Thank You, OKC
谢谢你，奥克拉荷马城
I know it was only one season, but from the time I arrived in OKC,I was greeted with so much love from The Team,The Organization,and of course the INCREDIBLE fans of this amazing city.我知道虽然我在这里仅仅呆了一个赛季，但从我抵达这座神奇城市的那一刻，我受到了来自球队，俱乐部的热烈欢迎，当然，还有这里超棒的球迷。Throughout the entire season, game after game, you cheered me on and rooted for us as a team. That is something I will always cherish and never forget. That genuine support kept me going all season long.过去一整个赛季里，每一场比赛，你们为球队加油，也激励着我前进。我将永远珍惜和永远铭记这些。你们真诚的支持让我整个赛季都勇往直前。IN LIFE, I've learned that things don't always turn out how you want.

I'm sorry it didn't work out while I was here.在生活中，我认识到事情并非往往如你所愿。我想做的只是努力发挥光热，为这座城市带来一个冠军奖杯。但我很抱歉，在这一年里，我没能做到。Thank you to Russ, PG, Sam Presti, Coach Billy Donovan, my trainers and the entire staff who work so hard and diligently at Chesapeake Energy Arena and the practice facility.
