The feeling of being imitated is a feeling of accomplishment that only founders can have, and it is the same in the NBA. Many juniors are constantly imitating the skills of their seniors. On the inside, they hope to follow Olajuwon's footsteps, and on the outside, they want to become a super scorer like Jordan. Although there are still a large number of young talents, they have also achieved outstanding achievements, and even surpassed their predecessors in some points, but they still pale in comparison. A player with such a high IQ like Kobe still can't learn all of Jordan's tricks. Even if the moves are in place, the charm is still a bit lacking. Let’s take a look at what unique skills the NBA has that cannot be copied.
Jordan: Jordan's back tilt has been imitated by countless people, and the one that looks most like him is Kobe. If you haven't seen Jordan play, you can see the shadow of Jordan in Kobe. In particular, his back is not only beautiful but also very lethal, but it is still not perfect. Jordan's fallback is to take off at the same time as his opponent. There will be a brief pause in the air, and when the opponent starts to fall, he will throw the ball. Kobe Bryant also has such an ability to stay in the air, but he is still not very good, and no one in active duty can do it.
Curry: There are too many people who are accurate in three-point shooting. Ray Allen and Korver are all amazingly accurate. But Curry is the only shooter in history who shoots so unreasonably and without any rhythm skills. His shot only takes 0.3 seconds at the fastest, and he doesn't need to adjust his rhythm at all. If he can throw it out, he will go in. His career shooting percentage of 43.5% puts him among the top shooters. If someone shoots a 3-pointer like he does, the game has either been spent or they are going to sit on the bench.
Rodman: There are many rebounders in history? Idiots? There are really many, including the current Love and Drummond. But compared with Rodman, I can only help him pick up the ball. . He only does one thing in his life, grab rebounds into his own hands. In terms of quantity, he is definitely not the one with the most, but in terms of rebound ability, he is definitely the strongest. To be able to win the rebounding title for seven consecutive years in an era when the "four major centers" were rampant, no one after him could do it. The only one who can turn rebounding into an art is Rodman.
Laimbeer: Laimbeer is really bad at playing, his shooting is not accurate, and his athletic ability is also poor. However, in this field of "dirty", he said he is first and others can only be second. Ranbir's "dirty" is to go straight to useless people. He is not afraid of a fight. He is 2.11 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. Most people don't dare to touch him. Even Jordan was psychologically affected by his "black hand". The current Green and Pachulia are at best as dirty as they were when they were rookies. If Laimbeer is released from this league, he will probably be banned for life.
James: James is the only player in the NBA who can break through in a straight line and face single defense without solution. He doesn't move in any direction and doesn't need a sense of rhythm, he just walks in a straight line. Even if the opponent predicts the position in advance, it is useless. James can rush into the penalty area with the ball and complete "2+1". If you want to copy his trick, you have to have a body like his. However, James' body is not as good as Jordan or Kobe. Is there the second player in history who is still improving at the age of 33?
O'Neal: O'Neal's favorite offensive method is dunking. It doesn't matter even if he hangs up a lot of people, it is equivalent to weight-bearing training. He has more than 4,000 dunks in his career, and he scored less than 10,000 points just for dunks, which no one can do again. With his weight of nearly 300 kilograms and his overwhelming strength, when you see him trying to dunk, it is wisest to avoid him. Otherwise, you can only lose "2+1", and you have to become a "background emperor".
Nowitzki: Nowitzki's golden rooster independence seems simple, but it is really impossible to imitate. First of all, you have to be as tall as him, and your hand must be very soft, and the key little leg-raising movements must be natural, so that the opponent cannot block you. There are still players who have used this trick after him, but it always feels awkward, and it has to be comfortable for him to use.
