艾弗森退役申明全文

TO ALL OF MY FANS:

I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Aociation.I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to.However, that is not the case.

I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank.I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.

Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my wife and kids.This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I’ve ever achieved on the basketball court.I have prayed for this day and I see it as my greatest gift.

I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always allowing me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all the ups and downs.I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I am grateful.

I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me throughout my entire career.Without you, there would be no me.You should all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart.Thank you!

To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be forever in my heart.

To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all of my family and friends who stood by me from the beginning.Thank you!

To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at Georgetown University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches, teammates, administrators, owners and staff who’ve been a part of my career, Thank you as well!

I’d like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis.I never played a home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know how much I appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in Michael Heisley, and the support of the city.I wish the Memphis Grizzlies’ organization all of the succe that the game has to offer.

And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of my days in a Sixers’ uniform.To Philly fans, thank you.Your voice will always be music to my ears.

God Ble all of you,

致我的球迷：

我宣布将从NBA退役。一直以来，我以为当我离开比赛的时候，原因会是我无法再以习惯的方式帮助球队。然而，事实却并非如此。

我依然挚爱比赛，想要比赛，我依然有能力。我确信自己仍然可以在最高水平上打球。

离开比赛后，我将能够更好地陪伴妻子和孩子。我在球场上取得的一切都无法与此相比。我一直在祈祷这一天，并认为这是给我的最大的礼物。

我要感谢锐步公司的员工们，感谢你们总是允许我做我自己，感谢你们在我职业生涯的起起伏伏中一直支持我。我在NBA度过了13个美好的赛季，对此我很感恩。

我感谢各个地方的我的球迷，你们在我的整个职业生涯中一直陪伴着我。没有你们就没有我。你们一定要知道，我从心底感激你们的支持。谢谢你们！

致Michael Jordan、Magic Johnson、Isiah Thomas、Charles barkley和Larry Bird，你们的比赛使我看到了比赛的魅力，这种感觉将一直留在我的心底。

致我的母亲，您鼓励我、激励我每天投入比赛，并致我的家人和从一开始就站在我身边的朋友们。谢谢你们！

致我的中学教练Michael Bailey、乔治城大学的教练John Thompson、Larry Brown教练以及所有我的教练、队友、管理人、老板和员工，你们是我职业生涯的组成部分，也谢谢你们！

我想特别感谢孟菲斯的人们。我没有在主场为你们热爱的灰熊打一场比赛，但是我想要你们知道我非常感激球队老板Michael Heisley给我的这个机会，和你们对我的支持。我祝愿孟菲斯灰熊能够获得比赛的成功。
