科比 球迷们爱他 但队友们恨他

Young Kobe told Jerry West, "My teammates hate me" and Jerry West responded "I'd hate you too if I were your teammate."

年少时期的科比跟杰里-韦斯特说：“我的队友都讨厌我。”而韦斯特回答：“我要是你队友我也讨厌你。”

Yet when it comes to basketball Kobe is better, perhaps, than anyone who ever played, with the inevitable exception of Michael Jordan. They all know it. They know that he knows it. "Putting Kobe in the NBA–what that's like," says his teammate Brian Shaw, "Is if you put me on a high school team. I could score whenever I wanted. I could get through four guys. I'd have to decide: Do I do that because I can do it, or do I play the right way?"

在篮球方面，除了乔丹这个无可避免的例外，科比可以说比前辈都出色，这点人尽皆知。人亦知，科比亦自知。"让科比来打NBA，就像让我去打高中校队一样。我想什么时候得分就什么时候得分。我能不费吹灰之力过掉四个人。但我也需要去抉择：我是因为自己有能力就随心所欲，还是要一直做‘该做的事'？”科比的队友布莱恩-肖说。

But Kobe is not always interested in playing the right way. By his fifth year that has taken its toll. He goes one night to the home of Jerry West, the Lakers' general manager, one of the all-time greats and a man who understands that the exceptionally gifted play by a different rule book. "My teammates hate me," Kobe tells West.

但科比也不总是喜欢做‘该做的事'。在他生涯的第五个年头，这便让他付出代价了。有天晚上，他去了一个人的家。家的主人是杰里-韦斯特，时任湖人总经理，历史最伟大球员之一，他清楚这样一名天赋异禀的球员是如何无视那些条条框框的。“我的队友都讨厌我,” 科比告诉韦斯特。

"I'd hate you too," West responds, "if I were your teammate."

“如果我是你队友的话，”韦斯特答道，“我也会讨厌你。”
