迈克尔·乔丹：退役演说

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball. It won’t be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.

我在这里宣布从篮坛退役，而且这次退役后不会再去从事棒球或其他类似的运动。

Mentally，I’m exhausted，I don’t feel I have a challenge. Physically，I feel great.

由于心理上很疲惫，我感到自己非常缺乏挑战力。体力倒还不错。

The last time in 1993 I had other agendas. I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age，it was a good opportunity and time to do it.

上次我在1993年退役时有别的打算，我想去打棒球，并且觉得当时的年龄是打棒球的好时机。

And with the death of my father，and I was basically trying to deal with that.

但是父亲去世了，我不得不全力处理这件事。

Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time，mentally，I was a little exhausted.

事实上，去年赛季刚结束时，我和杰里谈过一次。我告诉他我在精神上有些疲惫，不知道下一年还能不能打。

I didn’t know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.

我想让他意识到这一点，以便为下一赛季做准备。

And Jerry，once we had our conversation，wanted me to take time as I did in 1993 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.

有一次我和杰里谈过这个问题，他让我像1993年那样，好好考虑，以便作出明智的决定，因为这将是最后的决定。

I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach. And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time，mentally finding the challenge for myself，although he can somehow present challenges for me.

我第一次退役时的教练是费尔·杰克逊。我那时觉得即使是费尔当教练，我的日子也不会好过。我要在精神上给自己寻找挑战，尽管他有时也会给我一些挑战，但我不知道他能否给我足够的挑战让我继续打完这个赛季。

I don’t know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season. Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years，but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.

在赛季中间的时候，我还想过再打几年，但当赛季结束时，我从内心感到彻底地枯竭和疲惫。

So I can’t say that he would have restored that.I will support the Chicago Bulls.

所以我想他没法帮我恢复精力。我会支持芝加哥公牛队。

I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.

我觉得这项运动本身比乔丹重要得多。

I’ve been given an opportunity by people before me，to name a few，Kareem Abdul Jabbar，Doctor J，Eljohn Baylor，Jerry West.

我的前辈给了我很多机会，比如卡里姆·阿卜杜尔·贾巴尔、J博士、埃尔金·贝勒、杰里·韦思特。

These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.

这些人早在乔丹出生前就活跃在赛场上了，乔丹是踩着他们的脚步来的。

Mr Stern and what he’s done for the league，gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball.

斯特恩先生及其为联盟所做的一切给了我打篮球的机会。

I played it to the best I could play it，I tried to enhance the game itself. I’ve tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.

我尽了自己的所能，努力地推动篮球事业的发展，也尽了最大的努力成为最好的球员。
