當地時間1月26日上午10點左右，美國加利福尼亞州發生一起直升機墜機事故。NBA著名球星科比布萊恩特在這起墜機事故中身亡，年僅41歲。最新報道，機上共有9人，包括8名乘客和1名飛行員，全部遇難。
回首其曾經所做的貢獻不僅是籃球本身，更重要的是他那不斷奮鬥永不服輸的精神伴隨著一代人的成長，科比布萊恩特，24號的傳奇會在籃球史上永遠閃耀！
在2017年12月19日，在勇士和湖人中場休息時段，科比球衣退役儀式隆重舉行。他成為了NBA歷史上第一位在同一支球隊退役兩個球衣號碼的球員。
以下為科比退役演講雙語對照版
Thank you so much for tonight. But it's not about my jerseys that are hanging up there for me, It's about the jerseys that were hanging up there before. It goes on and on. Without them, I couldn't be here today. They inspired me to play the game at a higher level.Magic [Johnson], Cap [Kareem Abdul-Jabbar], Shaq pushing me every day. [Elgin] Baylor. [Walt] Chamberlain. [Gail] Goodrich. [Jerry] West. [James] Worthy.
謝謝你們，謝謝你們，我想說的是，非常感謝這個夜晚，不是因為懸掛在那裡的我的球衣，而是之前退役的那些球衣，沒有他們，不會有今天的我，賈巴爾、魔術師、韋斯特、沙克他們每一天都在激勵著我。
And secondly, it's about this class organization...Jerry buss, your father believed in this skinny kid from Lower merion high school philadafia.and it's also about the next generation, it's about current Lakers roster that we have here. It's about embodying the spirit that exists in those jerseys up there and carrying this organization forward so that the next 20 years are better than the past 20 years. That's what it's about.
我得感謝珍妮巴斯的父親——傑裡巴斯把我帶到這兒來。球衣本身只是一件球衣，但每一件退役的球衣都代表著一種精神，這種精神將繼續扛著這支球隊前進，接下來的20年要比過去20年更加美好，這就是它的意義所在。
Then also about fans, the media. I thank all of you guys all understand that how presence you guys are with me, 5:30 in the morning when i was running on my track or when i am on my way to my work, i didn't know if i can make it through, i thought about the expectation you got for me and you have for our team, it push me through, it got me throught those 800 meters, 400 meter and 100 meters at 5:30 in the morning, i thank you.
感謝球迷，感謝媒體。你們不懂你們有多重要，在我早晨起床鍛鍊時，我都不知道自己能不能起來，但我知道一定要對得起你們的期待。
And it's about family. It's about my wife, Vanessa. You guys don't know this, but my last game that we had here against the Utah Jazz, I was really tired. I got home, and I was like, 'I don't know if I can do this thing. I got one more game left, but I don't have any legs.' And she said, 'I want to show you something. I got a gift for you for your last game.' And she proceeded to show me the row of retired jerseys from Baylor, from Magic, from Shaq, from Cap, all with personal messages signed to me, including from Michael Jordan, including from the great Bill Russell, including from the great Larry Byrd. When I saw that, I knew then that I had to turn it up," Kobe recalled as his wife watched, smiling wide. "So, thank you, baby, for being an inspiration to me.
還得感謝我的家庭，我的妻子瓦妮莎。上次我在這打球之前，最後一場，我說我太累了，不知道能打成什麼樣。瓦妮莎給我看了那些名宿的視頻，看到了貝勒、喬丹、伯德、沙克的視頻。我知道自己需要振作起來，謝謝你一直鼓勵我。
Lastly our daughters, Natalia, Bianca and Gianna. You guys know that if you do the work, you work hard enough, dreams come true. You know that, we all know that. But hopefully what you get from tonight is that those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when don’t feel like working — you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself — but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. And if you guys can understand that, what you’ll see happen is that you won’t accomplish your dreams, your dreams won’t come true, something greater will. (Points to the rafters). And if you guys can understand that, then I’m doing my job as a father.”
我的三個女兒，我希望他們明白，那些你早起的時光，那些你努力工作的時光，那些你熬夜的時光，努力學習的時光，那些你感覺自己沒有在努力工作，感覺太疲憊的時光，那些你不想再逼迫自己，但仍還是選擇繼續那樣做的時光，那就是追尋夢想的意義。
Thank you, I love you, Mamba out!
謝謝大家，我愛你們，mamba out！
