國際上NBA權威網站如ESPN的分析師常能和球員有近距離接觸，對於一些球賽細微的數據等也觀察入微，因此常能寫出十分具有深度的文章。
Lenny Carlos 曾是許多國際知名媒體的專欄作家，包括 Yahoo，ESPN 以及 HoopsRant 等，更是國外知名 NBA新聞網 OpenCourt 和 NBA Buzz 的創始人。GAJ 很榮幸能夠邀請到 Carlos 先生，讓我們對他做深入的專訪。
專訪內容除了提到台灣球迷關心的林書豪的表現及未來展望，也提到了許多隊伍的現況，潛在危機，和一些漸漸嶄露頭角的未來新星。讓我們來看國際級專家對這些議題有什麼不同的看法吧！

Q :
In the past few seasons, Jeremy Lin has been both a starter and a bench player. As a starter, he has been relatively inconsistent. Do you think his performance was hindered by poor coaching, a ball dominant superstar, or his inability to perform?
過去的幾個賽季，林書豪擔任過先發球員和板凳球員，作為先發球員時，他的表現被認為不夠穩定，你認為他這樣的表現是歸咎於什麼原因呢？是教練的問題、球隊當家球星過於黏球、還是他個人能力不足？
A :
Ok, I need to go back in time for that question. New York Knicks, February 2012 – LINSANITY! What happened back then was unreal. I remember it like it was yesterday, he became the first NBA player to score at least 20 points and have seven assists in each of his first five starts as well as also setting an NBA record for most points scored in the first 3,4 and 5 career starts. This was curse and blessing for Jeremy Lin.

好，要回答這個問題我必須回溯到四年前，2012年二月的紐約尼克 – Linsanity! 那時候發生的事情真的令人難以置信，我還記憶猶新，他成為第一個在前五場作為先發的比賽就拿下20分7助攻的球員，同時締造前三場、四場和五場先發的最高得分紀錄，這對林書豪來說既是祝福亦是詛咒。
It was a blessing because all of a sudden he was known all over the world, his game got recognition, he was no longer the odd man out, the smart D-league kid from Harvard, who backed up the back up. His amazing play made people over-react though, and out of nowhere, he became a superstar.

是祝福因為忽然之間林書豪成為舉世聞名的超級巨星，他的籃球技術開始被認同，他不再是被排除在群體外的那個人，不再是那個從哈佛來的發展聯盟球員，不再是那個板凳中的板凳，然而，他優異的表現也讓人們對他抱有過高的期望，乍然間，他成為了一名超級巨星。
This instantly leads me to the cursed part of this fairytale cinderella story – the average fan and viewer expected this to continue and the general managers (of many teams, New York Knicks and Houston Rockets in particular) hoped for it to continue. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a fluke, he is a great player, although he is not consistent enough to be a starter on a contending team. I really like the role he’s been playing so far this season for Charlotte – being the 6th man of the team playing both guard positions, point and shooting guard. I also believe he can be a starter. He probably would start on a lot of teams. Philly or Denver for example, but I see him more of a 6th man that plays starter minutes. Wait until this season has finished before criticizing me. I bet you’ll see what I see. This situation is perfect for him and Ginobili for example, also became a star in this league, even though he wasn’t starting.
