文章结尾引用洛杉矶记者Bill Plaschke的一段话,这段话是我看过凭吊科比最好的一段话。“Kobe does not die. Kobe lives into hisgolden years, lives long enough to see his statues erected outside StaplesCenter and his jerseys inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He lives longenough to sit courtside at Staples when he’s stooped and gray, keeping alivethe memories of two decades of greatness with a wink, maybe even foolingeveryone one last time by retiring in a community next to Shaq.”
(科比没有逝去。他正值黄金岁月,应该看到自己的雕像立于斯台普斯中心,应该看到自己的球衣在名人堂退役。几十年后,他应该头发灰白腰背有些弯的坐在斯台普斯球场,眨眼间20年的的伟大生涯犹在大家的记忆中。他应该跟大家再最后开一次玩笑,把家搬到沙克·奥尼尔的旁边比邻而居,令所有人再次大吃一惊。)
Love you always,Kobe.
