只管2009年名人堂已经星光熠熠,包括了大卫罗宾逊,约翰斯托克顿,杰里斯隆和C.Vivian Stringer,但是麦克乔丹的报告时间还是比其别人都要长一些。
问:你最像谁?
应该是我父亲,要知道,我和他十分相似,而且这是我不能左右的,是的,毫无疑难。如果有人盘算要像我,我想首先要先晒黑自己,再做个发型。我很兴奋我就是我自己,无论你怎么对待
问:你最美好的篮球时间是什么时候?
这很难说,就似乎问那个孩子是你最喜欢的。我有过很屡次伟大的造诣,无数冲动的比赛和绝杀。我很难取舍其中的一个。如果从1982年的北卡说起,那次对犹他投中的绝杀球,或者在梦之队打球的经历,打棒球,当然你们这些家伙可能不认为那是一次成功的经历。因为有太多所以很难选出一个。我很高兴有这么多可以抉择的。
问:想对芝加哥的球迷说点什么?
这是我的第二家乡,我现在还住在这里,很多人可能认为我不住这了,但我确切还住在这里。Jonathan Kovler和Rod Thorn邀请我这个懵懂的小伙子来芝加哥,那是我第一次分开故乡。北卡到威明顿只有2.5小时车程,因而看上去并不远。他们把我带入行,我开端挣钱过活。他们信任我,我也信赖他们。这个关系一直连续到现在。我将永远,永远的酷爱芝加哥城,感激那些支撑我的球迷。除了我所做的,我没有更多可以回报球迷的。我也不打算再索取。我只是希望大家可以记住我给这座城市发明的奉献。毫无疑问,没有大家的支持我不可能站在这里。
问:你能谈谈逝世敌犹他爵士和联盟最脏(dirtiest)的球员约翰斯托克顿嘛?
我不认为斯托克顿是联盟最脏的球员。我可以数出很多。当然你可以说那是脏。我想说他是一个坚韧,适用型球员,他会用他的身材和智力与你对决。我们克服了他们两次,我想说说我们的球队。因为他们是一个很伟大的球队。他们本不该很轻易的战胜我们两次。这两支球队的对决是经典的。那群小伙子们,斯托克顿,马龙,教练斯隆,代表了当时犹他的全体。他们是伟大的对手。我很享受和他们的比赛。他们帮助我打到了竞技的巅峰。让我数次享受了顶峰休会。
问:你的先父James现在会想些什么?
他可能能够站在这里答复你所有的问题。他很爱好谈到我。我想他已经看到我长大成人。我曾是他 的学生,他教会我良多。如果他今天在这里,他应当举国若狂一下。我想他应该对我所做的所有感到自豪,对我做出的决议,好的仍是坏的,感到骄傲,和所有父亲一样:他( )会很愉快,并且对我职业生活取得的成绩感到满足。他的精力在这里,我能确信这一点。当你看到我,你就看到了他,你看我的母亲,我的兄弟和我的姐妹。我代表我全部家庭站在这里,我想他们和我一样对进入名人堂感到自豪,一个美妙的周末。
问:你对被称作史上最巨大的球员如何评估?
人们说我是这项活动的历史上最优良的球员,对此我感到诚惶诚恐,如果作为一个观点我可以接收。对我而言,我自己没有和杰里韦斯特打过比赛,也没有和埃尔金贝勒或者威尔特张伯伦打过比赛。是的,我当然生机能和他们交手。但我毕竟是不是比他们杰出这个问题不是我所能决定的。但是球迷这样提起已经让我感到莫大幸运。但我自己真的不会那么去认为,因为我自己和大多数名人堂球员都没有一起比胜过。”
问:你对公牛的早期回想是什么?
当我第一次到芝加哥,他们做得还不够好。我们能做的就是不断提高,我们已经无路可退。我来自一所争冠的知名大学篮球队。所以我愿望尽我所能赞助球队获胜。获奖的难度一年比一年高。当时,对我们来说目标是进入季后赛。一旦我们进入季后赛,目标就变成了要过第一轮。然后目的变成了东部同盟的决赛。而后是进入总决赛。这是一条经常的路。我们换了球员,有了更好队员。不是说我刚到球队的队友那里不好。只是我认为需要化学变更,并能在较长时间坚持。治理层在人事变动方面很成功。我们阅历了三个教练。科林斯提出建破一个奇特的可以竞争总冠军的球队,然后菲尔来了并实现了它。我为这个城市自豪。这是一个让人勤恳的工作环境,并碰劲在公牛队身上应验。一旦我们登上了高峰,我们就不想废弃。我很高兴我是其中的一部门。我来的时候,只有6000人在看台上观看比赛。这些人中也大多呈现在我职业生涯停止的离别上演中,大局部也亲临了这座运动场被出售的那个夜晚。我盼望他们都知道公牛来自哪里,今天的声誉经历了怎么的拼杀。所以我今天有一点激动,我想大声的说。我和我的队友们最在乎的就是我们是成功者。我记得和泰克斯温特的一次对话,温特一位伟大的教练。记得那是一场比赛濒临序幕的时候,我拿到了20分行将博得比赛的时候,温特提示我,比赛已经不需要我了,我回首看了下温特,然后说:“如果我要赢得比赛,你想怎么做?”
问:你可以评价一下科比和詹姆斯嘛?
我看到一些他们相似的处所。这就是篮球的演化。当我出道后,人们老是那我和J博士相比拟。我是Walter Davis的粉丝。显然,你们知道我与大卫汤普森的关联。你怎么能不看到自己跟科比,詹姆斯的类似之处?他们会觉得很有趣。然而,不要急于想法找出下一个迈克尔乔丹。看上去不会有下一个迈克尔乔丹。我是说,方法不同,时光不同,游戏规矩,发生的球员也会不同。人们一直尽力寻找下一个迈克尔乔丹。首先,你没有找到我。我恰好到来。而接下来你就晓得,我在这里。所以你不找我。而且你不会发明下一个。这不会产生。我敢确定你们是要否认它。假如还没有筹备好,你总会心识到,你们会以为这些小伙子们领有比乔丹更好的潜力。他们将树立自己的历史,他们就是本人。只要给他们一些时间。
问:你能谈谈已经在名人堂的教练菲尔杰克逊嘛,他对你的职业生涯有什么影响?
我还没有谈到菲尔。他是一个难以捉摸的家伙。我不知道他是在蒙大拿州,南达科他还是北达科他州。我不知道他在哪里当初。在3月份发布我会是名人堂的球员之一的时候,他已经预备好庆祝词了。而7个月从前了。你永远不知道从菲尔那里会有什么冀望。他给我挑战。而且是在我须要挑战的时候给我挑衅。他让我进步了对竞赛的浏览能力,感知队友和并团结他们的才能。他有时让我处置和其余球员的关系,比方罗德曼,这让我感到很麻烦,但我能恢复过来。对我来说,这是一个很好的学习机遇。他能进名人堂,这一点也不奇异。他目前仍然在湖人取得成功,我也不感到意外。由于我感到他正在和那些小伙子们融会在一起。他们的篮球禀赋已经在那里了。我想你们应该知道在菲尔到湖人以前,他有同样的队员。但这些队员在菲尔来了当前获得了令人瞩目标胜利,应为菲尔可能把这些人组成一个群体。这是他的优点。当年也是这么教诲咱们的。我想他会始终干到退休,他对我的职业生涯产生了重大影响,他辅助我学会打球和做人。
问:你职业生涯早期和凯尔特人一役中砍下63分,这对你提高自信有帮助吗?
是的,当你把它提到了这个高度,已经有许多媒体友人这么说了,“他是很棒,但是还达不到同龄球员例如魔术师约翰逊和大鸟伯德的成就”。在那场比赛以后,我赢得了伯德的器重,对我来说,那会我已经走在了成为一个更好球员的准确途径上。固然我失掉了高分,但却输掉了那场比赛。但他给了我自信,那是一个我那种程度球员所需要的自负。那时,这可能是对我来说最大的激励。
乔丹和罗宾逊
K.C. Johnson
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Give Hall of Fame officials credit for this. Despite a stellar 2009 class that includes David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer, Michael Jordan’s question-and-answer session at Friday morning’s news conference lasted far longer than the others.
Here are the highlights:
Q: Who did Mike want to be like?
My father probably. As you can see, I have a strong resemblance of him. I could not avoid that, without a doubt. If everybody wants to be like Mike, I’m pretty sure that starts with a haircut and suntan. I’m just happy to be myself, no matter how you look at it.
Q: What’s your favorite basketball related moment?
That’s so hard. That’s like asking which one of your kids is your best kid. I’ve had so many great accomplishments, so many spectacular plays, big plays, game-winning shots. It’s hard for me to pick one. If I started with 1982 at UNC, I could end with the shot in Utah or playing on the Dream Team, playing baseball. Although you guys don’t consider that to be successful I do. There are so many that it would be too difficult to pick out one. I’m just happy with everything.
Q: What would you say to Chicago fans?
That’s my second home. I still live there. A lot of people don’t think I still live there, but I do. For what they have given me, starting with Jonathan Kovler and Rod Thorn, who actually drafted me and took this kid who had never been to a big city at all. It was my first time being away from home. UNC from Wilmington is only 2.5 hours so I wasn’t really away. But they took me in. And I had to earn my keep. They believed in me. I believed in them. That marriage lasted up until now. I will always, always have the deepest warmth for the city of Chicago and the support I’ve received from them. Other than what I’ve done, I can’t give back any more. And I wouldn’t ask for any more. I just want them to be able to remember the things I contributed to the city. And hopefully at some point down the road, they can have another championship just so they can compare the two. I wouldn’t be standing here without their support without a doubt.
Q: Can you talk about the rivalry with the Utah Jazz and was John Stockton the dirtiest player in the league?
I wouldn’t say Stockton was the dirtiest player in the league. I can name a few others. You can say dirty. I say he’s a tough, hard-nosed type of guy who played with every inch of his body physically and mentally. For us to beat them twice, I think says a lot about our team. Because they were a great, great team. They easily could’ve beat us twice. It was great competition between the two teams. Those guys—Stockton, Malone, Coach Sloan—represented what Utah was all about. They were great adversaries. I enjoyed competing against them. They raised my level of competition to the highest levels. The fortunate part is I ended up on top a couple of times.
Q: What would your late father James be thinking today?
He’d probably like to be standing here answering all your questions. He loved to speak for me. I think now he understands I’m a grown person. I’ve learned from him. He taught me well. If he was here today, I’m pretty sure he’d be living it up. And I think he’d be very proud of what I’ve done over my career and the choices that I’ve made, good and bad. It’s like any Father: He would probably have a face of elation and joy about things I’ve achieved in my career. He is here in spirit; I know that. When you see me, you see him, you see my Mother and my brothers and sisters. I represent my whole family. I’m sure they’re as proud as I am to be standing here in the Hall of Fame, enjoying this weekend.
Q: How do you react to being called The Greatest?
People say I was the greatest ever to play to the game. I cringe a little bit. I receive it as an opinion. But for me personally, I never played against Jerry West. I never played against Elgin Baylor. I never played against Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah, I would’ve loved to. But to say I’m better than those people is not for me to decide. I’m happy for the accomplishments and what people might say. But just to be a part of that debate is a privilege. But I would never give myself that type of accolade because I never competed against everybody in this Hall of Fame.
Q: What are your early memories of the Bulls?
When I first got to Chicago, they weren’t doing well. The only way we could go was up. We couldn’t go further down. I came from a prestigious university that was built on winning. So my attitude was to do whatever I could to help this team win. And the level of winning changed over the years. At that time winning for us was getting into the playoffs. And once we got into the playoffs, it was getting past the first round. And then it was getting to the Eastern Conference finals. And then getting to the Finals. That road happened over a period of time. We changed players, got better ones. Not to say the players when I first got there were bad. It’s just I felt we needed chemistry to change and it did over a period of years. Management did a good job of changing the personnel. We went through three coaches. Doug Collins made a big impact of trying to put together a unique team that could compete for a championship. And then Phil came in and finished it off. And I think the city has to be proud. It’s known as a hard-working environment and that happened with the Bulls. And once we got on top, we didn’t want to relinquish that. I’m glad I was a part of that. I came in when there were 6,000 people in the stands. And most of the people that were coming towards the end of my career were there when the building was selling out every single night. I didn’t want them to misunderstand where the Bulls came from and how hard the fight was to get there. So I was a little more animated and strong-voiced at the end. My teammates, if they can ever say anything about me, it was that we won. I remember having a conversation with Tex Winter, who was an unbelievable coach. I remember one game coming off the floor and I had scored like 20 points in a row to win the game. Tex reminded me there’s no “I” in team. I looked back and Tex and said, “There’s an “I” in win. So which way do you want it?”
Q: What do you think of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James?
I see some resemblance. That’s the evolution of basketball. When I was coming up, it was always comparisons to Dr. J. I was a big Walter Davis fan. Obviously you guys know my relationship with David Thompson. How can you not see a resemblance of yourself in Kobe Bryant and LeBron James? They’re going to be fun. But don’t be a rush to try to find the next Michael Jordan. There’s not going to be another Michael Jordan. I say that in a way that times are different, the games are different, the desire to have that type of player is different. People are constantly trying to find the next Michael Jordan. First of all, you didn’t find me. I just happened to come along. And the next thing you know, here I am. So you didn’t have to find me. And you won’t have to find that next person. It’s going to happen. And I’m pretty sure you guys are going to recognize it. If you haven’t already, in due time you’ll know. And I think those guys have strong potential to be better than Michael Jordan down the road. They’re going to create their own name, their own persona. So just give it time.
Q: Have you talked to Phil Jackson about being in the Hall together and what was his influence on your career?
I haven’t talked to Phil. You know he’s one of those elusive guys. I don’t know if he’s Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota. I don’t know where he is right now. Phil is one of those guys who when it was announced in March that I was going to be in the Hall of Fame, he already had a tape ready saying congratulations. And that was seven months ago. You never know what to expect from Phil. He challenged me. He challenged me at times I needed to be challenged. Mentally, he made me expand my outlook about the game, my perception of my teammates and what to expect from them. He put me in difficult positions in dealing with other players such as Dennis Rodman, but I was able to come around. That was a great learning experience for me. He’s very deserving to be in the Hall of Fame. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s still successful with the Lakers. Because I think his makeup is taking personalities and blending those personalities together. The basketball talent was already there. I think you guys realize that before Phil got to the Lakers, they had the same personnel. It’s amazing when he got there how successful that personnel became because he was able to blend those personalities together. That’s his strong point. He did it for us. I would imagine he’s going to continue doing it until he gets tired. He impacted my career. He helped me improve as a player and person.
Q: Did your 63-point game against the Celtics early in your career help your confidence moving forward?
Yep. When you look at it up to that point, there were so many media guys saying, ‘He’s good. But he’s not in the same class as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.’ After that game, I earned Larry Bird’s respect. To me, that says I was on the right track in terms of becoming a better player. Not the points that I scored because at the end of the day, we lost the game. But he gave me the type of confidence that I needed at that level from a player. That to me was the biggest compliment I had to that time.
