At some point during Stephen Curry's career he literally did a 180. Early on, he would get so badly injured that at one point the Warriors (and most of the league really) considered him a risk. It got so bad that people were calling him the next Grant Hill and when the Warriors signed him to an extension, most "experts" were shaking their heads.
当我们谈到斯蒂芬-库里,一个曾在职业生涯进入过180俱乐部的明星球员,就不由得想到他生涯早期,严重的伤病让勇士(甚至联盟大多数球队)一度认为他是玻璃人属性。人们质疑他是否是下一个格兰特-希尔,勇士为他续约时,大多数的“专家”摇头叹息,这一切几乎将要否定一个年轻人的未来。
Then he scored 54 at the Garden. Became an All-Star. Suddenly had the most 3's in the NBA. It was quiet at first, but slowly began to rise.On and on this guy, who nobody really saw coming, started scoring in bunches and making other teams look like fools, all from behind the 3 point line no less.
然后他突然的在麦迪逊广场花园狂砍五十四分,变身全明星,突然间成为NBA三分王,从默默无闻到冉冉升起,这个不起眼的小个子开始在三分线外疯狂砍分,让其他球队只能体验被支配的恐惧。
Then the next year he got off to a strong start. Another All-Star appearance. More records broken. Made it to the playoffs and suddenly beat LeBron James in the finals.
接下来的一年,更是加强版的卷土重来,又一次的出现在全明星,不断地刷新纪录,打进季后赛,更是神奇的在总决赛中击败勒布朗-詹姆斯率领的骑士队,勇夺总冠军。
He was part of the Splash Bros, he was big on God, he had family ties to the NBA and a brother who was on the come up. He was a marketing and media dream for the NBA and the news outlets. He was a well spoken man with a beautiful family that featured a hilarious daughter and no tattoos.
他是水花兄弟的一员,他信仰上帝,他在NBA有亲情纽带而且有个弟弟也即将来到NBA,他是NBA和新闻营销梦寐以求的对象和噱头。他是一个谈吐优雅,家庭幸福美满的男人,有一个机智可爱的女儿,没有纹身。
Despite being 6′3 he was considered small (for whatever reason). The underdog, if you will. And somewhere along those lines was when people began to think that Steph Curry wasn't just the best in the NBA but the best player in the world.
尽管他有6尺3寸,他还是被认为是个小个子(不管是什么原因),如果你愿意,叫小奶狗也可以。人们开始认为斯蒂芬-库里不仅是NBA最好的球员,而且是世界上最好的球员。
And make no mistake, I love Curry and his game. But Steph has never been the second best player in the league let alone the first and some can argue he's never been in the top 3 (I wouldn't go that far). Steph isn't even the best player on his team right now. But he is the best shooter ever. No question. No debate.
不要误会,我喜欢库里和他的比赛,但是库里从来都不是联盟里数一数二的球员,有些人甚至认为他永远不会进前三(我不是很赞同),他甚至可能不是现在球队里最好的球员,但他是最好的得分手,毫无疑问,无可争辩。
He would need a lot more than that to be better than this man.
他需要做的更多才能比下图这个人更好。
LeBron James is the most complete player we've seen since Jordan and he may have Jordan beat in some areas. Now I hate position arguments. LeBron and Steph are two completely different types of players.
勒布朗-詹姆斯是乔丹之后我见过最完美的运动员,而且在某些方面他可能更胜一筹,但我现在很讨厌这些争论。詹姆斯和库里是两种完全不同风格类型的球员。就像当年两届MVP得主的史蒂夫-纳什和本该得奖的科比-布莱恩特(或是05年的奥尼尔)一样是不同风格类型的球员,但既然这么直接的问题,那也有一个直接地回答,就是詹姆斯比库里厉害不止一点。
Just like back in the day how Steve Nash, who also won two MVP's, was a completely different player than the guy who should have won them, Kobe Bryant (or Shaq in 05). But since this is a direct question. LeBron James is not just better than Curry, he's much better.
就像当年两届MVP得主的史蒂夫-纳什和本该得奖的科比-布莱恩特(或是05年的奥尼尔)一样是不同风格类型的球员,但既然这么直接的问题,那也有一个直接地回答,就是詹姆斯比库里厉害不止一点。
From an analytical sense to the eye test you'd be hard pressed to find anything that could prove that Curry is better overall. But it's easy to think he is, especially for casual fans because the media loves him, thus he's heavily promoted. Again very similar to how they loved Nash and hated Kobe (at that time) when Nash won MVP.
从分析的角度看,你很难找到任何能证明库里总体上更好的地方,但特别容易想起他,特别是对于普通球迷,因为媒体的偏爱,宣传力度大。就像当年他们喜爱纳什而憎恨科比,结果纳什当选了本该属于科比的MVP。
But when you break it down, outside of shooting itself, Curry is literally only better at steals. LeBron beats him in every other category including passing. LeBron even averages more points despite Curry being the better shooter.
当你仔细分析来看,除了投篮方面,库里只在抢断一项占优,詹姆斯在其他项目完胜库里,包括传球,尽管库里是更优秀的射手,詹姆斯的场均得分依然更高。
If Curry has a bad shooting night, generally that's it for him. LeBron could score 10 points and still lead his team to victory. As a basketball fan I appreciate and am a fan of both. But facts are facts. In a direct head to head (that part is important since it's the question) LeBron is better.
假如某个夜晚库里手感糟糕,通常是这样,詹姆斯可以只得10分而仍然带走比赛,作为一个球迷,我很感激,我是双方的球迷,但事实就是事实,如果是一对一正面比较(这点很重要,因为这才是问题所在),詹姆斯更厉害。
