10."I am going to have to be patient and let things fall into place and not expect myself to come out and score 40 or 50 points the first night. I'm just going to try to work my way back into the intensity of the game."
我将会有足够的耐心,我不敢奢望在第一场比赛就拿下40分或者50分。我将以自己的方式逐渐适应激烈的比赛 .
11."If that was my concern, I wouldn't do this. I'm not afraid to take on a challenge. I'm not afraid to take a step. If I fall, I fall, pick myself up and move on."
如果关心这个,我就不会复出了……我从不害怕挑战……我从不怕走出新的一步,如果我失败了,那我会爬起来重新开始.
12."I'm all about challenges and seeing if I can go out and see if I can achieve something. If at the end of the day I do it, great. If I don't, I can live with myself."
13."Everybody was so negative about what I was trying to do. If I read every newspaper about negative things that I was trying to do, I swear I wouldn't live in America. America's supposed to be the free will to do whatever you choose, do whatever you want to do. That's all I'm doing. I'm not committing a crime here. I'm just trying to play a game of basketball. What if I'm tired of playing YMCAs or the Boys and Girls Clubs? I want to step into the elite competition. If I can do it, great. If I can't, that's great, too. But you can't take my six championships away."
所有人都对我将要做的事情感到沮丧。如果我读了那些反对我复出的报纸,我发誓我肯定不能够在美国生存下去。美国的宗旨是随心所欲地做你想做的事。我现在正是这么做的,我不是在这里犯罪,我只是想打一场真正的篮球比赛。如果我厌倦了与小孩子的比赛,我会参加精英赛的。不论成败与否,都是好事。不管怎么说,你不能将我的六枚总冠军戒指剥夺。”
14."The young dogs are going to chase me around. Well, I'm not going to bark too far away from them, either. I'm not running from nobody. If anything, it'll be a great challenge."
那些年轻的家伙将在场上追得我团团转,我也不会离他们太近的。如果是,那将会是一场很伟大的挑战。
