向傳奇致敬，再見黑曼巴！Kobe寫詩告別

美國職籃NBA傳奇球星Kobe Bryant在今日發出本季結束退休聲明稿：

「是時候告別，我沒有留下一絲遺憾，滿是你們對我的關愛，這滿溢的愛令我付出所有，傾盡全力將意志、身軀與靈魂灌注。」（ I fell in love with you. A love so deep I gave you my all -From my mind & bodyTo my spirit & soul.）-一代傳奇球星的生涯就此落幕。

今天早上看到這份聲明小編眼淚都要飆出來了，從國小到現在，終於可以了解支持一位球員超過10年時，等到他要退休的那一刻的不捨，不捨他生涯末年還遭受三次大傷，即便努力康復回到場上，但隨著年齡增長、體力下滑，他的身體真的已經承受不住了！

而今天與溜馬之役，後決勝期轟進的2記3分球，看到的是意志堅定的Kobe，看到的是他對籃球的堅持，有一種意志堅定叫Kobe Bryant！

小編特別整理出，Kobe Bryant這20年職業生涯中帶給我們的是無數次的震撼的榮耀：

關於Kobe Bryant，我們也不可不知《Muse》中提及的精神標語：

「我們都是平庸的人，在做平庸的事情。

　可是當我在場上時，我拒絕成為平庸，

　這都是自己必須做出的選擇。

　假如你想要成就偉大的傳奇，

　你就做出選擇，

　而我早已做出自己的選擇。

　當我們遇到困難、遇到各種鳥事阻擋下，

　我們也都會動搖，但我們已經做出選擇。」

Kobe是激勵人心的逐夢者，

無法忘記他的『曼巴精神』，

無法忘記每個翻身後仰跳投，

無法忘記每個最後一擊，

無法忘記那驚天動地的81分，

Kobe引退全文：

Dear Basketball

From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,
Kobe
