亲爱的篮球：
From the moment
从我第一次
I started rolling my dad's tube socks
穿上父亲的筒形短袜
And shooting imaginary
开始想象
Game-winning shots
自己置身于大西部论坛球馆
In the Great Western Forum
命中绝杀球时
I knew one thing was real:
我就清楚知道：
I fell in love with you.
我深深地爱上了你。
A love so deep I gave you my all —

From my mind & body

As a six-year-old boy
