永遠的黑曼巴 Kobe Bryant 🏀
Even if you’re not a basketball fan, you’d have to be living under a rock not to know who Kobe Bryant is. Michael Jordan may be the GOAT, but Kobe, also known by the nickname Black Mamba, is almost as famous.
即使你不迷籃球,你也一定得要與世隔絕,才可能沒聽過柯比布萊恩。麥可喬登是史上最偉大的籃球員,但綽號黑曼巴的柯比也是不分軒輊。
Born in Philadephia, Kobe spent a lot of his childhood in Italy, where his father, Joe Bryant, played professional basketball after retiring from the NBA. Returning to the U.S. fluent in Italian—and basketball—at the age of 13, Kobe played so well in high school that he was drafted into the NBA straight out of high school.
柯比出生於費城,父親喬布萊恩從 NBA 退休之後就一直在義大利打職籃,所以他童年時期幾乎都待在義大利。13 歲時,柯比帶著一口流利的義大利語跟籃球技術返回美國。由於他在高中籃球打得非常好,在高中就直接被選入 NBA。
Kobe joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a shooting guard in 1996, and would stay with the team for his entire 20-season career. And what a career it was! During that time, he led the Lakers to five NBA championships, played in 18 All-Star games, was a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team, 2008 NBA MVP, and two-time NBA Finals MVP winner. He even won two gold medals as a member of the U.S. national team in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics.
柯比在 1996 年加入洛杉磯湖人隊,擔任得分後衛,整個 20 年職業生涯皆效力於湖人隊。真是了不起!這段期間他帶領湖人隊拿下 5 次 NBA 總冠軍,入選 18 場全明星賽,15 次 NBA 最佳陣容,12 次最佳防守陣容,2008 年 NBA MVP,2 次 NBA 總決賽 MVP 得主。他甚至分別在 2008 年與 2012 年的夏季奧運中,以美國國家代表隊的成員贏得兩次奧運金牌。
After a series of injuries, Kobe decided to retire from the NBA in 2016 at the age of 36. But Kobe didn’t just spend his retirement playing golf. He kept busy writing books, making films and teaching his daughter Gianna, also a talented basketball player, to follow in his footsteps. And then, on January 26, 2020, tragedy struck. The helicopter that Kobe and Gianna were flying in—along with six family friends—crashed on the way to a basketball game, killing everyone on board. Kobe was 41-years-old, and his daughter just 13.
經歷一連串的職業傷害後,柯比決定在 36 歲,也就是 2016 年,從 NBA退役。不過,柯比退役之後不是只打高爾夫球而已。他忙著出書、拍片,並教育跟他同樣是天才球員的女兒吉安娜跟上他的腳步。接著在 2020 年 1 月 26 日,悲劇發生。柯比、吉安娜,連同 6 位家人朋友,搭乘前往籃球比賽的直升機墜毀,無人生還。當時柯比 41 歲,他的女兒年僅 13 歲。

今季東南亞職業籃球聯賽(ABL)新球季揭幕戰戰火在台北燃起,由ABL新球隊富邦勇士在台北和平體育館擺擂台,迎戰澳門黑熊。
至於香港東方,則於明天(27日)開季。
在正式開波前 #reporterYLK 為大家整理出球隊今季變化,替大家熱身,讓球迷們可以更投入今季的賽事。
香港東方於2016-17年開始參戰ABL,經歷三季後,東方以隊史最大幅的變革迎來第四個球季。
當中包括徹換整個教練團,辭去西班牙籍教練艾度托利斯 (Eduard Torres) ,助教Fernando Gordo,換成36歲的美籍教練白蘭特(Jordan Brady)
球員年代曾經打過NCAA,NBA 發展聯盟的Brady在2012年退役後開始擔任教練,一直擔任助教的他在2017-19年轉正,擔任NBA G-League球隊Wisconsin Herd主教練一職,今次接掌東方,是他首次離開美州執教,對於東南亞球風及亞洲球員的調動,都是值得期待的。
他在球員年代曾經跟CBA球隊交手過,所以對亞洲籃球水平有基本概念。
開季在即,在經過兩個月的磨合以及一場一場的Preseason games後,他認為東方的優勢在於球員位置分佈平均,內外線射手兼備。雖然客觀條件上球員身型比較輸蝕,但技術上比他想像中好。
本土球員中,陳兆榮、李琪及梁嘉顯三位讓他最為驚喜,如果10分是滿分,Brady對於球員在季前賽的表現給予7至8分,但他認為球員們的勤奮心態絕對是百分百滿分。Brady非常強調球員的心態很好,他認為球隊已經準備就緒,會以衝擊ABL冠軍為新球季目標。
而球隊新助教為David Kenah, 履歷表同樣是NBA G-League。
球員方面,東方三個外援名額中只有Michael Holyfield這張稍熟悉的面孔,此子上季中加盟東方,身高2米11,司職中鋒。 場均得分15.5, 籃板16.4, 封阻2.9。
後衛位置方面,戰神Marcus Elliott 出走到新加坡騰飛之獅。東方找來派斯(T.J. Price) 及基爾(Trey Kell)填補Marcus離隊的真空。
現年26歲的Price,身高196厘米,曾於2015年參與NBA選秀無功而還,為公牛打了4場夏季聯賽後亦沒有下文,於是出走法國開始職業球員生涯,16-18年為NBA魔術隊的發展聯盟球隊效力,首年是球隊的正選陣容,場均14.4分,3.1籃板,上季效力於匈牙利球會。
至於Kell現年23歲,同樣是美籍,NBA Draft觸礁後轉戰歐洲及加拿大開始職業球員生涯。
東方在正式開季前的最後一次增兵,是簽入現年27歲,身高193cm的菲律賓籍前鋒Joseph Eriobu 艾里奧比,先後效力過三支菲律賓職業籃球聯賽球隊。香港球迷應該不會陌生,因為他曾短暫效力永倫。在香港出生的他亦作本土球員論。
東方的隱藏角色是張文平,ABL賽會將於新賽季放寬「本土球員」的限制,由過往球員需與球隊的地區有血緣關係,改為只需有地緣關係即可,中國、香港、澳門及台灣四個地區的球員,只要跟其中一地有血緣關係,亦可被視為四地中任何一地的「本土球員」。過往只能算作台灣球隊本土球員的張文平就能以華人血緣的關係而重投東方,並以本土球員身份在ABL上陣。
至於本土陣容,球隊釋出鍾俊昇,簽入梁嘉顯以及身高198cm的張彬賢。
搭配原本班底李琪、陳兆榮、蕭鍵勳、徐遠成、吳松峻、楊睿騏、林萬進、劉子禮,陳翊麟,鄧志恆。
至於上季受傷患而賽季報銷的胡卓斌,目前康復進度理想,雖然季初首兩場仍然會看到他在板凳席上,但Ben已可於球隊練習中試水溫,預期十二月底或明年可逐漸回到比賽場上,作中鋒位置的替補。
汲取上季應付兩邊戰線的經歷,東方除ABL陣容外,球隊亦同時多簽本土球員,既收內部競爭之效,亦確定有足夠兵源分途出戰。

根據ESPN最新消息,魔獸將會與新東家籃網隊進入買斷他2380萬美元合約的討論。
以他上賽季在黃蜂隊的進步,加上免除合約的負擔,今年在自由球員市場上應該也挺搶手的。
#DwightHoward #ThisIsWhyWePlay #NBAHK #NBA #阿勤講波
魔獸又被交易了!爆料天王 Adrian Wojnarowski 透露黃蜂隊已經同意將 Dwight Howard 送到布魯克林籃網,換來俄羅斯中鋒 Timofey Mozgov 和兩個未來的第二輪選秀權+💰,其中一個選秀權屬於今年Draft的第45位選秀籤。
籃網一直找尋方法卸下 Mozgov 的那張在2016年和湖人簽下的四年6400萬合約,而同年 Dwight Howard 則與鷹隊簽了三年的7000萬合約,所以籃網透過此交易能為球隊在本賽季後省下將近1700萬,到了2019年將有能力提供兩紙頂薪合約,屆時在市場上有機會爭奪如 Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson 或 Kawhi Leonard 等大牌球星。
回想2012年魔獸 Dwight Howard 曾向奧蘭多魔術提出要求被交易到剛搬家到布魯克林的籃網隊,原以為可以和 Joe Johnson 和 Deron Williams 组成籃網新三巨頭,結果魔術把他送到湖人。
6年後,魔獸終於如願以償,但現在的籃網隊,已經面目全非了。
由於勞資協議的限制,目前只能達成口頭協議,各球會要等到7月6日才能正式簽約完成交易。

BEN Simmons dropped a triple-double and a career-high, but it was the No. 2 overall pick from the 2016 NBA Draft who’ll leave Philly with a smile on his face.
Brandon Ingram hit a clutch three-pointer with 0.8 second remaining, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a 107-104 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers; a matchup that’s slowly turning into one of the NBA’s most enjoyable new rivalries.
Richaun Holmes’ off-balance three-pointer was off the mark, with the Lakers putting a stop to a five-game losing skid.
Simmons, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, finished the game with the third triple-double of his career — 12 points, 13 rebounds, and a career-high 15 assists — making him just the third player in league history record that sort of stat-line within 23 career games.
Ingram led the way for the Lakers with 21 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, while Lonzo Ball had one of the most impressive games of his career, finishing with 10 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and four blocks in the win.
Joel Embiid put forward another dominant performance for the 76ers, with 33 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and five blocks, but it was enough to lift his team as they suffered their third loss in four games.

- Ben Simmons finally made his long-awaited NBA regular-season debut against the Wizards in Washington on Wednesday night. And after his extended wait to wear the Philadelphia 76ers jersey in a meaningful game, he said he felt initially like he was in a video game.
"It felt like I was playing 2K, honestly," Simmons said postgame.
"Just looking at Joel Embiid out there with the lights on his jersey. I was like, 'man, I'm actually here.'"
Simmons was drafted with the first overall pick by the Sixers in the 2016 draft, but he missed the entire 2016-17 season while recovering from foot surgery to repair a Jones fracture. He suffered the injury on Sept. 30, 2016, less than a month before the start of the regular season. The Australian was originally expected to miss three months, but was eventually ruled out for the entire season.
Simmons has said he's at 100 percent now, and it showed against Washington. He displayed no signs of first-game jitters as he finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in the 120-115 loss. He played with a seasoned poise, not forcing anything, letting the game come to him, and looking to set up teammates.
"I was using my size and speed to my advantage, and I think I did a good job at that," he said. "I could have done it a few more times, maybe we would have won, but we're gonna get there. It would have been better if we got the win, but it's the first game. We have many more to go."
Sixers coach Brett Brown was thoroughly impressed with Simmons' debut effort, pointing out that the Aussie had just one turnover in 35 minutes of playing time.
"How about Ben Simmons' first game in the NBA?" Brown said.
"Really, there were times he could have finished even more. I feel that his first game was really exceptional. Really, really exceptional. Physically, we all see what he is as an athlete, and I think that his growth path, his improvement scale, can be off the charts."
