1、致我最亲爱的篮球：在小的时候，我穿着父亲的直筒袜，手里拿着篮球，想象在大西部论坛球馆，投中制胜球的样子，那时候我就爱上了你篮球。我是如此深爱你以致贡献我的所有，从我的身体和意志，再到我的灵魂深处。六岁的我就开始深深爱上你，我从未想过要结束这段旅程，我只看到自己在这条路上不断奔跑，直到路的尽头，所以我只能不停地跑，每场比赛都在不停奔跑。为了争取每次接近和得到你的机会，你要求我拼尽全力。我为你付出我的真心，因为这要求的不仅仅是努力。我带着甜蜜和伤痛比赛，不仅是因为困难和比赛在挑战我，你也在召唤着我。我为你付出所有，因为你让我感觉是一个鲜活人的存在。你让一个六岁的孩子实现他的湖人梦，我将为此永远爱你
