昨晚对于很多篮球球迷来说可能都是个不眠之夜。
北京时间的2月25日凌晨2点，主题为生命的礼赞的科比-布莱恩特追思会将在洛杉矶斯台普斯中心举行。
当地时间1月26日，41岁的科比布莱恩特、其女儿吉安娜布莱恩特和其他7人在美国加利福尼亚州的一起直升机坠机事故中不幸罹难。
这次追悼会是科比的妻子瓦妮莎在科比逝世后首次公开露面，她发表了感人至深的演讲，纪念科比以及两人的女儿吉安娜。
The wife of Kobe Bryant spoke publicly for the first time at the memorial for him and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who were killed along with seven others last month in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
演讲时，他一边流泪一边说道：科比是我非常亲近的朋友，就像我的小兄弟一样，我们过去无话不谈。
“Maybe it surprised people … but we were very close friends,” said Jordan.“Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I. I just wanted to talk about Kobe.”
尽管是对手，乔丹说科比经常打电话向他请教篮球技术，尽管刚开始被吵醒很生气，但很快两人就兴致勃勃讨论起篮球。
“At first, it was an aggravation,” he said. “But then it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would never know. “He wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be,” Jordan continued. “And as I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.”
在演讲中，乔丹开了一个玩笑缓解现场的气氛：“接下来3-4年，我将不得不看着我的另一个哭泣表情包火了，这是科比对我做的。我跟我妻子说，我不想去参加追思会，因为我可不想在接下来3-4年时间里看我的哭泣表情包。”
“I told my wife I wasn’t going to do this because I didn’t want to see this for another three or four years,” cracked Jordan, drawing a wave of laughter. “This is what Kobe Bryant does to you.”
最后，乔丹流着泪说：“当科比去世，我身体的一部分也死去了。”令所有人泪目。
When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died.
