2020 是個需要學會告別的一年。年初五的清晨,從太平洋的另一端傳來的噩耗,震撼全球球迷,編輯至今不敢相信這居然是真的⋯⋯傳奇球星「Kobe Bryant」與女兒 Gianna Maria Onore 於1/26 美西時間上午 9 點,乘坐私人直升機前往球賽現場時,不幸墜機生亡。
Kobe Bryant 2016年於 NBA 退役,最後謝幕戰狂砍 60 分,賽後感言最後說出那句「Mamba Out」後,光榮退役。時隔三年,沒想到如今,我們真的與黑曼巴就此告別。
做為 NBA 歷史上最偉大的球員之一,Kobe Bryant 在球場上令人讚嘆的球技、堅持 20 年守著湖人的情操,都相當令人尊敬。Kobe 過去曾經說過不少金句名言,除了展現王者般的自信與霸氣,也深深影響著喜愛他的球迷,以下為各位整理 10 句這些年來老大的名言,永遠不忘曼巴精神!
- When we are saying this cannot be accomplished, this cannot be done, then we are short-changing ourselves. My brain, it cannot process failure. It will not process failure. Because if I have to sit there and face myself and tell myself, 'You're a failure,' I think that is a worse, that is almost worse than death.
當我們說這無法實現,無法完成時,那自我的改變就非常有限。我的大腦無法處理失敗,它不會處理失敗。因為如果我必須待在那裡面對自己並告訴自己:「你是一個失敗者」,我認為這幾乎比死亡還要更糟。
- I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.
我和懶惰且只會指責別人的人沒有共同之處。偉大的事情來自勤奮和毅力,沒有任何藉口。
- I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.
我無法了解懶惰的人,因為我們說的是不同的語言,我不了解,我也不想去了解。
- Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.
一旦你知道失敗的感覺,決心才會成功。
- I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
我願意做任何能夠贏得比賽的事,即使只是坐在板凳上擰毛巾、遞茶水給隊員,或投出致勝一球。
- If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.
如果你害怕失敗,那你很有可能就會失敗。
- I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
我不想當下一個麥可喬丹,我只想當科比布萊恩。
- The moment you give up, is the moment you let someone else win
當你放棄的那一刻,就是讓別人獲勝的那一刻。
- I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.
我就在這,哪裡也不去。無論受了什麼傷、除非我完全衰弱,我將永遠是我。我會新的辦法,會做出一些調整、一些改變,但我還是會回來。
- I’m chasing perfection.
我追求完美。
