Dear Basketball

It's been almost 28 years since the first day we met 28 years since I saw you in the back of our garage 28 years since my parents intriduced us

If someone would have told me then, what would become of us, I'm not sure I would have believed them I barely remembered your name

Then I started seeing you around the neighborhood and watching you on television I used to see you with guys down at the playground But when my older brother started paying more attention to you, I started to wonder Maybe you were different

We hung out a few times The more I got to know you, the more I liked you And as life would have it, when I finally got really interested in you, when I was finally ready to get serious, left me off the varsity You told me I wasn't good enough

I was crushed I was hurt I think I even cried

Then I waited you more than ever So I practiced I hustled I worked on my game Passing Dribbling Shooting Thinking I ran I did sit-ups I did push-up I did pull-ups I lifted weights I studied you I began to fall in love and you noticed At least that's what Coach Smith said

At the time, I wasn't sure exactly what was going on But now I know Coach Smith was teaching me how to love you, how to listen to you, how to understand you, how to respect you and how to appreciated you Then it happened That rights, at the Louisiana Superdome, in the final seconds of the championship game against Georgetown, you found me in the corner and we danced

Since then, you've become so much more than just a ball to me You've become more than just a court More than just a hoop More than just a pair of a sneakers More than just a game

In some respects, you've become my life My passion My motivation My inspiration

You're my biggest fan and my harshest critic You're my dearest friend and my strongest ally You're my most challenging teacher and my most endearing student You're my ultimate teammate and my toughest competitor You're my passport around the world and my visa into the hearts of millions

So much has changed since the first day we met, and to a large degree, I have you to thank So if you havn't heard me say it before, let me say it now for the world to hear Thank you, Basketball Thank you for everything

Thank you for all the players who came before me Thank you for all the players who went into battle with me Thank you for the championships and the rings Thank you for the All-Star Games and the Playoffs Thank you for the last shots, the buzzer-beaters, the hard fouls, the victories and the defeats thank you for making me earn my keep Thank you for #23 Thank you for north Carolina and Chicago Thank you for the air and the nickname Thank you for the moves and the hang time Thank you for the Slam-Dunk Contest Thank you for the will and the determination, the heart and the soul, the pride and the courage Thank you for the competitive spirit and the competition to challenge it Thank you for the failures and the setbacks, the blessings and the applause Thank you for the triangle Thank you for the baseball and the Barons Thank you for forgiving me Thank you for the assistant coaches, the trainers and the physical therapists Thank you for the announcers, the refs, the writers, the reporters, the broadcasters and the radio stations Thank you for the Pistons and the Lakers, the Cavs and the Knicks, the Sixers and the Celtics Thank you for Phoenix, Portland, Seattle and Utah thank you for the Wizards Thank you for the believers and the doubters Thank you for Coach Smith, Coach Loughery, Coach Albeck, Coach Collins and Coach Jackson Thank you for the education and the experience Thank you for teaching me the game behind, beneath, within, above and around the gamethe game game Thank you for every fan who has ever called my name, put their hands together for me and my teammates, slapped me five or patted me on the back Thank you for everything you've given my family Thank you for the moon and the stars, and last but not least, thank you for Bugs and Mars

I know I'm notthe only one who loves you I know you have loved many before me and will love many after me But, I also know what we had was unique It was special So as our relationship, changes yet again, as all relationships do, one thing is for sure

I love you, Basketball I love everything about you and I always will My playing days in the NBA are definitely over, but our relatinship will never end

Much Love and Respect,

Michael Jordan

亲爱的篮球：

一转眼，接近28年了，从我们萍水相逢的第一天算起，28年了，从我家中车库后面看见你的第一眼算起，28年了，从我父母介绍我们认识算起。

如果那时候就有人告诉我，将来我们之间可能发生些什么，我不知道自己会不会相信他们，因为我几乎不记得你的名字。

我们接触的次数渐渐多了起来，每当我对你多了解一分，我对你的喜爱也就加深了一分。但是生活注定是难以捉摸，当我真正为你痴迷，决心全心投入时，你却让我落选了校队。你告诉我，我还不够出色。

我被击垮了，我的心在刺痛，我甚至觉得泪水悄然滴落。

但我对你的渴望愈发迫切。于是，我开始训练，和大家一起比赛。不断提高自己！传球，运球，投篮，琢磨，奔跑，我练仰卧起坐，我练卧推，我练急停，我练举重，我学习着有关你的一切。我开始深深的爱上你，并且希望得到你的青睐，至少，史密斯教练是这样评价我的。

当时，其实我并不清楚到底发生了什么是。但我现在已经知道了。史密夫教练教会了我如何爱你、学会倾听你、尝试了解你、尊重你并且感谢你。接着，一切就这样发生了。那一晚，在路易斯安娜的超级圆顶球场，在对佐治城大学冠军赛结束前的那一刻，你在球场边静静地凝视我，我们跳起了舞来。

那以后，你对我来所变得更加重要，比起普通的一个球场更加重要，比不同的一个篮圈更加重要，比普通的一场球赛更加重要。

可以从某种程度上说——你是我的生命——我的激情，我的原动力，我的鼓励。

你总是我最忠诚的球迷，对于我来说，也是最严厉的批评家。你是我最亲密的伙伴，却也是我最强劲的敌人。你使是我最激动的老师，也是我最挚爱的学生。你是我最信任的队友，也是场上最难对付的对手。你是我在全世界行动的通行证以及能紧紧扎住数以万计人心灵的签证。

自从我和你第一次见面以后——时光荏苒，岁月沧桑。一切都有了太多的变化。如果你当初接受我的邀请，一切都将是另一个面貌。让我想却世界面前向你告白：多谢，多谢——篮球，多谢你给予我的一切东西。

感谢当代所有的球员，感谢那些曾经和我并肩作战的老队友，感谢那冠军戒指，感谢全明星赛和季候赛。感谢那最后一投。即便是计时器、激烈的对抗、胜利与败北也值得感谢。是你们为我赚到了生活费。感谢曾经的23号球衣，感谢北卡与芝加哥，感谢“空中飞人”这一搓好。感谢我那移动和瞳孔的时间。感谢我的意志和决定，感谢心灵和领会，感谢骄傲与勇气。同样感谢的是三角战术，感谢棒球和巴朗斯。感谢所有人能原谅我。感谢阻力教练、训练员、理疗师，感谢场边所有的报道员、球探、专栏作家、记者、电台和电视台。感谢活塞、湖人、骑士、尼克斯、76人、凯尔特人、太阳、开拓者、超音速、爵士和魔术队。感谢所有曾经怀疑过我的人。当然值得感谢的还有史密夫教练、洛克利教练、格凌斯教练等各位教练。感谢我所有的教育和经验。感谢在我球赛背后许许多多，上中下得球员球迷们。感谢你们只许我的名字，为我和我的队友们鼓掌助威，为我鼓掌或者轻拍我的后辈的所有球迷。感谢你们赐予我及我的家人的一切。月亮、行星同样值得感谢，最要感谢的是那些在广告中扮演我的演员们。

我知道深爱你的人不知我一个。在我之前，又太多的人追求你，今后也会一样，你总会被人爱慕。不过，我知道我们所获得的是独一无二的、是特别的。因此，我们的关系即使在其改变，就像是所有的关系一样——但又一件事是可以肯定的。

我爱你，篮球。

迈克尔乔丹。

2020-2021CBA总决赛尘埃落定，最终广东通过加时赛战胜辽宁，在三局两胜的赛制下以2-1夺得队史第11冠，而辽宁与上赛季一样继续屈居亚军。赛后，辽宁队的超级核心、亚洲第一控卫郭艾伦失声痛哭的画面让亿万辽篮球迷撕心裂肺，大部分球迷都十分理解郭艾伦的心情，也清楚辽篮上下都尽力了。赛后，一位辽篮忠实球迷在朋友圈写下了肺腑之言，笔者打开微信看到后觉得他说的很多内容或许能激起大众的共鸣，故予以分享。

该球迷写到：“花了一个晚上的时间来平复一下心情，说一下对昨天比赛的感受，身为辽宁球迷我觉得既是幸运的也是不幸的，我们一直是一支争冠级别的强队，在外面我可以非常自豪地说自己是一个辽宁球迷，但这种给人希望又让人失望的感觉确实不太好受，而且每次都倒在天亮前确实太煎熬，九次总决赛八次总亚军。”

他补充道：“今年的辽宁是史上最强的辽宁，但却没有拿到最好的结果，总决赛前我们都在聊辽宁的牌面有多么硬，畅想着辽宁可以2:0横扫广东，但却忽视了战术素养和底蕴上的差距，平心而论广东确实是更好的那支球队，他们也配得上今年的总冠军，虽然三场比赛打的都很激烈，但从场面上很明显辽宁跟广东是两个档次的球队。”

他最后指出：“广东有更完整的战术体系和过硬的心理素质，相反辽宁靠的是个人的天赋，虽然是5vs5的比赛，但好像每个回合辽宁都在用某个球员去挑战广东的整个攻防体系，在场面那么难看的情况下辽宁能把每场比赛都咬到最后其实已经是个奇迹输得不冤，我们总会用虽败犹荣和明年再来这种话来安慰自己，但是永远在期待明年这样的日子什么时候才是个头，希望第二个总冠军能尽早到来吧。”
