Hello everyone, leaders, guests, and friends from news media, good afternoon, and thanks for coming。

大家好，各位领导，各位来宾，各位好，谢谢大家今天的光临。

Today is an important day for me.For myself, my basketball career and the personal growth in the future, it has a particular meaning。

今天对我来说是重要的日子，无论对我以及以往的篮球职业生涯，还是未来个人发展，都具有特殊的意义。

At the end of last year I broke my left foot for a third time.I had to leave the basketball court, and spent the last half of the year waiting, just as many of those who care about me.During that period, I struggled a lot in my heart and thought a lot.Now I am going to announce a personal decision: I am going to end my career as a basketball player and officially retire。

去年年底，我的左脚第三次应及性骨折，我不得不离开赛场，半年多以来和很多关心的朋友一样，我也是在漫长的期待中渡过，在那段时间内心十分纠结，反复思考，为此今天宣布一个个人的决定，作为篮球运动员，我将结束自己的运动生涯，正式退役。

Looking back on the past and right into the future, I am deeply grateful。此时此刻，回顾过去，展望未来，我的内心充满感激。

First I'd like to thank basketball.This great sport has brought joys to so many people, including me.I had my first basketball when I was four.I entered the Sports School of Xuhui District of Shanghai when I was nine and entered the Shanghai Basketball Youth Team at 14.At 16, I began playing for Shanghai Basketball Team, wearing my father's number.I inherited my family's tradition by playing basketball.I feel so proud every time I look into the eyes of my parents, who are proud of me.I feel very honored to have the opportunity to win the CBA title in 2002 with Shanghai Shark teammates, which has linked us all to this city behind.Basketball also led me on a greater stage when I entered NBA t

hat year.I could play with all I had.What's more, I feel thankful that I had the opportunity to fight together with the national team for 10 years, which is many young players' dream, and through which I got to know and married my beloved woman, and made a happy family and obtained the happiness of my life.All of these are brought by my love, basketball.I want to thank basketball。

我首先要感谢的是篮球这项伟大的运动，为无数人带来了快乐，包括我自己。我4岁的时候有了第一个篮球，9岁就入上海市体校，14岁进入上海训练队，16岁背上我父亲当年的号码，代表上海队比赛，篮球是我延续家庭的传承，每当看到父母欣慰的眼神，都感到无比自豪，也非常荣幸有幸能够和上海大鲨鱼的队友为上海赢得2002年CBA冠军，和我们身后这座城市联系在一起。同一年在进入NBA之后，篮球引领我进入更宽广的舞台，使我尽情展现自己。更要感谢能有机会为中国国家队可以奋战十年，那是无数青年人的梦想，同时因为篮球，与心爱人的结缘，建立美满的家庭，获得一生的幸福。所有这些都是无比热爱的篮球带给我的，我要感谢篮球。

I would also like to thank life.No matter my favorite basketball or something else, they are all parts of the life.Life is like a guide.When you sincerely follow it, it will open one and another door for you and the world outside of them is so different and exciting.Today, I retired.The door of basketball is closed, but another door has just opened which will lead me to a new life waiting for me to experience.I will continue to participate in social welfare in the future.Yao Fund is my personal fund, which has been established for three years.And in the coming future, I will take this as the basis and call on more people to get involved in charity and help more people.And at the same time, I wish to know more friends here and to do some things together with you.I believe the exchanges with all of you will teach me more things that will also enrich my life and help me to start from Shanghai to the whole country, from China to the whole world, so I’ll thank life.And in the coming future, to take it seriously will be the best reward to life。

我还要感谢生活，无论我所热爱篮球还是别的东西，都是生活的一部分，我觉得生活就像一个向导，你前程追诉他，会打开一闪一的门，今天退役了，一扇门关上，另外一扇门打开，门外有崭新的生活等着我认真品位。我虽然离开赛场，但是不会离开篮球，上海东方大厦篮球队是我篮球的延续，我正在用心的方式管理俱乐部，用这种方式为家乡带来快乐。我将继续投身社会公益事业，姚基金是我个人的基金会，已经成立三年，接下来会以此为依托，影响更多的人参与慈善事业，帮助更多的人。同时我希望结识更多的朋友，一起做喜欢的事情，相信在各行各业，有识之士的交往中，会学到更多的东西，丰富精彩生活，引领着我从上海走向全国，从中国走向世界。所以我要感谢生活，今后我要认真对待它，才是对生活最好的回报。

At last, I want to thank my family and all my friends.I have a very long name list here, but for time limit, I can only mention some of you, please forgive me.Firstly I want to thank my family member, parents, who are the enlightenment to me, Ye Li is also the best listener.I also want to thank my coaches, who have witnessed every step of my growth, including my mentor, all coaches in Shanghai Sharks, and the coaches in national team, in Rockets, and former manager.I also want to thank all leaders, especially State General Administration of Sports, especially State General Administration of Sports, Shanghai Basketball Association, Shanghai Sports Bureau, Shanghai Wenguang Group and leaders from Shanghai Sharks.Their care, encouragement always drives me to progress and to get today’s achievement。

Finally, I will express my gratitude to the great and progressive era, in which I have a chance to make my dream come true and show my value.Once I said when my basketball career ended, it was just a comma rather than a full stop.Now the day comes, but I don’t leave basketball, my life is still continuing.I am still myself, Yao Ming.There are a lot of things for me to do and it is far too early to say goodbye.I wish you all a healthy and happy life.I wish my hometown Shanghai, second hometown Houston, my great motherland and I wish basketball a bright future.Thank you very much!

最后要感谢这个伟大进步的时代，使我有机会去实现自己的梦想和价值，我曾经说过有一天我的职业篮球生涯结束了，我希望它只是逗号，不是句号，今天这一天终于到来了，但是我没有离开心爱的篮球，我的生活还再继续，我还是姚明。我还有很多事情可以做，远远

没有达到划上句号的那一天，祝朋友们健康快乐，祝福我的家乡上海，第二故乡休斯敦，我们伟大的祖国，让我们热爱的篮球运动拥有更加美好的明天。谢谢大家！

姚明

(2011年7月20日 上海)

各位领导，各位来宾，新闻界的朋友们：

大家好，感谢大家的光临。

今天对我来说是一个重要的日子，无论是对我以往的篮球职业生涯，还是未来的个人发展，都具有特殊的意义。

去年年底，我的左脚第三次应力性骨折，我不得不离开赛场。半年多以来，和许多关心我的朋友一样，我也是在漫长的期待当中度过的。这段时间里，内心十分纠结，反复思考。为此，今天我要宣布一个个人决定：作为篮球运动员，我将结束自己的运动生涯，正式退役。

此时此刻，回顾过去，展望未来，我的内心充满感激。

我首先要感谢篮球。这项伟大的运动为无数人带来了快乐，当然也包括我自己。四岁我有了第一个篮球，九岁进入徐汇区少体校，十四岁进入上海青年队，十六岁背上父亲当年的号码，代表上海队比赛。篮球使我延续了家庭的传承，每每看到父母欣慰的眼神，我都无比自豪;也非常幸运能和上海大鲨鱼队的队友们一起为上海赢得了一次CBA总冠军。从那时起，篮

球把我和身后这座城市联系在了一起;同样在CBA夺冠的2002年，我进入NBA，篮球引领我步入了一个更宽广的舞台，使我可以尽情地展现自己;更要感谢能有机会为中国国家队战十年，那是无数青年人的梦想;同时因为篮球，与心爱的人结缘，建立了美满的家庭，获得了一生的幸福。所有这些，都是我无比热爱的篮球运动带给我的，我要感谢篮球。

我还要感谢生活。无论我所热爱的篮球，还是别的什么东西，都是生活的一部分。我觉得生活就像一个向导，你虔诚地追随他，他就会为你打开一扇又一扇的门，而门外的世界各不相同，无比精彩。今天我退役了，一扇门已经关上，而另一扇门却正在徐徐开启，而门外有崭新的生活正在等着我去认真品读。

我虽然离开了赛场，但我不会离开篮球。上海东方大鲨鱼篮球队，将就是我篮球生涯的延续，我正在学习用我的方式管理俱乐部，以这种方式继续为家乡带来荣誉，为球迷带来快乐，为中国篮球继续做贡献。

我将继续投身社会公益事业，“姚基金”是我个人的基金会，已经成立三年了，接下来我会以此为依托，影响更多的人参与慈善事业，帮助更多的人。同时，我希望结识更多的朋友，一起做些共同喜欢的事情。相信在和各行各业的有识之士的交往中，我会学到更多的东西。丰富多彩的生活引领着我从上海走向了全国，从中国走向了世界，所以我要感谢生活。今后，唯有认真对待他，才是对生活最好的回报。

体坛巨星姚明退役演讲稿全文

大家好，各位领导，各位来宾，各位好，谢谢大家今天的光临。

今天对我来说是重要的日子，无论对我以往的篮球职业生涯，还是未来个人发展，都具有特殊的意义。

去年年底，我的左脚第三次应力性骨折，我不得不离开赛场，半年多以来和很多关心我的朋友一样，我也是在漫长的期待中度过，在那段时间里我内心十分纠结，反复思考，为此今天宣布一个个人的决定，作为篮球运动员，我将结束自己的运动生涯，正式退役。

此时此刻，回顾过去，展望未来，我的内心充满感激，我首先要感谢的是篮球这项伟大的运动，为无数人带来了快乐，包括易约骸Ｎ?岁的时候有了第一个篮球，9岁进入上海市体校，14岁进入上海训练队，16岁背上我父亲当年的号码，代表上海队比赛，篮球是我延续家庭的传承，每当看到父母欣慰的眼神，我都感到无比自豪，也非常荣幸能够和上海大鲨鱼的队友为上海赢得2002年CBA冠军，和我们身后这座城市联系在一起。同一年在进入NBA之后，篮球引领我进入更宽广的舞台，使我尽情展现自己。更要感谢能有机会为中国国家队奋战十年，那是无数青年人的梦想，同时因为篮球，与心爱的人结缘，建立美满的家庭，获得一生的幸福。所有这些都是无比热爱的篮球带给我的，我要感谢篮球。

我还要感谢生活，无论我所热爱的篮球还是别的东西，都是生活的一部分，我觉得生活就像一个向导，你虔诚追随它，它就会为你打开一扇一扇门。今天退役了，一扇门关上，另外一扇门则徐徐打开，门外有崭新的生活等着我认真品味。我虽然离开赛场，但是不会离开篮球，上海东方大鲨鱼篮球队是我篮球的延续，我正在用新的方式管理俱乐部，用这种方式为家乡带来快乐。我将继续投身社会公益事业，姚基金是我个人的基金会，已经成立三年，接下来会以此为依托，影响更多的人参与慈善事业，帮助更多的人。同时我希望结识更多的朋友，一起做喜欢的事情，相信在与各行各业，有识之士的交往中，会学到更多的东西，丰富精彩生活，引领着我从上海走向全国，从中国走向世界。所以我要感谢生活，今后我要认真对待它，才是对生活最好的回报。

最后感谢我的亲人和我所有的朋友，这里有一份很长的名单，由于时间的原因不能一一提及，只能选读其中的代表，希望朋友多多原谅。首先感谢的是我的家人，父母，是我人生的启蒙者，叶莉是我最好的倾听者，可爱的姚沁蕾是我的新希望。感谢教练，培养我，见证成长，有启蒙指导李张明，李秋平，王秋，王秋光等，我在国家训练队教练马指导，在国家队的历任教练王非、蒋兴权还有哈里斯、尤纳斯，还有我在火箭队的历任主教练汤姆贾诺维奇、范甘迪、阿德尔曼，以及所有的火箭教练员，我的队友弗朗西斯、麦克格雷迪、穆托姆博、巴蒂尔、海耶斯、布鲁克斯等等，还有现任总经理，我还要感谢各位领导，特别是国家体育总局，上海市，中国篮协，上海体育局和上海文广集团，他们的关心、支持和鼓励使我不断前进，取得今天的成绩。

我要感谢NBA和休斯敦火箭队的管理层，今天非常感谢他们的到来。他们理解和支持，帮助我克服了文化和语言的障碍，可以在世界最高水平的联赛当中站稳脚跟，接下来我要感谢我的队友和对手们，首先是刘炜，我们并肩成长，一起打拼，这段共同的经历是我最珍视的人生片段，还有大郅和奥尼尔，他们是我追赶的目标与前进的动力，没有他们，我就不是今天的我；还有范斌，他是我国家队的良师益友，还有沈巍、贾效忠、章文琪、李楠、巴特尔、易建联、弗朗西斯、莫布里、麦蒂、巴蒂尔，穆托姆博、海耶斯、斯科拉、布鲁克斯和洛里以及所有和我一起在徐汇区业余体校、上海青年队、上海大鲨鱼、休斯敦火箭队、国青男篮、国家男篮一起奋斗过的队友们，还有在CBA和NBA同场比赛过的对手们，一起挥汗如雨的日子永远令人难忘。

今天提到的和没提到的，你们每一个人都在我心里，总而言之，我感谢所有的亲人和朋友多年来的陪伴，我会继续做好我自己，我会离开大家，一起离开大家——抱歉，说错了，呵呵(注：此处为姚明口误)。

（接下来姚明用英文特别向海外致谢：）

In next few minutes I will have special thanks for all my friends oversea,special the fans in Houston.I would like to thank you all to give me great support during my 9 years career.9 years ago,I come to Houston,as a young tall skinny player,the entire city the rockets team change me to a grown man,not only a basketball player，and also again my first daughter over there，I fell also I am a houstorian，I will always be with you，thank you！(接下来的几分钟，我要感谢海外的朋友们，尤其是休斯敦的球迷们。我想要感谢你们在我9年职业生涯中对我的支持。9年前，当我来到休斯敦的时候，我只是个瘦瘦的大个子，这座城市、火箭全队帮助我成为一个成熟的男人，不仅是作为一个篮球运动员在成长，我也成为了一个父亲，我的第一个女儿就在这里出生。我觉得我就是休斯敦人，我会永远与你们在一起，谢谢！)

最后要感谢这个伟大进步的时代，使我有机会去实现自己的梦想和价值，我曾经说过有一天我的职业篮球生涯结束了，我希望它只是逗号，不是句号，今天这一天终于到来了，但是我没有离开心爱的篮球，我的生活还在继续，我还是姚明。我还有很多事情可以做，远远没有达到画上句号的那一天，祝朋友们健康快乐，祝福我的家乡上海，第二故乡休斯敦，我们伟大的祖国，让我们热爱的篮球运动拥有更加美好的明天。

谢谢大家！Thank You！谢谢侬(上海话)。
