The Mavericks Just Wagered a Generation’s Worth of Goodwill
獨行俠剛剛賭上了一整個世代的好感
Davis brings plenty of selling points, too, and there will be a lot of time to
consider what one of the great big men of his time adds to this organization.
But that time is not now, a day when Dallas woke up to shock and sadness. As
Holland Murphy, one of the least sports-inclined people in our office,
wondered only semi-jokingly on Microsoft Teams this morning, “Is this what it
was like to be a Dallasite in 1963?” Her 5-year-old was curled up in his bed
this morning, crying about the Luka news.
Davis 有他的優勢，
未來會有很多機會來討論這位本世代的頂尖內線球員能為獨行俠帶來什麼。
但不是今天，因為達拉斯市今天一覺醒來，只有震驚與悲傷。
正如我們辦公室裡一位對體育毫無興趣的同事 Holland Murphy，
在 Microsoft Teams 上半開玩笑地問：「這就是1963年達拉斯人的感覺嗎？」
她五歲的兒子今早躲在床上哭泣，因為他聽到了 Luka 被交易的消息。
（1963年美國總統John F. Kennedy在達拉斯遭到槍擊身亡）
It has never been more obvious that Harrison, team governor Patrick Dumont,
and the rest of the Adelson family are not from here, and that their time in
Dallas did not overlap with any part of Nowitzki’s 21-year playing career. If
that weren’t the case, they’d grasp that even a title, however unlikely—
and considering the state of rival contenders, it is indeed unlikely—probably
does not heal this wound on its own. To know Dallas is to understand that
Nowitzki was not beloved for his championship ring nearly as much as for his
embrace of a city that was always trying to measure up: as his unspoken,
unwavering reassurance that this place was enough. That spawned what I’ve
referred to as The Dirk Generation, millions of people who committed to a
person as much as a team, whose Mavericks experience—if not Dallas experience
—orbited around an adopted son of the city growing from a boy to a man in our
presence, and celebrating all the great things he did along the way.
Harrison、球隊老闆 Patrick Dumont 以及 Adelson 家族的其他成員，
從來不是這兒的人，這一點從未如此明顯。
他們在達拉斯的時間，也從未與 Nowitzki 21年的職業生涯重疊過。
若不是如此，他們應該能夠明白，即使這筆交易最後奇蹟似地帶來了一座總冠軍
——考慮到其他爭冠球隊的狀況，這個可能性微乎其微——
這道傷痕恐怕也不會因此痊癒。
了解達拉斯的人都知道， Nowitzki 之所以被這裡愛戴，
不僅僅是因為他拿到了總冠軍，而是因為他全心擁抱了這整座城市。
給予這個總是試圖證明自身價值的城市裡，
那種無聲且堅定的態度：讓整座城市感受到「我們這裡已經夠棒了」。
這種情感，催生了所謂的「Dirk世代」，
數百萬人不只是忠於一支球隊，而是忠於這個人。
他們的獨行俠記憶——甚至可以說是達拉斯記憶——圍繞著這位全城的義子，
見證他從青澀少年成長為成熟男人，並在這段旅程中，一同慶祝他締造的所有輝煌時刻。
Insofar as any of the clumsy parallels between Nowitzki and Doni ever made
sense, the greatest was the possibility of Doni walking the path his
mentor laid out. The Dirk Generation could raise The Luka Generation, and 40
years of people would enjoy something far rarer than a championship in today’
s transient, transactional sports world. There is no guarantee that would have
happened, of course. Perhaps Doni would have demanded a trade eventually,
or perhaps the city would someday turn on him for the same reason his team
did. But neither of those outcomes was imminent, which means the Mavericks
decided to take that experience away from people, without extracting anywhere
close to the fortune it ought to cost. That will hang over the organization
for decades.
儘管人們試圖將 Nowitzki 與 Luka 相提並論，這些比較或許有些牽強，
但其中最具意義的一點，是 Luka 原本有機會踏上他的導師曾鋪過的道路。
「Dirk世代」原本可以孕育出「Luka世代」，
讓這座城市的球迷，在長達 40 年的時間裡，擁有一種遠比總冠軍更為珍貴的體驗——
在這個講求短期成效、交易頻繁的體育世界中，
見證一位傳奇球員從年輕小將一路成長、奉獻整個職業生涯。
當然，這一切並無法保證一定會發生。
也許 Luka 最終仍會要求交易，或許有一天，
這座城市會因為與球隊相同的理由而對他失去耐心。
但這些情況都並非迫在眉睫，
而獨行俠卻主動選擇剝奪球迷這樣的機會，且換來的回報遠不及應有的價值。
這筆交易的影響，將長久籠罩在這支球隊的歷史之中。
Never mind that, though. The Mavericks think they know best: that casting out
a favorite son will help them win with hired guns, and that winning is enough
for its own sake. They’d better be right.
不過算了啦，反正獨行俠認為他們自己最懂：
他們相信，放棄這位深受全城喜愛的球星，能夠讓球隊靠著外來的傭兵奪冠，
只要能夠拿到勝利本身就有足夠的價值。
希望他們是對的啦。
