香珀特：詹姆斯抱团毁了篮球，这让其他球星不再追求进步

前NBA球员香珀特近日参加了沙奎尔-奥尼尔的The Big Podcast播客节目。

此前，奥尼尔曾有过“是（斯蒂芬）库里毁掉篮球比赛”的言论，而节目中谈起这个话题时，香珀特表示：“就因为这个话题我都被骂惨了。是库里毁了比赛吗？当我被问起这个话题时，我认为毁了这一切的人是勒布朗（詹姆斯）。”

“因为我觉得，如果迈克尔（乔丹）这样做了，那对其他人来说都可以这样做，说‘我要离开了，我要去另一支球队，因为我不喜欢球队老板说的话’。如果乔丹这样做，那就没有忠诚而言了，因为我们每个人差不多都想成为乔丹，对吧？”香珀特说道。

“所以，我觉得即使库里十分出色，但我仍然认为是勒布朗那样做了，当他让球星组队这件事变成真实时，这就是让其他明星球员不再去追求更多个人进步了。”香珀特如此说道。

（香珀特原文部分："The person that ruined all of this was Bron," Shumpert said. "... It's like (Michael Jordan). If Mike would have made it okay for y'all to just be like, 'Yeah, I'm leaving this team, and I'm going to another 'cause I don't like what the owners are saying'—if Mike would have did that, there would have been no loyalty.

"'Cause we all, quote-unquote, wanted to be like Mike, right?" Shumpert continued. "... I felt like Bron was the guy that did it. I felt like when Bron made it okay for people to team up, it stopped making the star player have to come back with something added to their game."）

值得一提的是，香波特曾与詹姆斯在骑士时期做过队友，二人曾携手拿到了2016年的NBA总冠军。
