Dominique Wilkins on Kobe Bryant: 'He's the last of the Mohicans'

Dominique Wilkins 談 Kobe Bryant: '他是最後的莫希干族人'

注：The Last of the Mohicans 是1992年一部電影的片名，中文叫做大地英豪。


“He was a wonderful ambassador for our league,” Wilkins told Sporting News.
“You can love him or hate him, because of his competitive nature, but I will
say this — he is the last of the Mohicans. Now with him retired, our era is
officially over.”

他是我們聯盟的一位優秀的大使，基於他的競爭天性，你可以愛他或恨他，

但我會說─他是最後的莫希干族人。眼下他將退休，我們的時代正式結束了。

“I told him when I saw him, what he has done in this league won’t be
duplicated because the game has changed,” Wilkins said. “You won’t see
another player like that again. In terms of competitiveness, the style of
play, playing the game at a very high level. You don’t see that kind of guy
very often, and I think the way the game is now, you won’t see it again.”

我看到他之後曾告訴他，他在聯盟中做的一切不會被人複製，因為比賽已經改變了。

你不會再看到另一位這樣的球員了，不管是競爭性、球風或比賽的高水準。

你不常看到這樣的球員，並且我認為現在的比賽方式使得我們不會再看到這樣的球員了。


(講Wilkins在1999年發現自己有糖尿病)

“I was shocked, it was shock and disbelief and there was a denial stage,”
Wilkins said. “But that denial stage only lasted for a very short time
because I decided to do something about it. I decided I needed to start
exercising, changing my diet, taking medication — I lost 34 pounds in
two-and-a-half months. I have been managing it ever since then. When you are
in great shape, diabetes is very hard to detect. So I did not know I had it.
People ask me all the time if I could have played longer, and I probably
could have played another two or three years if I wanted to because I was in
great shape. So I did not know I had diabetes.”

我很震驚，有一段時間的震驚和不可置信，一段不肯面對現實的時期。

但那個時期很短，因為我決定要有所改善，我決定我要開始運動，改善飲食，吃藥，

我在兩個半月內掉了34磅，並且到現在都還在控制。

當你身體比較苗條，糖尿病就很難被發現了，所以我一開始並不知道我有疾病。

人們總是問我是否有可能多打幾年，而我確實有可能多打兩三年因為我身材不錯，

也因此我當時並不知道我有糖尿病。

“I do feel I have a responsibility to spread that message,” Wilkins said. “
It is when you stop working out and stop being in great shape, that is when
you find out that you have problems. That is what happened to me, I stopped
training, I stopped working out and I figured out like every other patient
with diabetes that I needed treatment and help.”

我覺得我有責任去告訴大家，那是當你停止工作且沒有維持身材，

當你發現你有了問題。那就是我發生的事情，我停止訓練和工作，

然後就如其他的糖尿病患我也理解到我需要治療和幫助。

“He might be in great shape,” Wilkins said. “But starting now, he is just
another old guy like me.”

他(Kobe)可能維持很好的身材，但是從現在開始，他就和我一樣是個老人了。


心得：

一個時代的終結。
