乔丹退役演说
I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball. It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.
"Mentally, I'm exhausted; I don't feel I have a challenge. Physically, I feel great. The last time I had other agendas, you know, and I knew I wanted to play baseball and I felt at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it .And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.
This time I'm at peace with a lot of those things and know from a career standpoint right now I don't have the mental challenges that I have had in the past to proceed as a basketball player.
"Actually I talked to Jerry last year once, say, as the season ended and I told Jerry at that time that mentally I was a little exhausted, I didn't know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going to next season. And Jerry once we had our conversation wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision. ""And he encouraged me to wait until the time came to where I made that announcement. And in the middle of that process, with the lockout, I wanted to support the players."
“I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach. And I think that even with Phil the coach I would had a tough time and mentally finding a challenge for myself although he could somehow present challenges for me you know and I don't know if he could have presented a the challenge for me to continue on with this season,."
“Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired. So I can't really say that he would have restored that. "
"I will support the Chicago Bulls and I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan."
"I've been given an opportunity by people before me. To name a few: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, Jerry West. These guys, you know, played the game the way before Michael Jordan was born. Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity. Mr. Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball and I played it to the best I could play it , and I've tried to enhance the game itself. I tried to be the best basketball player I could be."
“精神上很疲惫，感到自己缺乏挑战；体力倒还不错。上次退役我有其他计划：想打棒球、想到年龄也正合适，又碰到父亲去世，于是我就与伍德·亚当试签了合同。
而这一次，对于许多事我都感到很平静。从事业的角度来说呢----现在精神上缺乏挑战，就是过去那种作为一个篮球选手所应有的追求。”
“事实上，去年赛季结束时我就对杰里说：‘我精神有些疲惫，不知明年还能不能打。我要让明白这一点，这样他就可能为下一赛季做准备。杰里认为我们该仔细谈谈，象93年那样慢慢来搞清楚做出这样的决定是否明智，因为这将是最后决定。直到我站在这里发表声明之前他一直这样鼓励我，而就在这个过程中出现了罢工事件，我支持球员。
“第一次退役费尔·杰克逊是教练，我认为即使他任教练时我也有一些困难时期，当时努力在精神上使自己面临挑战。当然无论如何，他都会给我摆出一些，然而这一赛季，我认为他也找不出什么我可挑战的东西让我继续了。
尽管原本在这个赛季中我还是打算再打几年的，但当赛季结束时，我却感觉精神枯竭，疲惫。因此我确实不能说他会使这一切恢复。”
“我将支持芝加哥公牛队，并认为比赛本身比迈克尔·乔丹重要得多。
篮球前辈们给了我很多的机会。我这里指出一些：
贾巴尔，J博士，韦思特。这些人在乔丹出生前就活跃在赛场了。迈克尔·乔丹只不过是继承了他们的传统。斯特恩先生及其为联盟做出的贡献给了我打篮球的机会。我已尽我最大能力打球，并一直努力为比赛增光。我一直努力成为我所能达到的最好的球员。”
