永遠的黑曼巴 Kobe Bryant 🏀

Even if you’re not a basketball fan, you’d have to be living under a rock not to know who Kobe Bryant is. Michael Jordan may be the GOAT, but Kobe, also known by the nickname Black Mamba, is almost as famous.
即使你不迷籃球，你也一定得要與世隔絕，才可能沒聽過柯比布萊恩。麥可喬登是史上最偉大的籃球員，但綽號黑曼巴的柯比也是不分軒輊。

Born in Philadephia, Kobe spent a lot of his childhood in Italy, where his father, Joe Bryant, played professional basketball after retiring from the NBA. Returning to the U.S. fluent in Italian—and basketball—at the age of 13, Kobe played so well in high school that he was drafted into the NBA straight out of high school.
柯比出生於費城，父親喬布萊恩從 NBA 退休之後就一直在義大利打職籃，所以他童年時期幾乎都待在義大利。13 歲時，柯比帶著一口流利的義大利語跟籃球技術返回美國。由於他在高中籃球打得非常好，在高中就直接被選入 NBA。

Kobe joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a shooting guard in 1996, and would stay with the team for his entire 20-season career. And what a career it was! During that time, he led the Lakers to five NBA championships, played in 18 All-Star games, was a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team, 2008 NBA MVP, and two-time NBA Finals MVP winner. He even won two gold medals as a member of the U.S. national team in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics.
柯比在 1996 年加入洛杉磯湖人隊，擔任得分後衛，整個 20 年職業生涯皆效力於湖人隊。真是了不起！這段期間他帶領湖人隊拿下 5 次 NBA 總冠軍，入選 18 場全明星賽，15 次 NBA 最佳陣容，12 次最佳防守陣容，2008 年 NBA MVP，2 次 NBA 總決賽 MVP 得主。他甚至分別在 2008 年與 2012 年的夏季奧運中，以美國國家代表隊的成員贏得兩次奧運金牌。

After a series of injuries, Kobe decided to retire from the NBA in 2016 at the age of 36. But Kobe didn’t just spend his retirement playing golf. He kept busy writing books, making films and teaching his daughter Gianna, also a talented basketball player, to follow in his footsteps. And then, on January 26, 2020, tragedy struck. The helicopter that Kobe and Gianna were flying in—along with six family friends—crashed on the way to a basketball game, killing everyone on board. Kobe was 41-years-old, and his daughter just 13.
經歷一連串的職業傷害後，柯比決定在 36 歲，也就是 2016 年，從 NBA退役。不過，柯比退役之後不是只打高爾夫球而已。他忙著出書、拍片，並教育跟他同樣是天才球員的女兒吉安娜跟上他的腳步。接著在 2020 年 1 月 26 日，悲劇發生。柯比、吉安娜，連同 6 位家人朋友，搭乘前往籃球比賽的直升機墜毀，無人生還。當時柯比 41 歲，他的女兒年僅 13 歲。

LeBron James is going home, great day for sports and NBA fans. He made the right decision.

LeBron's thoughts on returning home.

"Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I’m their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.

Remember when I was sitting up there at the Boys & Girls Club in 2010? I was thinking, This is really tough. I could feel it. I was leaving something I had spent a long time creating. If I had to do it all over again, I’d obviously do things differently, but I’d still have left. Miami, for me, has been almost like college for other kids. These past four years helped raise me into who I am. I became a better player and a better man. I learned from a franchise that had been where I wanted to go. I will always think of Miami as my second home. Without the experiences I had there, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing today.

I went to Miami because of D-Wade and CB. We made sacrifices to keep UD. I loved becoming a big bro to Rio. I believed we could do something magical if we came together. And that’s exactly what we did! The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys. I’ve talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished. We are brothers for life. I also want to thank Micky Arison and Pat Riley for giving me an amazing four years.

I’m doing this essay because I want an opportunity to explain myself uninterrupted. I don’t want anyone thinking: He and Erik Spoelstra didn’t get along. … He and Riles didn’t get along. … The Heat couldn’t put the right team together. That’s absolutely not true.

I’m not having a press conference or a party. After this, it’s time to get to work.

When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn’t had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what’s most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.

I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.

To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?

I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can’t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.

But this is not about the roster or the organization. I feel my calling here goes above basketball. I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I’m from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there’s no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get.

In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.

I’m ready to accept the challenge. I’m coming home."

Now the Philadelphia 76ers -- not the Los Angeles Lakers -- can talk sweep.

If they dare.

"We might have shocked a lot of people. I don't think we shocked ourselves," Tyrone Hill said after the Allen Iverson-led 76ers beat the Lakers 107-101 in overtime Wednesday night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

It appeared the Lakers would extend their winning streak to 20 when they scored the first five points of overtime, but the 76ers scored 13 of the game's final 15 points, including seven straight by Iverson.

"You get down five in the Finals against the Lakers and everybody's got their brooms out," Iverson said. "That drives us.

"Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there. Some people got their feelings hurt. I'm glad nobody bet their life on it, because they definitely would be dead right now."

Clearly relishing his first appearance in the Finals, Iverson was incredible for the first 2 1/2 quarters, scoring 38 points as the 76ers took a 73-58 lead.

The Lakers inserted seldom-used Tyronn Lue at that point -- a player who imitated Iverson in practice earlier in the week, all the way to wearing a bogus protective sleeve on his right arm.

Guarded by the speedy Lue most of the rest of the way, Iverson scored only three points until his flurry in overtime gave the 76ers a 103-99 lead with 48.2 seconds left and, as it turned out, enough points for the victory.

"We're one up. The sweep isn't going to happen and we just have to do whatever we can to stay in it," said 76ers coach Larry Brown, in the Finals for the first time in his 18-year NBA coaching career.

Game 2 will be played Friday night at STAPLES Center before the best-of-seven series moves to Philadelphia for Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 5.

The Lakers entered the Finals as overwhelming favorites. And why not? They hadn't lost since April 1, winning 19 straight games including 11 to begin the playoffs, inspiring many to call them one of the best teams in NBA history.

That still might be the case; remember the 1991 Finals, when the Lakers won Game 1 in Chicago before the Bulls won four straight for the first of their six championships in the 1990s?

Lakers coach Phil Jackson certainly does, having coached the Bulls to those six titles, but that's certainly the furthest thing from his mind right now.

"Yeah, the streak was great, and now it's time to get back to business about playing ball here in this series," Jackson said. "I'm kind of relieved it's over in some ways."

The raucous STAPLES Center crowd began chanting "SWEEP, SWEEP," even before Game 1 began, and the Lakers looked the part by scoring 16 straight points early on for an 18-5 lead.

The 76ers obviously weren't fazed, closing within one point by the end of the quarter and taking a 56-50 halftime lead.

The Lakers took their only lead of the fourth quarter on a dunk by Shaquille O'Neal with 1:57 left, but Snow scored the final points of regulation 19 seconds later.

Vilified when he left and celebrated when he returned, LeBron James had spent the past two seasons lugging his city’s championship dreams like a bag of rocks. The weight had only grown more cumbersome — the weight of history, of disappointment, of missed opportunities.

James could feel it all on his sturdy shoulders.

On Sunday night, before a dazed and defeated crowd at Oracle Arena, James delivered on the grandest stage of his superhuman career, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship in franchise history with a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the N.B.A. finals.

“I came back for a reason,” James said. “I came back to bring a championship to our city.”

James collected 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to punctuate one of the most remarkable individual performances in finals history. James, who was named the finals’ most valuable player, got ample help from his teammate Kyrie Irving, whose 3-pointer with 53 seconds remaining gave the Cavaliers the lead — and an improbable title.

Improbable because the Cavaliers became the first team to rally from a 3-1 series deficit to win a championship. Improbable because the Warriors, after setting an N.B.A. record with 73 victories in the regular season, had spent months making the case that they were the most dominant team since Dr. James Naismith first affixed a peach basket to a wall.

And improbable, above all, because of Cleveland’s ragtag history as an also-ran. Not since 1964, when the Browns won the N.F.L. championship, had the city claimed a major sports title.

James, who grew up in nearby Akron, has forever changed all of that. He stuffed the series with thunderous dunks and fadeaway jumpers, blocked shots and glowering expressions, towing his teammates along in his ferocious wake. James won two championships with the Miami Heat, but this was his first with the Cavaliers — and his first for Ohio.

Not even the Warriors, who were pursuing back-to-back championships in a repeat of last year’s finals matchup, could slow his march.
