So finally, just I was sitting here thinking and I watched so many great speeches tonight,
我坐在台下一直在思考，今晚我观看了那么多精彩的演讲，
and there's one person is not here that I have to mention their name. That's Michael Jordan.
有一个人不在这里，但我必须要提到他的名字，他就是迈克尔·乔丹。
As a 14-year-old kid, I was sitting in my bedroom, and I seen him come down the lane.
在我14岁的时候，我坐在卧室里，看着他冲到罚球区。
He turned around, he jumped into the air, he hit someone's body,
他转过身，跳到空中，撞了一下别人的身体，
and he threw the ball off the backboard and it went in, and it seemed like he wasn't even looking at the hoop.
然后将球扔向篮板，球进了，整个过程中他似乎都没有看向篮筐。
And I said I have to be able to do that. That has to be me someday.
那时我对自己说，我一定也能做到。总有一天做到这一切的人会是我。
So wherever Mike is, I want to tell you, I wanted to be like Mike growing up.
不论迈克在哪，我都想告诉你，我曾想像迈克一样成长。
As I stand here on the stage today before you, I know a lot has been said about me being a great shooter, being one of the best.
今晚当我站在这个舞台上面对着大家的时候，我知道很多人说我是一个伟大的射手，是最好的射手之一。
But what I know is, this person, that is presenting me tonight, Reggie Miller, is the best shooter that I've ever seen in my life.
但是我知道，这个家伙，我的推荐人，雷吉·米勒，才是我这辈子见过的最好的射手。
Reggie has had a profound effect on my early years in the NBA.
在我刚进入NBA的时候，雷吉对我有着深远的影响。
I would come out in the floor thinking I was early, and he was already out there.
那时我来到球场，还想着自己来得很早，但那时他已经到场了。
And Reggie had a Superman shirt on.
雷吉穿着一件超人T恤。
And when you see somebody, your opponent, wearing a Superman shirt, you have to ask yourself, 'How would I beat superman tonight?'
而当你看到自己的对手穿着超人T恤的时候，你就得问问自己，“我今晚该怎样才能打败超人呢？”
It was impossible to guard you, Reggie. Reggie would grab my arms, and he would throw me in one direction and go another.
根本不可能防住你的，雷吉。雷吉会抓住我的胳膊，把我扔到一侧，然后自己往另一个方向跑。
And then the coach would get mad at me.
然后教练还会生我的气。
And I said, 'Coach Calhoun, they didn't teach me that in college.'
然后我会说，“在大学里，卡尔霍恩教练没教我这些啊。”
I learned so much, and I appreciated your example, the bar you set to be able to break your record.
我学会了很多，很感谢你做出的榜样，感谢你设定的标杆，让我能够去打破你的记录。
I didn't know this record existed, so thank you for everything you did for me in this game.
我之前并不知道这个记录的存在，所以感谢你在篮球这项运动中为我做的一切。
So in Reggie eyes, in my eyes for Reggie, it seemed like he had a plan for everything.
我眼中的雷吉，似乎对每件事都有计划。
I knew I had to plan if I wanted to be successful.
我知道，如果我想成功就得先有计划。

And he calls me over to him, and he said, 'Did you make 100 % of your shots?'
但教练把我叫到跟前，他说，‘你的投篮命中率是100%吗？’
And I said, 'I'm probably about 85'.
我回答说，‘大概有个85%’。
I looked at him, he looked at me, and I knew what he was saying.
我看着他，他又看看我，我记得他当时说的话。
He said, 'If you want to be special, you have to do the special things that the other players aren't willing to do.'
