Source : http://0rz.tw/L6LcH Allen Iverson to Officially Retire (BREAKING) 翻譯by巴拉圭 Allen Iverson is prepared to officially announce his retirement from the NBA in the coming days, a source close to the native of Virginia told SLAM. 根據一則來自維吉尼亞州的消息指出，Allen Iverson即將在未來這幾天宣布從 NBA退休。 Iverson, 38, played his last professional basketball in Turkey in 2011. Before that, he appeared in his final NBA game, as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, in 2010. 現今38歲的Iverson，最後一次打職籃要回到2011年在土耳其聯盟了。在之前， Iverson的最後一場NBA比賽則是在2010年代表費城七六人出戰公牛。 When he last spoke publicly, at a Sixers game on March 30, Iverson answered a question about continuing his career by saying, “My No. 1 goal is trying to accomplish to be the best dad that I can. And if basketball is in my near future, then God will make that happen. But if not, I had a great ride and I’ ve done a lot of special things that a lot of guys have not been able to accomplish and people thought I couldn’t accomplish.” Iverson在採訪時則表示: "我的第一個目標就是當好一個父親角色。未來是否 還有籃球可以打則要看上帝的安排。如若我最後沒能在回到場上，我認為我有 了一段偉大的籃球生涯，我所達成的可能是一堆人做夢也都沒辦法做到的事。" Included amongst those accomplishments are: 13-year career averages of 41.1 mpg, 26.7 ppg, 6.2 apg and 2.2 spg; 71-game Playoff averages 45.1 mpg, 29.7 ppg, 6.0 apg and 2.1 spg. He also won one regular season MVP award, four scoring titles and was named an All-Star 11 times. Maybe most impressive of all, omitting the obvious impact that he had on the culture off-court, was the resilience that the 6-0 guard showed in driving into the lane, into men a foot taller than him, time and time again. Iverson的豐功偉業有: 13年籃球生涯裡，Iverson平均上場時間是41.1分鐘， 可以拿下26.7分、6.2助攻、2.2抄截。而在71場季後賽當中，Iverson平均上 場時間為45.1分鐘、29.7分、6助攻、2.1抄截。Iverson贏得1次季賽MVP，4 度拿下得分王，11次被選為明星賽先發。不過這當中最讓人不可置信的，就是 不管他在場外有惹多少爭議，他在場上抱著6尺身高卻要一次又一次在隨便就 高他一個頭的對手交鋒，僅憑此就讓人無法把他忘掉。 “He might be the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen,” Larry Brown, Iverson’s coach from 1997-2003 and the current coach at SMU, told SLAM today. “I don’ t think there’ll be another one like him. Larry Brown是這樣評論Iverson的: "他是我見過最偉大的運動員，而我認為 未來再也不會有第二個Iverson。" “I’m sure we faced a lot of obstacles, maybe even on a daily basis, but when it came time to play, to try to win a game, he tried to play as hard as he could for his coach.” "我們雖然面臨到很多的挑戰與難題，但只要到比賽的時候，但要決定勝負之時 ，Iverson可是比任何人都還要拼命，因為他想要為教練以及球隊拿下勝利。" “He had a magnificent career, and he enjoyed every minute of it,” says the source. “He enjoyed the places basketball took him, he enjoyed the camaraderie with his teammates and he especially enjoyed that his job was playing the game that he loved.” 根據消息指出，Iverson有著一個非常豐富及偉大的生涯，而他也說整個過程讓 他回味無窮，也非常享受所雍有的。對於Iverson來說，能快樂打球，打他熱愛 的籃球已經很棒了。 In a lengthy sit-down interview with SLAM this past spring, Iverson was overcome with emotion when discussing his tenure in the NBA. 在Slam雜誌短短的採防過程中，Iverson也說了打NBA對他的影響。 “It enabled me—and it has enabled me—to take care of my family,” said Iverson. “It brought me so many fans and people that love me. I met so many great people. And it made me, whether I like it or not, a role model. It built me up, it knocked me down, it taught me how to get back up. It did a lot for me.” Iverson表示: "打NBA雖然讓我可以照顧家人的時間變少了，不過卻帶給我無數 喜愛我的球迷與粉絲。這也讓我成為一個模範生，有時是高峰，有時是低潮，不 過總而言之，我學會了在一次又一次的失敗當中站起來。" With basketball behind him, Iverson, the source says, hopes to place all of his energy on his business holdings and children. 即將宣布退休的Iverson，將會把重心放在他的事業和小孩身上。 “He loves his fans more than anyone,” says the source. “He loves how they ask for his return constantly, on the streets and on the internet. But now that they know it’s not happening, he can just focus on his future endeavors. ” Iverson最愛的，就是他的球迷跟粉絲了。"Iverson很感謝球迷的支持，也感謝球迷 的不離不棄。直到今日還是一堆球迷選問他是否還會回來打球。不過現在一切即將 成為不可能了，是時候將重心放到未來了。" Iverson will be eligible for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015. Iverson將會在2015年有資格參於並當選奈史密斯篮球名人纪念堂的一員。 “If I’m blessed with being a Hall of Famer, it will be emotional,” Iverson said to SLAM last spring. “You can’t mention ‘Allen Iverson’ and don’t mention basketball.” Iverson在採防時表示: "如若我有榮幸進名人堂，那我一定會很激動。聽到Allen Iverson這名字任何人都無法不去提籃球。" After starring at Georgetown, Iverson was selected No. 1 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. He also spent time with the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies. 在喬治城大學後，Iverson在1996年以壯元之姿加入七六人。雖後曾待過金塊、 活塞和灰熊等隊。 Since appearing in his final game, at Chicago in February of 2010, Iverson occasionally mentioned the desire to return to the NBA. But for various reasons, both in and out of his control, he was never signed as a free agent. 在2010年2月，也就是Iverson的最後一場NBA比賽後，Iverson就時常表態想回NBA 打球。但這時的Iverson場內外都面臨許多凸變，也讓他之後在自由市場中沒有球 隊願意在籤他。 And now he never will be. 時至今天，他將永遠回不了場上了。 “He deserves better,” said Brown. “I wish he could’ve went out on his own terms, at his own time.” Larry Brown表示: "他應該受得更好的待遇。" -- ██◣ ═╮ ╭ ◢█◣╮ ╭═══╮ theanswer3 ╭◢█ ◣◤ξξξ◥ ███◢ ╰═══╯ █▌█╰══╯◢█◣╰═════════╯█▌ █ξξξξξ ║█▌ ██◣ ◢█◣ █▌█ ◢█◣ ◥◣◥ ◢◢◣◣ ◢█◣ ◢◢◣ ◢ ◤ ║█▌ █▌█ █◢◤ ███ █▌█ ◣◥◣ ████ █◢◤ █◤ ◥ ◣◣ζξζ◢ ║█▌ ◥▌◤ ◥█◤ █◤█ ◥▌◤ ◥█◤ ◥◤◥◤ ◥█◤ █ █▌ █ ＜ ３ ＞ ╰◤ ═════════════════════════════◥█ ◤ ▂▂ --
