以下是Marbury告別信的中英文原文：
The end looks beautiful.
站在這最後的結尾處，一切看起來都這麼美好。
The next chapter is exciting.
新的篇章也讓人覺得興奮。
All the hard work was worth it. The ups the downs were worth getting on the roller coaster.
所有的努力都讓人心甘情願，這雲霄飛車一般的旅程自然是有起有伏。
Learning growing and becoming was the hardest part but here we are at the end preparing for a new start.
一路學習一路成長成為你自己是最難的，現在我站在終點，也就站在了一個新的開始前。
We only have one life so we must try everything. Failure was amazing from where I stand now.
我們只有一次生命，於是我們得不停嘗試，從我的經歷看，即便失敗都非常美妙。

Experiencing the pain in losing drove my desire higher. It made me go crazy! It forced me to train harder.
失敗的痛苦總讓我瘋狂，也總讓我更加渴望，這只會讓我更加努力地訓練。
My focus became laser sharp. But here I am at the end with you who have seen me rise to create magical moments by the pain of losing deep in my heart.
我的注意力會更加集中，埋藏在心裡最深處失敗的苦痛驅使著我不斷提升，於是才有那些我們共同經歷神奇時刻一一出現，這一路你們伴隨著我。
I dropped everything and left the Best basketball league in the world to do all of what we know now. 3 championships in a country people said I would pollute but I see nothing but love and a straight hand forward salute.
你們見證著我離開一切，告別NBA，在一個被人預測將被我汙染的國度裡贏下了三個總冠軍，你們給我的只有愛。向你們致意！

What a day this is!
然後我們來到了告別的這一天。
I didn’t know I would meet so many people with so much love. Yes China you are love. You are the heart of my basketball career.
這旅程中我根本不知道自己會遇到如此多給我愛的人，是的，中國，你本身就是愛，你就是我籃球生涯裡最光彩的部分，是它的心臟。
At one time I had no place for the blood to go and you opened up a portal to your hearts for me to flow.
曾經我無處可去，你們開啟懷抱，給我通道，於是我們血脈相連。
You let me live when I was dying. I can’t explain my feeling as I’m crying.
你們給了我新的生命，我很難解釋清楚這讓人想哭的感覺。

I’m so happy the end is here so you can give me your last cheer.
讓我高興的是，在告別職業生涯時我能站在北京的土地上，這樣我就可以最後一次聽到你們給我的歡呼。
Ending my basketball career here in China completes me. This is it no NBA no anywhere.
在中國，在這座城市終結我的籃球生涯也讓我的人生完整。再沒有第二個地方能夠如此。
This is the way it’s supposed to end here with you and only you.
這就是這旅程應有的結局，和你們在一起，只和你們在一起。
I don’t want to talk to much because I can be here for a lifetime in expressing my deepest love for you.
我不想再說更多，因為如果時間足夠，我可以用去一輩子的時間講述給你們聽我有多愛你們。

I heard a saying that you create your fame when I beg to differ, the people create this lane.
有人說你贏得了盛名，我不敢苟同，是人民創造了所有。
This is how you become Legend this is how you become BEIJING LEGEND by the people.
這就是你成為傳奇的方式，人民讓我成了北京傳奇。
If you want to live and compete in this city, if you want to gain respect and love, if you want to become a legend, you have to embrace this spirit.
如果你想在這座城市裡生存下去，如果你想贏得愛與尊重，如果你想成為傳奇，你得擁抱這種精神。
My mother said stay where you’re loved (China) because Love is stronger than a meaningless hug.
我媽跟我說，就待在你感受得到愛的中國吧，因為愛比虛情假意的擁抱要有力量得多。

I forgive and I’ll like to be forgiven by anyone who I’ve ever caused harm or hurt, todays the day we write on a clean shirt.
我原諒傷害過我的，也乞求原諒，從今天開始，讓我們把那些都抹去，只留下愛。
I want to thank China the CBA, Beikong, Beijing Rural Commerical Bank, My Teammates, Shougang My former Teammates and the City of Beijing for allowing me to live out my dream! My family for supporting me these last 9 years. Without the support of you guys none of this would be possible. I love you all! And of course I want to thank God most of all for giving me all that my heart desires. Thank you all!
我想感謝中國，感謝CBA，感謝北控球隊，北京農商銀行，我的隊友，首鋼球隊，我的前隊友，以及這座偉大的城市北京，你們給了我夢想成真。希望你們可以繼續支持這支球隊。感謝我的家人，在過去九年裡用他們的方式支持我。沒有以上的所有，過去的這些都不會發生。當然，我要感謝上帝讓我經歷我所經歷的這一切，除了謝謝，再沒有其他了。
Love is Love!
