Title: Kobe Bryant: One of the Top Five NBA Players of All-Time
Author: By Ethan S (Member) on August 3, 2010



                            科比-布莱恩特:无论时代变迁,联盟中最闪耀的巨星

                                    


Kobe Bryant may be one of the most polarizing NBA players in the history of the association. People either seem to respect him or loathe him.
在NBA联盟中,科比-布莱恩特算是最偏执己见的了。两种极端,人们要不爱他至深,要不恨之入骨。

Yet, consider a player who has been called selfish by the media and teammates. A player who once punched a teammate because he wasn’t playing hard enough in practice, and was almost suspended by the league for gambling. This same player who recently gave one of the most arrogant Hall of Fame speeches ever delivered and settled a large divorce settlement because of being unfaithful to his wife on multiple occasions. As you may have guessed, the player being referenced is Michael Jordan.
好好考虑下那些被媒体和队友称作是自私的人吧。曾经有一名球员,因为队友没有全身心地投入训练就恶意挥肘,还因赌博一事差点被联盟驱除门外。这名球员近期还在名人纪念馆前自大地发表演说,也因性丑闻,对妻子不忠草率离婚。正如你们所猜,他就是迈克尔-乔丹。

The difference is that the hatred today shown towards Kobe Bryant marks a double standard that it is not accorded in the same manner to Jordan, a man who has a worse off-the-court record.
区别在于,今天人们对科比所体现的仇恨,完全是另外一个标准。他没有得到和乔丹相同的待遇,乔丹的境遇比他好的多。

Or consider Larry Bird who refuses to recognize a daughter from his first marriage. Everyone loves Magic Johnson, even though his infidelity on countless occasions led to him testing positive for HIV.
回想一下大鸟伯德吧,他拒绝承认首婚所遗留的女儿。人人都爱魔术师约翰逊,他却屡次婚外情,最后还染上艾滋。

In order to make a fair comparison between basketball players, we need to throw out these double standards and personal biases and only judge them by what they do on the court.
为了客观评价球员,我们要撇开这些双重标准和私人的偏见,根据他们的场上表现,给出正确地评判。

This article’s intent is not to say Kobe Bryant is the greatest of all-time but rather argue that it is near impossible to pick 5 other players that have been better over their careers. In the end, the best way to compare players is based on their overall game, including all aspects of playing, and their ability to win. Hence, in this analysis, players that could not find a way to lead teams to multiple championships or otherwise had considerable weaknesses in major parts of their game will be negatively impacted.
我写这篇文章的目的不在于说科比-布莱恩特是历史上最伟大的球员,只是想说很难挑选出比这5名更优秀的球员了。最后,最好的办法无疑是纵观他们所有的比赛,包括各个方面的技巧和取胜的能力。因此,这样分析的话,不能找到合理的方式率领球队加冕或卫冕,或是一到重要比赛就暴露缺陷的球员,会被消极地否定。

First, consider the list of players that have won at least 5 championships and 2 Finals MVPs. This list includes just 4 players: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kobe Bryant. Michael, of course, excelled at nearly every facet of the game.  Magic was probably the best playmaker in NBA history and was able to shine at all 5 positions on the floor. Kareem is the league’s all-time scorer whose consistent hook shot was the most unstoppable shot. While most people consider these 3 players to be in the top 5 of all-time, Kobe’s game merits an inclusion with them.
首先,以下球员都至少获得5个总冠军,2个总决赛的MVP。以下球员纷纷上榜:迈克尔-乔丹,魔术师约翰逊,卡里姆-阿尔杜尔-贾巴尔,还有科比-布莱恩特。当然,无论是什么方面,乔丹都很擅长。魔术师或许是NBA历史上组织进攻方面最伟大的球员了,他5个位置都能打。贾巴尔则一直是个好的得分者,他的勾手投篮无懈可击,大部分人都认定无论时代变迁,这三人都是最顶级的5名之一,当然这其中包括科比。

Scoring
得分

Scoring is the most important part of the game. Everyone knows that Kobe is one of the top scorers of all-time, but critics compare his scoring average to other legends. Let’s put Kobe on a fair comparison with Michael Jordan. Michael spent 3 years in one of the top college programs. Take away Kobe’s first 3 years and Bryant’s averages look eerily similar to Jordan’s: 28.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg, and 5.2 apg. That scoring average would put him in third place behind Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. Now imagine if Kobe entered the league as “the man” on his team as did Jordan. Doing this makes it easy to figure that Kobe’s average would probably be north of the 30 point mark.
分数是比赛的核心。众所周知,无论何时科比都是个顶级的得分手,但外界总是拿他的数据和其他传奇人物相比较。让我们客观地看科比VS乔丹吧。乔帮主在大学联盟里打了三年。撇开科比职业生涯的前3年不算,科比和乔丹的数据惊人的相似:场均28.1分,5.8个篮板。5。2个助攻。这个数据只位居乔丹和张伯伦之后。想象一下如果科比刚进入联盟时,就像乔丹在队伍中称雄,场均30分完全不在话下。

Then consider Kobe outscoring the Dallas Mavericks 62-61 through 3 quarters on December 20, 2005—a feat that has never been done before. There is also the monster 81 point game he poured on the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006. Forget Wilt’s 100 point game. This is the most impressive scoring feat ever in the NBA for a few reasons. First, Kobe scored 51 of the points in leading LA back from a deficit of 18 points in the second half.  This wasn’t a meaningless attempt to get him a record on the part of his teammates when the win was already decided in the first half, unlike Wilt’s game.
2005年12月20号,湖人对阵达拉斯小牛时,前三节科比独得62分,小牛全队不过61分,这是NBA从未有过的战绩。2006年1月22号,在对阵多伦多猛龙时,他又疯狂砍下81分。忘记张伯伦的单场百分把。科比的精彩演出才是近赛季最令人映像深刻的。首先,在湖人落后15分的情况下,科比下半场独得51分,带领湖人拿下比赛。这场比赛很有意义,不像是张伯伦的比赛,上半场就已锁定胜局。

Second, the ways Kobe scored (check out the YouTube videos breaking down this game) was much more impressive than Wilt’s repertoire, which consisted mainly of shots 5 feet from the rim, including finger rolls over shorter players and dunks.  Even Jordan’s 69 point game was not nearly as impressive as he needed overtime to get to that total. Nevertheless, along with Jordan, it is easy to consider Kobe as the greatest scorer ever.
其次,科比得分比张伯伦更多样化,包括中投,低手上篮,还有暴扣。乔丹加时得到的69分也不能和科比相媲美。不过,和乔丹相比的话,就很容易把科比定格为史上最好的得分手。

Rebounding and Playmaking
抢篮板球和组织进攻

Like Jordan, Kobe has been one of the premier rebounders and playmakers at his position, posting similar career numbers. Over the past decade, it’s no coincidence that he has led the Lakers in assists every year.
和乔丹相似,科比也是他位置上抢篮板和组织进攻最多的球员,他们职业生涯数据大差不离。在过去的数10年里,毫无疑问,他都奉献了大量的助攻。

Defense
防守

Bryant has been named to the All-NBA Defensive team 10 times in his career, including 8 times on the first team. The only other players that can match these numbers are Scottie Pippen and Tim Duncan. Gary Payton and Michael Jordan can also be considered, each making the team 9 times all being on the first team. Unlike Pippen and Payton, Kobe has proven to be a more potent scorer and has led his team to championships. Similar to Duncan and Jordan, Bryant has been able to inspire other teammates to play hard on defense. It’s of particular note that Lebron James accredited turning around his defensive abilities to studying Bryant on the 2008 Olympic squad.
在科比的职业生涯中,他已10次入选全明星最佳防守阵容了,其中8次是第一阵容。其他能和科比相提并论的球员,估计只有皮蓬和邓肯了。佩顿和乔丹也能被列入考虑范围,他们均9次入选最佳第一阵容。跟皮蓬和佩顿不同的是,科比还是个好的得分手,能够带领队伍闯进总决赛,拿下冠军。和邓肯,乔丹一样,科比能够激励队友,打出强硬的防守。特别要指出的是,勒布朗-詹姆斯在08年奥运梦之队的时候,还特地向科比请教,虚心讨论科比的防守技巧。

In comparison to other all-time greats, this is one area that separates Kobe from players like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Oscar Robertson. In his ability to shut-down the best players on opposing teams, Kobe Bryant has to be considered one of the best defenders of all-time.
和不同时期最伟大的球员相比,这是个区别科比和像魔术师约翰逊,大鸟伯德,奥斯卡-罗宾逊此类球员的领域。每每和其他队伍争锋,科比-布莱恩特都一直被首肯为最佳防守者。

Clutch
至胜入球

NBA pundits like Bill Simmons are quick to let their Kobe hatred show by pointing out Kobe’s 6-24 shooting performance in game 7 of this year’s Finals, while conveniently forgetting about key playmaking, pulling down 15 huge rebounds, and shutting down the Celtic’s best player in Rajon Rondo. Even more telling is the double standard applied to Kobe. Magic and Bird had their fair share of playoff lapses in key Finals games. In addition, Jordan had a closeout game of 14 points against the Celtics in 1986 (including 4 points in the second half), and another in the Finals shooting 5-19. Everyone remembers him hitting the game winner in 1998 to close out Utah, but few remember that Jordan missed 20 shots in that game and only had a total of 1 rebound and 1 assist. Every superstar has bad games, even in deciding games. The difference is that the best players find a way to will their team to victory.
像比尔-西蒙斯那样的NBA评论员就喜欢拿抢七大战中科比24投中6的命中率说事儿,他们似乎故意忽视科比关键时刻的几个进球,15个篮板,还有迫使凯尔特人最好球员拉简-隆多丢球的出色表现。对于科比,人们总是加倍地要求。魔术师和大鸟公平摊分了输掉总决赛关键场的过失。额外,在1986年对阵凯尔特人的时候,乔丹也仅有可怜的14分入账(还包括下半场得到的四分),其他的一场总决赛,命中率也只是19投5中。没有人会忘记他98赛季打败爵士,夺得总冠军的那一幕吧,但是人们似乎都忘记了那场比赛中乔丹投失了20个球,仅有1个篮板和1个助攻入账。只要是巨星,就会有比赛惨淡的时刻,甚至是一些决定性的比赛。区别就在于伟大的球员会寻找新的方式,帮助球队取得胜利。

Additionally, there’s a reason that in each of the past few years, over 90% of NBA GMs have declared Kobe to be the best clutch player. With Kobe hitting 7 game winners last season, he only gave further justification to these opinions. But the telling moment was in the gold medal game of the 2008 Olympics. When Spain was threatening to steal the gold medal from Team USA, it was Bryant who stepped up and made the clutch plays in the second half to lead the team to victory. It doesn’t matter what some stats sites say; it is more telling that on a team with other clutch superstars such as Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Lebron James, Kobe was the one who stepped up.  
此外,在过去这些年还有一个推理,NBA中超过90%开通用的都宣称科比是关键先生(额,拙见,有关系么)。上赛季科比7次绝杀(我印象里咋六次),他用事实塞住了某些人的嘴。但是最激动人心的还是08年奥运会获得金牌的时刻。当西班牙加紧进攻,就要从美国队手中偷走冠军的时候,是科比站了出来,在下半场连续投出致命球,帮助球队最终夺冠。一些数据统计的网站说什么不重要,关键是在其他巨星,卡梅罗-安东尼,德维恩-韦德,勒布朗-詹姆斯都在场的时候,是科比站了出来,投出关建球。

MVPs
MVP数目之比较

Another criticism by NBA pundits has been the fact that Kobe has only won 1 MVP award. This argument might have merit if the award always went to the top player in the league each year. However, it is in fact awarded to the top player on a team with one of the best records. Everyone knows this to be the case when players like Dirk Nowitzki won the award, and Steve Nash won it twice. Since the 2002-2003 season, one can argue that Kobe has been the best all-around player in the league and consequently could have won the award any of those years.
NBA权威人士曾指出科比只有一个总决赛MVP的殊荣(我kao,作者凹凸了)。要是每年这个奖项都颁给联盟中最好的球员,这个争议才有些价值。然而事实却是,所谓的MVP只属于总决赛冠军赢家得分最多的球员。大家都还记得诺维茨基和史蒂夫纳的2个MVP吧。自从02-03赛季,人们就纷纷议论,科比才是联盟最全面的球员,这样算的话,科比年年都是MVP。

The Intangibles and Addressing Other Criticisms
默默努力的背后却饱受争议

As one of the hardest workers in the game with a legendary conditioning routine, Kobe has lasted in the league longer than many of the all-time legends. His footwork and mid-range game may be the best ever next to Jordan. Compared to Magic and Jordan, Kobe has proven to be a better outside shooter, evidenced by hitting multiple 3 point game winners and holding the NBA record for most 3 pointers made in a game (12).
旨在创造传奇的科比,每天都埋头苦练,他的神话一直广为流传。出色的步法和中投,可以和乔丹比肩。身为三分花样大赛的冠军,到NBA三分球单场中12的保持者,外线方面来说,他甚至比魔术师和乔丹更优秀。

Perhaps it is Bryant’s willingness to learn from others that sets him apart. By studying moves such as Olajuwon’s “Dream Shake”, Kobe has one of the best post up games, which has helped him to be just the third guard in league history to dominate the league over multiple seasons (along with Jordan and Magic).
或许是科比的谦虚请教使他脱颖而出。通过学习奥拉朱旺的“梦幻大挪移”,科比掌握了低位单打,这一技巧使得他在漫漫赛季中仍获第三宝座,是历史上长期统治联盟的后卫(尾随乔丹和魔术师)。

Some NBA pundits are quick to point out that Kobe played second fiddle to Shaq during the first 3 championship runs, but this is not entirely accurate. While Shaq was the clear leader in 2000, he never would have come close to winning without Kobe.  In 2001 and 2002, Kobe was more like an option 1A (think of him playing Magic Johnson along with Jordan versus playing Pippen). This can be seen by his all-around brilliant play in the 2001 playoffs with Jordan-like averages of 29.4 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 6.1 apg.
NBA某些专家曾讽刺科比之前的三个冠军都是抱大鲨鱼大腿得来的,充其量也就是个配角。这一说法,似乎尚缺稳妥。就算大鲨鱼是2000赛季球队的领袖,没有科比的帮忙,冠军,他想都别想。01和02赛季的科比,或许才是球队的老大吧(从他和魔术师的联手不禁令人回想乔丹和皮蓬)。看看他01赛季季后赛的数据吧,场均29.4分,7.3个篮板,6.1个助攻,全面地直指乔丹。

Fact is, Kobe Bryant is a proven winner. The only season he didn't make the playoffs in 2004-2005 was a rebuilding year for the Lakers, where their second best player was an inconsistent Lamar Odom. Odom missed 18 games and LA was still in a position to make the playoffs until Kobe went down with an injury during the last 15 games.
事实上,科比已经证明他就是冠军,就是MVP。唯一么有打进季后赛的04-05赛季,是湖人重组的那个赛季,他们的二把手竟是一贯神游的奥多姆。在奥多姆连续错过18场球赛后,湖人仍有实力挺进季后赛。直到科比在最后15场比赛中严重受伤,湖人才止步。

Over the past few years, Kobe has shined despite playing with bad ankles, knees, and broken fingers, including the index finger on his shooting hand. These nagging injuries are things that Jordan never had to deal with. Kobe should be given credit for continuing to dominate despite having some serious injuries.
在过去的几年,不是脚踝,膝盖,弯曲的手指,以及他用来投球的食指的影响,科比一直光芒四射。这些恼人的伤病,乔丹从未遇过。尽管伤痕累累,纵观全场,科比仍能驾驭比赛。

The Ability to Play in Any Era
无论时代,球技都游刃有余

Comparing players of different generations is difficult at best. However, some facts are undisputable.  Back in the 1960s, players were shorter, smaller, and less athletic. With no 3-point line, the object of the game was to get a shot as close to the basket as possible.  With shorter shots, less defense, and higher scoring games, centers were able to dominate to a greater extent. This is why the rebounding numbers were higher across the board then, and why even the best rebounders today only get around 12-14 per game.
比较不同年代的巨星最令人头疼了。然而,有些事实是毋庸置疑的。追溯到上世纪60年代,球员没有惊人的身高,强壮的体魄,打起球来,也少了几分热情。么有所谓的三分线,在场上无非就是尽量靠近篮筐,把球扔进去。因为射手身高的缺陷,加之防守的漏洞,很大程度上都是中锋统治全场比赛。这很好地阐明了为什么当时篮板数如此之高,和现今就算是最好的中锋场均篮板数也只有12-14个。

While players like Bird, Jordan, Magic, and Kobe could have played well back in the early decades of the NBA, it is unlikely that Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain would have dominated in the same way today. For being taller than many early centers and with superior athletic ability, Russell had a mediocre offensive game with horrible field goal and free throw percentages. He is the game’s greatest winner, but he also had a team full of Hall of Famers that clearly outmatched any other team. At 6-9 and 230 pounds, he would be a power forward at best today and would be challenged to not foul out against players such as Shaq in his prime. Today, he might be considered a superior version of Ben Wallace.
假设诸如大鸟,乔丹,魔术师,和科比都能够回归NBA早年,那么拉塞尔和张伯伦就无法像原先那样统治比赛了。中锋中最抢眼的身高,连同卓越的运动本能,每一场平淡无奇的比赛,拉塞尔都会上演好戏,疯狂砍分的同时,命中率也高的惊人。他是比赛最大的赢家,球队也是才人才辈出,整体实力凌驾于众球队之上。身高6尺九,体重230磅,这比例,如今也会是最好的大前锋,但冲动可能会让他像大鲨鱼的早期一样,被罚下场。或许,他比华莱士好些吧。

Wilt Chamberlain had less of an offensive repertoire than centers such as Olajuwon, Ewing, David Robinson, and Shaq. The first time he had to play against a superstar 7-foot center in Kareem, he self-admittedly struggled. Most likely Wilt would still be one of the game’s best today, but with averages closer to 25 ppg and 12 rpg. In considering all-around ability, it is hard to justify Wilt and Russell as clearly being ahead of Bryant.

张伯伦的进攻方式还逊于奥拉朱旺,尤因,罗宾逊,和大鲨鱼那样的中锋呢。他第一次和身高7尺的贾巴尔交手时,就深感压力,自叹不如。场均25分,12个篮板,放到今天,张伯伦一样出色。但从全面的角度出发,人们很难信服他和拉塞尔球技位居科比之上。

Conclusion
结论

Most people consider Jordan to be the greatest of all-time, and rightly so. But Kobe Bryant is as close to Jordan as it gets. There are other worthy nominees of being in the top 5, including Magic, Bird, Kareem, Duncan, and Oscar Robertson. However, when considering all-around game and winning, just make sure Kobe is on your list.
很多人认为乔丹才是最好的球员,事实上也如此。但科比-布莱恩特是最无限接近他的继承者。魔术师,大鸟,贾巴尔,邓肯,还有罗宾逊,也是最顶级的五名球员。但从全面和胜率方面考虑,或许只有科比才当之无愧吧。
