American basketball star Kevin Garnett is retiring after 21 seasons in the NBA.

美国篮球巨星凯文·加内特在自己的第21个NBA赛季结束之后，正式宣告退役。

"Thank you KG," tweeted ASM Sports, Garnett's longtime agency. "Loved on and off the court, a role model, and one of the most influential players to ever play the game."

加内特长期所在的经纪公司ASM体育发推文称：“谢谢你，KG(加内特名字缩写)。你带给我们赛场内外的爱，是我们的模范，也是最有影响力的球员之一。”

Garnett led the down-trodden Timberwolves to eight consecutive playoff appearances, starting in 1997, after becoming the first player in 20 years to jump from high school to the NBA.

作为20年内首位从高中毕业后直接进入NBA的球员，自1997年起，加内特带领备受压制的的森林狼队连续八次杀入了季后赛。

He was selected the NBA's most valuable player in 2004 after leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals.

在2004年，他带领森林狼队挺进西部决赛，并被评为当季NBA最有价值球员。

He later teamed with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to revive the Boston Celtics as an Eastern Conference power, winning an NBA title in 2008 over the Los Angeles Lakers.

之后，他和保罗·皮尔斯以及雷·阿伦组队，使波士顿凯尔特人队重新成为东部强队，并最终战胜洛杉矶湖人队，成为了2008年的NBA总冠军。

Garnett, 40, leaves Minnesota having played 970 of his 1,462 NBA games there. During his 21-year career, he scored 26,071 points and took down 14,662 rebounds.

今年已经40岁的加内特在NBA一共打了1462场比赛，其中在森林狼队就有970场。在21年的职业生涯中，他一共拿下了26071分外加14662个篮板球。

Garnett posted a farewell video on Friday, four days bore the Minnesota Timberwolves are set to open training camp. He narrates the short, black-and-white video that shows him walking alone through Target Center with sunglasses on.

在森林狼新赛季训练营开始4天前，加内特于本周五发布了一段告别视频。在这份黑白的告别视频里，加内特戴着墨镜独自走在标靶中心内。

"I'm just thankful. I can't even put that into words," Garnett says. "I'm just thankful. I'm just thankful for everybody and the love. I never would have thought that people love me like this. "

加内特表示：“我的心里只有感激。我甚至无法用语言来形容这种心情。我只是心怀感激，感谢所有人和所有给予我的爱。我从没有想过人们会如此爱我。”
