There are times in life that a new road presents itself and it appears this time has come for me now. I am so proud of what I have accomplished these past 15 years playing in the NBA. It was a dream entering the league as I just turned 18 years old. I worked hard and poured my heart and soul into this game.
有時候人生會開闢一條全新的道路給你，而現在輪到我了。我為自己這十五年來對NBA的貢獻感到驕傲。能夠在十八歲就踏入聯盟就像一場夢一樣。我很努力的把我的生命和靈魂投入場上。
I consider myself a student of the game as I have watched, studied and played with and against the best players in the world. The NBA was my University and I learned so much. The gratitude I feel is really immeasurable. I have experienced the best moments a player can experience and have had some dark ones too. Both equally important in helping shape me into the man I am today.
我把自己想成一個學生，每晚看著、學習著、對抗著全世界最頂尖的球員們。NBA就像我的大學一樣，我受益良多，我也對NBA有著無盡的感恩。我在籃球路上有過高峰，也曾跌落谷底。但曾經經歷過，才造就出現在的我。
As I leave the league for now, there have been so many profound people who inspired me along my way. I have to say thank you for guiding me and having an enormous influence on the way I played basketball. Isaiah Thomas, Rich Devos, Leslie Alexander and John Gabriel, you believed in me and I thank you. Jeff Van Gundy, you exemplified the brilliance of what a great coach is. Steven A. Smith, you gave us players a voice and for that I thank you.
