魔術(shù)球員、球員工會第一副主席阿多納爾-福耶爾(Adonal Foyle)正式發(fā)布退役。

今年35歲的福耶爾在NBA征戰(zhàn)了13年，先后效率過金州勇士、奧蘭多魔術(shù)和孟菲斯灰熊，他在733場慣例賽中有過登場，場均得到4.1分4.7個籃板1.6次蓋帽。

由于退役，福耶爾將在之后幾天辭去球員工會第一副主席的職位。

據(jù)悉，魔術(shù)隊目前的球員發(fā)展主管職位還有空缺，福耶爾可能是這個職位的幻想人選。

福耶爾一直在從事人道主義工作，2005年，他還建立了“Kerosene Lamp Foundation”慈善機構(gòu)，以幫助兒童。退役后，他還將持續(xù)做他的慈善工作。“現(xiàn)在，我只盼望完成我人生的這一部分工作，之后再來考慮如何達到人生的下一站。”福耶爾說道。

在離開之前，福耶爾特意寫了一首詩，與球迷、球隊、隊友以及NBA告別。內(nèi)容如下：

Love Song to a Game

By: Adonal Foyle

How should I tell thee goodbye?

What can you say about a love affair to rival that of Romeo & Juliet? This is not just some melancholy ode to a hackneyed love of mortals.

I found our love deep in the entrails of the Caribbean Sea. Love that swept me to a land where our embrace became mythical.

You showed me a world that few have dreamt of.

Colgate's golden steeple, a sojurn where ancient teachings flooded my mind.

There in the Chenango Valley where 13 sang my soul to flight, basketball laid siege to my soul.

I do not cry for the passing of our love for it stands radiant while my brittle bones crumble through swift time.

I have known you by so many faces; I will spend my end of days recalling.

You have infected so many with the allure of riches and black gold. But I am not angry with you my love. For to a boy who was lost in the bosom of nothing you gave hope and home.

Like the flickering of a light we come and go without much fuss. So I leave you to fend off seekers, hoping they too will cherish your unyielding countenance.

As for me, I will forever live in the glare of your loving embrace. From time to time I hope you will look in on this pitiful fool.

I will miss brothers of a quilt struggling with burning lights. If I offer advice, pierce beyond the glaring lights and see the faces behind the wall. Don't be fooled by the magicians' nibble fingers. For this is a life with mirrors and screens. Its only truth lies in the understanding it will all end.

The sound I will take home is the symphony of thousands of screaming friends.

Warriors, Magic and yes, Memphis too, I sing you praise, hope, blessings,

Flowing from a boy's songs of thanks to you and you and you,to all I knew.

Please stay my "immortal love."
