Durant:球員應該可以投票決定誰是MVP
據<奧克拉俄馬人>報導,雷霆當家球星Kevin Durant在採訪中引發了一個具爭議性的話題。這位去年常規賽最有價值球員認為,媒體的權力過大,不應該能夠決定每年NBA的重要獎項。他認為NBA的球員應該具有投票的權利,因為球員比媒體更懂得比賽。
引用“They have too much power. The players know each other inside and out. The media isn’t in the film room and goes for sexy names.”
Kevin Durant的意思,並不是完全由球員取代記者投票,他的意思是球員和記者也可以投票。Durant認為,球員之間每晚都會互相交手,大家知道大家在場上說些什麼,也知道對方如何對待隊友和如何準備比賽,所以Durant認為球員的投票應該被考慮在內。
引用"I think (the) media gets too much power to vote on stuff like that quite frankly I don't think you really know a lot about as much we know about it."
"So we play against these guys every single night, we battle against these guys, we know what they say on the court, we know how they handle their teammates, we know how they approach the game, and our votes should count."
"Our opinions should count. I don't think you guys know as much we do and I don't see why you have more power than we do."
Durant提出意見的意思,是因為其實有很多球員都應該獲得最佳防守球員稱號或者是最佳第六人稱號。可是他們沒有讓媒體炒作的話題,引不起媒體的關注度,因此他們得不到應有的名份。
引用"There are a lot of guys that deserve Defensive Player of the Year or Sixth Man of the Year but you guys (decide sometimes because) they are not the sexier names. A lot of people will see the names of these players and don't look at the other guys that contribute to our game as well."
或許,Durant的意見是合理的,球員和教練也有權選擇獎項,令獎項變得更公正和更有代表性。
