字母哥與那些字母到底有什麼關係

If you go on Giannis Antetokounmpo's BAsketball reference page, you'll see that one of his listed nicknames is "The Alphabet," due to the lengthy nature of his birth name.

如果你去瀏覽揚尼斯·阿德託昆博的籃球參考頁面，就會看到他的一個暱稱是“字母哥”，這顯然是來源於他的原名的長度。

That got me thinking. Does Giannis have more unique letters in his name than any other current NBA player? Does he represent more of the alphabet more than anyone else?

這讓我陷入沉思：比起其他現役NBA球員，揚尼斯的名字有更多不同的字母嗎？他比其他任何球員更能代表字母表？

By using graduate-level math techniques, we can see Giannis has 12 different letters in his name. No small feat !

利用“研究生水平”的數學技巧，我們可以看到GIANNIS有以他的名字命名的12個不同的字母。不小的功績！

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. GIAN_S __TE_OK_U_MP. Gians Teokump indeed.

“GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO”。“GIAN_S __TE_OK_U_MP”。確實是Gians Teokump這12個字母。

Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis, among others, both clocked in at 11. Kawhi Leonard also reached 11 with incredible efficiency, only having one duplicate letter.

卡爾·安東尼·唐斯和克里斯塔普斯·波爾津吉斯，等等，都定格在11。科懷·倫納德以驚人的效率也達到了11，只有一個重複的字母。

12 letters was also reached by numerous players. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has more letters in his name than Giannis, which make his achievement less impressive.

許多球員也達到了12個字母。朗戴·霍利斯·傑弗森比揚尼斯的名字擁有更多的字母，這比他的成就更加令人印象深刻。

Juancho Hernangomez, Wilson Chandler, and Joffrey Lauvergne all had more efficient 12s than Giannis, but none were more impressive than Semaj Christon, who like Kawhi before him, only repeats one letter.

比起揚尼斯，胡安·埃爾南戈麥斯，威爾森·錢德勒以及若弗雷·洛維爾涅都擁有更加有效率的12字。但是沒有比塞馬傑·克里斯頓更令人印象深刻的了，就像之前的卡哇伊，只重複了一個字母。

13 unique letters is where we start to reach uncharted territory. Only two players can claim to have exactly 13: Dorian Finney-Smith and Timothe Luwawu-Carbarro. Finney-Smith has fewer letters in his name, so he win this chal.

到了13個不同的字母，我們開始進入未知領域了。只有兩名運動員可以聲稱有13個字母：多裏安·芬尼·史密斯和蒂莫泰·盧瓦烏·卡巴羅。芬尼·史密斯名字中字母更少，所以他贏得了這次挑戰。
