亲爱的篮球
Dear Basketball,
亲爱的篮球：
From the moment
从我第一次
I started rolling my dad's tube socks
穿上父亲的筒形短袜
And shooting imaginary
开始想象
Game-winning shots
自己置身于大西部论坛球馆
In the Great Western Forum
命中绝杀球时
I knew one thing was real:
我就清楚知道：
I fell in love with you.
我深深地爱上了你。
A love so deep I gave you my all —
一种深切的爱，我为你倾其所有——
From my mind & body
从我的思想和身体
To my spirit & soul.
到我的精神和灵魂。
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.

Alive as you've made me feel.

And I'll always love you for it.

And that's OK.
