强壮的身体迎来了 25 岁生日
凯尔登·约翰逊（Keldon Johnson）是圣安东尼奥马刺队效力时间最长的球员。2019 年，凯尔登在首轮第 29 顺位被选中，是马刺队将科怀·伦纳德（Kawhi Leonard）和丹尼·格林（Danny Greene）送到多伦多猛龙队，换来德玛尔·德罗赞（DeMar DeRozan）、雅各布·珀尔特尔（Jakob Poeltl）以及一个首轮签后的额外收获。
他比卢卡·沙马尼奇（Luka Samanic）晚了 10 个顺位，比昆达里·威瑟斯庞（Quinndary Weatherspoon）早了 20 个顺位被选中，而后两者都在 2021 年离开了圣安东尼奥。
今年夏天，强壮的身体证明了他自己是马刺未来的一部分，他做了一件最马刺的事情：将自己的 3 号球衣让给了克里斯·保罗（Chris Paul）。此前，约翰逊曾与波波维奇一起在东京奥运会上赢得金牌，他们的关系从此密不可分。
今天，凯尔登迎来了 25 岁生日。他是队中六名在本赛季结束前年满 25 岁的球员之一（还有 11 名球员更加年轻）。
今年夏天，约翰逊花了一些时间通过拳击和严格的训练来塑造自己的体型。在一个看似潜力无限的球队中，他绝对在为自己的阵容位置而努力。
凭借着年轻、运动能力和活力，我们无法预知新赛季会发生什么。考虑到他正在接受一位历史最佳教练的指导，并且与控球之神和一位天赋异禀的球员并肩作战，约翰逊将有很多机会闪耀赛场。
生日快乐，强壮的身体！继续做你自己，我们会继续享受这段旅程的。

Open Thread: Happy birthday to Keldon Johnson
Big Body hits the quarter century mark
Keldon Johnson is the longest-tenured member of the San Antonio Spurs. Drafted 29th overall in 2019, Keldon was the bonus draft pick that came to San Antonio along with DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl by way of Toronto when the Spurs sent Kawhi Leonard and Danny Greene to the Raptors.
He was chosen ten picks behind Luka Samanic and twenty picks before Quinndary Weatherspoon, both of whom left San Antonio in 2021.
Big Body proved he is part of the Spurs future this summer when did the Spursiest of feats by passing along his #3 to Chris Paul. Previously, Johnson won Olympic gold with Pop in the Tokyo Olympics and their bond has been locked ever since.
Today, Keldon turns 25. He’s one of six players on the team who will be a quarter-century old by the season’s end (with eleven even younger).
This summer Johnson spent some time sculpting himself through boxing and rigorous workouts. He’s definitely vying for his roster spot on a team with seemingly unlimited potential.
With youth, athleticism and vitality on his side, there is no telling what the year holds in store for KJ. Considering he’s being coached by one of the all-time greats and he’s sharing the floor with the Point God and a generational talent, there will be many opportunities for Johnson to shine.
Happy birthday, Big Body! Keep being you, and we’ll keep enjoying the ride.
