励志 | 致敬科比，黑曼巴精神永在
在职业生涯的第20个赛季，洛杉矶湖人队当家球星科比·布莱恩特正式宣布他将在本赛季结束之后退役。湖人成为科比职业生涯开始和终老之地，结束完2015-16赛季后，科比将在湖人效力满20年，这意味着他超越了爵士的传奇球星斯图克顿，成为NBA里在同一支球队效力最久的球员。
自1996年步入联盟，37岁的科比已经在NBA赛场厮杀了将近20个赛季。小飞侠不再，但留给我们的是无数难忘的记忆：为湖人队拿下5次NBA总冠军，夺得2枚奥运金牌，17次全明星，单场81分，32000+得分。
如此悍将，堪称传奇，他的“黑曼巴精神”亦是时代的榜样。在科比即将退役的时刻，再次聆听科比亲述“黑曼巴精神”，向英雄告别！

各位同学：
All the students:
大家好!黑曼巴是一种拥有致命剧毒的蛇，为什么我取这个名字呢?是因为我一旦进入赛场，我就是致命的，就像黑曼巴一样。所以在场下我可以开玩笑，但是我一旦进入赛场，我马上会像换了一个人一样，在球场上全神贯注。
Hello everyone. The Black Mamba is a deadly poisonous snakes, why do I take this name? Because I once entered the stadium, I'm deadly, like the black mamba. So there I can make fun of, but once I entered the stadium, I would like to change a person, be absorbed in the court.
我现在35岁了，算是走到了职业生涯的后半程，像这样一些受伤也是司空见惯了。一旦受伤，你就觉得世界停止了，不管是膝盖受伤，肩膀受伤等等。我知道很多人因此而把整个职业生涯都葬送了，有的人甚至一蹶不振，甚至无法返回赛场。当那个时刻发生的时候，我会看着镜子中的自己说，“科比你会怎么样?如果你经历这样的伤痛你会怎么样?“你知道我每次看到别人受伤，我见到很多人受伤后回不来，我看着镜子中的自己喃喃自语说，”是不是应该停止打球了?“我自己都不知道还能否返回赛场。我现在坐在这里告诉你，我要完全康复回到球场。但我不敢打包票，因为很多时候我也有疑问，但是我觉得，这才是迎接挑战的意义所在。
I am 35 years old, is reached after the half occupation career, like some injury is It is quite common for the. Once injured, you feel the world stopped, whether injured knee, shoulder injury etc.. I know a lot of people so that the entire occupation career is ruined, and some people even unable to get up after a fall, can't even return. When that moment, I will look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Kobe, what would you do? If you experience this pain will you? "You know that every time I see someone injured, I met a lot of people do not come back after the injury, I looked at myself in the mirror to oneself said," Is it right? Should stop playing? "I don't know myself can also return. I'm here to tell you, I want to completely recovered and returned to the stadium. But I wouldn't bet on it, because a lot of the time I also have doubt, but I think, which is to meet the challenges of the significance.
要抓住一切机会，向所有人证明你自己，证明你能够迎接挑战。向那些说你永远不可能成功，你一定会失败的人证明，这就是我的看法。如果有人说你这次受伤，要一蹶不振了，对我来说，如果别人受了这种伤可能就退出了，但是科比不能这样。别人说这下你不行了，我会说，你这样你才可能会退出。所以我必须要证明给他们看，尤其是给那些支持我，热爱我的粉丝们，我一定要赢了自己，要赢了伤痛，能够重返赛场。这样才能让那些怀疑我的人重新思考，什么叫将不可能的变成可能。这些伤疤的重要性体现在这里，这些伤疤就是我成长转变的体现。
To seize every opportunity, you prove yourself to all people, that you can meet the challenge. To those who say you can never succeed, you will fail to prove, this is my opinion. If someone says to you of the injury, to be unable to get up after a fall, for me, if somebody this injury may quit, but Kobe can't. People say that you can not, I would say, you so that you may exit. So I must prove to them, especially to those who support me, love of my fans, I must win, to win the pain, will be able to return. In order to let all of the doubters think again, what will become impossible possible. The importance of these scars represented here, these scars is my growth transition .
作为一个球员，我与生俱来的激情就是想要成功，想要赢。同时也是人生最难却最重要的事情。作为一个球员，要到球场上去迎接最大的挑战，我觉得最大的挑战就是要把全队的人变成像一个人那样，要不断地，不断地取得胜利，这就是团队竞技比赛的最大挑战，这也正是我的激情所在。对我个人来说，最重要的事是不断地迎接挑战，而且永不畏惧挑战极为重要。
As a player, I was born with a passion is to succeed, want to win. At the same time is also the most difficult thing in life is the most important thing. As a player, go up to meet the greatest challenge to the stadium, I think the biggest challenge is to get the people to become as one, constantly, constantly victory, this is the biggest challenge of team sports, this is also my passion. For me personally, the most important thing is to continue to meet the challenge, but never fear challenges is very important.
但更重要的是要对事物保持不断的好奇心，比如说怎么样打得更好，怎么样提高技巧，怎么样从别人身上学到什么。其实我从小到现在一直从各个方面寻找激励我的因素，不仅仅从迈克尔•乔丹身上，从魔术师埃尔文•约翰逊身上，还从迈克尔•杰克逊，贝多芬，达芬奇，李小龙身上，这些伟大的人给了我激励，让我前进，所以这就是黑曼巴的精神。并不是说你要不断进攻别人，而是要永不停歇你前进的脚步。人生是学无止境的，于是不断学习就显得极为重要。你要不断地学习，学习，再学习，和别人交谈，了解，学习，而不是觉得你自己什么都懂。
But more important is to keep curiosity about things, such as how to play better, how to improve skills, how to learn from them what. Actually I have been looking for me from the aspects of motivation factors, not only from the Michael Jordan body, from the magician Elvin Johnson, also from Michael Jackson, Beethoven, Da Vinci, Bruce Lee, these great people gave me encouragement, let me go, so this is the black mamba the spirit of. Does not mean that you should continue to attack others, but you must never stop the pace of progress. Life is Knowledge has no limit., so learning becomes extremely important. Do you want to continue learning, learning, learning, and others, understanding, learning, and not think you understand what.
只有这样，你才能成为一个更好的人，你的技巧才能进一步提高。最后才会有一个副产品，成为冠军，成为更好的自己。对我来说这就是黑曼巴的精神，我的精神的源头所在。所以如果我能够把这种精神传递给在座的各位，不管你想要做什么，成为一个篮球运动员，一个作家或者是主持人，不管你的梦想是什么，你们一定要坚持梦想，从成功的前人身上汲取经验和知识，各行各业的成功人士，他们身上都有一些共性使得他们脱颖而出，取得成功，这就是我今天想要传递给各位的正能量。
Only in this way, you can become a better person, your skills in order to further improve the. Finally, there will be a byproduct, become a champion, a better myself. For me this is the black mamba's spirit, at the root of my spirit. So if I can pass on the spirit to all of you, no matter what you want to do, to become a basketball player, a writer or host, no matter what you dream, you must adhere to dream, to learn from successful previous experience and knowledge, successful people from all walks of life, their body there are some features that make them successful, talent showing itself, this is just what I want to transfer to the positive energy you.
这是科比2014年在《开讲啦》的演讲，满满都是正能量。现在，一代传奇即将落幕，科比以一篇《致亲爱的篮球》作为告别文：

Ball in my hands.
球在我手中

Love you always,
永远爱着你，我的篮球
Kobe
科比
知乎上有个问题是“科比到底有多强”，有人是这样评论的：
也可能是最勤奋的球员之一；
NBA史上，最争强好胜的球员之一。比赛强度（intensity）和坚韧度，最强之一；
也是最强的个人攻击手之一。
科比选择离开他挚爱的篮球，开始新的生命旅程，此刻，万般不舍化作万千祝福，期待科比新的精彩故事！
