In the traditional understanding of basketball, height may be the most intuitive criterion for athletes. Even though basketball has developed into today's small ball era, height is still a very important factor of strength. In the world's top basketball arena, NBA, there are also giants, and many extremely high players have appeared in the league. As a Chinese fan, the most familiar "superior" athlete is China's proud Yao Ming. However, what many people don't know is that Yao Ming's height is not the highest in NBA history. Among the top six players in NBA history, Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall, can only be ranked sixth! The following editor will quickly take everyone to take a look!
NO.6 Yao Ming
As the pride of the Chinese, Yao Ming’s official height reaches 2.26 meters. Although his career is short, his contribution to basketball is huge. Throughout his NBA career, Dayao averaged 19 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, making him the most successful Chinese star in the NBA. He is also the first No. 1 player in history in China and even Asia. Under his influence, China has added a large number of NBA fans. Dayao has also been successfully selected into the Basketball Hall of Fame and retired his jersey at the Toyota Center. Dayao, who has now retired, still sticks to the front line of Chinese basketball development.
NO.5 Sean Bradley
Sean Bradley is also a veteran who has played for 12 years in the league. His height is 2.29 meters, a bit taller than Yao Ming. At the same time, he is also a high draft player. He was the second pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1993. It can be seen that the team's expectations for him are still quite large. It's just because of his slow speed and weak physical confrontation that his performance in the league has always been tepid. The only bright spot is his career average of 2.5 blocks per game.
NO.4 Slavkovonis
Slavkovonis, a controversial player. His height reaches 2.30 meters, but his name can be said to be not known by many people. As a second-round pick in 2003, he played only one game in the league and was cut by the team in just 3 minutes. But at the same time, many people say that he is due to some special factors, because it is impossible to be given up by the team so easily with this height. However, we have no way of knowing the specific reasons.
NO.3Tacofar
Only 24 years old this year, Farr has a height of 2.31 meters. And he is still young, maybe he may continue to grow. Although he is tall enough, Fall's technique is relatively rough and he won't get too many opportunities in the Celtics this season. His highest light moment is probably the scene where Gordon was leaped in the All-Star. But even so, this lovely big boy still got the likes of many people.
NO.2George Muresan
George Muresan, this big man from Romania reaches 2.31 meters and is also one of the famous giants in NBA history. In his peak season, he averaged 14.5 points, 9.6 boards, and 2.3 blocks per game. It can be said to be very good, and he is also the winner of the most improved player in 1995. Now that he has retired, he is also committed to the development of basketball in his country.
NO.1 Manutpol
This may be the first player to reach 2.32 meters in the recorded history of the NBA. Born in a poor area in Africa, Boll worked hard during the NBA. He won two blocks in his career and averaged 3.3 blocks per game. The most commendable thing is that Ball used almost all his savings for the development of his country's basketball. He also has a very high status in the NBA and international basketball.
