https://tinyurl.com/sg9txrh Kevin Garnett and Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor have had a tangled history, with Garnett keeping his distance from the franchise in recent years after the end of his playing days in Minnesota left a sour taste in Garnett’s mouth. KG 與老闆 Glen Taylor 之間關係依舊有糾結打不開。 But upon the announcement that Garnett will be entering the Basketball Hall of Fame, Taylor put out a statement released by the team praising Garnett. 不過，在入選籃球名人堂的消息一出，Taylor 還是代表球團恭賀 KG。 “This is an honor so well deserved,” said Taylor, who also owns the Star Tribune. “We congratulate Kevin on being selected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. From the day we drafted him in 1995, we knew there was something special about him that Minnesota had never experienced before. I’ve watched Kevin grow on and off the court and will forever be grateful for his contributions to the Timberwolves organization.” 「這份榮耀實至名歸。」Taylor 表示。「恭喜 Kevin 入選奈史密斯籃球名人紀念堂。自從1995年選秀會那天，我們深信他的天賦是明尼蘇達從未擁有過的。我一路見證著 Kevin 在球場上乃至球場外的成長，球隊將永遠感激他為這支球隊的貢獻。」 Those contributions haven’t been duplicated since in the Wolves organization. Garnett led the team to its only trip to the Western Conference finals in 2004 and led it to eight straight playoff appearances. Of course, Garnett won a title with the Celtics in 2008 and is scheduled to have his jersey retired by Boston before Minnesota does the honors, another piece of fallout from Garnett’ s fractured relationship with the organization, where Garnett concluded his playing days in 2016. 可惜那些貢獻未能轉換成最高榮耀。球隊在 KG 帶領下連續八季闖入季後賽，僅一次晉級西區冠軍賽。後續發展，KG 在2008年以C’s成員奪冠，波士頓也搶先一步將他的球衣背號高懸球場，可以看出 KG 與這支他在2016年結束職業生涯的球團，仍需時間修補關係。 But on Saturday, there were only nice things to say from Taylor’s end. 但在 KG 進入籃球名人堂這天，Taylor 只想要遞出橄欖枝。 “He was beloved by our fans in a way that only few players experience and will always have a place at Target Center,” Taylor said. “To be elected in his first year of eligibility validates the impact he had on basketball in Minnesota, the NBA, and around the globe. We are so happy for him to receive this recognition.” 「他始終受到球迷熱愛，也將永遠在標靶中心(Target Center)擁有一席之地。」Taylor 說道。「獲得資格的第一年就入選，應證了他對明州籃球界，對 NBA，甚至是全球的影響力。我們非常高興他獲得此項殊榮。」 --- 讓時間修補一切，希望不久將來有機會見到21號球衣退休儀式。 https://youtu.be/3sQn4A8sCvM
