It's been such a complicated year for all of us.

這一年對我們所有人來說都很複雜。

But there have been along with all of the horror and all of the sadness and all of the difficulties.

但一直以來，伴隨著所有的恐怖、所有的悲傷和所有的困難。

There have obviously been wonderful and rewarding things.

So as you look back on this year, what would you say has been the most rewarding part of it for you?

那麼，當你回顧這一年，你會說什麼是你最有收穫的部分？

One of the most rewarding things for me is in the middle of all this.

對我來說，最有意義的一件事就是在這一切中。

My wife and I had another baby, so we had a new daughter in the middle of all this.

我和妻子又生了一個孩子，所以我們在這中間又有了一個新的女兒。

But I would say from a larger standpoint, there's been a coming together of the Li Um you know, of course, the the teams are killer competitors on the floor, but they're all partners in the overall enterprise and saying, You know, together with the players And I'd say, You know, we to me we had a very good relationship with Michelle Roberts, executive director of the Players Association.

但我想說的是，從更大的角度來看，李安已經走到了一起，當然，球隊在場上是殺手級的競爭對手，但他們都是整個企業的合作伙伴，我想說的是，我們和球員協會的執行董事米歇爾-羅伯茨關係非常好。

I mentioned Chris Paul before and and the players generally going into the pandemic, but what you know what was sort of to me heartwarming in many ways is that the community really came together once we had shut down.

我之前提到了克里斯-保羅和和球員一般進入大流行，但你知道的是那種對我來說在許多方面令人心動的是，一旦我們已經關閉，社區真的走到了一起。

I mean, we quickly turned to what it would mean to restart.

我的意思是，我們很快就轉向了重啟的意義。

You know, as I've said before, it's it's fairly straightforward, decided to shut down.

你知道，我之前說過，這是很直接的，決定關閉。

The really complicated part is can you find a safe and healthy way to continue?

真正複雜的是你能不能找到一個安全健康的方式繼續下去？

And I think, you know, a few weeks after we shut down and had an opportunity to better understand what was happening, Um, that was the first time this this so called bubble concept was introduced and which which ultimately, obviously we moved to in Orlando and we started the season with 22 teams.

我認為，你知道，幾個星期後，我們關閉，並有機會更好地瞭解發生了什麼事，嗯，這是第一次這個所謂的保麗龍概念被引入，最終，很明顯，我們移動到奧蘭多，我們開始本賽季與22支球隊。

But it required enormous compliment, you know, enormous sacrifices and compromises from everyone, obviously the players agreeing to live on that campus.

但這需要巨大的恭維，你知道，巨大的犧牲和每個人的妥協，顯然球員們同意住在那個校園裡。

For those teams that went to the finals, it was a full three months, largely away from their families, you know, and friends that we needed the teams to agree to modify formats to finish the regular season.

對於那些進入總決賽的球隊來說，這是整整三個月的時間，主要是遠離他們的家人，你知道，和朋友，我們需要球隊同意修改格式來完成常規賽。

We needed financial investments from the teams in order to pull this off a great partnership at Disney and their willingness to do it.

我們需要各團隊的資金投資，才能在迪士尼完成這個偉大的合作，以及他們的意願。

And I think in many ways we saw the best of people during the most difficult of times and I think that's continued, you know, largely into this season.

我認為在很多方面，我們看到了最好的人 在最困難的時候，我認為這是持續的，你知道，很大程度上進入本賽季。

Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone agrees with everything that we do, even within the NBA community.

當然，這並不意味著每個人都同意我們所做的一切，即使在NBA社區內。

But I think largely it's been coming together.

但我認為很大程度上是湊齊了。

You know of everyone who's involved in operating NBA basketball, and I'm particularly proud of the fact that collectively we have a we have found a way healthy and safe way to continue operating an appropriate balance of, you know, the health of everyone involved and the economics, frankly, and I haven't shied away from that.

你知道每一個參與經營NBA籃球的人，我特別自豪的是，我們集體找到了一種健康安全的方式，繼續經營一個適當的平衡，你知道，每個人都參與的健康和經濟，坦率地說，我沒有迴避這個問題。

I mean, there's an economic crisis in this country as well, and it's it's absolutely meaningful not just for the players and the coaches to have that ability to work.

我的意思是，這個國家也有經濟危機，它是絕對有意義的，不僅僅是球員和教練有這種工作能力。

But there are thousands and thousands of jobs that are dependent on the NBA's ability to operate.

但是，有成千上萬的工作崗位是依靠NBA的運作能力來實現的。

Adam Silver is with me here and so again the one year anniversary of all of that.

亞當-西爾弗和我在一起，所以又是這一切的一週年。

I have a limited time here, so let me get a couple of things and quickly if I can.

我這裡的時間有限，如果可以的話，讓我拿幾樣東西，快點。

We've been talking here a little bit about um as far as the way the game itself has played in the proliferation of three point shots as a result of analytics and and the concern that some people have that that is becoming too prominent.

我們在這裡一直在談論嗯，至於遊戲本身的方式，由於分析和和一些人的擔憂，三分球的擴散變得過於突出。

Daryl Morey, of all people who sort of began this revolution, has voiced that.

達里爾-莫雷，所有的人誰排序開始這場革命，已經表達了這一點。

I just wonder what if any, conversations have been had relative to that, and whether it is, it is viewed as something that is a concern.

我只是想知道，如果有的話，相對於這一點進行了哪些對話，以及它是否被看作是一種關注的東西。

It I wouldn't say it rises to the level of concerned.

它我不會說它上升到關注的程度。

I mean, I actually am really enjoying the game aesthetically, right now.

我的意思是，其實我現在真的很喜歡這個遊戲的審美，。

I've been with the league for over 30 years and I think we're seeing some incredible basketball.

我已經在聯盟工作了30多年，我認為我們看到了一些不可思議的籃球。

Having said that, Um, we're constantly looking at tinkering at the game.

說了這麼多，嗯，我們在遊戲中不斷地尋找修補。

你還記得，我們曾經把它搬進來過。

Then we moved it back out and we moved into a slightly different places on the floor.

然後我們又把它搬了出來，我們搬到了地上稍微不同的地方。

I think as the as the caliber of the shooting has gotten better.

我覺得隨著射擊口徑的越來越好。

I mean, you know, you know, Bob Cousy said to me last year of all people, like he said, fans today don't understand the skill level of these players.

我的意思是，你知道，你知道，鮑勃-庫西去年對我說的所有人，就像他說的那樣，今天的球迷不瞭解這些球員的技術水平。

What they're doing by shooting from that length on the floor with the kind of accuracy they do.

他們在場上那麼長的距離投籃，他們的準確率是多少。

Having said that, you want a diverse game and I think you recall Mike my early days in the league, everyone used to complain there was too much dunking and that and that.

說了這麼多，你要的是多樣化的比賽，我想你還記得邁克我早年在聯盟的時候，每個人都曾經抱怨過有太多的扣籃，還有那個那個。

We had a lot of, you know, a lot of great athletes in the league, but they were skilled in the way that you see a lot of these players now.

我們有很多，你知道，聯盟裡有很多偉大的運動員，但他們的技術是你現在看到很多這些球員的方式。

I'm sure there may be some adjustments we can make.

我相信我們可能會做出一些調整。

I mean, I think again, there's so much great about the game right now, but the three point line in particular, something we'll continue to look at.

我的意思是，我又覺得，現在的比賽有很多精彩的地方，但特別是三分線，我們會繼續關注。

Okay, Yeah, That's something we've talked about here.

好吧，是的，這就是我們在這裡談論的東西。

And perhaps at a later time when we have more time, we can do a little bit more in depth.

也許在以後我們有更多時間的時候，我們可以做得更深入一些。

One more thing quickly, Commissioner, before I let you go again, Adam Silver is with me.

還有一件事，局長，在我再次讓你走之前，亞當-西爾弗是和我一起的。

I saw that literally moments before you came on the air with me.

在你和我一起上節目之前，我就看到了。

You released a statement and made an announcement relative to the NBA investigation into the anti Semitic slur that Meyers Leonard of the Heat uttered during a recent video game that was live streamed.

你發佈了一份聲明，並就NBA調查熱火隊的梅耶斯-萊昂納德在最近的一場視頻遊戲直播中說出的反閃族汙言穢語發表了公告。

I'm sure many people have not seen that, could you, uh, if you would just share what decisions the league has reached and the thoughts that you shared?

我相信很多人都沒有看到，你能不能，呃，你能不能分享一下聯盟達成的決定和你分享的想法？

So Meyers Leonard said, something that was picked up on Twitch while he was engaged in an online video game and and somebody recorded it and put it out on social media.

所以梅耶斯-萊昂納德說，有些東西是在Twitch上撿到的，而他當時正在進行一個在線視頻遊戲，並且有人把它錄了下來，放在了社交媒體上。

And I only say that as part of our investigation, of course, we interview the player.

我只是說，作為我們調查的一部分，當然，我們會採訪球員。

And the fact that or not as to whether a player is contrite and remorseful, is an important factor for the league.

而對於一個球員是否有反悔和悔恨，是聯盟的重要因素。

I think in this case, Myers was incredibly remorseful.

我想在這件事上，邁爾斯是非常懊悔的。

In fact, he's already met with the Anti Defamation Defamation League.

事實上，他已經和反誹謗誹謗聯盟見面了。

He is going to be, You know, it's not even something that that we had to mandate because he volunteered it, that he would, um, participate in some sort of diversity, um, program.

他將是，你知道， 它甚至不是什麼 我們不得不強制 因為他自願的， 他將，嗯，參加 某種多樣性，嗯，程序。

I think he clearly I accept his word that he didn't understand the import of what he was saying and and and he's paying a price for it and that's what we announced that he's being fined $50,000 which happens to be my the limit of my authority for an act like that.

我想他很清楚，我接受他的說法，他不明白他所說的話的重要性，而且他為此付出了代價，這就是我們宣佈的，他被罰款5萬美元，這恰好是我的權力的極限，對於這樣的行為。

He got injured earlier this season, so he's out right now.

他在本賽季早些時候受傷了，所以他現在不在。

So it obviously isn't all that meaningful to suspend him from a game right now.

所以現在讓他停賽顯然沒有什麼意義。

So we made a decision to, in essence, suspend him from engaging in team activities, are being at the practice facility for a week and then so and then.

所以我們做了一個決定，實質上，暫停他參與球隊活動，正在練習場一週，然後如此這般。

Plus he's going to agree to the training, so I think that's appropriate in this case.

再加上他要同意訓練，所以我覺得在這種情況下是合適的。

I do think he's absolutely genuinely remorseful.

 It's something you never want to see in professional sports or anywhere in society, and I think it's important that when these incidents do happen, we talk about them and we talk about how hurtful those kinds of words can be for people in our society. 

這是你永遠不想在職業體育或社會上任何地方看到的事情，我認為重要的是，當這些事件確實發生時，我們談論它們，我們談論這種話對我們社會中的人有多大的傷害。
