詹皇深情告白韋德

King James: Was a great week of work with my Dog @dwyanewade!! Push each other until the wheels fall off Brother! Winter is coming and it's never felt so good. Season 15 of this show begins soon.

詹皇：這星期與我的兄弟韋德一起訓練得非常棒。我們互相激勵，直到我們再也走不動。冬季快到了，我從未試過這麼開心。因爲第十五個賽季就要開始了。

Dwyane Wade: "Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give" To say we had a great week of work would be an understatement. We both helped push each other to go outside of our comfort zones.

韋德：“你的偉大不是你擁有什麼，而是你奉獻了什麼”我們剛剛度過的這一週進行了超棒的訓練。我們彼此激勵，走出自己舒服的區域（個人喜好的得分，投籃區域或方式）。

Then: James was something of a controversial pick as the top player in #NBArank in 2011, fresh off a disappointing performance in the 2011 Finals (where he'd averaged just 15.3 PPG on 44 percent shooting in the Heat's losses in Games 4-6). But the panel looked past those three games to James' overall body of work, where he'd been the NBA's leader in player efficiency rating, win shares, box plus-minus and VORP in 2010-11.

當時：作爲#2011年NBA球員排名榜的頂尖球員，詹姆斯在2011年做出了極具爭議的選擇。在2011年的總決賽打出少有的令人失望的表現。（他在熱火隊輸掉的第四場至第六場比賽中，投籃命中率44%，場均只有15.3分）但專家回顧詹姆斯在那三場比賽的全面的表現，他在2011年NBA球員效率值，勝利貢獻值，統計表正負值和球員與可替換球員的絕對價值差都領跑全聯盟。

Now:The ultimate model of consistency and excellence, James has never relinquished his top spot in #NBArank. He won two more MVP trophies in Miami to go along with two titles, then returned to Cleveland where he led the Cavaliers to their first NBA championship. Even as James has paced himself in the regular season — leading to him slipping in the annual MVP vote — he's still widely recognized as the league's best player, and he regularly proves it in June. In 2016, he led both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in the NBA Finals, and this past June he became the first player in Finals history to average a triple-double.

現在：作爲擁有持續穩定性和卓越的終極模型，詹姆斯從未讓出在NBA排名中的頂端王位。他在邁阿密兩次獲得MVP獎盃，對得起兩次mvp的稱號。然後，他迴歸克里夫蘭，並帶領騎士贏得他們的第一個NBA總冠軍。甚至當詹姆斯限制自己在常規賽的速度—- 放棄在年度MVP的選票—-他仍廣泛地被認爲是聯盟最強球員，而且在2016年的6月，他不斷地證明着這一點，總決賽期間，他的得分，籃板，助攻，蓋帽和搶斷領跑隊內。在已經過去的六月。他成爲歷史上第一個在總決賽場均三雙的球員。

Last season, LeBron James finished outside the top three in MVP voting for the first time since 2008. The previous two years, he finished third. It now has been four seasons since he last added an MVP trophy to his case.

上個賽季，勒布朗·詹姆斯第一次自2008年後排在MVP票選前三之外。在過去的兩年間，他終結了三次。而自從他上一次將MVP獎盃收入懷中之後，現已經過去四個賽季了。

Of course, he has played in the NBA Finals all four of those years. Because at this stage in his career, about to start his 15th season, the postseason is all he cares about. He sets his entire year up around peaking in April, May and June.

當然，他在過去的四年中都打過總決賽。因爲在他生涯的這個階段，即將開始他的第十五個賽季，季後賽纔是他所正在在乎的。他會在這一年的4月，5月，6月讓自己處於巔峯狀態。

That's why James, despite his slipping in the regular-season award voting, is No. 1 in ESPN's #NBArank for a seventh consecutive season. No one else has ever held the spot.

這就是爲什麼詹姆斯不在乎自己脫離常規賽獎項的票選，卻連續7年登頂ESPN#NBA球員排名的原因。

Over the past several years, James has dialed back his intensity in the regular season, especially in the early months. He has taken more games off to rest. This as his competitors for the league's highest honors, especially Russell Westbrook and James Harden, have been voracious in their pursuit of regular-season dominance.

在過去的幾年裏，尤其是近幾個月，詹姆斯無法恢復到過去常規賽那種高強度狀態。他已放棄更多比賽以獲喘息的機會。這時他的競爭者門就爭得聯盟最高的榮譽，特別是拉塞爾·威斯布魯克和詹姆斯·哈登，他們正飢渴地追趕着常規賽的統治者地位。

It's an impressive form of pacing, he averaged career highs in rebounds (8.6) and assists (8.7) last season while averaging the most points (26.4) in three years. But it's pacing nonetheless.

他的減速讓人印象深刻，他生涯場均籃板（8.6），助攻（8.7）都很高，然而上個賽季他達到過去三年間最高的場均得分（26.4）。即便如此，他依舊在放緩自己的速度。
