It's the best advice I've ever gotten.
這是我所得到的最好的建議。
And anytime I've needed it - anytime I've been snubbed, or underrated, or even flat-out disrespected,
每當我需要它的時候--每當我被人冷嘲熱諷，被人輕視，甚至被人不尊重的時候，
I've just remembered those words, and I've persevered.
我都會想起母親說的那些話，然后我就會堅持下去。
I remember part of the problem being just how skinny I was. Like, I'm telling you all -- I was so so so skinny.
我記得那個時候我的問題就是特別的瘦。真的，我告訴你們，我瘦得像一道閃電！
All this analysis that people would put out there, all these scouting reports and whatever, that kept the focus on what I supposedly couldn't do.
所有人們發表的這些分析數據，所有的球探的報告之類的，當時所有的一切都聚焦在我“不能”做的事情。
"Undersized", "Not a finisher", "Extremely limited". I can still reel them off to this day.
“體型太小”，“不能成為終結者”，“能力非常有限”，我到今天還能夠列舉很多這些話。
It's how people assume that, once you've started to have a certain amount of success … "feeling underrated" starts going away.
人們就是這樣認為：一旦你有了一定的成就，“被低估”就開始消失了。
And that, once you've finally reached any sort of ultimate goal, it starts going away forever.
而且，一旦你最終達到了某種終極目標，這種感覺就會永遠消失。
But from my own experience? In your head, honestly -- it never goes away. In mine, it's never even diminished.
但從我個人經歷來看？這種感覺在你腦海中，說實話，永遠不會消失。但在我的腦海中，它甚至沒有減少過。
Not in 2010, trying to make five teams regret their draft decisions.
2010年，在我想要讓那5支不選我的球隊后悔他們決定的時候。
Not in 2012, trying to fight through ankle problems and loss.
2012年，在我努力從腳踝的傷痛和輸球中恢復的時候。
Not in 2014, trying to prove these experts wrong who felt that Curry's style of play just won't work in the playoffs.
2014年，在我想要證明，“庫里的打法不適合季后賽”的想法是錯誤的時候。
Not in 2016, trying to break the Bulls' 72 wins record. Not in 2017, trying to figure out how the Warriors blew a 3-1 series lead.
2016年，在我們想要打破公牛隊的72勝記錄的時候；2017年，在我想要搞清楚勇士是如何搞砸3-1領先的時候。在這種種時刻中，我從未失去過那“被低估”的感覺。
And I think that's one of the biggest things I've really come to understand about myself over the last 17 years:
在過去的17年中，我領悟到的一個最大的道理是：
The way that underrated might start off as just some feeling the world imposes on you.
被低估或許只是世界強加給你的感受。
But if you figure out how to harness it? It can become a feeling that you impose on the world.
但如果你懂得如何去控制它呢？那它就變成你強加給世界的感受。
Don't sleep on him. Kid is a killer.
可別小瞧他。這小子是個殺手。
