逝者如斯夫
球员是属于某个时代的，再伟大的如张伯伦、拉塞尔、贾巴尔以及乔丹，也抗不住岁月的流逝，何况那些并不那么伟大的球员，如艾弗森、麦蒂、加内特等在这本该属于自己的时代中开始沉没了。看得心痛。无法回答别人问的诸如他们打得再好或再不好跟你有什么关系的问题，依然我行我素地被他们影响到心情。说实话，这个赛季以来，篮球就没让我开心过。因此，也就渐渐不看篮球了，只是偶尔关注下自己喜欢的球星喜欢的球队，如此而已。
其实，球迷也是属于某个时代的，就如乔丹的球迷随着他的退役也慢慢离开了篮球，麦蒂的球迷若找不到类似的球员继续喜爱，也在篮球世界呆不了多久。别指望看过麦蒂巅峰期的人去喜欢詹姆斯，也别指望从詹姆斯时开始看球的人去热爱麦蒂和卡特。他们在同一片场地上比赛，但却不属于同一个时代。
而随着自己喜欢的球星们星光淡去，篮球似乎离我越来越远了。甚至已经很久没有去球场了。
今天却是不同。两场沉闷的、看得我昏昏欲睡的比赛，配上今天这样的太阳，让几个月未碰篮球的我终于决心再去球场。为了补偿上一次到球场无球打的郁闷，今天1点出发，决心再挑战一下自己的体能。结果很可悲。
很久没有这样打球了，从1点到5点，中间断断续续休息了数次。回来后发现全身上下没有一处不痛的，摊在床上一动都不想动。而球场上的表现，也少有亮点，被一帮能跑能跳的小青年累得气喘吁吁。大学时扭伤的左脚踝不识相的开始疼痛，又要一段时间打不得球了……
天下谁人不识君
——千里黄云白日曛，北风吹雁雪纷纷。莫愁前路无知己，天下谁人不识君。
请先容我爆一句粗口——他妈的，火箭！
我之前说过火箭很无良么？我一定曾经说过。先是弗老大，然后现在是麦蒂。
看到火箭将积极寻求交易麦蒂的消息，心里一阵冰凉，一直担心的事情终于发生了。早知道麦蒂的下场不会好，火箭这季的目标不在总冠军，阿德尔曼需要靠一帮角色球员为自己树立形象，而莫雷也尝到了选秀淘宝的甜头，麦蒂的大合同自然是他们急需摆脱的包袱。姚的情况则不同，因为他是中国人，而火箭老板亚历山大是个商人，这个……你知道的！可悲的是，麦蒂为了这样的球队落了一身伤病。
还能说什么？麦蒂最被人诟病的无非是不讲理的干拔、缺乏斗志以及“第一轮”先生。但随着麦蒂离开火箭，这一切都将烟消云散。到那时候，干拔这个巨星特权在麦蒂身上又会名正言顺起来；到那时候，缺乏斗志也会像大家看待邓肯、希尔一般被解释为温文尔雅；到那时候，“第一轮”也会像科比不夺冠那般找到缺乏帮手这一真正原因。35秒13分，22连胜。麦蒂之后，火箭还有谁能创造这样的传奇？场边詹姆斯们跳起街舞时，还能找到谁去反击？还有谁会在失败后出来承担责任？都没有了答案。
突然很希望看到麦蒂穿着1号球衣，带着他的队员重返丰田中心。那时候，我一定坚定的站在他那一边。
圣诞甚扯淡
圣诞可以不比赛么？魔术教练SV如是道。魔术拥有强力中锋，但非纯种中锋。DH靠着年轻的、超人般的身体素质只手遮天，却没有中锋扎实的脚步移动和纯熟内线单打技巧，一旦遇到老奸巨猾的内线，就十分尴尬。这个位置不像LJ那样强力外线般有着很大的活动范围以及由此带来的打法灵活性。后卫线上JN伤愈复出没几场功力大大缩水，窃以为他应该跟防不住突破不了年轻后卫，如果该后卫还高个灵活全面快速，那就更无解了。输给凯尔特人，是年纪在作祟，不过联盟的未来是属于他（们）的。
湖人和骑士的比赛，谁赢都合理。但这只是看这场比赛之前的想法。NBA其实就是个冗长的连续剧，总导演是DS，每个剧集都有不同的主角。有时候导演是会让人恨得咬牙切齿的，糟蹋了好剧本不说，还糟践了真正的主角——篮球，不明白的话可以参考张JZ拍的那些武侠。DS在这个全球直播的比赛、在科比如日中天的时候，迫不及待地要大力推出LJ，一个上篮要四步突破像挑担的人。所以今天湖人的场面被裁判压制的十分难看，4个技术犯规外加2个被罚出场。西班牙人PG要签大合同，却在圣诞大战中表现地如此糟糕，道德风险无法避免，所以大合同对球队和球迷来说都很可能发展成一个噩梦。输给骑士，科比输的不是实力。
2009/11/26 for ALLEN IVERSON
Allen Iverson Retirement Statement
TO ALL OF MY FANS:
I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case.
I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.
Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my wife and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I’ve ever achieved on the basketball court. I have prayed for this day and I see it as my greatest gift.
I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always allowing me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all the ups and downs. I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I am grateful.
I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me throughout my entire career. Without you, there would be no me. You should all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be forever in my heart.
To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all of my family and friends who stood by me from the beginning. Thank you!
To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at Georgetown University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches, teammates, administrators, owners and staff who’ve been a part of my career, Thank you as well!
I’d like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis. I never played a home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know how much I appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in Michael Heisley, and the support of the city. I wish the Memphis Grizzlies’ organization all of the success that the game has to offer.
And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of my days in a Sixers’ uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice will always be music to my ears.
God Bless all of you,
ALLEN IVERSON
