4、致球迷的信
11月30日,科比亲自撰文宣布本赛季结束后将正式以球员身份退役。而在随后的一场湖人主场迎战步行者的比赛中,来到斯台普斯中心的每一名球员都收到了这样一封来自科比的信:
最后附上科比致球迷的一封信译文:
when we first met,I was just a kid。
当我们第一次相遇时,我还只是个孩子
Some of you took me in,Some of you didn‘t 。
你们中有些人接受了我,有些人还没
But all of you helped me become the player and man in front of you today,
不过每一个人都帮助我成长为了,今天站在你们面前的这个球员和男人
You gave me the confidence to put my anger to good use,
你们给了我自信,让我能将愤怒转化为动力
Your doubt gave me determination to prove you wrong,
你们的质疑,让我立下志向证明你们是错的
You witnessed my fears morph into strength,
你们见证了我将畏惧转化为力量
Your rejection taught me courage,
你们的嫌弃,教会了我鼓起勇气面对
Whether you view me as a hero or a villain,
无论你们将我视为英雄抑或是恶棍
Please know I poured every emotion,every bit of passion and my entire self into being a Laker,
都请记得,我将所有这一切情绪、激情与自我,全都混杂在在一起,这才成为了一名湖人
What you‘ve done for me is far greater than anything I’ve done for you。
你们为我所做的一切,远胜于我为你们的付出
I knew that each minute of each game I wore purple and gold,
我深知这一点,在我身着紫金战袍的每场比赛中的每一分、每一秒
I honor it as I play today and for the rest of this season。
能够在今天还站在场上,并且还将打完这剩余的赛季,这是我的荣耀
My love for this city, this team and for each of you will never fade。
我对这座城市、这支球队,以及你们中的每一个人的热爱,永远不会褪色
Thank you for this incredible journey。
感谢你们陪我度过这段神奇的旅程。
