NBA is the world's top basketball event, gathering almost all the strongest basketball players on the earth. There are many talents here and there are also a gathering of stars.
Basketball, although it tests the players' speed, explosiveness and bounce, its height and wingspan is no different from the most primitive talent. There have been many people with outstanding height and wingspan in the NBA, such as our current chairman of the Basketball Association, Yao Ming . His height is close to 230cm. Unfortunately, the wingspan is too short, only 226cm. Otherwise, Yao's achievements in the NBA might be even higher.
When it comes to players with excellent height and wingspan, I believe many people will think of Leonard. His height and wingspan are as high as 221cm, and his height and wingspan are as high as 20cm. Such a terrifying wingspan allows him to make countless profits on the defensive end and can easily break the ball that many people cannot break. Leonard has a huge defense coverage, and he also has super defensive predictions and rich defensive experience. He was finally selected into the NBA Best Defensive Team 5 times and won DPOY twice ( Best Defensive Player ).
But Leonard is not the player with the largest height and wingspan in the current NBA. The Hornets' substitute center Bismarck Biyonbo is even more terrifying than him. As an inside player, Bi Yongbo is actually not tall, only 203cm, but his wingspan reaches an astonishing 229cm, which means that the height and wingspan difference are 26cm. Such a terrifying height and wingspan difference is ranked first even in NBA history.
Recently, when browsing Twitter, I also found a young player with extremely outstanding height and wingspan. He is Victor Wembanyama. This guy is from France and is only 16 years old this year, but his height has reached 218cm, his wingspan is also a terrifying 243cm, and his height and wingspan difference is 25cm. As a young player, Victor plays in the Youth League, where he averages 15.8 points, 12 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game, and has a three-point shooting percentage of 36.3%. It can be said that he has a stronger height, wingspan and frame protection ability than Gobert , and on the offensive end, he has the shooting feel like Porzingis . It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a talented player.
. Faced with such a talented player, ESPN of the United States has not let it go. According to the news, ESPN conducted a three-week survey on Victor and found that he was extremely talented and might even be the most promising star in Europe. He is tall and well-spread, and can dribble like a defender. His shooting standards are very similar to Porzingis. Because Victor has excellent talent, ESPN even believes that he is likely to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA in 2023.
However, Victor is not without his shortcomings. He is too thin and weighs only 109kg. It is hard to believe that his weight can adapt to the strength of the NBA. However, I personally don’t think there is no need to worry about this. Isn’t Antetokounmpo also very thin when he first entered the NBA? Looking at Antetokounmpo this season, it feels like there are only two people.
Looking at other countries, there are many basketball talents, sometimes I really envious. It would be great if we could have a few NBA players. In that case, we would not have suffered a crushing defeat in the World Cup, and we would not even be able to enter the Olympics in the end!
