篮球对你的意义是什么？

　　I felt I was made for as soon as I stepped on the court at the age four. I＂ve been through a hard time during my career. This year I＂m in the playoffs for the first time, it feels like a dream come true. Now I’d glad to share something about basketball in my mind with you guys!My mom was the first person to lead me to the basketball world. Many years ago I started playing basketball in my hometown, El Masnou, in Barcelona Spain. I was just 4 years old, but my mom convinced the coach to let me play with other kids. Some of these kids are still my good friends. I did like it a lot, it was fun and dynamic, and you get the ball all the time.
　　My basketball idol growing up was Magic Johnson, and I guess my basketball style growing up was always passing and creating for my teammates. I was pretty tall too for the PG position like Magic, so I guess he was a referent for me.
　　It feels like this is the right place and right time. I feel the joy of basketball here. I think the strength of this team is the team. Everybody gives one hundred percent effort every night. It＂s a different team of nowadays NBA. We don＂t have just one star, two stars or big three. I think it＂s a whole team of course. We got Donovan having a great season as a rookie. But I think the whole team is stepping up. Joe Ingles has a great year and Rudy we missed him at the beginning of this year and now he is back. He helps a lot favor. We can name a lot of guys in the team. From the first day I came here, my teammates showed their kind for me. It was incredible to play in a team that was friendly and caring.
　　It’s basketball. I love it. It is a big part of who I am today.
　　从我四岁第一次踏进篮球场开始，我的心就一直属于这里。 经历了很久的困顿与坚持，许多次的失败与不放弃，如今我第一次打进季后赛，这种感觉，就像是梦想成真。十分高兴今天能在这里和大家分享我心中的篮球！
　　妈妈是第一个帮助我进入篮球世界的人。 很多年前，我在家乡西班牙巴塞罗那埃尔马斯诺的时候就开始接触篮球了。那时我太小了，只有4岁，但是我妈妈说服了教练让我和其他孩子一起打球。他们其中一些人到现在仍然是我的挚友。从那时候开始我就爱上了篮球，它是一项很有趣并且充满活力的运动，让人自始至终充满参与其中的快乐。
　　在我成长的岁月里，魔术师约翰逊充当了我篮球生涯的指路明灯。 从专业角度上说，我的篮球风格主要偏向于传球，和给队友创造机会上。我和魔术师有许多相似之处，我们两个都是身材高大的控球后卫，所以他在我的篮球成长道路上给了我许多的启发。
　　来到爵士，我的篮球生涯进入了一个新的阶段。 同时我在这里也感受到了篮球的快乐。我们的团队合作非常亲密，大家每晚都会拼尽100%的努力，这是我们球队的优势。我们和NBA其他的球队不一样，我们不仅仅只是有一个球星、两个球星或者三巨头，我们有一整个团队。 米切尔打出了漂亮的新秀赛季，英格尔斯也打出了很棒的一个赛季。还有戈贝尔虽然缺席了赛季初的比赛，现在他回归，很大地提高球队的实力。球队里还有其他很多人都表现的很好。我认为整个球队都在共同成长和进步，从我来到这里的第一天开始，队友们就展示出了对我的爱，在一个彼此友爱、乐于分享、互相关心的团队里打球，这种感觉不可思议。
　　这就是篮球，它让我成长，给我快乐，它就是我一生的挚爱。这是我为之奋斗一生的事业,它塑造了今天你们眼中的我。
