以下是全篇內容：

引用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
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,

Kobe

引用由第一次穿上父親的短襪，我便開始想象自己身處於大西部論壇球館(湖人前主場)投入那些致勝入球。當時我知道有一件事是真的：

我深深愛上你。

我為你傾盡所有，從我的身心，以至我的精神和靈魂。

作為一個六歲的小孩，我未曾看到隧道的終端，我只看到自己努力在奔跑。

所以我一直跑，在場上向前向後來回地跑，為他爭逐每個球。你希望我拼搏，我為你付出我的心，因為這些之間蘊藏著太多東西。

我帶著汗水和傷痛打球，並不是挑戰呼喚著我，而是你呼喚著我。我做的一切也是為你，因為你令一個人感受到那種生命的感覺。

你為一個6歲的孩子贈送了一個湖人夢，而我會因此而永遠愛上你。不過我無法再繼續瘋狂的迷上你，這個球季我已傾盡了所有。我的心仍可受到衝擊，我的精神仍可以處理磨練，但我的身體已經知道，是時候說再見。

這沒事。我已準備讓你走。我希望你由此刻可以知道，我們可以再在剩餘的時間內，享受與你一起的每一刻。無論好與壞，我們早已彼此承擔。

我們都知道，無論我接下來作出什麼，我仍是那個小孩。穿著那襪子，垃圾桶站在角落，我拿著球數著5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

永遠愛你，
Kobe

Kobe Bryant 效力湖人期間，總共奪得5次NBA總冠軍，而他在NBA史上得分榜中排名第三。近年，Kobe Bryant因著嚴重傷患也無法以最好的狀態在球場上打拼。

無獨有偶，Kobe Bryant職業生涯一直被人與Michael Jordan作比較，而對方在13年前的差不多時間(11月28日)，宣佈了個人第三次退役。
