http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_17393226?nclick_check=1 Minnesota Timberwolves' All-Star Kevin Love continues to set milestones this season with his double-double feats, but his 12 points and 11 rebounds in Monday night's loss to Portland were especially significant. The double-double, Love's 50th of the season, made him just the second player in NBA history to post 50 before the All-Star break. The only other player to achieve that was former Minneapolis Laker George Mikan, who had exactly 50 double-doubles before the 1950 All-Star break. Love and the Wolves play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night at Target Center. Mikan, you might recall, was declared the best basketball player of the first half the 20th century by the Associated Press. A life-size bronze statue of Mikan, who died in 2005, resides at the entry of Target Center. "George didn't have a bad night," Johnny Kundla, the hall of famer who coached Mikan with the Lakers, said this morning. Mikan was 6 feet 10, 245 pounds; Love is 6-10, 250. "I watch Love and he's unbelievable," Kundla said. "He's in the right spot. He just knows where the ball's coming. He's got a real knack." Kundla, by the way, turns 94 in July. He resides in northeast Minneapolis. "I feel fine, can't complain at all," he said. 灰狼队的ALL-STAR人士，正悠悠的打造着Double-Double的里程碑，然而面对 拓荒队时，他所建造的这个里程碑，却藏有深长的历史意义...................。 只是个Double-Double，既不能吃，又不能喝，也不能变帅，究竟有怎样的意义 呢?没错，这东西的确没意义，但物稀又有纪念价值的纪录，却总会让人追味。 这是个纪录，能在ALL-STAR前有50次Double-Double的纪录，到现在只有两位 球员完成这个纪录，一位是Mikan(6尺10寸245磅)，一位是Love(6尺10寸250磅).......。 明尼亚波里斯湖人队的Mikan：第一个在ALL-STAR前就达成50场Double-Double的球员 (1950年) 明尼苏达灰狼队的Kevin Love：第二个在ALL-STAR前就达成50场Double-Double的球员 (2010年) George Mikan他被美联社称呼为20世纪前最棒的球员，而他在2005年安享於世後， 纪念他的雕像正屹立在Target Center的大门前。 Johnny Kundla(来历：现居住在明尼阿波利斯的明尼阿波利斯湖人队的名人堂教练 ，现年94)：「当时Mikan在每个晚上都过得很精采，很令人激赏，而当我注视 着Love时，一样看到奇蹟不断上演，他只站在一个位置，球就溜答答跟着过去， 真的无法解释为什麽。」 --
