Who is the Greatest NBA player Of All Time? GOAT
谁才是NBA历史上最伟大的篮球运动员？
When Michael Jordan made his final shot for the Chicago Bulls 20 years ago next month, that question was easy to answer.
到下个月，迈克尔乔丹完成在公牛时期的最后一投整整 就过去二十年之际，二十年前，谁是史上最强之神，这个问题很容易回答。
While cases could be made for Bill Russell based on championship rings, Wilt Chamberlain on statistical dominance and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on longevity, the consensus was clear: Jordan was the greatest basketball player who had ever lived.
当然，你可以用比尔拉塞尔的多枚总冠军戒指，威尔张伯伦的数据优势，贾巴尔长久而辉煌的职业生涯来挑战质疑，然而，一致的结论是清晰的：乔丹是迄今为止最伟大的篮球运动员。
And then along came LeBron James, a challenger to the throne unlike any before him. The comparison between James and Jordan, once premature, is now fair to make.
接着，迎来了勒布朗詹姆斯，一个王位的挑战者，与他之前的任何一位挑战者都不同。詹姆斯和乔丹之间的对比，如果说曾经为时尚早，那现在，是时候了。

This is James' 15th NBA season, matching Jordan's total, and he has already played 71 more regular-season games and an incredible 49 more playoff games.
这是詹姆斯的第十五个赛季，追平了乔丹，并且，这期间他已经多打了71场常规赛和不可思议地多打了49场季后赛。
With James still established as the league's best player at age 33 and adding playoff game winners to his resume seemingly by the week, the question is worth asking: Jordan or LeBron?
随着詹姆斯在33岁的时候仍然作为联盟最好的球员进行输出，并且似乎每周都会在他的履历中增加季后赛的胜利，这个问题是值得一问的：乔丹还是勒布朗，谁是史上最强之神？
By continuing to play at near-peak levels so deep into his career, James has almost caught up. In terms of unadjusted regular-season and playoff championships added, the count through the end of the 2017-18 regular season was Jordan 4.74, James 4.48.
随着他在职业生涯如此深入的时刻，继续打出几近巅峰的水准，詹姆斯几乎已经赶上来了。根据已有的常规赛和季后赛冠军加成，截止到2017-18赛季，乔丹的总冠军加成系数是4.74分，詹姆斯是4.48分。
If James can approximate last year's playoff run (.35 championships added), he'll pass Jordan in career championships added next month.
如果詹姆斯能够接近去年季后赛的成绩(0.35总冠军加成)，他的生涯总冠军加成系数将在下个月超越乔丹。
