LeBron's move OK, Heat no lock, say Hall inductees

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Don't blame LeBron James for leaving Cleveland.
Don't fit him for a ring yet, either.

不要去指責LeBron為了冠軍戒而離開騎士。


That was the message at the Hall of Fame on Friday, where James' move to
Miami was a topic among this year's induction class.

儘管是今夏最敏感的話題，但這是今年名人堂入選成員所達成的共識。


With James joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the Heat have become a title
favorite. But Karl Malone is sticking with the reigning champions, and
Scottie Pippen isn't even sure Miami will reach the NBA finals.

熱火三巨頭已經成為了大家的話題。但郵差馬龍依舊看好湖人能奪冠，
Pippen甚至認為熱火可能連總決賽都進不去。


"I would say this: With the guys they got, they're going to be a hell of a
team," Malone said of the Heat. "I pick the Lakers."

馬龍表示：「我必須要說，當這些傢伙聚集在一起，熱火成為了一支恐怖的球隊。
但我還是看好湖人。」


Malone also joked that former coach and current ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy
"must have had some red wine that night, a lot of it," when he predicted
recently that the Heat could break Chicago's record of 72 wins set in 1995-96.

之前Jeff Van Gundy力挺熱火，稱熱火有希望打破公牛在95-96賽季創下的例行賽
72勝的紀錄，馬龍拿Jeff開起了玩笑。

「我想他那天肯定是紅酒喝多了……」馬龍說道。


Pippen, who played on that team, said the Heat need to start with smaller
expectations.

Pippen則認為，熱火應該慢慢來，先從小的期望值開始出發，不要求快。


"I'd like to see them win a championship first," he said.

Pippen表示：「首先我希望看到他們贏得總冠軍」


James was criticized for deciding to announce his free agency decision during
an ESPN special, rather than inform the Cavaliers and his other suitors
himself. Pippen agreed that wasn't the best choice, but said there was
nothing wrong with him leaving Ohio.

James在離開騎士時選擇了一種非常高調的方式，他在ESPN的電視直播上宣布加盟熱火的
決定，這樣的舉動大大地傷害了騎士球迷，也使得他飽受非議。Pippen認為這並不是最佳
選擇，但本身就離開克利夫蘭這點來說並沒什麼錯。


"I don't know what all the grief was about," Pippen said. "No fans, no
organization, no one can decide what a free agent can do or should do or
where he's going to go, and there's no reason for anyone to hold a grudge
against LeBron for making that decision."

「我不知道人們的怨恨到底從何而起，」Pippen表示，「沒有球迷、組織，沒有任何人能
夠決定一個自由球員的去留。任何人都沒有理由左右James做決定。」


Oscar Robertson also defended James, saying the free agents were just taking
advantage of the "Oscar Robertson Rule." Robertson, as president of the NBA
Players Association, filed a class-action lawsuit against the league and its
teams that the league settled in 1976, removing a team's option to keep a
player for life and opening the door for unrestricted free agency.

Oscar Robertson也站出來為Jmaes辯護，他認為James擁有選擇自己未來的權利。


Malone spent nearly his entire career in Utah before joining a powerful
Lakers team that had Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant for a last-ditch run at
a title in 2003-04. So he wasn't going to criticize James for bolting
Cleveland for a better shot on a better team _ though he didn't care for the
way it was done, either.

馬龍職業生涯的大部分時間都在爵士隊效力，在2003-04賽季為了最後的奪冠希望才轉投
湖人，他完全理解James的做法，這一切都是為了總冠軍。


"That's his decision. My decision, when I left Utah, I went to L.A. to win a
championship and had an opportunity," Malone said. "Him leaving, that's him.
I don't know what to tell you. The way it went down, I'm not into that."

「這是James的決定，我的決定就是離開爵士，當時我離開爵士加盟湖人，就是為了總冠
軍的機會。」馬龍說道，「對於他的決定，我也沒有什麼可說的。」


Malone ended up getting hurt and the Lakers fell short, and he warns that
injuries could get in the Heat's way. Pippen, meanwhile, thinks Miami's size
could be a problem.

馬龍同時也點出了傷病可能會影響熱火前進的腳步，同時Pippen則認為熱火的鋒線身材
將會成為隱憂。


"There are a couple of teams in the East that they're going to have to
contend with, that they're going to have matchup problems with," Pippen said.
"You think of Boston, Orlando. I don't see anybody that they can get to run
up and down the court with (Dwight) Howard right now and that's a game
changer."

「他們在東部有很多強大的對手，他們在個別位置的對位上也許將會出現問題。」
Pippen如是說道，「你看看波士頓和奧蘭多，我不認為有誰可以在球場上限制
Dwight Howard的能力，而這通常能改變比賽的走勢。」


Malone said the Lakers also got better over the summer with the additions of
Matt Barnes and Steve Blake. While admitting he's biased, he believes they
will win a third in a row.

馬龍認為，湖人在今年夏季也得到了很好的補強，簽下了Matt Barnes和Steve Blake。
盡管承認自己有一些私心，但他仍看好湖人三連冠，“


"As long as you've got Kobe on that team," Malone said, "and Derek Fisher on
that team and Pau Gasol and coach (Phil) Jackson and his staff, I'm picking
the Lakers."

馬龍表示：「只要你隊中有Kobe Bryant，加上Derek Fisher、Pau Gasol，再加上教練是
Phil Jackson的話，那我就會選擇湖人。」
