Dear Basketball《亲爱的篮球》原文：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
《亲爱的篮球》翻译文
自从第一次穿上父亲的短筒袜，想像自己身在论坛球场 (1967-1999年湖人主场) 投进那些致胜一击时，我明白了一件事「我已深深爱上你了。」
我愿意付出所有，将我的身心灵，全部投入在你身上，当我还是一个爱篮球的6岁小男孩，我从没预见这条路的尽头，只看到不断在这条路奔跑的自己，我不停的跑，在球场上无止尽的跑，为你拚战每一颗球。
你期望我能奋力衝抢，我则是给了你所有，因为这其中蕴含太多意义，我总是带着伤痛打球，打到汗流浃背，不是因为挑战呼唤我，而是因为你唤醒了我，我做的一切都是因为你，因为你让我感受到「活着」。
你仁慈的赋予一个6岁男孩拥有湖人梦，为此，我将永远爱着你，但我无法继续如此疯狂的爱你了，这个球季已是我能付出的所有。
我的心还能够承受一次又一次撞击，我的心还能够面对这些试炼，但我的身体知道，是时候说再见了，没事的，我已经准备好让你离开，我希望现在让你知道。
因为如此，我们才能在接下来的时间，尽情享受每一刻，无论好坏，这都是我们曾经给予对方的所有，而我们都知道，无论接下来我做什么，我永远都是那个孩子，卷起袜子，瞄准墙角的垃圾桶。球赛还剩5秒，球就在我的手中！5…4…3…2…1
永远爱你的Kobe
