱着奖杯直接回家了。
拜托啊科比!这可不是什么学术奖项的颁奖,这是新闻发布会,那些记者来可不是为了找几张相的,他们还要问你问题啊!
当时,Stu告诉科比,“记者们还要问你几个问题”,然后科比有些迟疑的走向麦克风,甚至还嘀咕了一句:“我该站哪啊?”
他终于站定了,站在高高的演讲台上,用两手撑着,手指还迅速的敲击桌面。
然后他说出了一些我们从未听过甚至从来没想过会从他的嘴里说出的话:“我以前从未到过这里,我现在很紧张。”
这对一些湖人球迷们可能没什么,不过对我来说,科比,紧张??
这个男人总能完美的回答问题,这个男人总是礼数周全彬彬有礼,这个男人总是充满智慧,这个男人深谙在镜头前表现之道。在这个时刻,这个几乎可以称为是冷血的男人,他居然紧张了?他竟然不知道如何去接受MVP奖杯。
这可能是科比唯一无法控制掌握的事情了。这可不是靠单纯的努力训练或是有多么多么强烈的愿望就能克服的,因为从来没有谁能保证说他肯定能得MVP。
虽然科比可能永远不会把他的愿望公诸于世,不过所有人都清楚,他想要成为球场上,甚至历史上最伟大的运动员。是的,如果没有MVP,再拿多少个冠军都没有意义。
那些伟大的名字,乔丹,大鸟,魔术师,张伯伦,天勾们,他们荣誉栏中都有MVP的字样。
现在科比也加入他们的阵营了,他也总算能够名正言顺的争夺历史最伟大球员的称号了。或许多年以后,往事显得模糊不清的时候,他能够告诉他的子孙,他,科比布莱恩特,是NBA最伟大的球员。The greatest player ever.
恭喜你,亲爱的科比布莱恩特先生。

我这里有一首歌
Uh, what I live for? Basketball, beats and broads
From Italy to the US, yes, it“s raw
I“ma search for the one that make my wealth feel
poor
Who can ignore the spotlight life of Grandma
My falldown is how I found the aura, so I searched
in
There“s plenty of women with sex appeal when it“s
filled
Can even complete the package, all I date is
actresses
Can play it safe with them, my money ain“t bait
But I must take risks to find a honey that“s legit
Whether she push a buck and a six, bumpin“ some
mad chips
Out on her own, or live out of moms and pop“s
home
Watch time, fashion, Adidas attire or Timbo“s
I don“t know, yo, these women come and go
Like the wind they blow, how do I know it“s you for
sure?
When God talk to me, give me a signal
But until then, all my ears hear, just let me flow
C“mon
[Tyra]
K-O-B-E, I L-O-V-E you
I believe you are very fine
If you give me one chance, I promise to love you
And be with you forever more
[Kobe]
Check this out though
Real love last, now do you love me or my cash?
My name, fame, drop top, Benz or the wooden
dash?
You know my stash, from Georgie cash
Platinum, US express, no paper cash
Spend it all now, or kiss to be rich cash
Hash, stocks and bonds, laugh when they crash
Are you the type that brag the jewels you flash
The type-type with your ex-man and push his Jag
The type that love no scrubs or pigeons and got
mad
The type that can“t stand a women with her own
cash
You know, like lime, claim she ain“t rat
The type that get loud in public, refrain my hand
from a slap
No time for y“all, too busy for y“all
Plenty of dimes turn me on and turn me off tryin“
to show off
Get lost, grow up, real women, roll up
Let yourself go, if you feel this, let me know
C“mon
[Tyra]
K-O-B-E, I L-O-V-E you
[Kobe]
Bounce wit“ me, bounce wit“ me
[Tyra]
K-O-B-E, I L-O-V-E you
[Kobe]
Right, right, uh, uh, uh
Think ya eyein“ me, all along, I“m eyein“ you
The hunter becomes the hunted, girl, I“m preying
on you
Beautiful, the feelings we share are mutual
Passion that“s telling me so for us is suitable
Uncontrollable desire flows through me
When you say my name, such lust in your slang
No time for games, the games I play, all the same
Can“t get witcha, Don“t let the door hitcha, where
the Lord splitcha
I figure, hour-glass figures could be dangerous
Cuz if your time runs out, they frame you for your
clout
And having a past, well, I stereotype glass
All dimes ain“t money, ass, and feignin“ for a
brother“s cash
Slash fame, slash power, slash respect
All the above, makes me a supreme threat to
scrubs
Love but do you want? One more “gain, let me
know
The words flow, from the bottom of your soul
C“mon
It“s like that
Right
KB
TB
Flawless
Like that, spit it out
希望你喜欢
