虽然近来C's和KG都在挣扎，18th banner也远比数据来得重要
但许多绿血外国乡民都注意到KG即将达成史无前例的惊人里程碑，
今年风风雨雨的球季中，仍然是目前少数值得开心的事~
以下正文：
Kevin Garnett is on the precipice on joining a very exclusive club. A club so
exclusive in fact, that when he joins it, he will be it's only member.
KG即将晋身一个非常特殊的行列；
特殊到一旦他成功达成，将成为NBA史上第一人。
With 32 more assists, Garnett will pass Sleepy Floyd for 50th on the NBA's
all-time assist leader board (5,144). This is important, because Garnett
already ranks in the top 50 in rebounds (12th - 13,566), points (17th -
24,802), steals (18th - 1,702) and blocks (19th - 1,937). As you can see, not
only is he top 50 in those categories, he's in the top 20 in all 4.
(注：数据截至13/01/14)
再32个助攻，KG就要超越传奇球星"睡神"弗洛伊德，
NBA助攻榜攻下史上第五十位(5,144 asts.)
这个荣誉意义重大，因为KG在篮板排名12(13,566 rbs.)
得分排名17(24,802 pts.)、抄截18(1,702 stls.)、火锅19(1,937 blks.)
全都排进NBA史上前五十名；而助攻外的四项数据堪堪达到前二十名。
Since the NBA started tracking steals and blocks in 1972-73, no player has
accumulated enough of each of the five categories to rank in the top 50. And
even going back into the pre-steal/block era, the only player who may have
had a chance is Oscar Robertson who easily cracked the top 50 in points,
rebounds and assists, and in his prime was known as an above average
defensive player.
由于NBA在1972-73球季才开始统计抄截和火锅数据，
五项基本数据排名前五十的球员史无前例。
就算回到72'年前，唯一可能达成这项成就的只有上古神兽大O；
他的得分、篮板、助攻纪录早已高悬许久，
而且全盛时期的大O也是个不错的防守者。
While KG is viewed as a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer, I think he may
be more than that. It's entirely possible that he is the most well rounded
player in NBA history. Again I'm not saying the most dominant, or the
winningest, or the greatest. As fantastic as he is, I don't think anyone
considers him more dominant than Wilt, a better winner than Russell, or
greater than Jordan. But in terms of his all around game? He just may be the
best we've ever seen. Some facts:
当然KG早就公认是准名人堂的巨星了，但我认为他可不只是名人堂级而已。
他极有可能会成为篮板的史上第一人！
当然我并非是说KG最有统治力、最会赢球或最伟大；
就算强大如KG，宰制力也无法比拟张真人、
比罗素爷赢下更多冠军、或比MJ更伟大。但说到球风全面，
KG很有可能是史上最优异的全能球员。
以下足以佐证：
Scoring - While he's never led the NBA in scoring, he's topped the 20 PPG
mark in 9 of his 18 NBA seasons. His overall scoring average per game is 19.2
PPG. He's also incredibly efficient, shooting 50% from the floor and 79% from
the free throw line. His offensive repertoire is diverse - fadeaway jumper's
from the post, up-and-under shimmy shake's on the block, and his 18 footer,
which he has consistently knocked down throughout his career.
得分：虽然从来没有当过得分王，目前18季职业生涯中，KG有9季是前二十名的得分好手。
生涯目前场均19.2分的KG打球极有效率，命中率五成外另附赠七成九罚球命中率，
攻击手段多到目不暇给，职业生涯送出了无数无解后仰、低位作战、
假动作送麻辣锅、和稳定的中距离。
Rebounding - Led the NBA in rebounding 4 consecutive seasons (2004-2007), and
has averaged double digit boards for his career (10.5 a game). He has never
been a prolific offensive rebounder, instead preferring to get back on
defense (many coaches would much prefer this to crashing the offensive glass
and getting beat back down the floor). But he's one of the greatest defensive
rebounders of all time. In fact there is a very good chance that by the time
he retires he will have passed Karl Malone for the most defensive rebounds in
NBA history (he's 889 behind him now).
篮板：曾连续三季蝉联篮板王宝座(04-07) (注：原文似乎算错了XD)，
生涯也有10.5板的佳绩。KG从未抓下太多进攻篮板，
这跟他在防守端投入更多热血的球风有关。
(比起抓进攻篮板失位被打快攻，很多教练会更喜欢稳当的防守篮板)
再889个篮板，KG就可以超越老马成为DRb史上第一人了。
Passing - Simply put one of the most un-selfish big men of all time. A career
average of 4 assists per game from a 7 footer is basically unheard of, and
for a span of six consecutive years with Minnesota Garnett averaged over 5
APG.
传球：KG很可能是史上最无私的长人了。他是唯一场均4助攻的七呎球员，
且狼王时代的KG连续六年都场均5+妙传。
Defense - His true strength. The steals and blocks have been discussed, but
that's not even what this is about. He took home the 2007-08 Defensive player
of the year award, and it can be argued that he deserved to win several more.
He's made 9 All-defensive first teams and 3 All-defensive second teams in his
18 year run, and again - he should have made more. Basketball reference also
keeps a stat called "Defensive Win Shares" that measures how many wins a
player has been worth on the defensive end over his career. KG has been worth
as astounding 85.3, the 7th most in history. Every night he guards the best
big man the opponent has to offer, and in the vast majority of cases he wins
that battle. There is a case to be made that on the all-time All-Defensive
team, he is the starting PF (can't go wrong with Duncan either).
防守：KG真正的绝技。他的抄截和火锅都非同小可，
不过这还不足以代表他的防守实力。KG是08年最佳防守球员，本来还有机会多拿几座的~
18年来他选入九次防守第一队和三次第二队，若非伤病应享更高荣誉。
Basketball Reference.com有项数据称为"防守win shares"，KG以85.3高居史上第七。
每场球赛他都扛下敌队最佳长人，而且常常压倒对手。
如果排出NBA史上最强防守五人，KG和TD都足以先发。
Durability - Since his career began in 1995, Garnett has missed more than 13
games exactly once (2008-09, knee injury). He's appeared in 1,291 games, 14th
in league history and by the time he finishes up his current contract he will
be one of just a handful of NBA players to play 20 seasons, and if he stays
healthy - he'll finish in the top 5 in games played.
耐战力：从95'年开始，只有09'膝盖受伤那年KG缺战超过13场。
KG以1,291场出场数荣居史上第14，而合约走完前若能保持健康，
下季KG也将成为NBA仅有五位能打20季的老妖G...
A few other stats for Garnett: 14 time all-star, 9 time All-NBA, 2003-04 MVP,
2008 NBA champ.
其他KG的重要荣誉：14(+1)度全明星，九次年度前三队，04'MVP，08'总冠军成员！
Perhaps the best word to describe KG is unique. The way the talks on the
court, the way he interacts with the fans and media, the way he has been the
heart and soul of his team's since the Mid-90's. His passion for the game has
never waned, and despite the fact that he's logged nearly 52,000 minutes on
his odometer - his game remains nearly as good as it was in his prime. So
just a message to all basketball fans: Enjoy the next two and a half seasons,
because once Garnett leaves, it's possible we'll never see another player
quite like him.
形容KG最贴切的词汇，大概是独一无二吧。他场上碎碎念的功力、
和媒体球迷的关系、从90'中之后不断为球队燃烧的小宇宙、
52,000分钟球赛里不灭的热情、稳当高档的球场贡献...
让我们享受KG时代的余晖吧，再过几年，他的辉煌也只能在记忆中追寻。
