北京时间5月25日，著名经纪人里奇-保罗接受了美媒Bleacher Report的专访，在谈及自己的客户布朗尼在选秀中因其父亲詹姆斯所得到的特殊待遇时，里奇-保罗表示：这种裙带关系在整个美国都非常常见。
里奇-保罗说：“有些人可能会觉得他因为父亲的关系而得到了机会，我觉得这是一种非常天真的逻辑，尤其是在美国。当你把美国作为一个整体来看时，它就是建立在裙带关系之上的。没有人会讨论吉姆-多兰，他拥有尼克斯队，但那是因为他父亲的家族企业。”
这一言论也引起了球迷们的热议，球迷们纷纷表示：太真实了。
[1]“布朗尼没有从裙带关系中获益，因为其他人正在从裙带关系中获益” 💀
“Bronny is not benefiting from nepotism because someone else is benefiting from nepotism” 💀
[-]“更像是“如果你不指责其他人的裙带关系，那么布朗尼的情况也不应该受到指责”该死的，笑死我了。”
More like “if you won’t call this out for nepotism then the bronny situation shouldn’t be called out for it” damn lmao
[--]“说“裙带关系？当然了，裙带关系就是一切！”来为布朗尼辩护是没有意义的。与富保罗（甚至是还在上高中时就大肆宣传要与布朗尼一起打球的詹姆斯）不同，布朗尼并没有刻意追求这种待遇，也没有让自己成为公众关注的焦点。”
It’s no defense of Bronny James to say “nepotism?? Of course it’s nepotism, nepotism is everything!” Contrary to Paul (and even LeBron who was hyping playing with Bronny when he was still in high school) Bronny has not courted any of this or thrust himself into the spotlight.
[4]“如果他说这就是美国的建国方式，那岂不是他太天真了？”
How is it naive if he just said that it’s how America was built?
[-]“我觉得他的意思是，认为这种事情是孤立或特殊的想法是天真的，因为现实情况是，这通常就是生活的运作方式。我看到一份报告称，大约70%的招聘都是基于裙带关系。”
I think he’s saying it’s naive to think it’s an isolated or special thing when the reality is this is how life generally works. I saw a report that that around 70% of all hires are due to nepotism.
[--]“我认为没有人会认为这是孤立事件，因为每个人都把矛头指向字母哥兄弟，只是有些人假装布朗尼的父亲是詹姆斯不是他得到这种待遇的主要原因。”
I don’t think anyone thinks it’s isolated as everyone points to Giannis’ brother, it’s just some are acting like his father being lebron isn’t a large reason he is getting the look he is
[7]“他说得没错，我们都知道他能得到这个机会是因为他爸爸！不过他最好好好利用这个机会。”
He not wrong , we all know he’s getting this opportunity because of his dad! He better take advantage of it tho
[-]“没人提到：里克-巴里二世、布伦特-巴里和乔恩-巴里被选中是因为老里克-巴里曾是总经理。没人提到迈克-邓利维或帕特里克-尤因二世，或者杰弗里-乔丹受到的特殊待遇。”
Nobody said anything about: Rick Jr., Brent and Jon Barry getting drafted because Rick Barry Sr. was a former player GM. Nobody said anything about Mike Dunleavey, or Patrick Ewing Jr. Or the special treatment Jeffery Jordan.
[--]“兄弟，小迈克-邓利维是全美最佳球员，也是选秀前五。布伦特-巴里是太平洋十校联盟最佳球员。乔恩-巴里是大西洋海岸联盟最佳球员。尤因是次轮末。他们都最终去了最适合他们发挥的地方。你不能拿这和他总是表现平平的布朗尼相比。”
Bro Mike Dunleavy was an all American and a top 5 draft pick. Brent Barry was all pac-10. Jon Barry was all ACC. Ewing was a late second rounder. They all ended up exactly where their talent dictated. You can’t compare that to Bronny always being just ok
[10]“他是否知道，在NBA打职业比赛需要天赋，而接管你富有的爸爸的生意则不需要天赋？”
Does he know that you need talent to play in the NBA professionally and you don't need talent to take over your rich daddy's business?
[-]“字母哥哥不也在雄鹿队里吗？”
thanasis is on a roster
[--]“好吧，我现在必须为自己辩护一下了，他在2014年被选中，当时字母哥刚开始在NBA打球，所以有些人相信他有在NBA打球的天赋，但他们后来才意识到，他的兄弟是一位伟大的球员。”
well i gotta defend myself now, he got drafted in 2014 which is a year after Giannis started playing in the NBA so there are some people who believe he has the talent to play in the NBA before realizing his brother was an all time great player
[13]“仅仅因为这是正常的并不意味着它不幼稚……”
just because it’s normal doesnt mean its not naive…
[-]“我觉得裙带关系确实存在，但并不正常。可能只有一小部分孩子会继承父母的事业。但对很多人来说，这也是可以理解的。因为这些关系是存在的，而且“如何做”的知识基础也是可以获得的。不过，你仍然需要有所作为。”
I think nepotism exists, but it isn't normal. A very small % of children probably follow in their parents footsteps. For many though, it makes sense. The connections are there and the knowledge base for 'How To' is accessible. You still have to produce.
[--]“裙带关系不仅仅意味着你的孩子，你知道的。给你最好的朋友一份工作也是裙带关系。”
Nepotism doesn’t only mean children you know. Giving your best bud a job is nepotism.
[16]“你期待里奇-保罗会说什么？他的职业生涯也归功于詹姆斯的名字。”
What do you expect Rich Paul to say? He owes his career to Lebrons name as well.
[-]“不同之处在于，布朗尼在高中四年里一直在公众的注视下与全国最优秀的球员比赛，这很了不起。他是麦当劳全美最佳球员。我们没看到他在大学里大放异彩的唯一原因是他差点死掉。”
The difference is Bronny has been playing against the best players in the country all 4 years in high school all under the public eye which is remarkable. He was a McDonald’s all-American. And the only reason we didn’t see him get off in college is because he almost DIED
[18]“有点裙带关系没什么不好，这是世界运作的一部分。他比大多数人有更好的机会，让我们看看他会怎么做。”
nothing wrong with a little bit of nepotism, it’s part of how the world works. He has a better opportunity than most let’s see what he does with it
[-]“事实上，一点点裙带关系就会带来很多问题。”
There’s actually plenty wrong with a little bit of nepotism.
[--]“只要詹姆斯愿意在选中他的球队打球，布朗尼在联盟的生涯就会持续下去。”
Bronny's tenure in the league will last exactly as long as Lebron is willing to play on the team that drafts him
