发表自话题:乔丹曝光与科比最后的短信交流
原标题:视频|最多的眼泪流给最懂的人!乔丹缅怀科比:Kobe去世,我内心的一部分也死了!
北京时间2月25日凌晨,当地时间2月24日下午,在洛杉矶的斯台普斯中心内,“生命的礼赞”如期举办。这是纪念离世的科比和他女儿吉安娜的一场追思会,但也正如仪式的名字提到的一样,这次追思会不仅仅是送别科比和吉安娜,也是对他们灿烂生命的纪念。
在斯台普斯中心的场地中央,布置了一块24英尺见方的舞台,现场也布置了33,643朵玫瑰,加上2月24日这个日期,所有的数字,都与科比和吉安娜紧密相关。
活动开始,著名歌手碧昂丝站在舞台正中央,这位科比生前就颇为喜爱的歌手,身穿一袭金色的套装,胸前还别着“KB”字样的徽章,用科比最喜爱的歌曲《XO》和《Halo》,拉开了整场纪念活动的帷幕。
随后,在现场的大屏幕上,伴随着优美的旋律,科比职业生涯的经典镜头一幕接一幕地出现,在这块科比曾创造过无数篮球奇迹和辉煌的赛场上,每个人的思绪也仿佛被拉回到了那个时候。镜头扫过,众多篮球界、体育节和演艺界的名人都面容凝重。从湖人名宿杰里·韦斯特、贾巴尔、“魔术师”和加索尔,到迈克尔·乔丹、菲尔·杰克逊,再到以库里、哈登、欧文和安东尼·戴维斯为代表的一众NBA现役球员,所有人都来到了斯台普斯中心。虽然科比离开已经近一个月,但很多人直到今天还是无法接受这点。
很少在公共场合露面的迈克尔·乔丹登台。话还没说几句,乔丹就已经泪流满面,涕泪纵横。“看看,又是一个痛哭流涕的我,”乔丹用自己当年在名人堂演讲时的一幕开玩笑,现场也是一片笑声。就是在这样悲喜交加的气氛里,乔丹继续回忆着与科比的往事。
“科比对我来说,是一种鼓舞,因为他不仅仅在意我打球的方式,也展现了他想要上场打球的渴望。他想要尽他自己所能,成为最好的那个球员。而我,则希望能够成为他最好的那个大哥。”说到动情处,乔丹再次泣不成声,他最后说:“当科比死亡的时候,我的一部分也死了。”
乔丹在科比追思会演讲
"I would say good morning, but it's afternoon. I'm grateful to Vanessa and the Bryant family for the opportunity to speak today.
"I'm grateful to be here to honor Gigi and celebrate the gifts that Kobe gave us all – what he accomplished as a basketball player, as a businessman, and a storyteller and as a father. In the game of basketball, in life, as a parent – Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor.
"Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends. But we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend. He was like a little brother. Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I. I just wanted to talk about Kobe.
"You know all of us have brothers and sisters, little brothers, little sisters, who for whatever reason always tend to get in your stuff, your closet, your shoes, everything. It was a nuisance – if I can say that word – but that nuisance turned into love over a period of time. Just because the admiration that they have for you as big brothers or big sisters, the in wanting to know every little detail about life that they were about to embark on.
"He used to call me, text me, 11:30, 2:30, 3 o'clock in the morning, talking about post-up moves, footwork, and sometimes, the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation. But then it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would never know. It's an amazing thing about passion. If you love something, if you have a strong passion for something, you would go to the extreme to try to understand or try to get it. Either ice cream, Cokes, hamburgers, whatever you have a love for. If you have to walk, you would go get it. If you have to beg someone, you would go get it.
"What Kobe Bryant was to me was the inspiration that someone truly cared about the way either I played the game or the way that he wanted to play the game. He wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be. And as I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.
"To do that, you have to put up with the aggravation, the late-night calls, or the dumb . I took great pride as I got to know Kobe Bryant that he was just trying to be a better person – a better basketball player. We talked about business, we talked about family, we talked about everything. And he was just trying to be a better person.
"Now, he's got me and I'll have to look at another crying meme for the next ...
"I told my wife I wasn't gonna do this cause I didn't want to see that for the next three or four years. That is what Kobe Bryant does to me. I'm pretty sure Vanessa and his friends all can say the same thing – he knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally, even though he's being a pain in the ass. But you have a sense of love for him and the way that he can bring out the best in you. And he did that for me.
"I remember maybe a couple months ago he sends me a text and he said, 'I'm trying to teach my daughter some moves. And I don't know what I was thinking or what I was working on, but what were you thinking about when you were growing up trying to work on your moves?' I said 'What age?' He says '12'. I said '12, I was trying to play baseball.' He sends me a text back saying 'Laughing my ass off.' And this is at 2 o'clock in the morning.
"But the thing about him was we could talk about anything that related to basketball but we could talk about anything that related to life. And we, as we grew up in life, rarely have friends that we can have conversations like that. Well, it's even rarer when you can grow up against adversaries and have conversations like that.
"I went and saw Phil Jackson in 1999, maybe 2000, I don't know, when Phil was here in L.A. And I walk in and Kobe's sitting there.
"And the first thing, Kobe said, 'Did you bring your shoes?'
" 'No, I wasn't thinking about playing.'
"But his attitude to compete and play against someone he felt like he could enhance and improve his game, that's what I loved about the kid. I absolutely loved the kid. No matter where he saw me, it was a challenge. And I admired him because his passion, you rarely see someone who is looking and trying to improve each and every day, not just in sports, but as a parent, as a husband. I am inspired by what he's done, and what he's shared with Vanessa, and what he's shared with his kids.
"I have a daughter who's 30 and I became a grandparent. And I have two twins. I have twins at 6. I can't wait to get home to become a GirlDad and to hug them and to see the love and smiles that they bring to us as parents. He taught me that just by looking at this tonight, looking at how he responded and reacted with the people he actually loved. These are the things that we will continue to learn from Kobe Bryant.
"To Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri, my wife and I will keep you close in our hearts and our prayers. We will always be here for you. Always. I also want to offer our condolences and support to all the families affected by this enormous tragedy.
"Kobe gave every last ounce of himself to whatever he was doing, After basketball, he showed a creative side to himself that I didn't think any of us knew he had. In retirement, he seemed so happy. He found new passions. And he continued to give back, as a coach, in his community. More importantly, he was an amazing dad, amazing husband, who dedicated himself to his family and who loved his daughters with all his heart. Kobe never left anything on the court. And I think that's what he would want for us to do.
"No one knows how much time we have. That's why we must live in the moment, we must enjoy the moment, we must reach and see and spend as much time as we can with our families and friends and the people that we absolutely love. To live in the moment means to enjoy each and every one that we come in contact with.
"When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died. And as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died, or else you wouldn't be here. Those are the memories that we have to live with and we learn from.
"I promise you from this day forward, I will live with the memories of knowing that I had a little brother and I tried to help in every way I could.
"Please, rest in peace little brother. "
“我很感激布莱恩特家族今天给我发言的机会,我很感激自己能在这里缅怀科比和Gigi。科比有很多身份,球员,商人,故事的诉说者,还有父亲。无论是在篮球比赛中,还是在生活中为人父母,科比都倾其所有,作为一名父亲,他把所有责任都承担在自己身上,一步一步向前进。也许让大家感到惊讶的是我和科比是好朋友,我和科比是真正的好朋友,科比和我无比亲近就像是我的弟弟一样。大家总是去拿我们俩作比较,我只想谈谈科比本身。”
“你知道,我们都有哥哥姐姐弟弟妹妹,无论如何,他们都会给你依靠,给你衣服,给你鞋子,给你所有的一切,这种情感纽带无法用语言来形容,但维系这种纽带的东西就是爱,是他们作为大哥哥大姐姐对你的爱。但问题是,他想要知道我生活中的每一个细节。他总是问我或是给我发短信,从11:30一直到凌晨2:30,问我关于假动作、训练的问题,而有的时候是关于三角进攻。在一开始,这是一种负担,但是到后来这转变为一种激情。这个孩子有着你从未见识过的激情。”
“那样的激情太令人难以置信,如果你爱某样东西,你对某件事情充满激情,你就会变得极端,然后去试图达到目标,清楚自己为此到底要付出什么。冰淇淋,可乐,汉堡包,所有这些你喜欢的东西,你需要自己去争取,也许你要向别人祈求才能得到。科比-布莱恩特对我的启发,就是他是一个真正关心我吃了什么、我以什么方式比赛的人,然后他也想做到这些,他想要成为世界上最好的运动员,而我想要成为最好的兄长。为了做到这一点,你需要背负很多东西,比如那些深夜打来的电话。我们总是说,他想要成为最好的球员,他想要成为最好的商人,他想要成为最好的家长,我们谈论了他的所有事情,而他想要做的只是想要成为一个更优秀的人。”
“现在,我得找找看另一个像我这样哭泣的家伙。我告诉我的妻子我不打算这样做,因为我不想在未来的三四年看到这段视频。这就是科比对我做的好事。”
“我很确定,他的朋友们都能很确定地这么说,他知道影响你,但是你总是能感受到他对你的爱,他总会将自己最好的东西呈现给你。他就是这么对我的,我至今都记得,几个月前,他给我发了一条消息说:‘我正在尝试教女儿一些动作,然后我不知道她是怎么想的或者说她在为什么而做这些事情。当你在试图进步,努力去成长的时候你在想些什么,你是怎么调整心态的?’我说:‘女儿几岁了?’他说12岁了,我说我12岁的时候还在努力打棒球,然后他就给我发了一条无情嘲笑我的短信,那是凌晨两点发生的事情。”
“我们不但能谈论篮球方面的东西,我们还经常讨论生活中的事情。我们是真正的挚友,我们之间经常发生这样的对话。我记得在1999年还是2000年,当时菲尔-杰克逊执教着湖人,当我到湖人的球馆的时候,我看到科比坐在那儿,然后科比看到我说的第一句话是:‘你带你的球鞋来了吗?’我说不,我来这儿不是来打球的。但是他很有竞争的态度,他想要和那些他觉得能够让他进步的人对抗,那是我很欣赏的品质。他看待我的态度是将我看成一个挑战,而我因为他的激情而感到钦佩,他每天都在激励自己做得更好,这太罕见了。他不仅仅是在体育方面,还在为人父母,当为人丈夫方面所做的事,他和瓦妮莎分享的东西,他和他的孩子们分享的东西,让我深受启发。我有一对双胞胎孩子,我还有一个女儿,而她也有小孩了,这让我成为了外公。我迫不及待地想要回家,去当好一个女儿的父亲,去拥抱他们,享受他们带给我的爱和笑容,科比教会了我这些。这些事我们将继续从科比身上学到的东西。我们所有人都应该把握当下,享受每一天,好好陪伴自己所爱的人。”
