Chapter 183 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest 4

In fact, to be honest, Luke couldn't remember too many actions at this time.

Most of the current slam dunk moves have been created by the predecessors, especially after the slam dunk contest in 2000, and basically the later slam dunk contests, except for those like Nate Robinson, basically use the moves used by their predecessors. There are only those few moves, pull rods, big windmills, gliding dunks, free throw line dunks, spinning back dunks, etc., etc., basically nothing new. And it's all rotten. Now Luke is really out of tricks.

"Hey, Luke, why can't you do it yet!" Behind Luke came Aaron's voice.

"Oh, but I can't think of anything to do with it now." Luke said, "Allen, tell me, whose dunk is the most memorable thing for you?" ”

"This ......," Aaron began to recall.

"Well, Luke, do you know the top 10 streetball legends in the world?" Aaron asked

"Hmm...... I seem to have an impression, but I don't remember exactly who it was. Luke replied.

"Okay, I'll help you remember." Aaron said as he touched his head. "There are top 10 recognized streetball legends in the world. They are all top-notch players. Let's start with the tenth. His name was Darrin Mason, a Philadelphia native nicknamed "Chewing the Chew," who was 5 feet 11 inches and had a vertical take-off height of 43 inches. Although he is a street ball player, he is not only a street player, but he passes the ball beautifully. His miraculous assist was the most memorable. Then came the ninth. Ralph Walker, a native of Chicago and nicknamed "The Rocket," was 6 feet 4 inches and had performed jumps on the field. Throw the ball on the rebound twice, pick it up and stuff it into the basket hard. The people on the pitch were all stunned and asked him to do it again. And he did it, which was probably the earliest slam dunk. In eighth place is Raft Alston (yes, the one who came to be with the Rockets, who was selected here for his true prowess), a New Yorker nicknamed "Play With Me." The nickname was given to praise him for his magical performance on the court, and many NBA stars didn't want to defend him when they returned to the bullring because they would be crushed by him. Marbury admitted that he had taught him a lesson. In the 1998 draft, he was drafted by the Bucks. Seventh place. Art Hicks, a native of Chicago, nicknamed "Big Art", is a 1.96-meter forward from St. Elizabeth High School who is particularly strong on his arms and is known for his "cool death" dunk that smashes rebounds. Sixth, Herman North, a native of New York. Nicknamed "Helicopter", it can be seen that he has a super strong jump. Someone has seen him jump more than a half of the height of the rebound. One of the things he is most famous for when he fights bulls on the street is to give Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook on the board (think how high it flies) and reward him with a big hot pot.

Fifth place. Lloyd Daniels, a native of New York, nicknamed "Pea." 6'8" guard from Queens, New York. Considered by all the street ball players to be the greatest basketball player in New York City since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He can do everything on the court, can play in all five positions, and is known as the Magic Johnson with a jump shot. But unfortunately did not participate in the draft.

The fourth, Lamar Mondan, a native of Chicago, nicknamed "Money", is a 5-foot-9" guard and a well-known marksman. Former Suns coach Angie used to wear his warm-up jacket embroidered with Lamar when he practiced, and when he practiced shooting and layups, his teammates would call him Lamar Mondan. The third Crando, a New Yorker nicknamed "The Whirlwind," is a super-scorer, scoring 135 points in a single game and averaging 70 points in a season. It is famous for its one-trick hand-changing dribble "bullring".

The second, Joe Hormond, a New Yorker nicknamed "The Destroyer," a 6-foot-4" guard, won the Locke League MVP at the age of 20. Under the defense of Dr. J, he easily scored 50 points in the half. And the first ......"

"Wait," Luke interrupted Aaron, "First can't be the legendary goat, right?" ”

"Oh, yes," said Aaron, "you know him." ”

"Who wouldn't know a goat," said Luke, "it's a whole streetball story, no, a basketball legend!" ”

EARL 'THEGOAT' MANIGAULT, HIS REAL NAME IS EARL? McNicolt, born in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, is known as "the greatest basketball player outside of the NBA" (this phrase was said by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). Someone said that if you want to really know about street basketball, then maybe you can learn a lot about "TheGoat". Born in 1944, "Goat" grew up in a single-parent family in New York, and without the control of his father from an early age, he stepped onto the streets early. There, all sorts of terrible temptations are eating away at the future of young people every day. Perhaps because he had no money in his pocket, the "goat" when he was a teenager did not get into a bad habit and was lucky to be hooked on basketball. Almost every night, on the corner of 130th Street, one can see a skinny black kid barely dunking. The court is dominated by players from high school, college, and even professional teams during the day, and children can only practice by street lights in the early morning and evening, hoping that their skills and height will grow quickly and one day they will be able to challenge the adults. Some passers-by stopped to laugh at the goat's clumsy dunk – unbeknownst to it, two heavy sandbags were tied to the goat's socks.

Joined Benjamin in 1962? When Franklin was in high school, the height of the "goat" was an inconspicuous 1.88 meters, and his bounce height actually reached an incredible 60 inches - 153 centimeters (a black hand of 1.88 meters can reach about 2.40 meters, and a goat can pick a coin off a 3.95 meter rebound, so don't question it anymore.) In the past, a well-known basketball magazine in the country wrote that the bounce of a goat was about 150cm! It was always his forte to bet on coins on the top of a rebound, until the whole block stopped daring to bet with him, and "The Goat" came up with another trick - reflexive dunks in a row, and some New Yorkers still remember the scene where "The Goat" won $60 36 times in a row.

"The Goat" was as amazing as the bouncing and was quickly selected for the high school varsity team. Abdul-Jabbar (then the name was still Lou?) Alcindo's PowerMemorial High School has had several tough battles. The two soon became buddies and teamed up to sweep the streets. Of course, all of this may have been exaggerated by people on the street, but when "The Goat" participated in the All-Star Game in high school, "The Goat" really showed his hand to the free throw line and dunk with both hands in front of everyone. At that time, the "goat" took advantage of a fast attack opportunity to dribble straight to the frontcourt, and one of the players who retreated was 1.98 meters tall, and the other was as high as 2.03 meters. "Goat" dribbled to the free throw line after the ball was collected, no one knew what the "goat" wanted to do from the free throw line, but the "goat" was flying towards the basket, the two elders at the same time hurriedly jumped up to block, only to see the "goat" flying higher and higher, and the two long men who jumped up to block had begun to land, the whole stadium was full of fans staring at the "goat", in an instant, the "goat" raised his hands above the two long people to block, and poured the ball into the basket, the fans were silent and peeped at each other, and they would come to their senses after a while. There was a deafening applause, such an amazing elasticity, airborne ability and endurance, not to mention the 60s, even the 21st century is also earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods. And this is still in the game, and when it comes to "Dr. J" Julius? Irving and "Flyer" Jordan were already on the All-Star exhibition game that no one blocked.

"The Goat" was two years older than Abdul-Jabbar, and the two faced off in the public high school league in what was arguably the hottest game in New York in 1962. Franklin High School defeated Abdul-Jabbar's high school team to win the league championship. He later said, "He's the best player of New York's size ever." The two were bright for a while, and they were also praised by New York as two new stars in the future basketball world.

Abdul-Jabbar is indeed a future star, after graduating from high school, he entered the NCAA college basketball powerhouse UCLA, and then rose to the top of the NBA, becoming one of the greatest centers in NBA history.

But "The Goat" took a completely different path than Abdul-Jabbar. (To be continued......)
