Allen Iverson to Officially Retire (BREAKING) 翻译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.
根据一则来自维吉尼亚州的消息指出，Allen Iverson即将在未来这几天宣布从
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.
现今38岁的Iverson，最后一次打职篮要回到2011年在土耳其联盟了。在之前，
Iverson的最后一场NBA比赛则是在2010年代表费城七六人出战公牛。
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在采访时则表示: "我的第一个目标就是当好一个父亲角色。未来是否
还有篮球可以打则要看上帝的安排。如若我最后没能在回到场上，我认为我有
了一段伟大的篮球生涯，我所达成的可能是一堆人做梦也都没办法做到的事。"
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的丰功伟业有: 13年篮球生涯里，Iverson平均上场时间是41.1分钟，
可以拿下26.7分、6.2助攻、2.2抄截。而在71场季后赛当中，Iverson平均上
场时间为45.1分钟、29.7分、6助攻、2.1抄截。Iverson赢得1次季赛MVP，4
度拿下得分王，11次被选为明星赛先发。不过这当中最让人不可置信的，就是
不管他在场外有惹多少争议，他在场上抱着6尺身高却要一次又一次在随便就
高他一个头的对手交锋，仅凭此就让人无法把他忘掉。
“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是这样评论Iverson的: "他是我见过最伟大的运动员，而我认为
未来再也不会有第二个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.”
"我们虽然面临到很多的挑战与难题，但只要到比赛的时候，但要决定胜负之时
，Iverson可是比任何人都还要拼命，因为他想要为教练以及球队拿下胜利。"
“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.”
根据消息指出，Iverson有着一个非常丰富及伟大的生涯，而他也说整个过程让
他回味无穷，也非常享受所雍有的。对于Iverson来说，能快乐打球，打他热爱
的篮球已经很棒了。
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杂志短短的采防过程中，Iverson也说了打NBA对他的影响。
“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虽然让我可以照顾家人的时间变少了，不过却带给我无数
喜爱我的球迷与粉丝。这也让我成为一个模范生，有时是高峰，有时是低潮，不
过总而言之，我学会了在一次又一次的失败当中站起来。"
With basketball behind him, Iverson, the source says, hopes to place all of
his energy on his business holdings and children.
即将宣布退休的Iverson，将会把重心放在他的事业和小孩身上。
“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最爱的，就是他的球迷跟粉丝了。"Iverson很感谢球迷的支持，也感谢球迷
的不离不弃。直到今日还是一堆球迷选问他是否还会回来打球。不过现在一切即将
成为不可能了，是时候将重心放到未来了。"
Iverson will be eligible for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame in 2015.
Iverson将会在2015年有资格参于并当选奈史密斯篮球名人纪念堂的一员。
“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在采防时表示: "如若我有荣幸进名人堂，那我一定会很激动。听到Allen
Iverson这名字任何人都无法不去提篮球。"
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.
在乔治城大学后，Iverson在1996年以壮元之姿加入七六人。虽后曾待过金块、
活塞和灰熊等队。
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的最后一场NBA比赛后，Iverson就时常表态想回NBA
打球。但这时的Iverson场内外都面临许多凸变，也让他之后在自由市场中没有球
队愿意在签他。
And now he never will be.
时至今天，他将永远回不了场上了。
“He deserves better,” said Brown. “I wish he could’ve went out on his own
terms, at his own time.”
Larry Brown表示: "他应该受得更好的待遇。"
