我是因為"他"才開始踏入NBA
我是因為"他"才開始接觸籃球
他是我的夢
15年來 隨著他起起伏伏
我始終相信他會再站起來
現在 雖然他離開了這個籃球的最高殿堂
所以籃球員的夢想
但 MAGIC 1 還是永永遠遠活在這裡

我能為他做的唯一一件小事就是獻上我第一篇翻譯
翻的爛爛的請見諒
我知道上面有一篇新聞了 但我附上原稿對照 :D


There are times in life that a new road presents itself and it appears this
time has come for me now. I am so proud of what I have accomplished these
past 15 years playing in the NBA. It was a dream entering the league as I
just turned 18 years old. I worked hard and poured my heart and soul into
this game. I consider myself a student of the game as I have watched, studied
and played with and against the best players in the world. The NBA was my
University and I learned so much. The gratitude I feel is really
immeasurable. I have experienced the best moments a player can experience and
have had some dark ones too. Both equally important in helping shape me into
the man I am today.

有時，人生的新道路總會自己出現在眼前。而現在輪到我了。


As I leave the league for now, there have been so many profound people who
inspired me along my way. I have to say thank you for guiding me and having
an enormous influence on the way I played basketball. Isaiah Thomas, Rich
Devos, Leslie Alexander and John Gabriel, you believed in me and I thank you.
Jeff Van Gundy, you exemplified the brilliance of what a great coach is.
Steven A. Smith, you gave us players a voice and for that I thank you. Doug
Christy, Charles Oakley, Dee Brown, Mugsy Bogues, Antonio Davis, Dell Curry,
Kevin Willis, you all showed a young kid from Auburndale Florida how to be a
better player. Kobe, you made me work harder and it was an honor to play
against you. And Yao, we shared an experience together that will always be
with me, thank you. Sonny & Pam Vaccarro showed me how there is loyalty and
genuine friendship in this business. Arn Tellem and Tim Hoy, 15 years and you
are still my agents. Thank you for guiding me throughout my career. When all
is said and done, there is so many that made an impact on my life. I am one
blessed man to have the love and never ending support of my wife CleRenda and
the best 4 kids a man can ask for. But most important, I give glory and
thanks to God. It is thru Him that I have been so blessed and I am forever
thankful.

當此時此刻，我將要離開這裡的同時，有太多深刻的人在這條路一上一路啟發我激勵我，
我必須向他們道謝，他們指引我，也在我的籃球之路上給了我非常巨大的影響。Isaiah


As I enter this next chapter, I am excited to play for Qingdao Eagles in
China. I have been to China several times in the last few years and I love
the people and the country. It will be an honor to play for them. Thank you
to every fan that has followed me and believed in me. Injuries and all, I
wouldn’t have changed a thing. I am proud of the mark I left on this game
and am grateful to have been a part this league. It was a dream to play in
front of all of you, each night, in every stadium. Thank you.


謝謝你們。
