Dear Basketball,

亲爱的篮球，

From the moment

从小时候

I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

我穿着老爸的直筒袜

And shooting imaginary

假装着

Game-winning shots

我在大西部论坛球馆

In the Great Western Forum

投中制胜球的样子

I knew one thing was real:

我就清楚知道一件事情：

I fell in love with you.

我爱上你了。

A love so deep I gave you my all —

我爱你如此之深，已奉献我的所有

From my mind body

从我的思想到我的身体

To my spirit soul.

从我的精神到我的灵魂

As a six-year-old boy
