In our impression, two conditions must be met to complete a dunk: height and jumping, both of which are indispensable. However, the world is so big that it is full of surprises. There are actually people who can flout one of the conditions? They can dunk without relying on jumping.
The height of the basket is 3.05 meters. How can you dunk without relying on bounce? Next, I will show you some great players who can stand and dunk while standing on tiptoes.
With his terrifying physical talent, Antetokounmpo has grown into a superstar in the league today. He has the longest and thickest Achilles tendon in history, but he wants to complete a dunk. Don't rely on this at all. He is 2.11 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.24 meters. Antetokounmpo once showed in front of reporters how easily he could grab the basket. The important thing is that he was not wearing shoes yet.
In actual combat, the camera also captured the moment after Antetokounmpo dunked with his hands still on the rim and his feet on the ground. It is incredible to complete a "standing dunk" with Antetokounmpo's height.
Whiteside, another tall and long-armed giant currently in service, has also completed the action of landing with both feet on the ground while grabbing the basket with both hands in training. Although he has not seen Whiteside perform in actual combat? Standing dunk? , but I believe that Whiteside, who has a standing height of 2.87 meters, can stand on tiptoes and dunk with one hand easily.
Compared to Antetokounmpo and Whiteside, Boban's dunk looks easier. Boban's standing reach reaches 2.92 meters, which is only half a hand lower than the basket. He has performed "standing dunks" many times in games. His feet do not need to leave the ground after dunking, and the opponents next to him are stunned! There is no need to worry about a series of problems such as sprained feet and worn knees.
Is Boban the easiest dunk player among active players? No, there is also a newcomer Taco Fall who has just entered the league. Fall is nearly 2.3 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.5 meters! As long as he lifts the basketball, the ball is already higher than the basket. If this rookie can gain a foothold in the NBA, he will definitely be able to play a different style of game.
Among the current players, the above four have only demonstrated standing dunks in front of the camera. There are also many centers with tall height and long arms who can also dunk on tiptoes, such as Gobert, who has the same standing height as Boban. , and Spider-Man Bamba, who has a wingspan of 2.39 meters and a standing reach of 2.93 meters.
In history, there are also tall people who can stand on tiptoes and dunk. For example, Manute Bol, the tallest man in NBA history, can reach the basket and dunk while standing on the ground. Not dunking just depends on whether he is willing to raise his arm.
Stageth, a streetball player from the UK, is 2.34 meters tall. In a game, Stageth faced the defense and dunked with one arm directly. The defensive player could do nothing. No!
In our country, there is also such a "standing dunk" master. He is not the 2.26-meter Yao Ming, but the once-famous giant Sun Mingming.
Sun Mingming is better than Yao Ming in both height and wingspan. In the game, he can even complete dunks while standing. His talent is terrifying!
When I saw this, I suddenly remembered that Duncan’s "big windmill in situ" was not just a wild imagination. It seems that Dadai also had a "stop button dream" back then!
