向“科比·布萊恩特”致敬，我們心中永遠的24號球衣男神！

Kobe Bryant says he's not one for farewell tours. But by Bryant's own admission, the end of a legendary career could be coming sooner than later.

科比·布莱恩特说，自己不是那种想要一场接着一场巡回告别的人，但他承认，自己的传奇篮球生涯迟早都会结束。

The Los Angeles Lakers are in New York to face the Knicks in what is potentially Bryant's last game at Madison Square Garden. At Saturday's shootaround, the future Hall of Famer addressed the media and admitted there are times when he questions whether he wants to continue playing basketball. And on the day in question, the answer was probably not:

洛杉矶湖人队正在纽约对战尼克队，这可能是布莱恩在麦迪逊广场花园的最后一次比赛了。周六的投篮训练中，这位即将入驻名人堂的球星告诉媒体，他曾经多次考虑要不要继续打球。但他的答案可能是——不再打球。

"If you asked me today, this would be my last year. But you never know," said Bryant, who is in the final year of his deal with the Lakers. "We'll keep it open. Whatever happens, happens."

“如果你今天问我，我会回答说这可能是我职业生涯中的最后一年。但谁知道呢，”布莱恩说。他跟湖人队的合约今年即将到期。“我们不会过早下结论，顺其自然吧。”

"The crowds, the chanting, people wanting to see me play – I'm extremely, extremely appreciative of that, I understand what that means. Listen, my personality isn't the rocking chair kind of thing, but the chanting of my name means enough to me."

“球迷们、尖叫声，人们希望看到我继续打球——真的很谢谢大家。我知道这意味着什么。我不是那种渴望颐养天年的性格，不过听到球场上球迷们高呼我的名字已经足够。”

At 37 years old and coming off of multiple injuries, Bryant acknowledged that recovering from a previous night's game is an all-day process for him. There's stretching and ice and massages and muscle stimulation and in-depth treatments where necessary. But, Bryant said, "If I wanted to keep playing, I could figure it out. "

今年37岁的布莱恩伤病不断。他坦白，之前一场比赛中的伤病要用一整天的时间才能恢复。某些受伤部位需要拉伸、冰敷、按摩、肌肉刺激甚至深部处理。但布莱恩也说，“如果我想继续打球，我会想明白的。”

科比在微博上发表了退役声明：

Dear Basketball,

From the moment

I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

And shooting imaginary

Game-winning shots

In the Great Western Forum

I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —

From my mind & body
