10 Reasons Phil Jackson is Right: Kobe Bryant is Not Michael Jordan, Nobody Is
菲尔·杰克逊没错的10个原因：科比不是乔丹，也没人会是乔丹
For all those hardcore NBA fans who honestly believe that Michael Jordan created the game of basketball, let me stop you right there. It only seemed that way, especially when looking in the rear-view mirror of a career that was mostly storybook and unequaled in the annals of the sport.
对于所有真的相信乔丹创造了篮球比赛的那些NBA铁杆球迷们，让我来告诉你是错的吧。这只是看起来是那样的，特别是当我们从那些基本上已经是这项运动中的故事书或者是无与伦比的史册的后视镜中窥视它的时候。
There never was and never will be another Michael Jordan. His individual statistics during his 15-year career (all but two with the Chicago Bulls) justify the recent comments made by Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson when he told the Los Angeles Times' T.J. Simers to “stop comparing anyone to Michael Jordan. It’s just not fair. He was remarkable.”
永远都不曾有另一个迈克尔·乔丹，今后也不会有。湖人主教练杰克逊告诉洛杉矶时报的T.J.Simers“别在任何人和乔丹做对比了，这是不公平的。他是无与伦比的。”的时候，乔丹15年（除了了2年，其他都在公牛队的）个人数据证实了菲尔最近的评论。
Jackson, of course, should know. He’s coached two of the greatest players the game has ever seen in Jordan and Kobe Bryant. While acknowledging Bryant as an exceptionally gifted player in his own right, Jackson is quick to point out that the Lakers’ superstar is not MJ: “It's one thing to hope to be like him (Jordan), it's another thing to be like him."
当然了，杰克逊应该知道。他执教了两个了最好的球员，他是看着乔丹和科比的比赛的。虽然承认科比是独特的天才球员而有他自己的特权，杰克逊马上又指出，湖人对的超级球星不是MJ。“希望成为像他（乔丹）一样的人是一回事，而成为像他一样的人又是另一回事。”
The comparisons are inevitable, simply because both played the same position, they are the same height, they played for the same coach and they won almost the same number of NBA championships (Jordan has six, Bryant five). Bryant has emulated Jordan in many aspects of his game and has said as much.
比较是不可避免的，仅仅因为他们在场上司职相同的位置，有同样的身高，在相同的主教练手下打球而且还有基本上相同数量的NBA总冠军（目前为止，乔丹6个，科比5个）。科比在模仿乔丹的比赛的许多方面，而且科比也说过那些。
Is Michael Jordan a better all-around player than Kobe Bryant? If statistics mean something, then the simple answer is yes. But if heart and will to win count for anything, then Bryant surely would give Jordan a run for his money.
是否乔丹在所有方面都是个比科比更好的球员呢？如果数据意味着一些事情的话，那么简单的答案是：是的。但是如果对于任何事情都想要赢的心和意愿来说，那么科比肯定要胜乔丹一筹，因为科比更有钱。
Phil Jackson is right: Kobe Bryant is not Michael Jordan. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
菲尔·杰克逊是对的：科比不是乔丹。而且那也不是一件必然的坏事情。
10. Rebounding Edge Goes to Michael Jordan
10.篮板球上不如乔丹
Jordan and Bryant were both consistent on the boards. But overall MJ averaged almost one rebound more per game over the length of his career, collecting 6.3 per game.
乔丹和科比在篮板球上的态度是一致。不过，整体上乔丹整个生涯要比科比多抢差不多一个篮板，生涯场均6.3个板。
Jordan collected eight rebounds per game during the 1988-89 season when he also scored 32.5 points per contest.
乔丹88-89赛季在场均32.5分的同时还抢到了8个篮板球。
Bryant, on the other hand, has averaged 5.3 for his career. The highest average for him in a single season is 6.9.
而另一方面，科比职业生涯场均5.3个板。单赛季最高是6.9个。
9. King of Facilitating
9.促进队友（助攻）方面
This category is pretty close, but Jordan still trumps Bryant.
这个方面他们很接近，但是乔丹还是强过科比。
During his twice-interrupted career, Jordan averaged 5.3 assists per game. His best year was that 1988-89 season in which he averaged eight assists to go along with his eight boards.
在乔丹两次退役的职业生涯中，场均5.3个助攻。在乔丹最好的赛季是在88-89赛季，那个赛季他场均8个助攻的同时还有8个篮板。
Kobe has averaged 4.7 assists during his career with the Lakers and he is averaging that same amount this year. He is consistently in the 4.5-5.0 range and he has been as high as six per game in 2004-05.
科比在湖人队的职业生涯中场均4.7个助攻，这个赛季场均也跟这个差不多。科比的助攻一直稳定在4.5-5个中，最好的时候是在04-05赛季，场均6个助攻。
As he's gotten older, Bryant has become more of a facilitator, and though it doesn't always show up in the box score, he does spread the ball around much more than in his earlier years.
随着科比慢慢变老，他越来越是个促进者，尽管并不总是在个人数据上显示出来，他并不像前几年那样满场的运球了。
8. Steals: Michael Jordan Set the Bar High
8.抢断方面：乔丹要更积极
When it comes to defense and steals, Michael Jordan again gets the best of his younger counterpart. Jackson could count on Jordan for a couple of steals per night.
当谈到防守和抢断方面，乔丹同样做得比他年轻的对手更好。杰克逊可以指望乔丹每场都抢断那么几次。
Over the course of 15 seasons, Jordan averaged 2.35 steals while Kobe averages 1.5 and Kobe was only over two per game for an entire season one time.
在整个15年的职业生涯中，乔丹场均有2.35个抢断，而科比只有1.5个。而且科比整个赛季超过2个抢断的最好的时候也只有一次。
Jordan, conversely, had 10 seasons in which he averaged at least two steals per game. In 1987-88, one of MJ's top statistical years, he averaged 3.16 assists to go along with a 32.5 scoring average and 54-percent shooting.
相反，乔丹有10个赛季场均抢断至少超过2次。在乔丹个人数据最好的87-88赛季，他场均3.16个助攻的同时还有场均32.5分，而且命中率达到54%。
This category clearly favors Jordan.
这个方面显然对乔丹更有利。
7. Scoring Average: Score Another "Win" for Mike
7.平均得分方面：MJ又一次胜出
He was as consistently prolific a scorer as anyone who ever played the game. Michael Jordan never met a court he didn't like or a shot he couldn't convert.
乔丹总是所有球员中最好的得分手。乔丹从没有碰到过他不喜欢的场地或者他不能打败的场地。
Jordan's scoring acumen was uncanny and, again, there is really no comparison between the equally athletic Kobe Bryant. Some will argue that Jordan took on more of the scoring responsibilities with the Bulls, that Kobe could rely on Shaquille O'Neal early in his career and Pau Gasol later on. Those are weak arguments.
乔丹的得分敏锐性是可怕的，而且，又一次，同样有能力的科比在这方面没有可比性。或许有人会争论，乔丹承担了公牛队更多的得分责任，而科比在生涯早期可以依靠奥尼尔而在后期可以有保罗·加索尔。这些真是薄弱的争辩。
The fact remains that Jordan put up big numbers year after year and he was usually at or above 50-percent shooting for the season. He probably took fewer deep jump shots than Bryant, which may help explain why Kobe's field-goal percentages have been lower.
事实还有，乔丹随着年龄增大的同时赛季命中率还可以可以保持甚至超过50%。他可能没有科比那么多的跳投，而这可能解释为什么科比的投篮命中率一直较低。
Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game over his career—the highest in NBA history—and that would have been higher had it not been for the final two seasons he spent hanging on with Washington from 2001-03.
乔丹生涯场均30.1分——NBA历史中最高——而且如果乔丹没有在01-03年把他最后的两年浪费在华盛顿的话，可能会更高。
At Chicago, Jordan had seven straight seasons and eight of nine in which he averaged 30 or more points per game. That, as Jackson likes to say, made him "remarkable."
在芝加哥，乔丹连续7个赛季而且9个赛季中有8个的场均得分达到或者超过30分。这是杰克逊喜欢说的，而这这使得乔丹“无与伦比”。
Bryant is averaging just over 25 points per game for his career and he has had three seasons over 30. That's sort of like Mike but not really.
科比职业生涯场均只是刚刚超过25分，而且他只有3个赛季超过30分。这有点像MJ，但是还是差远了。
6. Field Goal Percentage: Jordan Rules
6.投篮命中率：乔丹规则
For his career, Jordan converted just a tad below 50 percent of his field-goal attempts. He took 24,537 shots and made an incredible 12,192 of them.
在乔丹整个生涯中，他只有极少的时候投篮命中率低于50%。他一共24,537次出手中命中了12,192次。
To date, Kobe has attempted 21,104 shots and converted on 9,594 or 46 percent. Jordan played 15 seasons; Bryant is about a dozen games short of finishing his 15th.
到目前为止，科比21，104次出手中只命中了9,594次，只有46%的命中率。乔丹打了15个赛季；而科比只差十几场就完成了他的第15个赛季了。
What makes these percentages and numbers so extraordinary for Jordan is that he took about 3,500 more shots than Bryant during the same period of time and, yet, shot a higher percentage.
使得这命中率以及次数对于乔丹来说如此非凡的是在同一时期内乔丹比科比多出手了3,500次，而且，还是高命中率。
5. Defense: Both Are Great but Jordan Was Extraordinary
5.防守：都是伟大的，但是乔丹是非凡的
MJ was Defensive Player of the Year in 1988-89. He also was a nine-time All-Defensive Team selection in the NBA.
乔丹是88-89赛季的最佳防守球员。同时，他还9次入选NBA最佳防守阵容。
Jordan blocked shots, stole the ball (10 seasons of two or more per game) and often guarded the big scorer on the opposition.
乔丹能盖帽，可以抢断（在10个赛季中每场都有两次或者更多），而且经常在防守端对位对付的超级主要得分手。
This is not meant to take anything away from Bryant, who prides himself on playing strong defense. He does get after the ball and he averages 1.5 steals per game.
这并不是意味着要说科比的不是，而科比引以为豪的是在更高强度的防守下打球。在他也确实在防守时有1.5次的场均抢断。
Bryant has been an All-Defensive Team selection eight times and he is as tough a defender on the ball as any shooting guard or small forward in the league.
科比曾8次入选NBA最佳防守阵容，而且他在对位对付的得分后卫或者小前锋拿球的时候是联盟一个很强硬的防守者。
4. Free-Throw Percentage: This One Is a Dead Heat
4.罚球命中率：这家伙手热得发烫
Kobe Bryant is "money" at the free-throw line. So, too, was Michael Jordan.
科比在罚球线上得到了不少便宜。乔丹也是。
Bryant for his career is accurate 84 percent of the time from the charity stripe. Jordan finished his career a smidgen under 84 percent.
科比在罚球线上有精准的命中率，达到了84%。乔丹在生涯结束的时候也才稍稍的低于84%的罚球命中率。
Jordan went to the line 8,772 times during his illustrious career, while Bryant stands at 8,277 attempts to date. Does that mean Jordan was better at drawing fouls? Perhaps slightly, but not by much.
乔丹只其辉煌的职业生涯中一共8,772次走上罚球线，而科比到目前为止，有8,277次站上罚球线。这是否意味着乔丹在制造犯规方面要跟强呢？或许有一点吧，但是不多。
Both are very effective at getting to the line.
在罚球线上两人都是非常有效率的。
3. Securing Their First Championship Rings
3. 他们得到的第一枚总冠军戒指
Here's where things start to favor Bryant over Jordan...somewhat. Kobe secured his first championship in just his fourth season with the Lakers—1999-2000. It took Jordan seven campaigns before he finally won the first of his six rings with Chicago.
有一点开始对于科比来说比乔丹强，或许有一点吧。科比得到他的第一枚总冠军戒指是在他的第4个赛季，也就是他在湖人的99-00赛季。乔丹花了7年的时间才奋斗得到他6个总冠军中的第一个。
There are so many factors that go into winning an NBA championship. But we're debating the talents of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and how their individual seasons translated onto the teams they played for.
赢得NBA总冠军受许多的因素的影响。但我们是在讨论乔丹和科比的天赋以及他们如何把个人融入到他们所效力的球队之中。
When Jordan finally hit his stride and all the pieces came together, the Bulls went on a terrific run that landed them six world titles in eight years. Bryant, on the other hand, has five rings but took a decade to acquire them.
当乔丹最后跨出一大步以及所有的拼图都凑满的时候，公牛打出了可怕的比赛，而那是的他们在8年内赢得了6个总冠军。相反，科比拥有5个总冠军，是花了十年的时间才得到的。
The edge goes back to Jordan.
胜利的天平又开始倾向乔丹了。
2. Return of the Jordan: He Unretires from Baseball to Win Three More Rings
2.乔丹的付出：离开棒球却赢得了3个戒指
Sports fans in Chicago must have been shaking their collective heads over this one. Michael Jordan leads them to three world titles and then decides he wants to play baseball instead of basketball.
芝加哥的体育迷们肯定因为这家伙震惊了他们的球队高层。乔丹带领他们拿到了三次世界冠军，但是接下来却决定放弃篮球改打棒球。
This was like Pavarotti, at the height of his operatic powers, deciding to retire and try his luck at stand-up comedy or NASCAR. It just makes you scratch your head and wonder.
这就像帕瓦罗蒂，在他的歌剧巅峰，决定退休，而试图脱口秀上碰碰运气或者玩玩赛车。这只是让你开始挠头想知道为什么。
This was like Picasso throwing his paint brushes into the river and deciding to become a chef. You don't win three championships, retire in the middle of one of the best careers in any sport and then come back to it two years later. And win.
这就像毕加索把他的画笔往河里扔，而决定去当一名厨师。没有人在赢得了三次总冠军之后，在最黄金的生涯时从任何一项体育项目中退役，然后在两年之后付出，而且还最后取得了胜利。
Unless you are Michael Jordan.
除非你是迈克尔·乔丹。
He retired abruptly in 1993 and signed with the Chicago White Sox as a minor league player.
1993年乔丹突然退役，并且签约了芝加哥白袜队作为一个小联盟的球员。
Jordan played for the Birmingham Barons, where he compiled a not-so-robust .202 average with three home runs, 51 runs batted in, 30 stolen bases and 11 errors. He also played for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the 1994 Arizona Fall League and again hit .202. Not exactly the stuff of legend.
乔丹曾在伯明翰男爵打过球，在那他表现得并不是那么强劲。场均0.202次全垒打，平均得分在51分，盗垒30以及11失误。他还打了在1994年秋季美国亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔联赛蝎子并再次场均0.202次全垒打。这并不是传说中家伙。
Jordan came back to the Bulls towards the end of the 1994-95 regular season and led Chicago to three-straight world championships again.
乔丹在94-95赛季常规赛快到尾端的时候复出，并在一次带领芝加哥拿到了三连冠。
Once again, it's impossible to compare Bryant with Jordan on this one.
又一次，在这方面科比没法与乔丹相比。
1.
Kobe Bryant Is Still Writing His Story: Jordan's Work Is Done
1.科比还是书写着他的故事：而乔丹则已经结束了
To his credit, Kobe Bryant is arguably the best player of the last decade. Unlike Michael Jordan, he has had to play under the intense spotlight of the Los Angeles Lakers in a city that seems to relish building up and knocking down its sports and entertainment celebrities with a regularity that borders on the ridiculous.
值得赞扬的是，科比不可争议的是过去十年里最好的球员。不像乔丹，他不必在洛杉矶这样的大城市的聚光灯下打球，而这也似乎不如与娱乐界的名人们在场边荒谬来往的乐趣。（什么意思呢？不懂了…）
L.A. is a tough place to try and become a "legend," but much to his credit, Bryant has done just that. He's been up and he's been way down—both on and off the court. And today, as the regular season winds down, Bryant and Phil Jackson are poised to make a run for yet another three-peat.
洛杉矶是个不利于尝试着并成为传奇的地方，但是这却更使值得赞扬的是，科比已经做到了这些。无论在场上还是场外，科比曾一路坎坷，但是如今，当常规赛即将尘埃落定的时候，科比和菲尔·杰克逊正为了他们又一个三连冠而努力着。
Jackson was correct when he said that Kobe Bryant is no Michael Jordan, that there is no comparison. Bryant might be the first to agree—he's content to be his own man, to follow in the footsteps of the game's icons and to carve out his own place in the history books.
当杰克逊说到科比不是乔丹的时候是没错的，因为这并不具有可比性。科比可能是第一个承认——他的人生是他自己的人，随着比赛的脚步，并在历史上留下他自己的位置。
Like Jordan, Kobe Bryant is a tireless worker and a perfectionist who demands as much perfection from his teammates as they are able to muster. And, like MJ, Bryant is all about winning.
像乔丹一样，科比也是一个永不疲倦的人，而且还是个完美主义者，他总会要求的比他的队友能够集合要求的更完美。此外，想乔丹一样，科比对胜利是永不满足的。
The comparisons between the two players are inevitable. The fans want to decide who is better. That debate will rage on for years.
在这两个人之间的比较是不可避免的。球迷们想确定到底谁更好。而这些争论讲会持续很多年。
But Phil Jackson is correct when he says that Kobe Bryant is no Michael Jordan. He is also correct when he says that Bryant is a remarkable person. It's not about liking him. It's about admiring his courage.
但是，当杰克逊说到科比不是乔丹的时候，他是对的。当杰克逊说到，科比是个无与伦比的人的时候，也是对的。这与喜欢他无关，而是敬佩他的勇气。
"And there's only one individual I know that's like that, and that's Michael Jordan."
“而且，仅仅只有那么一个人才能像那样，就我所知道的，那就是迈克尔·乔丹。”
