記者朱凱弘／綜合報導
紫金一哥「小飛俠」Kobe Bryant今(30)日宣布今年賽季結束後高掛球鞋退休，消息傳出後球迷皆表達不捨之意，今日與溜馬賽前，Kobe Bryant還特地寫了一封信並附上親筆簽名，給前來觀看比賽的球迷，行為相當感人。
信以「當我們第一次相遇時，我只是個小孩」為題，內文多次提到因為球迷，才成就現在這個Kobe Bryant，並表示：「你們所做的一切遠比我為你們所做的還要偉大。」
Kobe Bryant在文末寫道：「對於這城市、這支球隊和你們每一人我的愛永遠都不會消逝。」道盡他這20年來的心境。
「Kobe Bryant給球迷的一封信」全文
When we first met I was just a kid.
Some of you took me in. Some of you didn’t.
But all of you helped e become the player and man in front of you today.
You gave me confidence to put my anger to good use.
Your doubt gave me determination to prove you wrong.
You witnessed my fears morph into strength.
Your rejection taught me courage.
Whether you view me as a hero or a villain, please know I poured every emotion, every bit of passion and my entire self into being a Laker.
What you’ve done for me is far greater than anything I’ve done for you.
I knew that each minute of each game I wore purple and gold.
I honor it as I play today and for the rest of this season.
My love for this city, this team and for each of you will never fade.
Thank you for this incredible journey.
