我要感謝NBA和大衛(wèi)·斯特恩。他造就了NBA的今天。我會非常想念比賽及所有相關(guān)的事情。那種競爭、那些同志情誼、那些友情、那些球迷們、和媒體一起插科打諢。還有,我真的會很想念罰球。

籃球為我的生命帶來了很多機會。我代表國家參加奧運會。我完成了碩士學(xué)位。我現(xiàn)在正在邁阿密巴里大學(xué)攻讀人力資源管理的博士。我還參演了一流的電影,如《精靈也瘋狂》。我創(chuàng)造了很多商業(yè)機會。我收獲了終身的友誼。最重要的是,我能夠幫助那些需要幫助的人。我有幸在六支球隊中效力,我想感謝球隊中的所有人,老板們、經(jīng)理們、訓(xùn)練師、設(shè)備管理員、球童、保安,還有很多人。你們都為我的成功做出了貢獻(xiàn),非常感謝你們。
I would like to thank the coaches, who have contributed to my growth and development as aplayer and a person, especially Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers. Phil Jackson was the one whotaught me how to really focus and really concentrate on what is going on and how to get tothe championship level. Playing for Doc Rivers this year is very very special, because we have alot of talents in the team. But Doc Rivers always focuses on the team. I can remember onetime, I came to him, and say, Doc, I'm five for six. If you want, I can go ten for twelve, youknow, or twelve-eighteen. You know, he said:"Shaq, this is not about you, it's about the team."So, you know, thank you Doc. This guy right here next to me, he gave the best three years inmy life. I wanna thank coach Brown for being an ear for listening when I'm having tough andtrouble time. And also thank you for discovering me in the military basement in Wulf.
我想感謝教練,他們對我的成長和發(fā)展都付出了很多。特別是菲爾·杰克遜和道格·里弗斯。菲爾教會了我如何真正集中注意力,如何打出總冠軍級別的籃球賽。這個賽季為里弗斯打球則讓我感覺非常特別。因為我們隊里有很多天賦出眾的球員,但是道格一直看重的是團隊。我記得有一次,我去找他,說:“道格,我現(xiàn)在六投五中,如果你同意,我可以12投10中,或者18投12中。”但是他對我說:“沙奎爾,這不光是你一個人的事,這是一只球隊的比賽。”所以,謝謝你,道格。我旁邊的這位,給我?guī)砹松凶詈玫娜?。我要謝謝布朗教練。在我困難的時候,能認(rèn)真聆聽我的心聲。也感謝你從沃爾夫的軍事基地發(fā)現(xiàn)了我。
