昨晚，熬夜看球，看湖人为季后赛西部的最后一个席位而战。
看着神勇的科比一次又一次地倒在了赛场上，又一次又次地顽强地站起来继续。我在坛子里叹：科比真是个铁人呀，做他的家人真不容易，看着得多难受多心疼。
昨晚最后一次倒下，他一瘸一拐地挪到罚球线，两罚两中。 然后，他的脸上几乎没有痛苦的表情、几乎没有任何表情，自己慢慢地走向场边，走出了他最近已经每场几乎连续奋战四十八分钟的赛场。
赛后，看他接受采访，听他说sad, 听他说no, I can't play through。他红了的双眼、哽咽的声音，我不忍看不忍听，忍不住泪上眼眶。
我不懂什么是torn achilles，问。坛子的人说，就是脚筋断了，跟刘翔一样的伤，运动员可能有的最严重的伤之一。可科比，他居然可以回到场上，可以靠一只脚两罚全中，可以自己走下去，可以面无痛色，怎样的一种坚强！
今早，看到坚强如他的诉说。除了无比的敬佩，还能有什么；除了无穷的祝福，还能做什么。

I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to... overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe this is how my book ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.
