I dropped everything and left the Best basketball league in the world to do all of what we know now. 3 championships in a country people said I would pollute but I see nothing but love and a straight hand forward salute.
At one time I had no place for the blood to go and you opened up a portal to your hearts for me to flow.
曾经我无处可去,你们打开怀抱,给我通道,于是我们血脉相连。
You let me live when I was dying. I can’t explain my feeling as I’m crying.
你们给了我新的生命,我很难解释清楚这让人想哭的感觉。
I’m so happy the end is here so you can give me your last cheer.
让我高兴的是,在告别职业生涯时我能站在北京的土地上,这样我就可以最后一次听到你们给我的欢呼。
Ending my basketball career here in China completes me. This is it no NBA no anywhere.
在中国,在这座城市终结我的篮球生涯也让我的人生完整。再没有第二个地方能够如此。
This is the way it’s supposed to end here with you and only you.
这就是这旅程应有的结局,和你们在一起,只和你们在一起。
I don’t want to talk to much because I can be here for a lifetime in expressing my deepest love for you.
我不想再说更多,因为如果时间足够,我可以用去一辈子的时间讲述给你们听我有多爱你们。
I heard a saying that you create your fame when I beg to differ, the people create this lane.
有人说你赢得了盛名,我不敢苟同,是人民创造了所有。
This is how you become Legend this is how you become BEIJING LEGEND by the people.
这就是你成为传奇的方式,人民让我成了北京传奇。
If you want to live and compete in this city, if you want to gain respect and love, if you want to become a legend, you have to embrace this spirit.
如果你想在这座城市里生存下去,如果你想赢得爱与尊重,如果你想成为传奇,你得拥抱这种精神。
My mother said stay where you’re loved (China) because Love is stronger than a meaningless hug.
我妈跟我说,就呆在你感受得到爱的中国吧,因为爱比虚情假意的拥抱要有力量得多。
I forgive and I’ll like to be forgiven by anyone who I’ve ever caused harm or hurt, todays the day we write on a clean shirt.
我原谅伤害过我的,也乞求原谅,从今天开始,让我们把那些都抹去,只留下爱。
I want to thank China the CBA, Beikong, Beijing Rural Commerical Bank, My Teammates, Shougang My former Teammates and the City of Beijing for allowing me to live out my dream! My family for supporting me these last 9 years. Without the support of you guys none of this would be possible. I love you all! And of course I want to thank God most of all for giving me all that my heart desires. Thank you all!
