I wanted to know how big of a deal was that in your mind, not just for him, for the city of Milwaukee, but for the league.

我想知道，在你的心目中，這是多大的一筆交易，不僅僅是對他，對密爾沃基市，而是對聯盟。

The fact that he decided to stay in a smaller market talk to me about what that means to you.

事實上，他決定留在一個較小的市場，跟我談談這對你的意義。

I think it's a huge deal.

我認為這是一個巨大的交易。

In essence, it means that the collective bargaining agreement is working as we designed it.

從本質上講，這意味著集體談判協議正在按照我們的設計發揮作用。

I mean, as you know, it's no secret we build in huge incentives for players to stay in the market that drafted them both in terms of signing extensions and then ultimately, you know, renewing their contracts there.

我的意思是，如你所知，這不是什麼祕密，我們建立了巨大的激勵機制，讓球員留在起草他們的市場，無論是在簽署續約合同方面，還是最終，你知道，在那裡續約。

And there's there's enormous financial incentives and and the goal is in our league and that, especially with the huge explosions, social media and the distribution of our games globally, that the goal is that players are making decisions based on the quality of the team.

而且有有巨大的經濟激勵和和目標是在我們的聯盟和，特別是在巨大的爆炸，社交媒體和我們的遊戲在全球範圍內的分佈，目標是球員正在根據球隊的品質做出決定。

They're playing for the belief in the community, the management of the team, all those factors aside from just the absolute size in the market.

他們玩的是對社會的信仰，對團隊的管理，這些因素除了在市場上的絕對規模外，還有其他的因素。

And I think that the Milwaukee Milwaukee Bucks have done an incredible job surrounding the honest with, you know, a roster that is his championship.

而我認為，密爾沃基密爾沃基雄鹿隊已經做了一個令人難以置信的工作，周圍的誠實與，你知道，一個名單，是他的冠軍。

Calver like that.

卡爾弗這樣的。

The community has embraced him, certainly in terms of personal accomplishments as multiple MVPs and globally known.

社會各界對他的認可，當然是在個人成就上，作為多個MVP和全球知名。

I think what we're seeing here is that a realization from you honest at this point.

我想我們在這裡看到的是，你老實在這一點上的一個認識。

Now it's about winning not being in a market that may have more people.

現在是要贏而不是在一個可能人更多的市場上。

So again, I think it's I think it's a very positive sign for the lead.

所以，我又覺得這是我覺得這是一個非常積極的信號，對鉛。

We can't ask, have the n b A commissioner on and not ask him a question about the best player in the world who would happen to be LeBron James.

我們不能問，讓n b a專員上場，不問他一個問題，世界上最好的球員恰好是勒布朗-詹姆斯。

Uh eh.

呃...

NBA champion For the fourth time in his 18th season, he's approaching his 18th season.

NBA總冠軍 第18個賽季，他即將迎來自己的第4個賽季。

Now Can you speak a little bit about what he has meant to the league?

你能不能說說他對聯盟的意義？

What he means to the league right now, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic in terms of how he's conducted himself, and now he's led the Lakers to their to their 17th championship.

他對現在的聯盟意味著什麼，尤其是在全球大流行的情況下，他如何進行自己的行為，現在他帶領湖人隊獲得了他們的第17個冠軍。

Can you talk about LeBron James from the standpoint of what he means to the league right now.

你能不能從勒布朗-詹姆斯現在對聯盟的意義的角度來談談他。

Sure, I think one of the most important things that people in the league, No.

當然，我認為聯盟中人最重要的一件事，第。

But maybe a lot of fans don't or people outside of the league that, in addition to being the arguably the best or one of the best of course players in the league is certainly one of the hardest working on.

但是可能很多球迷不知道或者聯盟外的人不知道，除了可以說是聯盟最好的或者最好的當然球員之一，肯定是最努力的一個。

I think that has as much to do with longevity and success of his career than the And I'd say, for example, Stephen A.

我想，這與他的壽命和事業的成功有很大關係，而不是和我說，比如斯蒂芬-A。

I.

I.

You know, when I spent several weeks in the bubble I visited a few times earlier during the during the restart of the season, you frankly, other than seeing him on the court, you wouldn't have known he was there.

你知道，當我在保麗龍中度過了幾個星期，我早些時候在賽季重新開始期間訪問了幾次，你坦率地說，除了看到他在球場上，你不會知道他在那裡。

I mean, he was so focused on his game, so focused on his body and taking care of himself that, um that that the commitment and dedication that has enabled him toe have careers long as it's been and t to continue playing at an M V P type level at this age and with all the miles on his body, so s so That's his on the court activity and and off the court.

我的意思是，他是如此專注於他的比賽，如此專注於他的身體和照顧自己，嗯，這承諾和奉獻，使他能夠有職業生涯長，因為它已經和T繼續打在一個M V P型水準在這個年齡和所有的里程在他的身體，所以，所以這是他在球場上的活動和球場外。

I think it's incredible what he's continued to dio.

我覺得他繼續做的事情很不可思議。

He led a huge you know, voter registration and engagement initiative has been, you know, very out spoken on things that affect him in his community and his family in our country.

他上司了一個巨大的你知道的，選民登記和參與倡議一直，你知道，非常出聲的事情，影響他在他的社區和他的家人在我們國家。

So I'd say, You know, I'm incredibly proud of him personally, but I think he's a marvel in so many ways.

所以我想說，你知道，我為他個人感到非常驕傲，但我認為他在很多方面都是個奇蹟。

And again, though, so much of it comes back, whether it's his on the court activities or off the court, or his focus and dedication transitioning from him to Brooklyn, New York On one hand, you've got K D and Kyrie in Brooklyn, which is a very, very big deal, because obviously when you got two of those stars on your squad, you're considered a title contender.

而再次，不過，這麼多的事情又回來了，無論是他在球場上的活動還是球場外的活動，或者是他的專注和奉獻從他過渡到紐約布魯克林一方面，你有K D和Kyrie在布魯克林，這是一個非常非常大的問題，因為很明顯，當你在你的球隊中有兩個這樣的明星時，你被認為是一個冠軍競爭者。

On the other hand, you've heard the stories about Kyrie and how he didn't want to speak to the media.

另一方面，你也聽說過關於凱里的故事，他不想和媒體說話。

You saw a report by ESPN's Tim MacMahon, where he highlighted some of the things about James Harden and the latitude that was given to him by the Houston Rockets organization.

你看到了ESPN的蒂姆-麥克馬洪的報道，他強調了詹姆斯-哈登的一些事情，以及休斯敦火箭隊組織給他的寬容度。

How does stories like that affect you?

這樣的故事對你有什麼影響？

How do you believe stories like that affect the league in the eyes of the public.

你相信這樣的故事如何影響聯盟在公眾眼中的地位。

What are your thoughts about that?

你對此有什麼看法？

Look, it's its's not just the stories.

你看，這是它的不只是故事。

As you know, it's It's not on Li about the media.

你也知道，媒體的事不在李先生身上。

It's about the actuality of what happens at some teams.

這是關於一些球隊的實際情況。

And I only say, I think, Well, we all know that it's it's nothing new in professional sports are certainly in the MBA that not everyone's happy at all times in their situation.

我只說，我想，好吧，我們都知道，這不是什麼新鮮事，在職業體育是肯定在MBA，不是每個人都快樂在任何時候在他們的情況。

And a lot of those issues have been compounded by the pandemic.

而這些問題中的很多問題都因為這場大流行而變得更加複雜。

Face it, you know that for the isolation that has come with it for many people, being away from friends and family in the bubble or even now, you know, lives altered in so many ways.

面對它，你知道，對於許多人的隔離，已經與它，遠離朋友和家人的保麗龍，甚至現在，你知道，生活改變了這麼多的方式。

I think it just further accentuates, you know, issues that we all have, and I think those aren't stories you know you like to see.

我認為這只是進一步強調， 你知道，我們都有的問題， 我認為這些都不是故事 你知道你喜歡看。

But but again, even if they weren't reported, there's no question that there are issues that happened a teams, I mean, ideally from the league standpoint, those issues were handled behind closed doors, Um, you know, and that guys are able to work out issues with their teams.

但是，但再次，即使他們沒有報告， 有毫無疑問，有問題 發生了一個團隊，我的意思是，理想的 從聯盟的角度來看， 這些問題被處理 閉門造車，嗯，你知道， 而這些傢伙都能夠解決 問題與他們的團隊。

In some cases, guys end up getting traded because that's what the team wants to do rather than what the player wants.

在某些情況下，球員最終被交易，是因為那是球隊想要做的，而不是球員想要的。

In other cases, it's just bad chemistry on a team or changing circumstances.

在其他情況下，這只是一個團隊的化學反應不好或環境變化。

Changes in GMs and coaches and those things work their way out.

更換總經理和教練，這些事情都會有辦法解決。

I would say in the case of both James Harden and Cairo, you have, like extraordinary, extraordinarily talented people, complex people, also who again I mean many ways, like LeBron.

我想說的是，在詹姆斯-哈登和C羅的情況下，你有，像非凡的，特別有天賦的人，複雜的人，也是誰又我指的是很多方面，像勒布朗。

It's not just about life on the court, their multi dimensional people.

這不僅僅是球場上的生活，他們多維度的人。

They feel strongly about lots of issues around their community.

他們對社區周圍的很多問題都有強烈的感受。

And again, I, you know, at the end of the day you just want to see them be able to focus and have great seasons, and it seems like in this case, both of them both situations have settled down.

再說一次，我，你知道，在一天結束的時候，你只是想看到他們能夠專注，有偉大的賽季，似乎在這種情況下，他們兩個人的情況都已經穩定下來了。

You know, I think Kyrie, I think, recognizes at the end of the day that talking to the media is part of his responsibility as a player, and it's not really just about the media.

你知道，我想，凱里，我想，在一天結束時認識到，與媒體交談是他作為一名球員的責任的一部分，這不僅僅是關於媒體的。

With all due respect, I mean, you are a proxy, you know, for for reaching our fans, and it's part of how our fans can engage with our players and our game to understand sort of what players were thinking about what they're doing.

恕我直言，我的意思是，你是一個代理，你知道， 對於接觸我們的球迷，它的一部分，我們的球迷如何參與 我們的球員和我們的遊戲，瞭解排序的球員在想什麼，他們正在做什麼。

And I think James, you know, I saw that the media he did last week, he said.

我想詹姆斯，你知道，我看到，媒體他上週做的，他說。

He's focused on the game and being in Houston right now.

他現在專注於比賽和在休斯頓。

And look, he's got some great players around him and let's see what happens once the season starts.

而且看，他身邊有一些優秀的球員，讓我們看看賽季開始後會發生什麼。

Ultimately, that's what puts a smile on my face.

最終，這才讓我臉上露出了笑容。

That's what's so exciting to be back to the NBA basketball, absolutely getting back to the NBA basketball.

這就是回到NBA籃球的興奮點，絕對能回到NBA籃球。

But I'd be remiss in neglecting to bring up Kawhi Leonard as well, because you guys are investigating.

但如果我忽略了把卡維-萊昂納德也提了出來，那就太失職了，因為你們正在調查。

The league is investigating allegations made against the Los Angeles Clippers and consultant Jerry West about the recruitment of Kawhi Leonard.

聯盟正在調查針對洛杉磯快船隊和顧問傑裡-韋斯特關於招募卡維-萊昂納德的指控。

What can you tell us about that?

你能告訴我們什麼？

Andi, how far along you are in that investigation?

安迪，你的調查進行到什麼程度了？

What can you speak on in regards to that?

關於這一點，你能說些什麼？

All I can say there is is, you know, everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocents.

我只能說，你知道，每個人都有權利被推定為無罪。

Obviously, someone that is not known to me or to the league office has made an allegation against the team, and so we'll look into it it czar obligation on behalf of all 30 teams that that if something comes to our attention, you know, way, look into it and we see if there's anything there again, we you know they have no reason to believe based on what's been alleged so far, that there's anything inappropriate that took place.

很明顯，有人不知道我或聯盟辦公室對球隊提出了指控，所以我們會調查它沙皇義務代表所有30支球隊，如果有什麼東西引起我們的注意，你知道，方式，看看它，我們看看是否有任何東西，我們你知道他們沒有理由相信基於迄今為止的指控，有任何不適當的事情發生。

But that's that's why we follow up on whatever leads come to league office.

但這就是為什麼我們要跟進聯盟辦公室的任何線索。

So that's all I can say right now.

所以我現在只能說這些。
