Michael Jordan's Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech

章节 1：Introduction、Why David Thompson

📝 本节摘要：

介绍引荐人大卫·汤普森，讲述选择他作为引荐人的缘由。乔丹少年时期在北卡就崇拜大卫·汤普森，不只是球技，更是欣赏他历经磨难的品格。同时表明此举并非不尊重北卡旧友，引出自己父母对人生的影响，抛出问题：大众只看见我的高光，还有哪些不为人知的我？

[原文] welcome to Michael he's one of his basketball role models the hall-of-famer known as Skywalker class of 1996 David Thompson ladies and gentlemen Michael Jordan thank you thank you I told all my friends I come up here and say thank you and walk off I can't there's no way I got so many people I can think in all the videos you never just saw me so scottie pippen every chance if I want I've had a lot of questions over the last four weeks and everybody's saying well why did you pick david thompson i know why david knows why and maybe you guys don't know why but as I grew up in North Carolina I was 11 years old 1974 I think when you guys won the championship and I was an anti Carolina guy hated UNC here I ended up at UNC but I was I was in love with David Thompson

[译文] 欢迎各位，我身旁是我的篮球偶像之一，1996届名人堂成员，人称“天行者”的大卫·汤普森。女士们，先生们，我是迈克尔·乔丹。谢谢大家，谢谢。我之前跟所有朋友说，我上台只需要道一声谢，然后就下台。但我做不到，真的不行。台下这么多人，还有无数镜头注视着我，皮蓬也在。过去四周，很多人问我同一个问题：为什么我会选择大卫·汤普森作为引荐人。我知道答案，大卫自己也清楚，或许在座各位并不了解缘由。我在北卡罗来纳州长大，大概是1974年，我11岁那年，他带队拿下了冠军。那时候我本是北卡大学的“反对派”，十分讨厌北卡大学。虽然最后我自己进入了北卡，但当年，我深深为大卫·汤普森着迷。

[原文] not just for the game of basketball but in terms of what he represented you know we all as Vivian say I said we go through our trials and tribulations and he did and I was inspired by him and when I called him and asked him to stand up for me I know I shocked the out of him I know I do but he was very very kind and said yeah I do it and now that wasn't disrespect or into my Carolina guys they all know them I'm true blue Carolina guy to the heart you know Coach Smith Larry Brown Sam Perkins James Worthy you know all of those guys well it all starts with my my parents you guys see all the highlights what is it what is it about me that you guys don't know as I set up in on watching all the other recipients stand

[译文] 我崇拜他，不只是因为他的球技，更是欣赏他所代表的精神。薇薇安说过，我们这一生都会历经磨难，他也是如此。他鼓舞了我。当我打电话邀请他上台为我引荐时，我知道我把他吓了一大跳，这点我很确定。但他非常友善，答应了我的请求。这并不是不尊重北卡的诸位老友，他们都明白。我骨子里是一名忠实的北卡人。史密斯教练、拉里·布朗、萨姆·帕金斯、詹姆斯·沃西，这些人我都无比敬重。但一切的根源，要从我的父母说起。大家看到的都是我的高光集锦，但是，有哪些关于我的故事，是你们不曾知晓的？刚刚我坐在台下，看着其他入选者上台。
