Chapter 349: O'Neal's Dunk
TOP5: Tyson Chandler 1658 times... Tyson Chandler is also a famous jumping man, why does he dunk so much? Just look at his teammates, Paul during the Hornets and Kidd during the Mavericks, these are all all-time passing masters, and it's all over with them.
Tyson Cleotis Chandler grew up with his mother, but unlike many NBA stars who grew up in single-parent families, Chandler's surname does not come from his mother, but from his father, Frank Chandler. Frank basically never took care of little Chandler, but he started contacting his son when he was in middle school, trying to make up for his mistake of leaving mother and son early. Frank Chandler is 6'9 (about 2.08 meters) tall, and Tyson's athletic body is inherited from his father.
As a child, Chandler lived with his mother, stepfather, and grandparents, and his mother and stepfather had three more children. Chandler's closest elder was his grandfather, Cleotis Sredgill (his middle name is derived from his grandfather), and he was also a well-behaved and sensible child, who often helped his grandfather with the farm, feeding the animals and driving a tractor to plow the fields. Chandler's basketball initiation also came from his grandfather, and his first time playing basketball was under the basket that his grandfather made for him, which was actually an iron hoop tied to a tree.
Chandler grew to 6 feet (about 1.83 meters) when he was 9 years old, and he had grown to 6 feet 4 (about 1.93 meters) by the time he was 11 years old. As a child, Chandler's clothes didn't fit well, and his shoes often became holes because his feet grew too quickly, so he was often verbally ridiculed by his classmates. On Halloween, he and his children went to someone's house to ask for candy, but no one gave it to him because he didn't look like a child.
Chandler was a freshman at Domingo High School in California, where the school's number one star was senior Tyshawn Prince, who had led the team to the state finals the previous year. But after Chandler entered the school, he helped Domingo High School win the state championship three years in a row from his sophomore to senior years, and his dominance was by no means comparable to Prince's, and DeRozan and Jennings, two California kids, were his fans at that time. In his junior season, Chandler averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks per game, and in his senior season, he moved to 26 points, 15 rebounds and eight blocks
When Chandler graduated from high school, he mingled with two basketball players, who were also Californians, and they became very good friends. The two men are Earl Watson (recently retired Suns coach) and Baron Davis, both of whom played for UCLA. And in order to recruit Chandler to play for UCLA, they played with the little guy every day during the holidays, singled out together, and invited him to McDonald's and In-N-Out (also a fast food brand) after the game. Unable to dribble, Chandler loses every time. But in 2001, Chandler finally gave up the invitation of UCLA and other prestigious schools and announced that he would participate in the NBA draft.
In 2009-10 with Charlotte Bobcats, Chandler led the team to the playoffs for the first time in history along with Gerard Wallace and Stephen Jackson. They were swept 4-0 against the Orlando Magic in the first round, but Chandler did a great job of limiting Howard's play. In this series, the Monster averaged 9.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 5 blocks and 5.5 fouls per game, and left the game twice with six fouls in G3 and G4. In the second round of the playoffs and the Eastern Conference finals, Howard averaged 21.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 blocks and 3.7 fouls per game. Incidentally, the Bobcats averaged just 93.8 points per game in the 2009-10 season, which ranked first in the league
Chandler has always been labeled as a defensive gate, but what you may not know is that he is also a super offensive improvement for the team in terms of statistics. The first is the team's points per 100 possessions (ORTG) while on the floor, and Chandler led the league in regular season ORTG for four seasons (2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2014-15) and in the playoffs for two seasons (2007-08, 2010-11). In addition, Chandler ranked first in the league in true field goal percentage for three consecutive seasons in 2011-13 and currently ranks first among active players in career true field percentage (62.4 percent), followed by Stephen Curry (61.7 percent).
When Chandler was 15 years old, he was beaten by Yao Ming, who was two years older than him, and everyone had heard this story, and the two men were very serious every time they played in the NBA, and they regarded each other as fierce rivals. However, in 2008, Chandler was unable to come to China with the American Dream Team to compete with Yao Ming on his turf. That year Chandler was the first substitute for the Dream Team, and if anyone had an injury, Chandler would be on the back foot in the Dream Team. At that time, it was rumored that Howard might not be able to compete due to injury, but in the end, Chandler did not make it to Beijing.
Chandler and Kobe Bryant competed together at the London 2012 Olympics, and Chandler has a very impressive story about the Lakers legend. That day, Bryant and Chandler went to the athletes' dining room to eat together, and the two sat at the table to start eating. At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly said that he wanted to go back to the room, which confused Chandler. Bryant told him that he saw the next opponent, the Nigerian men's basketball player, also appear in the restaurant, and he was so excited that he had no intention of eating. In the next game, Bryant scored 16 points in 11 minutes, and the U.S. team also lost 156-73.
TOP4: James 1667 times... James's appearance in this list is simply cool, James entered the fourth place in the NBA's all-time dunk list as an outside player, which is enough to see how violent James's style of play is, as long as James rushes up, it may not be as good as a dunk.
TOP3: Little Jordan 1696 times... A large part of Jordan Jr.'s appearance on this list is due to his former teammate Paul, who at that time mostly ended with Jordan Jr.'s dunks. However, this is the perfect embodiment of Jordan Jr.'s physical fitness, as an outside player, he can do a lot of dunk actions that only an outside player can do.
TOP2: Howard 2589 times... Howard, who is in second place, is nearly a thousand dunks higher than Jordan Jr. in third place, which is the difference between those who have the ability to make cakes and those who simply eat cakes.
TOP1 is O'Neill's 4250 times... Look at what is called the inside shark, what is called the most dominant inside line in history, O'Neal's career dunks are far ahead of others by a level, peak O'Neal As long as he takes the ball on the inside, you may not be able to stop all the fouls, if you don't want to be the background, just walk away!
