Already one of the NBA's most talented players for several years， Garnett raised his game to an even higher level in 2003-2004 and earned the NBA Most Valuable Player Award. Garnett did it all in his ninth NBA season， leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to their best-ever regular season record (58-24)， first division title and first series triumphs in the playoffs (a 4-1 first round victory over Denver and a 4-3 conference semifinal win over Sacramento).

加內特幾乎是NBA這些年來最有天賦的球員了，2003-2004賽季打出了比以往更高的水平，并且在那一年獲得了NBA最有價值球員的稱號。加內特在他的第九個NBA生涯中幾乎做到了一個球員所能做到的一切，帶領明尼蘇達森林狼隊以這個球隊歷史上最好的常規賽戰績完成了2003-2004賽季（58勝24負），歷史上第一個分區冠軍和季后賽首度連勝（第一輪4：1淘汰丹佛掘金和西區半決賽中4：3戰勝薩克拉門托國王隊）。

K.G. also set new single-season career-highs in scoring (24.2 ppg， 2nd in the NBA)， rebounds (13.9 rpg， 1st in the NBA) and blocked shots (2.17 bpg)， in addition to averaging 5.0 assists and 1.46 steals per game.

K.G.（凱文·加內特的簡稱）還刷新了自己的單賽季得分新高（平均每場24.2分，排名NBA得分榜第二位），籃板（平均每場13.9個，NBA第一），蓋帽（場均2.17個），加上場均５次助攻和1.46次搶斷。

Garnett's huge year shouldn't come as a surprise. In 2002-2003， Garnett posted similar numbers but finished second to San Antonio's Tim Duncan in voting for the 2003 NBA MVP Award. That season， K.G. started all 82 games and posted career-highs in scoring (23.0 ppg)， rebounds (13.4 rpg)， assists (6.0 apg) and minutes (40.5 mpg).

加內特的偉大賽季應該不會讓人感到意外。在2002-2003賽季，加內特有著同樣的表現，不過排在了圣安東尼奧馬刺隊的蒂姆·鄧肯之后，在聯盟中排名第二，最終蒂姆·鄧肯獲得了當年的MVP。那個賽季，K.G.參加了所有82場常規賽，也取得了職業生涯最高場均得分（23.0分），籃板（13.4個），助攻（6.0個），上場時間（場均40.5分鐘）。

Garnett's surge to stardom began in 1995 when he was drafted by the Timberwolves directly out of Farragut Academy High School (Chicago) with the fifth overall choice in the 1995 NBA Draft. Although an increasing number of players， including LeBron James in 2003， have made the jump from high school to the NBA， K.G. set the table for them when he became the first player in more than 20 years to be drafted directly out of high school.

加內特是1995年從芝加哥的發拉古特學院以選秀第五位被森林狼隊選中而進入NBA的，那之后，他就開始了他的傳奇表演。雖然有更多的球員進入NBA，包括2003年的勒布朗·詹姆斯，他是從高中球隊直接升入NBA的，K.G.依然成為了NBA20年以來最優秀的從高中直升NBA的球員，為后來的小球員作出了榜樣。

His pro career was an immediate success as he was named to the 1995-1996 NBA All-Rookie Second Team. He broke the Timberwolves' team record for blocked shots in a season， finishing with 131 rejections in his rookie year.

他的新秀賽季一開始就非常成功，也入選了1995-1996年的新秀第二陣容。他在那個賽季還打破了森林狼隊賽季總蓋帽數的紀錄，一個賽季總共有131次蓋帽。

Garnett's improvement continued into his second NBA season (1996-1997) as he participated in his first NBA All-Star Game. That same year he led the Timberwolves to their first-ever appearance in the NBA Playoffs.

加內特在他的第二個NBA賽季（1996-1997賽季）有著長足的進步，他入選了那個賽季的NBA全明星陣容。那個賽季他帶領森林狼隊首次打入了NBA的季后賽。

The next few years were highlighted by similar outings by Garnett but he was doing more than putting strong numbers on the board each night. His fiery style and enthusiasm served as powerful inspiration for his teammates， and with increased maturity， he took on more of a leadership role.

之后的幾年他成為了場上的最受關注的球員，而他每晚的表現更加令人驚喜。他那狂野的性格和激情的表演給了隊友很大的鼓舞，隨著他的越發成熟，他一直在場上充當著領袖的角色。

Garnett earned MVP honors in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta with 37 points， nine rebounds， five steals and three assists. Honors after the season included selections to the All-NBA First Team (his fifth overall All-NBA selection)， NBA All-Defensive First Team and second-place finishes in voting for NBA Most Valuable Player and NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

加內特在2003年亞特蘭大的全明星比賽中以37分，９個籃板，５次搶斷和３次助攻的表現獲得了最有價值球員的稱號，在賽季之后，他也入選了NBA最佳陣容（在所有NBA球員中選出5名最優秀球員）、NBA最佳防守陣容和最佳球員的第二名。

Clearly， K.G. has become the driving force behind Minnesota's rise to success. The year before he arrived at the Twin Cities， the team had a 21-61 record. Since then， the team has steadily improved. Although a successful postseason eluded the Timberwolves for years， Garnett Co. discovered a winning formula in 2004.

很明顯，K.G.成為了明尼蘇達崛起背后的第一動力。2004季后賽之前，他的球隊的戰績是21勝61負，那以后，森林狼隊在他的帶領下一直在進步。雖然一個成功的賽季不能代表森林狼隊在以后的幾年里都能有這樣的成績，但是加內特的隊友們找到了勝利的公式。
