I know I'm not the only one who loves you. I know you have loved many before me

and will love many after me. But, I also know what we had was unique. It was

special. So as our relationship changes yet again, as all relationships do, one

thing is for sure.

我曉得並不是只有我喜歡你而已。我知道，在我還未接觸你時，你愛過許多人；在我離開

後，你還是會繼續愛上許多人。但，我們所擁有的，卻是獨一無二，相當特別。所以當我

們的關係再次產生變化，包括各種關係，有一件事是不變的。

I love you, Basketball. I love everything about you and I always will. My

playing days in the NBA are definitely over, but our relationship will never

end.

我愛你，籃球！我愛你的每一切，而且將永遠持續下去。我NBA生涯確定已經結束，但我們

的情感將永遠不會結束。

Much Love and Respect,

Michael Jordan

無限的愛與敬意

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.
26times,Ive been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed."
