You know why Isiah Thomas was a champion? He understood the importance of camaraderie and teamwork, as evidenced by his quote." Basketball is not played simp1y with X's and O's. It's played with both trust and confidence."

　　你知道为什么伊塞亚·托马斯能得总冠军么?他知道队友和团队的重要性，正如他的名言所说：“篮球不是简单的进球游戏，打球需要信任他人与自信。”(猜测o指进球，x指没进的球)

　　Hakeem Olajawon on comparing his responsibilities in basketball to his responsibilities as goalie in soccer, "in many ways, my job in soccer was like my job in basketball now. I had to protect the goal. That was the name of the game, not letting the other team score. "

　　哈基姆·奥拉朱旺比较他在篮球场的职责和他做足球守门员时的职责时说：“很多时候，做足球守门员和我在篮球场的工作是一样的。我就是要阻止对方进球，这就是我全部的工作。”

　　let me tell you why i love KG and what he stands for;the man can find a positive in any negative. "the beautiful things about when you go through a slide is that you learn from it. Not just saying that you learn from it, but app1ying the things that you have learned." he makes mistakes, he learns, he becomes an NBA champion. it;s not a bad model to follow.

　　让我告诉你为什么我爱加内特，他能在逆境中成长。“逆境的美妙之处在于你能够从中学习。不是说说而已，一定要落实到行动中，”他犯过错，他从中吸取教训，他赢得了总冠军。他是个好榜样。

　　Well, if you're just going to sit there, i'm going to teach, so pay attention. Basketball is all about awareness of what's going on around you; Larry Bird summed it up best."I always know what 's happening on the court. I see a situation occur, and i respond." Know youre next move, always have a plan.

　　好吧，如果你就愿意坐在那里，我要给你上课了，注意听。打球一定要注意观察周围。拉里·伯德总结得很好。“我总是能知道场上发生的一切，我看到机会，就抓住它。”你要知道你下一步改怎么做，必须提前有个疾患。

　　When it comes to Magic Johnson, man, James Worthy said it best,"I dont't think there will ever be another 6'9 point guard who smiles while he humiliates you"

　　当谈到魔术师约翰逊时，詹姆斯·沃西这么说：”我不认为将来会有第二个6尺9寸的控卫能微笑着羞辱你。“

　　My man Magic Johnson at Larry Bird's retirement party."Larry, you only told me one lie. You said there will be another Larry Bird. Larry, there will never, ever be another Larry Bird."

　　我的偶像魔术师约翰逊在拉里伯德的退役仪式上说：”拉里，你这辈子就骗了我一次。你说还会有第二个拉里·伯德，但是拉里，以后永远，永远不会出现另一个拉里·伯德。“(当相互竞争了一辈子的敌人兼好友要永远地离开赛场时，魔术师对英雄相惜的大鸟说出的的一句话让所有人动容。)

　　So much of basketball is about having confidence. In the locker room before the first ever 3-point contest. Larry Bird walks in and says,"So, which one of you guys is going to in second?" Hah, that gets me every time.

　　自信是成功的重要因素。就在第一届三分球大赛前，拉里·伯德走进更衣室说：”那么，你们中的哪一个是我的下一个对手?“(霸气!)哈，每想起这句话我都为之折服。

　　在伯德的退役仪式上，已经退役的约翰逊穿着湖人队服跑去搅基，我摘录几条经典的，其实每一句都很经典，我挑出最经典的。

　　Bird:and, i dont think i would ever achieved that if i dont have some body always looking out, and see what i was doing every night, i know he was watching me because i was watching him! im sure what he was doing every night......but magic, there is one thing. we can agree on retiring now right?

　　magic:right.

　　Bird: you probably will never back again?

　　Magic:no

　　Bird:but, i want to ask you, will you get the hell out of my dreams?

　　伯德：如果不是有人每晚都注意看我，观察我每晚都是怎么做的，我连一个总冠军都得不到。我知道他在看我，因为我也在看他。我很确信这一点。。(跳过一些)。。但是，魔术师，我们确定退役了是吧?

　　魔术师：是的

　　伯德：你以后可能再也不会复出是吧?

　　魔术师：不会

　　伯德：那么我就请求你：你丫不要再在我梦中出现了!(暗示即使睡着伯德和约翰逊也还在竞争着...)
