"What can I say? Mamba out."(我能说什么呢?黑曼巴退役。)
“You know, I can’t believe how fast 20 years went by. I mean, this is crazy. To be standing here at center court with you guys, my teammates behind me, and appreciating all this, you know, the journey that we’ve been on. And we’ve been through our ups and been through our downs, and I think the most important part is that we all stayed together throughout. You know, I grew up, I grew up a diehard, I mean a diehard Laker fan. Diehard. I mean, I knew, knew everything about every player that’s ever played here. So to be drafted and then traded to this organization and to spend 20 years here, I mean, you can’t, you can’t write something better than this. And I’m more proud, I’m more proud of the fact that, not about the championships, but about the down years, because we didn’t run. We didn’t run. We played through all that stuff, and we got our championships, and we did it the right way. And all I can do here is just thank you guys. Thank you guys for all the years of support. Thank you guys for all the motivation. Thank you for all the inspiration. And you know, what’s funny, the thing that had me cracking up all night long, was the fact that I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball, then the last night, they’re like, ‘Don’t pass it!’ This has been absolutely beautiful, you guys. I can’t believe it’s come to an end. You guys will always be in my heart, and I sincerely, sincerely appreciate it. No words can describe how I feel about you guys. And thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. God, I love you guys. What can I say? Mamba out.”(你们知道吗?我简直不敢相信20年过得这么快。这太疯狂了。站在这里的中心球场,你们在我身后,感激着我们所经历的这一切旅程。我们经历了起起伏伏,但最重要的是我们始终团结在一起。我从小就是一个铁杆湖人队球迷。铁杆。我是说,我了解曾经在这里打过球的每一位球员。所以被选中然后被交易到这个组织,并在这里度过20年,我意思是,你不能比这更好了。而且我更自豪的不是冠军,而是低谷时期,因为我们没有逃跑。我们没有逃跑。我们度过了所有困难,我们获得了冠军,我们是用正确的方式做到的。我在这里能做的就是感谢你们。感谢你们多年的支持。感谢你们所有的动力。感谢你们所有的启发。你知道,有趣的是,整晚让我哈哈大笑的事情是,我经历了20年的所有人都在尖叫让我传球,然后在最后一晚,他们说,‘不要传球!’这一切实在太美好了,伙计们。我简直不敢相信它已经结束了。你们永远都会在我的心中,我真诚地、真诚地感激着。没有语言可以描述我对你们的感受。谢谢你们,我爱你们。我能说什么呢?黑曼巴退役。)
