1. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.
译文：我想让他意识到这一点，以便为下一赛季做准备。

乔丹退役演说
我在这里宣布从篮球赛场上退役，而且这次退役后不会再去从事棒球或 其他类似的运动。
由于精神上很疲惫，我感到自己非常缺乏挑战力；体力倒还不错。1993 年那次退役时我有其他计划：想打棒球，我这个年纪正是从事棒球事业的极 佳时机。而且父亲刚好去世了，我只想尽力去面对这一切。
事实上，去年赛季刚结束时，我和杰里谈过一次。我告诉他我精神上
有些疲惫，不知到下一年还能不能打。我想让他意识到这一点，以便为下一 赛季做准备。杰里和我有一次谈过这个问题，他让我要象93年那样，好好考 虑，以便作出明智的决定，因为这将是最后决定。
第一次退役时费尔·杰克逊是教练。但我觉得即使本赛季他还担任教
练，我也会很困难，内心里，我已感受到了挑战。当然无论如何，他都会给 我一些应对方法的。我不知道他是否还有办法使我打完这一赛季。在本赛季 中间我还想着再打几年呢，但当赛季结束时，我却感觉精神枯竭，疲惫。因 此我确实不能说他会使我恢复精力。
我将支持芝加哥公牛队，我认为比赛本身比迈克尔·乔丹重要得多。我 的很多机会都是篮球前辈们给的。我这里指出一些，如卡里姆·阿卜杜·贾 巴尔，J博士，艾里奥恩·贝勒，杰里·韦斯特。这些人早在乔丹出生前就活 跃在赛场了。迈克尔·乔丹只不过是继承了他们的传统。斯特恩先生及其为 联盟做出的贡献给了我打篮球的机会。我已尽我最大努力打好球，我曾努力 推动比赛本身的发展。我一直在努力，尽我所能成为最好的篮球球员。
