NBA》15年前的現在 LeBron上電視宣佈The Decision就此改變聯盟生態

Yahoo08-07-2025
15年前的7月8日,詹姆士(LeBron James)透過ESPN的全美轉播,向全世界籃球迷宣佈自己決定將天賦從克里夫蘭帶往邁阿密,「The Decision」不僅從此留名青史,甚至直到15年後的現在,依舊能感受到當時這個重大事件留下的深刻影響。

「The Decision」除了對詹姆士、騎士隊及熱火隊等當事者帶來直接影響之外,整個過程對聯盟生態造成最直接的衝擊,就是「球員自主權」的崛起。
過去幾年,我們看到不少球員主導自己在自由市場和交易中的落腳處,為了尋求最有利自己發展的環境,球員們常對所屬球隊施壓要求補強,即便偶爾還是會爆出唐契奇(Luka Doncic)這種無預警被捨棄掉的案例,但整體而言,聯盟中目前真正握有最大權力的是球員。
有些專家認為,這股風潮其實從詹姆士宣佈The Decision之前的兩年就開始醞釀,當時有不少球隊為了延攬詹姆士,從2010年夏天前幾年就開始清楚球隊薪資空間,於是那段期間,合約在2010年到期的球員突然變得非常搶手。
根據當時的一些八卦消息指出,詹姆士在最終階段將有興趣加盟的隊伍名單縮減至6隊,並從7月開始陸續和這幾隊會談,這些球隊包括籃網、熱火、尼克、快艇、騎士和公牛,值得注意的是,詹姆士陣營並不是到這些球隊所在地進行會談,而是讓這些球隊代表到自己位於克里夫蘭的辦公室會面,充分展現主導權。
這個模式後來幾乎成為所有頂級球星談判合約的準則,除了最終引人詬病的電視轉播公佈結果之外,從挑選會面地點、與多隊會談、刻意拉長談判天數等,近年來可說是屢見不鮮,也讓球星主導權日益強大,近來甚至包括練球時間、隊友陣容、教練團隊等安排,球星們常常都展現關鍵影響力。
除了球員主導權興起之外,伴隨社群媒體興盛而形成的「爆料文化」、以及三巨頭團抱爭冠模式等,似乎也都從The Decision開始成為趨勢,即將邁入第23個職業生涯的詹姆士,帶給聯盟的深刻影響力絕對不僅止於場上那些不凡數據而已。

Thunder headlining NBA's opening night, Christmas schedule for this season

NEW YORK (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder felt slighted last season when they were left off the NBA's Christmas schedule. That won't be an issue this year. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the NBA champion Thunder will be working at home for Christmas this season, playing host to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs as part of the league's annual Dec. 25 quintupleheader. The other Christmas games, released by the NBA on Tuesday: Cleveland at New York, Houston at LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and Dallas visiting Golden State, and Minnesota playing at Denver. Some NBA Cup games are scheduled to be released Wednesday and the full schedule — 80 of the 82 games for all teams — is to be released on Thursday. The remaining two games for each club will be filled in December based on how teams fare in the NBA Cup. 'They make the schedule. We play it,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said last season, when asked about his club not being picked for the Dec. 25 lineup. 'Our players, I know, would have liked to play on Christmas because that's such a staple day in the NBA season. But we can't control that.' Well, they sort of did control their Christmas scheduling fate this season. The NBA champions typically get invited to play on Christmas the following season; Oklahoma City beat Indiana in a seven-game NBA Finals last season. The Eastern Conference champion Pacers are among the Christmas snubs this year, after losing Tyrese Haliburton to an Achilles tear that will sideline him for the entirety of this season and seeing Myles Turner opt to sign with Milwaukee in free agency. The Knicks will be playing their 58th Christmas game, extending their NBA record. The first Christmas game in league history was at Madison Square Garden in 1947. Boston, Philadelphia and Phoenix played on Christmas last season and didn't make the Dec. 25 cut this season, replaced by Cleveland (which was the East's No. 1 seed), Houston (which landed Kevin Durant in an offseason blockbuster from the Suns) and the Thunder. Cleveland and the Thunder are playing on Christmas for the first time since 2018. The Rockets have a Christmas game for the first time since 2019. James, if he plays on the holiday, will be making his 20th Christmas appearance in his record 23 NBA season. Only 12 NBA franchises have 20 Christmas games, and James could soon have that many as a player. And it'll be a big NBA holiday in Texas: All three of the state's teams are playing on Christmas for the first time. Opening night NBC's return to the NBA broadcast world officially starts with opening night on Oct. 21, when the Thunder will receive their championship rings before playing host to Durant and the Rockets in the first game of the season. That will be followed by Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Golden State taking on James, Luka Doncic and the Lakers in the second game of the NBC doubleheader. Those are the only two games on opening night. MLK Day Peacock and NBC will have four games on Jan. 19, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The matchups: Milwaukee at Atlanta on Peacock at 1 p.m. Eastern, followed by three games on NBC: Oklahoma City at Cleveland at 2:30 p.m. Eastern, Dallas at New York at 5 p.m. Eastern and Boston at Detroit at 8 p.m. Eastern. Memphis, which typically plays on the holiday, is not this season. The Grizzlies will be returning from Europe, after facing Orlando on Jan. 15 in Berlin and Jan. 18 in London. ___ AP NBA:
