Long before there was Jeremy Lin, another Ivy League basketball star was the
talk of the NBA – Bill Bradley, who helped lead the New York Knicks to two
championships during a Hall of Fame basketball career that predated his time
in the Senate.


For a “Top Line” interview this week, we asked Bradley for his take on “
Linsanity,” a huge sports story this year that turned the Knicks – briefly
– into the buzz of the NBA when the Harvard-educated Lin became a breakout
star, before an injury ended his season early.

本週的「頭條」訪談節目中，我們訪問了Bradley對於林來瘋的的看法。
出身哈佛的林書豪竄起成為風雲人物，是本年度體壇最大驚奇，
在他受傷提前結束賽季之前，也曾讓尼克在NBA領一時風騷。

The lesson of Lin for the Knicks, Bradley said, is that there should be more
players like him.

Bradley說林書豪給尼克上的一課是，像他這樣的球員越多越好。

“There has to be a decision made to draft character not statistics, and do
that for three or four years,” said Bradley, who led Princeton to a Final
Four in 1965, then played for the Knicks from 1967 to 1977.

「選秀的時候要看人格特質而不是只看數據，而且這樣的決策至少要持續三、四年。」
Bradley在1965年率領普林斯頓打進NCAA最後四強，在1967-1977年間效力於尼克隊。

“I think Jeremy Lin is a really interesting player. He had 15 or 20 good
games before he was injured. He has to be on a team though that moves without
the ball so he can be at his best,” Bradley added.

「我認為林書豪是個非常有意思的球員。他在受傷前打了15到20場的好比賽。
他必須在一支願意無球跑動的隊伍，才能得到最大的發揮。」Bradley補充道。

He concluded with a  lesson about basketball that may be applicable to
politics.

他最後下了一個結論，同樣適用於籃球與政治。

“If he is on a team where they hold it down and play people one-on-one, then
he is not going to be able to maximize his contribution to the team, and the
team is not going to win a championship.”

「如果身處一支缺乏流動、人人單打獨鬥的隊伍，那他將無法展現長才、
為團隊帶來最大貢獻，而這支隊伍也無法贏得總冠軍。」
