疫情的蔓延可以迫使NBA停擺比賽暫停，但是屬於人類籃球歷史的榮光永遠不會被抹去。
昨天，2020年奈史密斯籃球名人堂名單火熱出爐，其陣容堪稱史上最強，讓我們先來聽聽名人堂主席傑裡-科朗格洛是怎麼說的：
「We all have criteria we look at in terms of thenominees: All-Star appearances, All-League, first team, second team, third team, the various awards, the championships. There’s a whole list of things we look at. And each year there’s usually one person who stands out with an array of all those honors. But this time, with those three, the accumulative is unbelievable.」
「對於候選人，我們是有入選標準的：全明星出場數，全聯盟榮譽，入選一陣、二陣、三陣次數，還有各種獎項和總冠軍，有很多條件我們要篩查。每年通常會有一個人獲得過這一系列榮譽並脫穎而出，但這次，他們三個人累計獲得的榮譽簡直難以置信。」
nominees[n m 'niz] 被提名者;候選人
The 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has been unveiled and it's atranscendentone, headlined by Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.
2020年由科比·布萊恩特，蒂姆·鄧肯和凱文·加內特領銜的奈史密斯籃球名人堂結果已經揭曉，這次堪稱史上最強。
transcendent[tr n s nd nt] 超越的;卓越的;傑出的
The trio『 of Bryant, Duncan and Garnett combined to win 11 NBA championships and four MVP awards across their decorated careers. Garnett has spent his post-playing career working in media while Duncan is currently an assistant coach for the only team he ever played for, the San Antonio Spurs. Bryant died in a helicopter accident in January, but will be inductedposthumously.
科比，鄧肯和加內特三人在他們輝煌的職業生涯中一共贏得了11個NBA總冠軍和4個MVP榮譽。退役後，加內特進入媒體行業，而鄧肯目前是聖安東尼奧馬刺隊的助理教練，馬刺也是他職業生涯效力過的唯一一支球隊。科比在一月份的直升機事故中去世，但這並不影響他入選名人堂。
posthumously[ pɑst m sl ] 死後的；身後的
科比·布萊恩特
科比的意外離世，成為了這屆閃耀歷史的籃球名人堂最大的遺憾，也使這屆名人堂成為了最特殊的一屆。對於科比的偉大，名人堂主席傑裡-科朗格洛就曾說過：
「Kobe Bryant will be posthumously inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on the first ballot later this year. Kobe will be honored the way he should be."
科比·布萊恩特將在下半年以第一候選人的身份追授名人堂榮譽。科比將以他應有的方式得到尊重。
Bryant spent his entire 20-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five championships and the 2008 MVP award. His tragic death drewtributesandeulogiesfrom around the league. A Lakers game against the Los Angeles Clippers was postponed to give the team time to grieve his loss, and when they did finally return to the court five days later, they did so only after an extremely emotional nearly-30 minute pregame tribute.
科比在洛杉磯湖人度過了他整個20年的NBA生涯，拿下了5座總冠軍和2008年的MVP。不幸逝去讓整個聯盟都在致敬和追悼他。為了給球隊時間消化失去科比的悲痛，湖人與快船的比賽被延期。五天後他們終於重返球場，但是比賽在一段近30分鐘極具感染力的致敬後才正式開始。
tribute[t'r bjut] 致敬;頌詞;獻禮
eulogies[ ju:l d i:z] 頌詞;悼詞
Whenever the induction ceremony does take place, it will likely serve as another opportunity for the legends in Springfield, Massachusetts to honor him.
無論頒獎典禮何時在麻薩諸塞州的斯普林菲爾德舉行，到場的傳奇大概率都會抓住這個機會再次向科比致敬。
蒂姆·鄧肯
1997年鄧肯以狀元身份登陸聖安東尼奧馬刺隊，出道即巔峰，而且一巔就是20年，直到退役之前，他都是聯盟數一數二的內線，不信可以問問波什，問問霍華德。
Duncan's career on the court followed a similar path to Kobe's. He spent 19 seasons with the Spurs, winning five championships like Bryant but edging him out in MVPs by winning back-to-backtrophiesin 2002 and 2003. The two battled one another in the postseason six times, with the Lakers taking four of those series.
鄧肯的球場生涯與科比相似。他在馬刺度過了他的19個賽季，和科比一樣拿下了5座總冠軍，但是在2001-02和2002-03賽季中連續榮膺最有價值球員因而在MVP數量上稍勝一籌。兩人在季後賽中六次交鋒，其中湖人隊勝了四場。
trophy[ tro fi] (競賽、賽跑等的)獎品，獎盃
Their personalities couldn't have been more different, but their rivalry was the backbone of the Western Conference for over a decade. It's only fitting that they enter the Hall of Fame together.
他們的性格截然不同，但十多年來兩者之間的恩怨一直是西部的核心看點。他們攜手進入名人堂再合適不過了。
凱文·加內特
聯盟歷史上第一個20歲以前被選中的天才高中生，剛進入聯盟就奠定了自己歷史最全面大前鋒的地位。多年後，也許數據和榮譽會被超越，但是他在球場上的熱血和激情，將被後人牢牢銘記。
Garnett's career was a bit more complicated. Heultimatelyplayed for three teams, starting with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was eventually traded to the Boston Celtics where he won his only championship. He closed his career with the Brooklyn Nets and a second stint with the Timberwolves.
加內特的職業生涯有點複雜。他一共效力過三支球隊，夢起明尼蘇達森林狼，之後被交易至波士頓凱爾特人並在那贏得了他唯一一次的總冠軍。最後在布魯克林籃網隊結束了自己的職業生涯，然後又在森林狼任職。
ultimately[ lt m tli] 最終；最後；終於
Like Bryant, he won an MVP, and the two faced each other in the NBA Finals twice. While he doesn't have nearly as much jewelry as the others, he was every bit their equalin terms ofplaying ability.
和科比一樣，他也得過MVP，兩人在NBA總決賽中兩次交手。儘管他的榮譽沒有科比、鄧肯那麼多，但在比賽能力方面，他和另外兩位絕對不分伯仲。
in terms of就......而言
The trio of Bryant, Duncan and Garnett combine to form one of the greatest Hall of Fame classes in the sport's history.
黑曼巴+石佛+狼王的組合使這屆名人堂躋身籃球運動史上最強之一。
Theenshrinement ceremonytypically takes place in August, though the outbreak of coronavirus could potentially force the Hall of Fame to postpone the ceremony. Eventually, though, at least three basketball legends will earn their rightful place in the game's history through enshrinement at the Hall of Fame.
頒獎典禮通常在八月舉行。儘管冠狀病毒的爆發可能會迫使入選儀式推遲，但至少三位籃球傳奇人物最終將通過入選名人堂而在NBA歷史上贏得應有的地位。
