1、乔丹退役英语演说稿乔丹退役英语演说稿I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball. It wont be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.Mentally, Im exhausted, I dont feel I have a challenge. Physically, I feel great. The last time in 1993 I had other agendas. I felt that I wanted
2、to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it. And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted. I didnt
3、 know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season. And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.I retir
4、ed 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. I dont know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on t
5、o 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. So I cant say that he would have restored that.I will support the Chicago Bulls. I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael
6、 Jordan. Ive been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, Jerry West. These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity. Mr Stern and what hes done for the league, gav
7、e me an opportunity to play the game of basketball. I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself. Ive tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.我在这里宣布从篮球场上退役,而且这次退役后不会再去从事棒球或其他类似的运动。由于精神上很疲乏,我感到自己特别缺乏挑战力;体力倒还不错。1993年那次退役时我有其他方案:想打棒球,我这个年纪正是从事棒球事业的极佳时机。而且父亲
8、刚好去世了,我只想尽力去面对这一切。事实上,去年赛季刚结束时,我和杰里谈过一次。我告诉他我精神上有些疲乏,不知到下一年还能不能打。我想让他意识到这一点,以便为下一赛季做预备。杰里-有一次我们谈过这个问题-让我要象93年那样,好好考虑,以便作出明智的决定,由于这将是最终决定。次退役时费尔杰克逊是教练。但我觉得既使本赛季他还担当教练,我也会很困难,内心里,我已感受到了挑战。当然无论如何,他都会给我一些应对方法的。我不知到他是否还有方法使我打完这一赛季。在本赛季中间我还想着再打几年呢,但当赛季结束时,我却感觉精神枯竭,疲乏。因此我的确不能说他会使我复原精力。我将支持芝加哥公牛队,我认为竞赛本身比迈克尔乔丹重要得多。我的许多机会都是篮球前辈们给的。我这里指出一些: 贾巴尔,J博士,韦思特。这些人早在乔丹诞生前就活跃在赛场了。迈克尔乔丹只不过是继承了他们的传统。斯特恩先生及其为联盟做出的贡献给了我打篮球的机会。我已尽我最大力量打球,我想努力推动竞赛本身的进展。我始终在努力,尽我所能成为最好的球员。
