Jabbar 勸 Malone 以追求冠軍為目標
Karl Malone 有機會打破 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 所保持的 NBA 最多得分紀錄。
但是已經進入名人堂的 Jabbar 認為 Malone 應該花更多的心力去贏得總冠軍!
目前的紀錄是由 Jabbar 在闖蕩 NBA 二十年後所創下的 38387分。Malone 目前
十八年的 NBA 生涯共計得分 36374分,距離紀錄只有 2013分。若 Malone 能再
多打兩年,他只要每場平均得分到達 12.3 分便可順利破紀錄。若是以 Malone
去年平均得分 20.6分來計算,他甚至可以在明年十二月初便達到這個目的。
Jabbar 表示贏得冠軍應該是每個人打球的最大動機。對他而言,那正是他打球的
目的。另一方面,Jabbar 怎表示他並不會太關注 Malone 是否及何時會打破他的
紀錄,他表示:那將不會對我有太大的影響!

Kareem to Karl: Go After a Title
By Phil Miller
The Salt Lake Tribune
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is aware that Karl Malone
is in pursuit of his all-time NBA scoring record. But the Hall of Fame
center believes Malone should pursue another of Abdul-Jabbar's achievements
even harder: A world championship.
"A championship should be everybody's motivation," said Abdul-Jabbar,
who was honored during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday. "That's the most
important thing. That's why I played the game."
As he was doing so, the innovator of the skyhook also piled up 38,387
points, more than anyone in history. It's a record that many people considered
unbreakable when Abdul-Jabbar retired after 20 NBA seasons with the Bucks
and Lakers, but one that Malone is quickly closing in on.
The Jazz great finished his 18th season with 36,374 points, just 2,013
away from the record. If he plays two more seasons, Malone needs to average
only 12.3 points per game to catch Abdul-Jabbar; if he maintains the 20.6-
point average he posted last season, the soon-to-be 40-year-old would catch
Abdul-Jabbar in early December 2004.
Malone never can equal Abdul-Jabbar's six world titles -- one in Milwaukee
and five in Los Angeles -- and the Laker great understands how that must grate
on the Jazz veteran. Perhaps the scoring record can salve that wound, Abdul-
Jabbar said.
"It will be something for him to hang his hat on. Not winning any world
championships, that's tough," Abdul-Jabbar said. "It must be really
frustrating for him to have such a fine career but have nothing that really
sets him apart. So [the scoring record] might be it."
Abdul-Jabbar said he hasn't followed Malone's progress closely, but is
aware the record is in jeopardy.
"If he maintains his motivation and stays consistent, he'll be able to
do it," Abdul-Jabbar said. "I'm not really too involved in it. He's had a
great career. And if he breaks the record, it's great for him, but it's not
going to affect me too much."
