DearBasketball
From the mom started rolling my dad's tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots in the GRE. at Western ForumI knew one thing was real:I fell in love with you.
A love so deep I gave you my all —From my mind & bodyTo my spirit & soul.
As a six-year-old boyDeeply in love with youI never saw the end of the tunnel.I only saw myselfRunning out of one.
And so I ran.I ran up and down every courtAfter every loose ball for you.You asked for my hustleI gave you my heartBecause it came with so much more.
I played through the swe at and hurtNot because challenge called meBut because YOU called me.I did everything for YOUBecause that’s what you doWhen someone makes you feel asAli ve as you’ve made me feel.
You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dreamAnd I’ll always love you for it.But I can’t love you obsessively for much longe r.This season is all I have left to give.My heart can take the poundingMy mind can handle the grindBut my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
And th at’s OK.I’m ready to let you go.I want you to know nowSo we both can savor every moment we have left together.The good and the bad.We have given each otherAll that we have.?
And we both know, no matter what I do nextI’ll always be that kidWith the rolled up socksGarbage can in the corner:5 seconds on the clockBall in my hands.5 … 4 … 3 … 2 ... 1
Love You Always, Kobe
Translated Chinese
Dear Basketball:
When I was a child, I put on my father's socks and imagined that I would shoot one winning goal after another at the Great west forum Arena. From then on, I was convinced that I had fallen in love with you deeply. This love is so deep. I have given everything for you-from heart and body to spirit and soul.
when I was six years old, I loved you so much that I never imagined the end of the tunnel. I just imagine myself running out of the tunnel. So I started running.
I run in every basketball court, fighting for every chance to control the ball for you. You want me to fight hard, I will give all my heart and body. Because it needs more than just fighting. I struggle in sweat and pain, not because the challenge is calling, but because you are calling me.
everything I do is for you, because you do the same to me. People give you vitality, and you make me feel alive. A six-year-old boy's Lakers dream came true, and I will love you forever for it.
but this spoony love is unsustainable. All I can give you is this season. My heart can still bear the violent beating
My will can still cope with the painful training, but my body knows: It's time to say goodbye. It doesn't matter.
I'm ready to say goodbye.
I'm telling you now just so that we can all cherish the remaining minutes.
whether you are happy or sad. We all gave everything for each other. We all know that no matter what I do in the future,
I will always be the child with a stocking, holding a basketball in my hand, aiming at the trash can in the corner and pretending that there are five seconds left:
5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1
Love you forever,
Kobe

Kobe spirit
The stadium is the battlefield, and only by breaking through oneself can we become the protagonist of this tough battle. Persistence is the character of the strong, the secret of the winner, and the highest fighting meaning in Kobe. There is a kind of persistence called Kobe? Bryant!
insist? Is to be able to stand alone in the storm of fate.
insist? It is a killer from ordinary to extraordinary.
insist? Make him the belief of many fans.
A great player who constantly seeks self-breakthrough through persistence
is a myth that never leaves this era!
when I was a child, I imagined how my career would end. I hope that when the fans think of me, they will think that my achievements have exceeded expectations and my talents. It means a lot to me to let others think like this, because it shows that I really worked hard. They acknowledged my hard work and my unreserved.
