霍華德講述他和科比，哈登，魔術隊的故事

回到家鄉對你來說意味著什麼？

我一直想為老鷹隊打球並代表我的家鄉出戰。我們能在此成就一番事業。從我進入NBA以來老鷹隊對我就非比尋常。

如果能重來，你願意去先讀大學嗎？

不可能。我認為直接進入NBA是我做過最棒的決定。我並不後悔。我沒什麼好遺憾的，因為在任何情況下你都要把歷練看作財富而不是損失。你要永遠保持虔誠。

在2013年，你本可以作為自由球員直接加盟老鷹，但你選擇了離開湖人來到火箭。為什麼你不直接簽約老鷹呢？

我覺得時機沒有成熟。我一直想來到這裡。這很棒，但那時我覺得去休斯頓可以有所突破。

在湖人時很混亂，那時的火箭也經常爆出大消息。但在亞特蘭大，沒怎麼聽到你的聲音。是不是在家鄉球隊老鷹你的精神更加輕鬆了呢？

從奧蘭多出走後，我從沒有真正說出在那裡發生了什麼，以及我想要離開的願意。畢竟人們更願意說 「嘿他什麼都沒說，那我們就替他編個故事來來講講在洛杉磯發生的事情，來講講他和科比的事情和他關於哈登的矛盾。」我和他們並沒有深仇大恨。但人們說起來好像我總會和隊伍里的另一個超級明星有矛盾。

我從來沒說過」好吧，我覺得這困擾了我所以我來澄清事實。「 但所有人都去編故事。好在亞特蘭大沒有什麼流言蜚語。

所以那時的真相到底是什麼？

我真的不願意再回想那時的事。在奧蘭多發生的事情和人們講的大相徑庭。在停擺結束的那個賽季，我私下裡問他們，我甚至和尼爾森以及經歷Otis Smith說起：」嘿，我覺得生活應該改變了。這和大范甘迪沒關係。這和其他魔術球員沒關係。這和魔術隊沒有關係。我只是過得太舒服，覺得是時候在人生以及職業生涯上取得新的突破了。

這和球隊沒有關係。他們說球隊想要交易我。我覺得這一點是對的。有一條他們推門進來說「我們要交易你」他們握住我的手說「上帝保佑你，你在這裡八年一直做的很棒。」他們讓我去和隊友告別。我就去告訴隊友我要被交易了。第二天我起床他們又說「我們不準備交易你了」

這就是2011年停擺之後的事情。我應該在訓練營開始前被交易。我讓他們交易我去布魯克林並且我以為我馬上就要去了。但他們突然又說不交易我了，一切都變得很糟。人們說我應該在更衣室做這做那。但我不是這樣的人，我告訴我的經紀人 「聽著，他們想要我留下，那我就留到賽季結束再做決定。我們不要迂迴不定，先不談這些」

我們就這麼做了，但每天的媒體都能編出新的故事。我是個信守承諾的人。我一直在想怎麼帶領球隊贏球。

那你覺得上賽季在火箭的日子怎麼樣呢？

我並不覺得我們應該鬧得這麼僵。我覺得在休斯頓我們做得不錯。我們20年後再次進到了西部決賽，這是很棒的成就因為沒人指望我們能做到。我和哈登之間只是溝通的小問題。我們讓別人去說而不是面對面的解決問題，這就是溝通出現扭曲的原因。

但就像我總說的，我和哈登沒有個人問題。為什麼？因為他現在在做的所有事以及他將取得的成就，我曾經也是這樣現象級的球員。所有的榮譽，褒獎。我不是去那裡和他競爭的，我是去和他一起取得勝利的。

你覺得哈登這賽季怎麼樣？

他這賽季令人難以置信。我真為他的成長而驕傲。人們以前說他做不到的地方，他現在都能做到。他是隊伍的領袖。他們讓他打控位。他合理的運轉分配球。他的投籃質量很高。他總是試圖走上罰球線。他在雷霆的時候我就覺得他有這樣的能力，我一直認為他是名很棒的球員。

你和科比的談話如何呢？

我還沒和他談話。。我們之間從來沒有問題。我和他的談話和其他人包括納什的談話是一模一樣的。我想向他們學習。我想能學到盡量多的知識。總有一天他們都離開了聯盟而我還在打，我可以向其他球員分享經驗使之延續下去。我和科比之間從來沒有問題。

What does being home in Atlanta mean to you?

I』ve always wanted to play in Atlanta and represent my hometown team. We can do something special here. This team has always been close to my heart even while being in the NBA.

If you could have done it over, would you have gone to college first?

No. Not at all. I think it is the best decision. I don』t have any regrets. There is nothing I have regrets about, because each situation you got to look at as a blessing instead of a failure or a loss. You have to always have that mindset.

In 2013, you could have signed with the Hawks as a free agent, but instead you left the Lakers for the Rockets. Why didn』t you sign with Atlanta then?

I don』t think it was the right time. I always had dreams about coming here. It could have been great, but I looked at the Houston situation as something that could』ve been really special.

L.A. was chaos. Houston at times was chaos. But in Atlanta, you don"t hear anything. Do you feel more mentally relaxed now at home with the Hawks?

After the situation in Orlando, I never really came out and said my side of the story about what was going on there while I was there and the reasons for me wanting to leave. After that, people just decided that, he"s not going to talk about it, so we might as well come up with a narrative and what we think went on in L.A. and what went on with Kobe [Bryant] and what we think happened with James [Harden].』 I never had a personal vendetta with either one of those guys. People took it as me having a problem with them being on a team with another superstar.

I』ve never been the one to say, 『OK, I want to talk about this because it was an issue with me.』 But everyone else kind of made it a storyline. And here in Atlanta, there is no storyline.

So what is the truth about the past?

I really hate going back with it. There were a lot of different things that happened in Orlando that people never talked about. Before the season even started during the lockout, I asked them privately, I even talked to [teammate] Jameer [Nelson] and [then-general manager] Otis [Smith] and I said, 『Hey, I just want a change in my life. It has nothing to do with [then-coach] Stan Van Gundy. This has nothing to do with the players here in Orlando. It has nothing to do with Orlando itself.』 I just felt I was too comfortable and I wanted more for myself and more for basketball.

It had nothing to do with the team. They said they were going to try to move me. I thought it was going to happen. They came in and said, 『We』re going to trade you.』 They shook my hand and said, 『God bless you. You were here for eight years and you did a great job.』 They asked me to go shake my teammates" hands. I went and shook their hands and told them that the team was going to trade me. I woke up the next day and they said, 『We』re not going to trade you.』

This was right after the [2011 NBA] lockout. I was supposed to get traded right before training camp. I had asked them to trade me to Brooklyn and I thought that was going to happen. They decided they weren』t going to trade me and that was when all hell broke loose. People said I was doing this in the locker room, doing that. But I』ve never been that kind of guy. I told my agent, 『Listen, they want me here, so I will just stay here until the end of the season and I』ll make a decision after that. Let"s not fight it. Let"s not go back and forth. Let"s not talk about it.』

And we did that. But every day in the media it was a different story. I was the type of person where I』m not going to focus on what is being said. I』m going to focus on winning and trying to win for this team while I』m here.

How would you describe the end with Houston last season?

I don』t think it ended the way it should have. I thought in my time in Houston we did some really good things. For us to go to the Western Conference finals after not being there for 20 years, that』s a great accomplishment because nobody expected us to do that. The issues they say happened between me and James were small communication issues. Instead of us coming together and talking about it, we allowed other people to do talking. The lines of communication were twisted.

But like I』ve always said, I』ve never had a personal issue with James. Why? Everything he is doing now, everything he is coming into, I』ve been that player. The awards, all that, the accolades. I wasn』t there to try to compete against him. I wanted to win with him.

What kind of season do you think Harden is having now?

He』s having an unbelievable season. I』m really proud of his growth. A lot of the areas that people talked about him not doing, he』s doing it now. He』s been a great leader for the team. They switched him to the point guard position. He』s facilitating the ball really well. He』s shooting at a high clip. He』s always going to get to the free throw line. I』ve seen that in James since he played at OKC. I always thought highly of James as a player.

Have you spoken to Kobe?

I haven』t … There was never an issue with me and him. The same thing I told him is the same thing I told Steve Nash and every one of those guys. I want to learn from them. I want to take as much knowledge as I can from y』all. One day when y』all out the league and I』m still playing, I can give that knowledge to somebody else and I can keep this thing going. I』ve never had an issue with [Bryant].

Everything he is doing now, everything he is coming into, I』ve been that player. The awards, all that, the accolades.

I like that part lol, idk whether it"s crazy or true though. Dwight was phenomenal....

「因為他現在在做的事和他將取得的成就。我也曾是這樣現象級的球員。所有的榮譽和褒獎。」

我很喜歡這段嘿嘿嘿，我不知道這是真的還是假的。霍華德曾經真的無解。

It"s true, Dwight could have won MVP in 2009

這是真的，霍華德在2009年本可以得到MVP.

[–]dumbrich23 76 指標 4 天前

2011 as well

還有2011年

[–]heej 43 指標 4 天前

Revisionist history says Rose stole it from Lebron, but at the time I thought Dwight got robbed that season.

人們現在常說羅斯從詹姆斯那裡偷了MVP,但那賽季我認為霍華德才是被搶劫的那個。

[–]CavaliersNewRedditKid 21 指標 4 天前

I thought LeBron deserved it more than Rose in a way, but I definitely remember feeling like Dwight got robbed. He was a legitimate two way superstar.

我覺得詹姆斯比羅斯更配MVP，但我也清楚地記得霍華德被搶劫了。他在攻防兩端都是超級巨星。

[–]YesWeighNoWeigh 86 指標 4 天前

Tl;dr on Kobe and Harden part, everyone made a storyline up about two superstars feuding and I never said anything about it. I never had an issue with either one.

科比哈登那塊，太長不看，每個人都會編造兩個超級明星之間的矛盾，但我從不說什麼。我覺得兩人都沒問題。

[–]LakersTim__Donaghy 14 指標 4 天前

So, what"s the narrative surrounding him and Kobe clearing not liking each other last season? There was definitely tension between them.

所以關於他和科比之間的互相不喜歡難道是編出來的？很明顯他們之間有矛盾。

[–]SpursPapa_Huggies 7 指標 4 天前

I see Draymond lay it into Durant and Durant doesn"t really like it but I don"t think he harbors any ill will towards Draymond. Maybe that"s what it"s like?

我看到格林怒噴杜蘭特而杜蘭特明顯不喜歡這樣，但我不認為杜蘭特會回擊格林。可能這和霍華德科比很類似？

[–]LakersTim__Donaghy 14 指標 4 天前

Na, I think there"s more to it than that. It looks like he calls Kobe a pussy and Kobe can clearly be seen calling him soft and telling him to try something.

Dwight clearly lied about things on Orlando while still in Orlando. There"s even that video of SVG being interviewed about his job security and Dwight walks in acting like he hadn"t shit talked the man.

不，我認為比這更複雜。很明顯他在罵科比是個慫貨，而科比清楚地說他軟並告訴他「來試試我啊」

霍華德在魔術時很明顯撒了謊。那時有個視頻是大范甘迪在被採訪關於他可能被炒，霍華德走進來卻是一副從來沒有說過他壞話的樣子。

[–]king_0325 11 指標 4 天前

I think it happened the other way around. Stan said Dwight wanted him fired then Dwight showed up and put his arm around stan.

我覺得真實情況恰好相反。大范甘迪說霍華德想炒掉他，然後霍華德站出來摟住了他。

Ive always really liked Dwight despite all the weird media drama that surrounded him. I worked at the Amway Center in 2010 and Dwight was a god there. I was bummed when he left Orlando with all that drama surrounding him but I didnt hate him for it. Dwight seems like hes having a good time a lot, hes just a goofy dude that can dominate. I think hes found a really good fit with Atlanta and I hope he stays there for a while.

我一直很喜歡霍華德，儘管他身邊總是有媒體造出的很多故事。2010年我在安利中心工作，那時霍華德就像神一樣。當他發生了這麼多鬧劇並且離開，我覺得很吃驚，但我從不恨他。霍華德看上去很享受快樂籃球，他就是一個能一邊傻笑一邊統治比賽的人。我覺得他在老鷹過得不錯我希望他能在那裡待下去。

[–]Rocketsscrewt 26 指標 4 天前

I"ve never disliked him, even at the end of his Orlando days.. Fairly sure Harden never had a problem with Dwight either, just didn"t fit well together.

我從未不喜歡他，甚至他魔術隊的末期也是。我很清楚哈登和霍華德沒有問題，他們只是不搭而已。

[–]Heatclear831 8 指標 4 天前

I totally agree. Anyone that plays pickup games should agree also. There are always a few players that you just dont fit well with, its not that they are bad people its just that their games dont fit.

我完全同意。每個打過比賽的人都會同意。總有一些球員和你不搭，並不是因為他們人不好，只是因為風格不搭。

[–]Raptorsjps78 25 指標 4 天前*

Am I about to like Dwight again? Is it 2010??

難道我要重新喜歡上霍華德？我穿越到2010年了？

In his documentary on Netflix I remember him saying that he was upset when they traded Courtney Lee and Hedo turkoglu because they were his best friends. He also said something like "we just made it to the finals with this team the way it is, why would we change anything?" I had never thought about it that way and it totally changed my perspective on the whole situation. He should"ve handled that better but I can totally understand him being upset about losing his favorite teammates. That"s business I guess.

在Netflix上有他的紀錄片，我記得他說考特尼李和特科格魯被交易時他很失落，因為他們是他的好朋友。他還說一些類似於「我們剛剛進過總決賽，為什麼我們需要改變呢？」我從沒這麼想過而這完全改變了我對他們的看法。他應該更好地應對這些事但我完全理解他失去了喜愛隊友的失落。這大概就是生意吧。

[–]funk568 4 指標 4 天前

It seems like a lot of NBA players have that moment of clarity when they realize that its a business. Players like the LeBron fight it for the sake of winning championships but most guys just settle into being good players who stop buying into the team concept.

似乎很多NBA球員都說出過他們才明白這是生意。詹姆斯這樣的運動員為了冠軍打球但大部分球員只是在成為一個好球員之後就止步了，他們已經不再相信團隊這個概念了。
