LeBron (especially) and Steph really doing Silver a solid by sticking around at an elite level as faces of the league. Something interesting, especially in the US, is the death of “monoculture”. We no longer have cultural events that almost everyone participates in. Movies, shows, music, sports, etc. Everything has its own pockets that is on demand. No longer do you come into work and beg people not to talk about X show that aired last night, for example.

勒布朗（尤其是他）和库里确实帮了肖华一个大忙，他们作为联盟的门面人物，一直保持着精英级别的表现。一件有趣的事情是，尤其是在美国，“一元文化”正在消亡。我们不再有几乎所有人都参与的文化活动。电影、节目、音乐、体育等等，每件事物都有自己的小众群体，按需提供。例如，你再也不会走进办公室，恳求人们不要谈论昨晚播出的X节目。

I think the NBA goes a similar route. They won’t have the guy any more. There won’t be a face. It will just be a collection of stars that some people care about and some people don’t. But more of an aggregate of talent that keeps the NBA moving along.

我认为NBA也会走上类似的道路。他们不会再有那个人（指具有广泛影响力的联盟门面）。不会再有“脸面”人物。它将只是一群明星的集合，有些人关心，有些人不关心。但更多的是一个天赋的集合，推动着NBA前进。

my only slight gripe with this is I think Russell is the greatest Celtic ever.

i don’t really care that he wasn’t a prolific scorer, he was still a brilliant, innovative player and is the greatest, most transformative defender in the history of the sport.

我对这一点唯一的轻微抱怨是我认为拉塞尔是凯尔特人队史上最伟大的球员。

我真的不在乎他不是一位得分高手，他仍然是一位才华横溢、富有创新精神的球员，是篮球史上最伟大的、最具变革性的防守者。

*Follow-up note: I see people pointing out "talent vs achievements" and I totally get it, but what I'd like to add is that no one else in Bill's era was capable of doing what he did. I could launch into a rant about why I don't love how the whole conversation around Bill tends to start and end with "Bill was the greatest winner ever" as if he wasn't a generation-defining talent himself. He is both the greatest winner in the history of basketball and is absolutely one of the best players to ever lace 'em up.

补充说明：我看到人们在指出“天赋与成就”的问题，我完全理解，但我想补充的是，在比尔的时代，没有人能做到他所做的事。我可以开始滔滔不绝地谈论为什么我不喜欢关于比尔的整个对话往往以“比尔是有史以来最伟大的赢家”开始和结束，就好像他自己不是一个定义了时代的天才一样。他既是篮球史上最伟大的赢家，也绝对是史上最伟大的球员之一。

此外，他还是一个更伟大的人。

Jason Tatum is a really fkn great basketball player, but I just don't see him in the same stratosphere as those guys.

杰森·塔图姆真的是一个非常棒的篮球运动员，但我只是不认为他能和那些人相提并论。

Im contractually bound to hate Tatum because fuck the Celtics but all I have are the zero aura jokes because there's really nothing else I can say against this guy.

我因为痛恨凯尔特人而注定讨厌塔图姆，但我对他只能说些没有气场的笑话，因为我真的找不出其他能用来反对这个人的话。
