У нашего переводчика alone, какие то проблемы с компом. В общем, до среды возможности сюда захаживать у нее, видимо, не будет. Тем не менее, она письмо перевела и прислала мне на почту. Огромное спасибо ей за труды. Те кто знает английский - читайте! Я так понимаю, Julietta, вы хорошо владеете языком, было бы неплохо если посмотрите, вдруг что-то надо исправить: Hello, Becky!
«Don't make an idol to yourself ». That's how the Bible said. But is it wrong, if there are person with whom you want to resemble, from whom you want to take an example, learn something? Is it wrong, that this person unites people with different interests, ages, which live in different parts of the country and the whole world?
Becky - the name of one girl from South Dakota. The name, which united thousands of Russians, which everyone says with a special trembling and tenderness. Who would have thought that the game of this small sportswoman will make the "explosion" in the camp of Russian team supporters? With big expectations, we were spending all time in front of TV, to see all Olympics moments, to support our team, but for the most part, to see again her - Becky. Her driving to the basket, incredible dribbling, crazy three-pointers. And sighs of frustration in the semifinal USA - Russia. But this local failure is nothing against the holiday, which you gave us, Becky, playing for the national Russian team. You made a great contribution to our bronze!
What compels us to love the athlete? Not that, which jumped higher than others. Not that, which has set 5 world records. Not that, which known throughout the world. But another person - a single and forever. She is not give up. Her smile is the most cordial, wide and charming. Though she is not always on the front steps of the pedestal, but even then she blinds with her brilliance and charm. In general, what compels us to love only you - Becky Hammon?
We often ask ourselves this question and did not find the answer. We just love you. And want you to know about it!
Certainly there are a lot of worthy athletes - professionals, like stars in the sky. Each is similar to another; they rise and fade away. And only one, that shines brightly and fiercely - Polar Star, always shines, because without her you can't imagine the sky! And it's associated only with you, you became a guiding star for us, which we can touch and doesn't burn!
You have appeared in our lives so suddenly; everyone of us has its own story «dating» with you. We are all so different, everyone feels something special, but there are some unusually strong thread that binds us ... This is very cool!
Playing for Russia, you still faithful to your homeland - this patriotism strikes and makes us to admire you! But for us you are not someone else too! In a short period of time, you have become an integral part of our basketball team, our big country, a part of us... It does not matter that you still can not understand the full Russian language, our humor is too far for you, that you do not feel Siberian air, you already have something Russian!
In fact, we can speak about our respect and love during many-many hours. And you've heard it millions of times in your life. The only thing that can not be missed, thanks! And we want you to say thank you! During the game, you give people happiness. And big, great, unbelievable, thank you, that living your live, doing great things you give people hope. The hope that they will be able to reach their dream. And they don't have to hide it, hide from it!
Thanks to you, Becky, the world became a little bit better. So we want to write - «if all mankind was like a Becky»! If everyone was capable of doing great things. Like you, Becky!
So, you know, dear Becky; there are your fans even in Russia, who, moreover, willing to fight for the title of the most faithful and constant. Just when you suddenly become very cold in our country (which is with our temperatures possible), remember that there are people who are warm up by thinking of you:
«Becky is wonderful that you are! Your smile makes our live brightly; your decisions in difficult situations don't give us even a chance to despair. They forced to believe in best and hope that our dream will realize! Following your example, we will strive to achieve our goals; we can overcome all obstacles, because we have such a bright guiding star!»

«On the 25th of October, my life changed the usual course, I realized that dream, albeit small, but the most cherished, come true! I dreamed so much, and so little I need to be happy. One day, one meeting, and the world turned upside down. And all thanks to whom? For what reason? The answer is simple - Becky Hammon! You, Becky, have proven to us that we should fight for the dream by any ways. Now you are Russian, not by blood, but in passport. Be aware, Becky, while your heart beats, loose from the breast, basketball gets more and more fans in our country. And we got YOU ... »

«Then, in Kursk, after the game (if you remember), I have tried to say something for so long, but even in Russian failed. Worried is not the right word. At the head were German, Ukrainian words, but not Russian - from those that then were needed.
I ask you not to upset by defeat at the court. You are not the WNBA champion, couldn't become Olympic champion. That's not a measure of the life. This is only sport. Life consists of my deeds, and your deed done you a great woman. For me, for many people, you are more than an athlete. When you are sad, when you'll be in hard situation- just think how many people you make happy. And how many people will come to help you!
It's a pity that there, in Kursk, I felt shy to shake your hand!»

«Any career sooner or later ends. Now I don't want to think about that time, when Becky Hammon wouldn't go to the court as a player. However, you should know that your Russian fans will always love and remember you. Time has no power over those feelings that you have placed in our hearts. And if something happen, remember, Becky, each of us is always ready to help you. Such people we are. We love once and forever. It's a particularly national character».

«You brightness is not blinds, its give warm. One fleeting look much more valuable than a gift. In and out of the court you give the positive off, and there is a desire to look only at you, support you, not ceasing to admire. Your game is fascinating, absorbing all the attention, and the heart starts beating with reckless speed, worrying about each game episode. A smile can't lefts indifferent absolutely anyone. Thanks that you are with us, you unites us, give a bunch of positive emotions, give impetus, and making us better».

«You changed my world. Really!!! It's not a joke or flattery. Imagine, several month ago I didn't even know who you are (how unhappy I was). But now my dream is only to see you, even from afar, to shake your hand and to say thank you. For all. You always being you. It's enough. You never give up. It's amaze. After reading your articles and interview I understood how smart and great you are. I practically haven't got any opportunities to see you in reality, but I'll do my best. I'll find a way, like you did all the time. So see you some day and somewhere Becky! P.S. If you need something, if you are in difficult situation, I'm always ready. Just one word...»

These our words and, what is more importantly, thoughts - your victory! You have a lot of achievements, but the primary victory, that is not out of the land and gold, you put in people's minds. We look into your eyes, see your smile and believe that capable of anything, but we are not able to comprehend the greatness of person, which incorporated all the forces of nature. Even though you had enough problems and difficulties in life, you're so militant and it will always be so. You take your place in our hearts, and now we will not give you away...
And whatever happen with you, whatever the obstacles faced on your way - you know that in a vast country like Russia, there are people whose breathing is ready to merge with you in unison, whose heartbeat is combined into one loud knocking, pulsating hot wave in all, even the most remote, its corners.
Your Russian fans.
Вопрос по поводу говорения Бекки чего-нибудь на камеру. Просьбу надо переделать так:
Becky, I have one request. Please, can you make something like video message for all your Russian fans? Say something may be even in Russian, anything you want!
И еще, над вопросами в конце письма нужно определиться: какие и сколько и тоже перевести... пока вроде все.
Гость из Минска, вы тоже можете поучаствовать если хотите. Все, кто еще желает написать Бекки что-то от себя или задать вопрос, спешите... пока время есть, до 9 ноября!
Отсутствие мотивации у игрока, по обоюдному согласию контракт расторгнут (( Печально очень.
только с вашего разрешеня, заменю свои слова в личном сообщении. появилась другая идея. а так все просто супер! 
...будем сегодня держать кулачки и болеть!Надеюсь все получится!)))
кстати, в этот раз надо про вопросы не забыть! блин, так хочется чего-нибудь новенького с места действий, так хочется много всего спросить! жалко, что идея джорджа практически не осуществима...или все же?
