As Kobe Bryant works his way around the league on a farewell tour, he is being celebrated as one of the greatest players of all time.
科比·布莱恩特正在整个联盟上演着自己的告别之旅，他也一直被誉为是最伟大的球员之一。
But is Kobe even the greatest Laker?
但是科比是湖人队史最佳吗？
ESPN asked NBA executives and coaches who they believed was the greatest Laker of all time. Of the 65 respondents, 45 said Magic Johnson was the greatest Laker ever.
ESPN对联盟多位主教练和高管进行调查，询问在他们心中谁才是湖人队史最伟大球员。在65个被访者当中，有45人选择魔术师约翰逊为湖人队史最佳球员。
"Magic without a doubt," said one executive who also played in the league. "I love Kobe, but Magic brought more to the table."
"魔术师无疑是最佳的。"一位曾经在联盟中打拼过的现任主管表示。"我很爱科比，但是魔术师给湖人队带去更多。"
Bryant and Abdul-Jabbar tied for second with seven votes apiece, and Jerry West, who followed his terrific Lakers playing career with an unparalleled career in the team's front office, received five votes. Wilt Chamberlain, the greatest statistical force the game has ever known, played only five seasons with the Lakers and was named by one voter.
科比和贾巴尔同时得到7张投票，并列第二位。杰里-韦斯特得到5张投票，排名第三位，韦斯特无论是球员时代，还是退役后当总经理都为湖人创造辉煌。历史上最伟大的中锋之一张伯伦因只在湖人队效力五个赛季，所以只得到1张投票。
Those who voted for Bryant were surprised the final tally was so lopsided.
那些投票给科比的人对最后的结果是如此的悬殊都感到非常惊讶。
"Kobe won two titles without Shaq," said an executive. "Magic didn't win any titles without Kareem. I thought Kobe would get more love for his five titles."
"科比在没有沙克·奥尼尔的情况下拿下了两个总冠军。"一位主管表示。"但是魔术师在没有贾巴尔的情况下没能拿下任何冠军。所以我认为，科比能从他的五个冠军中获得更多的热爱。"
"Kobe ticks people off and Magic usually said all the right things," the GM said. "They were different players. Magic made everyone better. Kobe made the team better. In my heart, I know it's Magic who's the greatest Laker, but Kobe was unreal at times.
另一位高层表示："科比喜欢指出错和对，魔术师的言论很得体。他们是不同的球员。魔术师让所有人都变得出色，科比让球队变得出色。我认为魔术师是湖人队史最伟大球员，不过科比有时也很出色。"
"Kobe is like Anakin Skywalker. The force was strong with him and he could not control it at times. He had too many weapons and abused the power. He was loved as a young Jedi, hated during his prime as a ruler, and now everyone's coming back around at the end. Magic is Yoda, always teaching and making others better -- the leader that elevates others."
"科比是天行者阿纳金，他的能量很强，但是有时控制不住这股能量，他拥有太多武器以致有时滥用武力，他年轻时候就像少年绝地武士，很受宠爱，进入巅峰时候，他却招来各自憎恨。魔术师就像尤达大师，始终在传授，让其他人变得出色。"
