NBA’s “Humanoid BUG”! God has secretly made some small adjustments to the body proportions of these guys.

NBA history has no shortage of dunkers who can fly and escape from the ground, and it has also produced many precision-guided shooters. However, there are always some players who have an aura that "violates the laws of physics" as soon as they appear on the court. It's not that they have great skills, but that their body proportions are so outrageous, as if God stretched the template parameters of basketball players to the maximum when creating man. When guarding against them on the field, it's always like fighting monsters at a higher level. It's hard to be a thief!

The first person to appear is Shaolin lay disciple Wen Ban Yama. Standing on the court with a height of 2.24 meters is like a moving lighthouse. What's even more ruthless is the wingspan of 2.44 meters, which is a full 15 centimeters longer than Gobert, who is also a giant. The impression of Gobert dunking is even more popular! Gobert's height of 2.16 meters and standing reach height of 2.92 meters were originally the iron gate of the penalty area. He obviously took off first and touched the ball. As a result, the extra 8 centimeters on Wenban's fingertips directly pushed the ball into the basket. After the game, Gobert said, "I interfered", and his tone was full of helplessness - this was not interference, it was clearly a short arm injury. What's even more amazing is that this tall man's dribbling changes are smoother than many guards. He once staged the famous scene of dribbling behind his back + switching hands and dunking under his crotch. Sports scientists bluntly said that he "broke the limits of primate neuromuscular coordination."

When it comes to the "Achilles tendon monster", Antetokounmpo is ranked second and no one dares to be ranked first. The length of the Achilles tendon of 34.3 centimeters is an NBA historical record, which is much longer than Jordan's 28.3 centimeters. This also allows his stride length to reach 2.85 meters. What is the concept? On the same level as Bolt. The most intuitive thing to watch on the spot is when he is on a fast break. He takes just one step from the three-point line to the basket. As soon as the opponent returns to defend, he has already dunked in the air. The "death block" in the 2021 finals is more illustrative of the problem. The lateral movement speed soared to 9.5 meters/second, which is faster than the cornering speed of many sprinters. However, this talent also comes at a price. The long Achilles tendon makes his landing unstable. He has sprained his ankle many times in his career. He has to use an ice bucket to apply to his knee after every game. He himself said that "every time he takes off, it is like hitting the wall first and then making a layup." But even so, this body still makes him one of the most unpredictable impact players in the league. After all, you can't compete with the laws of physics.

Speaking of the "double BUG" of palms and wingspan, Leonard must have a name. The height of 1.98 meters is not particularly outstanding, but the wingspan of 2.21 meters is 23 centimeters longer than the height. This ratio is unique among small forwards. What's even more exaggerated is that his palm is 54 centimeters long. It's common to hold the ball with one hand. When defending, his "death entanglement" relies on his long arms and big hands to tightly seal the opponent's ball path. When he was guarding James, he was 8 centimeters shorter, but he could always cover his opponent with his wingspan. Even James complained that he "feels like the ball will be taken away by him at any time." This ratio makes it difficult for his pull-up jumpers to be blocked. The point of release is 10 centimeters higher than that of players of the same height. Opponents will either jump too close and commit a foul, or they will take a step back to watch the goal. It is simply a nightmare for defenders.

In fact, as early as in ancient times, Chamberlain understood the "natural proportion". He is 2.16 meters tall but has a wingspan of 2.34 meters and a hand length of 29.2 centimeters. He can still crush most centers today. What's even more outrageous is his flexibility. The circumference of his calf is only 43 centimeters, which is 15% thinner than a player of the same height. This allows him to play hard in the paint and shoot jumpers like a guard. Behind the miracle of scoring 100 points in a single game in 1962 was his oxygen uptake of 4.8 liters - comparable to that of a marathon runner. In 48 minutes of playing time, others would have been exhausted, but he was able to maintain a stable state. This body is simply tailor-made for basketball.

These players have used their bodies to redefine the possibilities of basketball, but behind their talent are unimaginable sacrifices: Jordan applies ice for several hours every day to protect his Achilles tendon, Wenban can only gain 3 kilograms per year to avoid hurting his knees, and Giannis Antetokounmpo spends millions every year just to maintain his body. It is these talents + dedication that make the basketball game exciting!
