※ 引述《PUJOLSisGOD (o'_'o)》之銘言：
: Dear Basketball,
籃
: 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:
那刻
那蜷曲的襪
射了
夢裡致勝的框
在那戰場上
我悟了
: I fell in love with you.
愛
: A love so deep I gave you my all —
: From my mind & body
: To my spirit & soul.
深愛
全部的我
從心從身
從靈從魂
: 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.
六歲男孩
深愛不已
看不見隧道的盡頭
看見的是我
跑著
: 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.
我奔
奔波在各處場上
你要的是我熱情
給你的是我心
: 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.
筋疲力竭
不為挑戰
只為
你
: 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.
六歲
男孩
湖人
夢
愛
卻不能再愛
只能
給你最後的
愛
心能煎
身能熬
但肉體
道別著
: 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.
可以的
走吧
趁別離前
安穩的
道別
: 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
未知
未來
我依舊是
六歲男孩
襪
蜷曲
桶
角落沈默著
手裡的球
5 4 3 2 1
