詹姆斯:喬丹無論球場商場都影響我
Michael Jordan's impact on LeBron James the basketball player is obvious. Look no further than the No. 23 James wears across his chest during games in homage to "His Airness."
顯而易見，邁克爾·喬丹深深影響了勒布朗·詹姆斯這樣的籃球運動員。看看他後背上的23號球衣號碼，已經是在向“飛人”致敬。Jordan's impact on James the businessman might not be as readily apparent, but he has also been influential on "The Chosen One" in that aspect of life.
在商業投資方面，這種影響還不太明顯，但“天選之子”也承認在生活的這一方面受到了喬丹的影響。"He's done it as well as anyone can do it as far as present career and post, so you're always kind of watching," James said before the Cleveland Cavaliers' Friday morning shootaround ahead of their game against Jordan's Charlotte Hornets. "And it'd be great for anyone who can come in and own a ballclub, that would be pretty cool stuff, and also his brand, it continues to make an impact. So it's pretty awesome to see what he's still able to do after being away from the game for so long."
“無論是在球員時期和還是退役後，他都非常成功，他的故事我們都看在眼裏，”在週五騎士與喬丹老闆的夏洛特黃蜂隊比賽的投籃訓練前，詹姆斯這樣說道。“無論任何人，能夠擁有一支球隊都是很棒的事情，非常酷，而且他還有自己的品牌，能夠不斷產生影響。他在離開賽場後，還可以繼續做這麼多事情，實在令人印象深刻。”
Jordan purchased the Hornets in February 2010, becoming the first former NBA player to become the principal owner of a team. Since then, other former players have followed suit -- notably Shaquille O'Neal with the Sacramento Kings and Grant Hill with the Atlanta Hawks -- albeit in a minority capacity.
2010年，喬丹成爲黃蜂隊的老闆，成爲首位負責一支NBA球隊的前NBA球員。隨後，奧尼爾成爲國王的小股東，格蘭特-希爾也成爲了老鷹隊的老闆之一。James has already ventured into the realm of controlling a professional sports team, just not an NBA one. In 2011, James received a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, a soccer franchise in the English Premier League that was valued by Forbes at more than $980 million in May 2015.
詹姆斯也已投資了一支職業球隊，只不過不是NBA球隊。2011年他成爲了英超利物浦俱樂部的小股東。據2015年5月福布斯官網預估，這支球隊的市場價值超過了9億8千萬美金。The Cavaliers star, who turns 31 in December, figures to have at least of handful of seasons remaining in his playing career and did not want to entertain the question of whether he aspires to follow in Jordan's footsteps and own an NBA team.
今年12月份，這位騎士隊的當家球星就將年滿31歲，當被問到未來是否會追隨喬丹的腳步成爲一支NBA球隊的老闆時，詹姆斯表示他的運動員生涯至少還會有好幾個賽季，現在還沒有考慮那麼多。"I'm not there," James said. "I'm not there right now."
“我沒考慮過”。詹姆斯說，“現在還不是考慮的時候”。
