Chapter 336: The Upper Edge of the Rebound (3)
Nate Robinson Height: 175 cm Vertical Jump: 112 cm Running Touch Height: 355 cm
He is also a dunk king under six feet, but Nate's performance must be more memorable, not only because he flew over Webb's head to surprise you, but more importantly, his never-say-die spirit, which I believe everyone must have been moved.
Vince Carter Height: 198 cm Vertical Jump: 111 cm Running Height: 395 cm or more (395 cm is the height of the eaves of the rebound)
Carter's bounce may not be the best, but his dunking technique is definitely the best. He can easily perform ultra-difficult movements such as turning 360-degree windmills and changing hands under his crotch, and he is very stretched. The most amazing thing is probably his amazing dunk at the 2000 Sydney Olympics (pictured), you know, this French center forward Wes is 218 cm!
Dwight Howard Height: 211 cm Vertical Jump: 105 cm Running Height: 395 cm or more
No one can deny the ability of Howard, the 2004 champion show, who can easily jump from the spot and kiss the basket (pictured), you know, in the history of the league, he is the only person who is more than 7 feet tall and can jump more than 40 inches vertically! This astonishing physicality has undoubtedly made him a formidable ruler under the basket, just look at his rebounding stats this year: 12.4, does that look like a sophomore did it?
Allen Iverson Height: 183 cm Vertical Jump: 103 cm Running Touch Height: 360 cm
"Answer" dunks may not be common, maybe he was trying to protect his fragile ankle, after all, he is 30 years old, but his 40.5-inch vertical bounce definitely gives him a place here.
Kobe Bryant Height: 201 cm Vertical Jump: 102 cm Running Height: 385 cm
This year's Kobe Bryant can be said to have been out of the limelight, rewriting all the scoring records of Lakers legend superstar Baylor! I still remember that in the 97 slam dunk contest, Kobe Bryant, who was only 18 years old, won the championship with a slam dunk under the crotch and changed hands.
Jason Richardson Height: 198 cm Vertical bounce: 100 cm Running touch height: 380 cm
198 cm is definitely a standard figure for a dunk, Jason won the dunk championship in 02,03, and almost completed a three-in-a-row in 04. In '02, his 180-degree back buckle with a cricket kick in the air made everyone think that the Earth's gravity was gone (pictured).
Josh Smith Height: 206 cm Vertical bounce: 98 cm Running touch height: 390 cm
His idol is Wilkins, the "essence of human cinema", and Smith also changed into Wilkins' suit in 05 and cloned his action of winning the championship that year. But his performance in '06 was a big disappointment, maybe because of the referee.
Tracy McGrady Height: 203 cm Vertical Jump: 96 cm Running Touch Height: 385 cm
Eighty percent of Yao Ming lovers love Maddie, not only for his superb ball skills, but also for his charming eyes that never seem to wake up. I believe that the performance of 35 seconds and 13 minutes made everyone crazy, yes, even God was moved to tears.
[Little Overlord - Stoudemire & Hacker - Marion]
When they're both playing for the Suns, it's probably the most physical forward combination in league history. In the face of the same question as reporters, Xiao Si, who has always been a big mouth, seems very modest, but Marion is very dishonest.
"I've never touched the top edge of a rebound, I've never seen anyone touch it, I'm only three or four inches away from there. If you're looking for a player who can do that, I think you'd better ask LeBron James. Although the physical test data showed that Xiao Si was more than a few centimeters away from the top edge of the rebound, at least he did not answer in the tone of "Lao Tzu did it back then". Marion's performance was not very good, and a reporter once asked the Suns about the "hacker", and the answer was "Marion used to be able to do it". This kind of answer is really not credible.
[Warcraft - Dwight Howard]
Among active players, Dwight Howard is widely regarded as the most likely person to make history. Kissing the basket with his mouth during the training session, and sticking his head to the rebound 3.76 meters above the ground while violently dunking in the dunk contest (teammate Nelson's measurement may have been a little too much)...... These dazzling performances make people have to guess that the upper edge of the rebound is not a forbidden place for "Warcraft".
ESPN reporter Henry Albert explored the answer to this question during the 2007 U.S. men's basketball camp.
"Outsiders say I can touch the top edge of the rebound, and I tried, but it didn't work. I can really jump, but the top edge of the rebound is really too high. Dwight is probably the only person in this world who can do this, and you should go to him. "This is a recommendation from James.
"I think Dwight can touch the top edge of the rebound, and I asked him in practice, and Dwight said he can do it, and of course I haven't seen it with my own eyes," Paul said in a more affirmative tone than James, saying that he would also like to see how high Howard can jump.
Howard himself, on the other hand, admitted: "I can do it (with a coin on the top rim of the rebound)." I've never heard of anyone else who can do this, but I can jump that high. I did this for the first time when I was 17 years old and in high school. But now I can only touch the top edge of the rebound, and if you put an item on it, I can't guarantee that I'll get it safely. ”
But when Albert asked Howard to perform live, he was politely refused on the grounds that "the timing was not right", but "Warcraft" promised to find time to prove that he was not bragging, but asked the reporter to communicate with the Magic team and ask for the team's consent. Albert contacted the Magic a week later, and the reply was that there was no need to go to Orlando for a field trip, because the team had a lot of video materials that showed Howard's amazing jumps, including extreme touches, and they could just send it in.
Albert did get his hands on a lot of the video, but to his disappointment, there wasn't a single shot showing that Howard had actually touched the top edge of the rebound, and he was just close. So, Albert, who is more serious, contacted the staff of the Magic team and asked if it was possible to arrange a live performance for reporters to see. But the answer was no. The attitude on the team's side is that no matter what Howard has promised before, such attempts will not be allowed to prevent unnecessary injuries. Despite Albert's arguments: "Jumping as hard as you can is much less likely to get injured than in situations like a crash in an NBA game." "I've never heard of anyone being seriously injured because of a stress-free jump in training." But the Magic just won't let go.
Albert, who did not give up, contacted Howard's agent Goodwin and said that as long as Howard agreed, he was willing to go to Orlando out of his own pocket to witness history. Goodwin first said that this was a good idea and would discuss it with "Warcraft". But then Goodwin's staff informed Albert that the test was too much of a waste of time, so forget it. Albert said that all he needed was Howard to perform before and after training, and it was expected to be only 10 seconds. But two weeks later, he received a response he didn't want to hear: "Howard can do this, but he can't do this kind of thing all the time." ”
After a few tosses, Albert finally gave up. He is inclined to think that Howard can't actually reach the top edge of the rebound, and the rhetoric of the Magic team and his agent is covering him. While you have to admit that his kissing the basket and sticking a sticker to the rebound are absolutely top-notch performances, that doesn't mean he has a record that surpasses his predecessors. Even if he doesn't dunk and concentrate on sticking the sticker, the gap of the last ten centimeters is not so easy to make up. The pleas of his teammates on the national team, the pleas of reporters, the excuses of the Magic, the excuses of his agents, and the fact that those in history who said they could touch them have never been confirmed, and it is normal for Howard to be classified as exaggerating.
Of course, this doesn't mean that "Warcraft" is a bombastic person, and when you're just inches away from the top edge of the rebound, it's natural to think that you can do it, but it's just not at its peak this time. As everyone knows, it is such a little distance that has stumped how many famous heroes!
