2017NBA全明星赛前瞻：全明星们的青葱高中模样

The 2017 NBA All-Star Game is only one weeks away, and the rosters, like always, are filled with the elite of the elite in the NBA.

2017年NBA全明星赛只剩一周时间就要到了。就如往常，全明星的人员名单都是NBA精英中的精英。

The players on the 2017 NBA All-Star rosters are all grown up, earning their multimillion-dollar paychecks by being the best basketball players in the world.

2017年NBA全明星球员都成长起来了，他们是世界上最好的篮球运动员，都拿着数百万美元的球队顶薪。

But they wouldn't have made it to where they are now if they forgot where they came from. Lucky for them, I haven't forgotten where they've come from, and I've got pictures to remind them.

然而，如果他们都忘记自己的当年，他们就不会达到今天的成就。不过他们很走运，我没有忘记这些最好的篮球运动员来自何方，我也有一些值得他们回忆的图片。

Dwight Howard

德怀特·霍华德

I'm sure Dwight Howard's never used steroids, but it sure looks like he has. It looks like Howard doubled in size since leaving high school for the NBA.

我敢保证，魔兽霍华德从未用过生长激素，但在其他人看来，他似乎用了很多。自从离开高中进入NBA后，霍华德的体形似乎翻了一番。

The high school version of Howard isn't nearly as intimidating as the new one. Just goes to show how much ridiculous hard work goes into becoming an NBA All-Star.

高中版的霍华德不像NBA版的霍华德那样令人生畏。如此看来，成为一个NBA巨星，霍华德付出了十倍的努力。

Derrick Rose

德里克·罗斯

This one's just like looking in the mirror, mainly because Derrick Rose was in high school just six years ago in 2006.

公牛队当家球星罗斯的这两张照片就跟在照镜子一样，可能是因为照片中的罗斯还处于2006年的高中时代，也不过是六年前。

It's hard enough for NBA defenders to stop Rose, so just imagine how ridiculously hard that must have been back in high school with Rose being nearly the same size that he is now.

在NBA，很少人能防得住罗斯。那么，你可以想象，在罗斯的高中年代，有着和现在一样的NBA身板，要防住他更是天方夜谭。

Dwyane Wade

德文·韦德

If Dwyane Wade lost 30 pounds of muscle, you wouldn't be able to tell him apart from the high school version of himself.

如果现在的闪电侠韦德减掉30磅肌肉，那你可能就分不清NBA版和高中版的韦德了。

Wade was probably a little easier to stop back in high school before he had filled into his 6'4'' frame that makes him so unstoppable today.

或许，你能让高中版的韦德停下脚步，但是，当韦德长到6尺4寸时，他变得无法阻挡。

Carmelo

卡梅隆·安东尼

Oh Carmelo, I wish you still had your high school mini-fro. It was absolutely epic.

噢，卡梅隆，真希望你还有高中时的风采，因为那时的你是史诗般的存在。

Maybe 'Melo's mini-fro is the missing key to an NBA Championship for the New York Knicks. Oh no, wait, the missing link is Jeremy Lin—but still, 'Melo's mini-fro wouldn't hurt the Knicks' title hopes.

或许，在纽约尼克斯夺取NBA总冠军的道路上，缺失的关键就是甜瓜（安东尼的昵称）。噢，不，等等，林书豪才是他们欠缺的一环。然而，无论怎样，甜瓜不会妨碍尼克斯的冠军梦。

小编碎碎念：华裔球员林书豪的一夜爆红，让因病缺阵的尼克斯当家球星小甜瓜安东尼颇有几分“躺着也中枪”的无辜感。

LeBron James

勒布朗·詹姆斯

I wonder why LeBron James doesn't wear those weird things on his biceps and shoulder anymore. Well, actually I bet he doesn't wear them because they're useless.

为什么小皇帝詹姆斯不在双头肌和肩膀上再带那些奇怪的饰物，对此我很好奇。当然，我敢打赌他不会再带那些东西——因为它们没啥用处。

Anyway, it's nice to see that LeBron has filled into his monster physique nicely in the past nine years.

总之，勒布朗在过去的9年里能很好地强化他那野兽般的身躯，我们感到很欣慰。
