You know, Jerry provided a lot of different obstacles for me but at the same time the guy gave me an opportunity to perform at the highest level in terms of basketball. The Bulls, the whole Bulls organization, you know, they did a great adjustments for me and for all my teammates.
杰瑞给我设置了很多障碍，但同时也给了我更上一个台阶的机会。公牛的管理层为我和队友创造了很好的条件，他们针对我和我的队友做出了很多调整。
Believe me I had a lot of teammates in all the 14 years I played for the Bulls. I respected each one of them. I just wanted them to win, no matter how you looked at it. Doug Collins came at the same time when I was trying to play at the summer time. He said "well, you are part of the organization and the organization said you can't play at the summer time." I said "you read the things in my contract; in my contract I have the 'love the game' clause. That means I can play anytime I want, any place I want." And Doug looked at me and said "you are right, you are right." And that's how we became a little closer. Jerry Krause is right there and Jerry is not here. Obviously I don't know who'd invite him, I didn't. But, I hope he understands it goes a long way. He is a very competitive person. I was a very competitive person. He said organizations win championships. I said "I didn't see organizations playing with the flu in Utah. I didn't see it playing with a bad ankle." Granted, granted, I think organizations put together teams, but at the end of the day, team's got to go out and play. I think the players win the championship, and the organizations has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above players. Because at the end of the day, players still have got to go out of there and perform. You guys have got to pay us, but I've still got to go out and play.
在这14年里我有很多队友，我尊敬他们每一个人。不论他们是如何看我的，我只是为了追求胜利。道格·克林斯（公牛教练）是在我想打夏季联赛的时候来的，克林斯说：“迈克，你是球队的一员，球队不想让你打夏季联赛。”我说：“道格，你去看看我的合同，合同上面写着我热爱比赛，这表示我能在任何时候任何地方打球，只要我想。”道格看着我说：“好吧，那你去打吧。”我们就这样熟络起来了。杰瑞·克劳斯——我不知道谁向他发的请帖，反正我今天是没请他来——我希望他能理解吧。我们之间的故事太长了，他和我一样都是不认输的人。他说，球队管理层赢得了冠军。我说：“我可没看‘管理层’哪个人顶着流感在犹他州打比赛，我也没看见‘管理层’哪个人带伤上场。”就算，我知道是管理层组建了球队，但是最终上场比赛的还是我们这帮球员，所以我觉得是‘球员’赢得了总冠军，但管理层也功不可没，请别误会我的意思。别总是拿管理层来压球员，因为最终打比赛的是我们。你们付我们薪水，但上场比赛的终究是我们。
