In the first round of the playoffs Warriors VS Clippers, we can see Kevin Durant constantly using his height and wingspan advantage to easily score. Clippers coach Doug Rivers from the back-front line and inside line tried to limit Durant but could not achieve good results. Facing a player who was shorter than himself, Durant directly pulled out a jump shot, and his height and wingspan allowed him to score easily and completely. Facing a player whose height and body were not much different from his own. Durant can use his steps and explosive power to completely break through the attack basket. Durant's arms are long enough to easily cause damage. In the key G6 game, Durant made 15 of 26, 6 of 14 of 3-pointers, 14 of 15 free throws, scored 50 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Scoring is like taking a puppet. Height and wingspan can also allow Durant to help chase dreams and protect the rebounds. This is the importance of height and wingspan. So let's discuss the five players with the best wingspans in each position in the active league this time. The position is strictly analyzed according to point guard, segment guard, small forward, power forward, and center.
point guard - Rajon Rondo
Rondo is the player with the longest arm span among the current point guards. He is 1.85 meters tall, weighs 84 kg, and has an arm span of 2.06 meters. His arm span is 21 cm more than his height. This is an extremely terrifying existence. Generally speaking, players at the NBA level have an arm span of 1 more than their height. Even if 2-13 cm is already outstanding, like LeBron James , 2.03 meters tall and 2.13 meters wingspan is not outstanding in the NBA. Beverly, the point guard of the Clippers, is 1.85 meters tall and 1.99 meters wingspan is already a good wingspan length, but Rondo's wingspan reaches 2.06 meters, which is really a knee-length. Rondo's rebounding ability is outstanding. At the peak, the top defensive league is relying on his outstanding long arms.
Scoreback - Jaylen Brown
There are very few players in the active league who have outstanding arm-showing position in the shooting guard position. There are no players who are as tall as Jordan and have an arm-span of 2.18 meters, like the league's first point guard James Harden is 1. 96 meters, with a wingspan of 2.1 meters. The Jazz's Donovan Mitchell has a good height to wingspan. He is only 1.91 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.08 meters, but it is not long in the NBA. The Celtics' Jaylen Brown has the longest arm span at the point guard position. Although he is a forward guard, he has played for two seasons in Green Kai. He is 2.01 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.13 meters. In active service, Jaylen Brown's longest arm span is indeed a bit eye-catching.
Small Forward: Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant's height is a mystery. His official height is 2.08 meters, but many media say that he has 2.11 meters, or even more than 2.11 meters. However, Durant's wingspan is not a mystery. Durant's wingspan is officially 2.28 meters. Assuming Durant's height is really 2.08 meters, then his wingspan is 2.28 meters, which is considered an elite-level wingspan. However, even if he is 2.11 meters and wingspan is 2.28 meters, it is outstanding. Cousins is 2.11 meters tall and wingspan is 2.28 meters. It's a pity that Leonard is because he is the player with the most terrifying height to wingspan ratio in the small forward position. He is 2.01 meters tall and has an arm span of about 2.22 meters. This is quite terrible. This is the key to his two-time DPOY.
Power Forward: Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis still plays most power forwards. Randle plays center with Mirotic and Ocafordo this season, and Thomas still plays more power forwards. Anthony Davis is 2.08 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.33 meters, but there are reports that Anthony Davis' height has grown to about 2.1 meters or even higher, but even so Anthony Davis's long arm is amazing. He has won three block kings. His defense range is so large. He plays in the NBA and is just like Yi Jianlian in the basket. His defensive area is super large and his movement speed is also his advantage. If Davis hadn't occupied the power forward position, Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2.28-meter arm-span was the number one power forward.
Center: Mohamed Bamba
Rudy Gobert is 2.16 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.35 meters, which is already very impressive. The Hornets center is 2.06 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.35 meters. This ratio is even more terrifying. There is a saying that Philadelphia center Boban Mayanovic's arm span is at least 2.35 meters+. It's a pity that he has not participated in the joint trial. I don't know how long his arm span is. However, the second long arm in the history of joint trial training is Bamba of the Magic. He is 2.13 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.39 meters. He is currently the first arm span in the league. It's a pity that he has not performed as much as he deserves in the league.
These five people have a close look and can tell who is the most terrifying Rondo 1.85 meters, with a wingspan of 2.06 meters, a difference of 21 cm; Brown is 2.01 meters, with a wingspan of 2.13 meters, a difference of 12 cm; Durant is 2.08 meters, with a wingspan of 2.28 meters, a difference of 20 cm; Davis is 2.08 meters, with a wingspan of 2.33 meters, a difference of 25 cm; Bamba is 2.13 meters, with a wingspan of 2.39 meters, a difference of 26 cm, which means Bamba has the largest height and wingspan ratio, and he is really a well-deserved wingspan madman.
