wishes Bryant hadn't chosen to announce retirement so early

"I'm not a big fan of the sort of farewell tours,"

"I like the guys who walk away at the end of the season and say,
'I'm done.'"

Danny Ainge 在美國時間週四的一檔節目中接受採訪時表示，
他不喜歡告別巡演的方式，

“我喜歡球員們在賽季結束時決定離開，並說：‘我（的職業生涯）結束了。’”

Ainge did have some compliments for Bryant, saying he would put the
legend "in the discussion" for being one the top-10 players ever.

同時他表示會把 Kobe 放入歷史前十大球員的討論中。

The hosts ended the interview with the question,
"If you could go back in time, would you have picked Kobe Bryant or
Tim Duncan if you had to draft a team?"

Without any explanation, Ainge replied, "Tim Duncan."

最後提問若回到90年代選秀會上，會選擇 Kobe Bryant or Tim Duncan?

Ainge 毫不猶豫地回答：“Tim Duncan。”







Next LeBron James? Ben Simmons looks ready to grow into the role

Simmons said he stopped being awestruck of NBA players when he met
and played against his idol, James, while participating in the All-Star's
skills academy in 2014. Simmons said he and James often talk regularly
on the phone.

"I just get a lot of advice from him," Simmons told Yahoo Sports.
"He's like a big brother to me.

"I try to take care of my own stuff. But if I have something I really
need help with I definitely talk to him. If I need him, I give him a call."

Ben Simmons 表示2014年曾在All-Star's skills academy與 LeBron James 交手，
此後便與 James 保持聯繫，

“我從他那裡得到了很多建議，他就像大哥哥一樣對待我。”

“我一直努力自己解決自己的問題，但是，如果我有事情真的需要幫助，
我會跟他談論，如果我需要他，那麼我就會給他打個電話。”
