费城——唐纳德·特朗普总统周四指责勒布朗·詹姆斯不尊重美国。此前在周二费城赛季揭幕战奏响国歌时，这位NBA球星似乎仍在继续热身。“我从一开始就说过他不行，是个彻头彻尾的耻辱，”特朗普在分享该视频的一条社交媒体帖子中谈到詹姆斯时说。“勒布朗·詹姆斯应该向所有为美国国旗以及我们国家所代表的一切而牺牲的伟大美国战士和英雄们道歉！”
PHILADELPHIA — President Donald Trump on Thursday accused LeBron James of disrespecting the United States after the NBA star appeared to continue his warmups while the national anthem was performed before Philadelphia’s season opener on Tuesday.“I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE,” Trump said of James in a social media post sharing the video. “LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!”
在周二纽约的比赛中奏响《星条旗》时，詹姆斯似乎在练习高尔夫挥杆和跳投。詹姆斯正开始他在费城的第一个赛季，当时他与队友们列队站在一起，队友们在奏国歌时大多站立不动。多年来，特朗普和詹姆斯一直互相批评，偶尔公开交锋。截至周四下午，詹姆斯尚未就特朗普的不满发表公开评论或社交媒体帖子。41岁的詹姆斯正处于创纪录的第24个NBA赛季，他定于周四晚上在主场代表76人队首次亮相，对阵克利夫兰。
James appeared to practice a golf swing and jump shot as The Star-Spangled Banner was performed at Tuesday’s game in New York. James, starting his first season with Philadelphia, was lined up alongside teammates who mostly stood still during the anthem. Trump and James have been critical of each another for years, occasionally trading public swipes. James had not made a public comment or a social media post as of Thursday afternoon about Trump's gripe. The 41-year-old James, in his record 24th NBA season, was set to make his home debut for the Sixers Thursday night against Cleveland.
以下是詹姆斯与总统或政治产生纠葛的一些较为引人注目的时刻：2017年，詹姆斯还效力于克利夫兰时，在一场NBA比赛中用他的球鞋表达立场——一只黑色、一只白色，每只鞋的后跟都印有金色大写字母“equality”（平等）。随后，在赛后，詹姆斯就特朗普发表了一番言论，他说：“这是一个美丽的国家，我们绝不会让一个人来决定我们有多么美丽、多么强大。”
Among some of the more notable times James became entangled with the president or politics:James was with Cleveland in 2017 when he made a statement during an NBA game with his shoes — one black, one white, with the word “equality” in capital gold letters on the back of each. Then, after the game, James made a statement about Trump, saying: “This is a beautiful country and we’re never going to let one person dictate how beautiful and how powerful we are.”
詹姆斯曾在推特上称特朗普是“一个流浪汉”，并且在那个赛季早些时候还这样评价总统：“他不明白，无论什么种族，有多少孩子仰赖美国总统来获得指引、领导力和鼓励的话语。”
James had called Trump “ a bum ” on Twitter and also said earlier that season of the president: “He doesn’t understand how many kids, no matter the race, look up to the president of the United State for guidance, for leadership, for words of encouragement. He doesn’t understand that, and that’s what makes me more sick than anything.”
“他不理解这一点，这比任何事都让我更感到恶心。”在福克斯新闻主持人劳拉·英格拉姆批评这位三届NBA总冠军2018年关于社会问题的言论后，詹姆斯表现出了在社会问题和国家政治氛围上发声的决心。
James showed determination to speak out on social issues and the nation’s political climate after Fox News host Laura Ingraham criticized the three-time NBA champion for his 2018 comments about social issues.“We will definitely not shut up and dribble,” James said.
“我们绝对不会‘闭嘴打球’，”詹姆斯说。“我绝对不会那样做。我对社会意义重大。我对青少年意义重大。我对许多觉得没有出路、需要有人帮助带领他们走出困境的孩子们意义重大。”
“I will definitely not do that. I mean too much to society. I mean too much to the youth. I mean too much to so many kids that feel like they don’t have a way out and they need someone to help lead them out of the situation they’re in.”
詹姆斯提到了穆罕默德·阿里、吉姆·布朗、比尔·拉塞尔和杰基·罗宾逊，这些运动员曾为平等和变革发声，不顾后果，不图回报。“我们知道这比我们个人更重要，”詹姆斯说。
James referenced Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Bill Russell and Jackie Robinson as athletes who previously spoke up for equality and change with no concerns about the consequences or any rewards.“We know it’s bigger than us,” James said.
詹姆斯在很大程度上因带领洛杉矶湖人队夺冠，并在“黑人的命也是命”运动高峰期帮助说服许多从未投票的人最终走向投票站，而被美联社评为2020年度最佳男运动员。
James was named The Associated Press’ Male Athlete of the Year in 2020 in large part for leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship and helped convince many — at the peak of Black Live Matter — who had never voted to finally head to the polls.“I still know what I do on the floor and obviously, I give everything to the game,” James said.
“我依然知道我在球场上做什么，显然，我全心投入比赛，”詹姆斯说。“但我现在在场外能产生更大的影响，比在场上更大。我想继续用我的打球方式激励人们。但在场外，我能做更多事情来培养人、激励人、团结人、赋能他们。”
“But I can make a greater impact off the floor right now, more than I can on the floor. And I want to continue to inspire people with the way I play the game of basketball. But there’s so many more things that I can do off the floor to help cultivate people, inspire people, bring people together, empower them.”AC Milan striker and former LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovic blasted socially conscious athletes in a 2021 interview.
AC米兰前锋、前洛杉矶银河队球星兹拉坦·伊布拉希莫维奇在2021年的一次采访中抨击有社会良知的运动员。伊布拉希莫维奇称詹姆斯和其他运动员参与政治事业是“一个错误”，说他们应该“只做你最擅长的事，因为那样不好看。”詹姆斯理所当然地回击了批评。“我永远不会对错误的事情保持沉默，”詹姆斯说。白宫记者科林·宾克利在华盛顿为本文做出贡献。查看美联社完整NBA报道请点此。
Ibrahimovic called it “a mistake” for James and other athletes to get involved in political causes, saying they should “just do what you do best, because it doesn’t look good.”James, naturally, rejected the criticism.“I would never shut up about things that are wrong,” James said.
