第三天了，仍然沒法接受。
不僅是我，相信世界上和籃球稍有交集的人，都無法接受這個事實。這位享譽全球的NBA巨星，這位影響了幾代人青春的籃球鬥士，竟然以這樣一種方式離開了這個世界。
我本以為，他會慢慢老去，然後終於一天，聽到他病逝在自己家裡的消息。
但這已經不可能了。
在搜索科比照片的時候，有一種不真實的感覺。
雖然不是籃球迷，但從初中就有開始看他的比賽，直到他退役。一張張彩色的照片，承載的是一個鮮活的形象，彷彿還能看到他接受訪談時的談笑風生，還能看到他標誌性的後仰跳投。
他在我們青春裡的足印，太過深刻。
在中國，科比最為球迷所熟知的名言，是當年記者問他為何能夠取得成功的時候，他回答的一句話：
“你見過凌晨四點的洛杉磯嗎？”
也正是這一句話，激勵了一代又一代的人，為自己的夢想付諸努力，拼搏奮鬥。
那是一種凌晨四點的精神，一種曼巴精神。
而如今，洛杉磯凌晨的四點，星光黯淡了。
在科比逝去的第三天，我從網上再收集了24句科比說過的話。這些話主要來自於他的twitter和訪問。
希望這些話，能夠跟他的曼巴精神一道，繼續指引我們堅持不懈，永不言棄。
關於追求成功
"When you make a choice and say, 'Come hell or high water, I am going to be this,' then you should not be surprised when you are that. It should not be something that is intoxicating or out of character because you have seen this moment for so long that ... when that moment comes, of course it is here because it has been here the whole time, because it has been [in your mind] the whole time."
“當你做了一個決定，心裡默唸：‘管你來的洪水猛獸，我無論如何都要做到！’——當你這麼說的時候，不必驚訝。這不是醉話，也不是你變了，這是因為你已經無數次看過那個畫面，直到……那一刻到來，你知道那是理所當然的，因為它一直在這裡，一直在你的腦海裡。”
"I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot."
“我會不惜一切贏得比賽——不管是坐在替補席上揮舞毛巾，將水遞給隊友，還是命中一記絕殺球。”
“I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. ”
“我極度渴望勝利，並且，我接受挑戰。”
"The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win."
“你放棄的那一刻，就是你讓別人勝利的那一刻。”
"Winning takes precedence over all. There’s no gray area. No almosts."
“勝利凌駕所有一切。沒有灰色地帶。沒有差不多。”
"I am chasing perfection."
“我在追求完美。”
關於失敗
"I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it."
“我也會自我懷疑。我也有不安全感。我也會害怕失敗。有些晚上，當我上場時，我會想，'我的背很疼，腳也疼，膝蓋也受傷了。我沒有狀態。我只想退縮。’ 我們都會自我懷疑。你不必否認這點，但也不要屈服於它。擁抱它。”
"Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success."
“一旦你知道了失敗是什麼滋味，你的決心就會追逐成功。”
"When we are saying this cannot be accomplished, this cannot be done, then we are short-changing ourselves. ”
“當我們說這做不到，那做不到的時候，我們是在欺騙自己。”
“If I have to sit there and face myself and tell myself, 'You are a failure,' I think that is almost worse than dying."
“如果我不得不坐在這裡，面對自己，對自己說，“你是一個失敗者”，我認為這比死更糟。”
"If you are afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail."
"如果你怕輸，你就很可能輸。”
關於逆境
"I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury -- unless it's completely debilitating -- I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming."
“我就在這兒，哪都不去。無論受了什麼傷——除非是徹底治不好的——我都將重新成為球場上的那個我。我會想辦法的。會有一些調整，一些改變，但是我仍然會再次上場。”
“Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change."
”傷痛是你腦子裡讓你退縮的一個小聲音，因為它知道，一旦你繼續前進，你將脫胎換骨。”
"Everything negative -- pressure, challenges -- is all an opportunity for me to rise."
一切消極因素——壓力、挑戰——都是我崛起的機會。
關於領導力
"The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful."
“重要的是，你的隊友必須知道你正在為他們努力，而且你確實希望他們取得成功。”
"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great at whatever they want to do."
“最重要的是，努力激勵他們，讓他們能夠將自己想做的事做到極致。”
"Leadership is lonely ... I'm not going to be afraid of confrontation to get us to where we need to go."
“領袖是孤獨的。但任何阻擋在通往目的地路上的困難險阻，我都不會畏懼。”
“If I panic, everyone else panics.”
“如果我恐慌，其他人都會恐慌。”
關於努力
"I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you."
“我和懶人沒有交集。我們沒有共同語言。我不懂這群人，也不想懂這群人。”
"Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses."
“偉大的成就來自於勤奮和毅力。沒有任何藉口。”
"Dedication sees dreams come true."
“專注投入，方能夢想成真。”
關於毅力
"I've played with IVs before, during and after games. I've played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place."
“我在比賽前、比賽中和比賽後都打過點滴。我在場上的時候，試過帶著骨折的手，扭傷的腳踝，撕裂的肩膀，崩了的牙齒，咬破的嘴唇，腫得像壘球一樣大的膝蓋，但我堅持下來了。我不會因為明眼人一看就知道不太嚴重的腳趾受傷而缺席15場比賽。”
關於人生
“I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.”
“我不想成為邁克爾喬丹。我只想成為獨一無二的科比·布萊恩特。”
“It's the one thing you can control. You are responsible for how people remember you --- or don't. So don't take it lightly."
"有一件事你自己說了算。人們如何記住你——或者忘記你——都由你自己說了算，所以，不要敷衍過去。”
願科比安息。願曼巴精神永存。
