survey
本篇新聞主要是統計了球員的身高、體重、年資等資訊作比較：
注意：本篇是去年十月新聞，所以內文大家看起來可能會有點怪（因為敘事角度是開季時
），雖係以季中交易前各隊的數據資訊來報導，私以為仍不失為一參考資訊，至少在以＂
聯盟平均＂作為顯示的數據上並沒有因為交易而有所影響。但如果大家覺得資訊不足參，
我再自刪囉～
1. Each season, the league uses its findings to determine who is the "average"
NBA player, with Thunder small forward Andre Roberson fitting the bill this s
eason. The average player in the league is 26 years old, 6-foot-7, 219.05 poun
ds and has 4.8 seasons worth of NBA experience. Roberson, 26, is listed at 6-f
oot-7, 210 pounds and has played five seasons in the league. He awaits the sta
rt to his sixth season as he rehabs from patellar tendon surgery.
每個球季，聯盟都會用這些調查的數據找出誰是最「同時符合」聯盟「平均身高」、「平
均體重」、「平均年齡」、「平均年資」，而今年的當選者是最符合平均數據（26歲、6
呎7吋身高、219.05 磅以及平均4.8季年資）但今年沒出賽的Andre Robertson（26歲、6
呎7、210磅、5季年資）
2. There are still two active players in the league who were born in the 1970
s: Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki. Meanwhile, the youngest player in the leagu
e hadn’t been born when Michael Jordan won his sixth and final championship i
n 1998. Isaac Bonga of the Lakers was born on Nov. 8, 1999, meaning next year
there will be an NBA active player born in 2000.
目前聯盟還有兩名出生在1970年代的球員，分別是Vince Carter和Nowitzki，於此同時，
目前聯盟最年輕的那群球員，在1998年MJ拿下第六冠的時候甚至還沒出生。這季最年輕的
球員是湖人的Isaac Bonga，出生於1999年11月8號天蠍座，下賽季的球員就是千禧世代啦
3. Another wild takeaway in the age category is that out of 440 players in the
league, 418 of them are younger than 33-year-old LeBron James, who in his 16t
h season is still playing at an MVP level.
目前在聯盟的440名球員中，有418位比年資16年且仍處於巔峰的LBJ還年輕。
4. The Cavaliers were the oldest team in the NBA last season, but that changed
following James’ defection to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets now hold t
hat title (28.6 years old), with the New York Knicks officially labeled the yo
ungest team in the league (24.57).
在17-18賽季，騎士隊是聯盟平均年齡最老球隊，但當LeBron西進洛杉磯後，火箭成為聯
盟最年長球隊（平均28.6歲），而尼克則是聯盟最年輕球隊（24.57歲）
5. The Nuggets have a roster that uniquely ranks second to last among teams w
ith the most NBA experience (an average of 3.27 years). The Bulls have the low
est average in the league (3.13), followed by the Nuggets, Knicks (3.47), Celt
ics (3.53) and Magic (3.53).
論各隊球員平均年資，金塊以平均年資3.27年排倒數第二 ,而公牛以平均3.13年資位列倒
數第一，後面倒數三四五分別是尼克(3.47年)、
賽提(3.53)、魔術（3.53）
6. The Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis and Clippers’ Boban Marjanovic are once ag
ain the tallest players in the league at 7-foot-3, with 5-foot-9 Nuggets point
guard Isaiah Thomas being the league’s shortest player. A few names that fit
the average NBA height of 6-foot-7 inches tall: DeMar DeRozan, Luka Doncic, D
raymond Green, Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson. Additionally, the Nets, Nugget
s, Grizzlies and Kings all sport rosters with an average height of exactly 6-f
oot-7.
KP和Boban再一次成為聯盟兩個最高的球員（7呎3吋），而金塊的運鈔車矮湯則以5呎9吋
再度成為聯盟最矮球員，另外幾個較知名符合聯盟平均身高的球員有：DDR、077、嘴綠、
Kawhi、KT，另外，籃網、金塊、灰熊及國王隊平均身高正好為6呎7
7. Despite having the NBA’s rebounding leader in 6-foot-11 Andre Drummond, th
e Detroit Pistons check in as the shortest team in the league overall (6 feet,
6.27 inches). The Washington Wizards are the NBA’s tallest squad on average
at 6 feet, 8.15 inches.
儘管擁有目前聯盟最強籃板手Andre Drummond，活塞隊仍然榮登NBA平均最矮球隊（6呎6.
27吋），與之相對，華盛頓巫師以平均6呎8.15吋排名第一
8. The University of Kentucky remains the top college represented on NBA roste
rs, with a total of 27 players hailing from the collegiate powerhouse. Duke (2
3), UCLA (15), Kansas (12) and North Carolina (11) round out the top five.
在所有球員中，以來自肯塔基大學的球員目前為最多，共有27人。後續二至五名分別為
：杜克大學23人、UCLA15人、堪薩斯12人、北卡11人
9. There are 20 players who wear No. 3, the most popular jersey number worn in
the NBA. Guards Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Bradley Beal, CJ. McCollum each don
the digit Allen Iverson once wore.
本季最熱門背號為3號，共有20名球員選擇該號作為球衣背號（CP3、Wade、Beal、CJ每個
都穿著AI曾經穿過的背號）
