Waking from the Dream
大梦方觉醒<四>

With the retirement of Charles Barkley, the Dream Team Generation is nearing its end.

随着巴克利的退役,梦之队的一代人几近要退出历史舞台

Yet when they began filtering into the NBA in the mid- to late-1980s, noneMagic Johnson of them had any idea of how big they and their sport would ultimately become on the world athletic stage. How, exactly, could they explain the serendipity that was allowing them to invade a sport at just the right time?

filter
v. 渐为人知,慢慢传开
serendipity
n. 有意外发现珍宝的运气
他们在19世纪80年代被播撒到NBA这块土地中的时候,没有人知道土壤会有多么肥沃。

Pro basketball was just getting its multicultural, ultra-hip, mega-marketing, "We Are the World" legs upon their arrivals in the mid-1980s. David Stern's hair was still jet-black, and the sports world was just beginning to see the boy genius' plan come together. It was a plot that would bolt the NBA from a sport on the cult-like fringes, into an American institution, and its players from minstrel performers into cultural icons.

Stern - who would become commissioner the same year Jordan, Barkley,the Dream team Olajuwon and Stockton came into the league - was about to launch a marketing philosophy that promoted the individuals, not the teams, as stars. And look at the cast of characters he would have to work with: the ethereal competitive killer in Jordan; the artistic Drexler, Olajuwon, Robinson and Pippen; Malone and Ewing, all unswerving warriors; the outrageous Barkley; the efficient, no-nonsense Stockton; the sharpshooting Mullin.
