Why don t the older generation of NBA players like to dunk?

Ask if it is first, and then why. In fact, the older generation of NBA players did not dislike dunks, but as they got older, they gradually became fewer in order to protect themselves and prolong their careers.

All these dunks in the NBA, from Dr. J Irving at the beginning, to Wilkins, Jordan, Vince Carter, and then to Richardson and Nate Robinson, which one is not flying away.

Just look at the NBA's slam dunk contest, the previous NBA slam dunk contest every year was the most exciting time of the year, and the current dunk contest, whether it is the influence or the player's dunk, is a lot worse, and there are still some highlights for Lavine Gordon, but overall, the level is not as good as before.

Of course, it's the data that is most convincing. So far, the player with the most total dunks in the NBA is O'Neal, with a whopping 4,250 times, far behind the players, and the top ten players are David Robinson, Sean Kemp, Mutombo, Stoudeyer and many other retired players.

On the contrary, some young players in the league are now playing more and more healthy, such as Wiggins, if you talk about physical fitness, he is absolutely at the top level, but now the 23-year-old Wiggins is like a 32-year-old player, and he can go to the basket and never dunk. This is also because the NBA offense is fast-paced and injuries are becoming more and more frequent, so it is understandable to protect yourself in this way.

In conclusion, it's not that the older generation of NBA players doesn't like dunks. But with the change of pace, the NBA is indeed getting better and better now.

The reason why the older generation of NBA players don't like dunks is simple, and that is to protect their bodies. How fierce Carter, who was a half-human and half-god, shocked the world at the death button at the Olympics. But what about now?

Can there be such a powerful dunk? Obviously not. The deterioration of his body functions has made it impossible for Carter to break through the sky again and show his edge.

Not only Carter, many veteran players were more energetic and energetic when they were young, but they can still dunk without dunking. When Peter Pan Kobe Bryant first entered the league, his physical fitness was good. Basically break through and go straight to a violent buckle.

But after wearing the number 24, the skills of back-to-back singles have increased significantly. The skill of dunking is used much less frequently than during the No. 8 period. So we can see that this group of older generation NBA players is really unable to dunk frequently because of the decline in physical fitness.

Not only the current older generation of players, but also many new-generation NBA players don't like to dunk, just take James, who is still in his playing years. Known as the regular season health Zhan, the playoffs full Zhan, and the finals desperate Zhan are currently being talked about. You can see how strong the players are protecting themselves now.

This has to be said to be due to the intensity of competition in the league now, and many players try to dunk as much as possible to protect their bodies in order to continue their careers.

All in all, the old players are not active in dunking due to the decline in physical fitness, while the new players are reducing the frequency of dunks in order to protect their bodies, after all, there is a lot of money in their careers for one more year.

Either way, professional footballers want to prolong their careers as long as possible, but what are some of the things that will prevent them from achieving that goal? In addition to smoking, drinking, clubbing, that's a dunk. The older generation of players, there will be living examples around them that can be taken as a warning, the madman who dunked more than a dozen times a game and later struggled to make a layup, and the player who is known as a flying man, is not there a time to recuperate from injuries with bandages?

If you look at the recent example, Carter, who has been flying in the sky at his peak, can he still dunk when he is old now? His unscrupulousness in exchange for constant injuries continues.

If you know how to do the math, you're willing to be able to play at the top of the decade and take $100 million, and then the rest of the decade will either retire or only get $10 million. Or are you willing to play at the peak of fifteen years, get 100 million dollars, and the remaining five years will either retire or get 20 million? This question is in front of all the players with the best physical fitness, who doesn't yearn for the sky at the best age?

But God has a price, it may cut your career in half, and one injury after another awaits you.

What's more, in the days of the older generation of players, there was no way to compare the medical conditions with today. The development of medical technology is definitely faster than the development of the player's training system, and the disease that was not seen well twenty years ago may be a matter of surgery today, and a broken arm and leg can still be alive and kicking, like a pickled pepper, can you think that he will come out more violently after breaking his leg?

There are other risks associated with dunking, and in the era of the inside steel behemoth, you want to break through the muscle forest and get a chance to dunk, which may mean that you will be swept out of the air by a powerful hand after the dunk. Don't doubt it, the inside line of that era was so terrifying, for the sake of your own health and safety, the ban here is not a joke.

Most European players don't particularly like dunks, in their words, dunks are physically exhausting and not suitable for the next game, while American players, because of cultural habits, are more flamboyant, and they are definitely not blue when they can dunk

When they were young, they were so energetic and dunked casually, but when they played a lot of games and had a lot of physical damage, they slowly didn't like to dunk.

This has a lot to do with the rules of the NBA, there was no 3-second violation before, the big center stood under the basket, and the small one was not easy to dunk, but now the rules have changed, the center has to go out to defend the outside line, and the small one has more room to play.

In ancient times, there was a time when it seemed forbidden to dunk! Come to think of it, it's obviously two points!

When you are older, your physical condition is definitely not as good as when you were young, you can score two points on a layup, why do you want to dunk a dunk.

Founded in 1995, the CBA league has been developing for 26 years, and the number of occurrences has improved greatly in terms of the technical completion method of "slam dunk"! But compared to the NBA, the gap is still huge.

In the early days of the CBA League, in order to encourage the emergence of dunks, it used to simply set up technical statistics and awards for dunks. This also proves that there are indeed fewer dunks in the CBA league.

As the player closest to the basket on the basketball court, the center is theoretically the easiest to attack with a dunk. For example, Tao Hanlin and Han Dejun in the CBA league often use dunks to complete the offense. But overall, the number of dunks by centers in the CBA is really rare.

The main reason is that there is a large gap between physical talent and NBA centers. The main points are bouncing and core strength.

The rules of the NBA league and the CBA league are not the same, the CBA league uses FIBA rules, and there is no 3-second rule for defense, so it is too difficult for the defensive center to poke the basket, and the offensive player to dunk by pushing the defender away!

This somewhat limits the number of times an offensive player finishes the basket with a dunk. It must be emphasized that this is not the main reason for the low number of dunks.

You might as well think about the scene of the U.S. team, which is composed of NBA star players, competing in the Olympics, and the U.S. team still has a lot of dunks.

The character of our Oriental players is relatively reserved and introverted, and the performance of the players on the court is not so ostentatious, and they are more considerate of the other party's feelings when doing things. Take our field court as an example, some balls that can be blocked are not blocked.

At the same time, because our players are not so outstanding in terms of physical talent, in order to avoid injuries, coaches do not encourage Zhizhou players to dunk on the court to finish the basket. Finish.

Slam dunk is the dream of many basketball lovers, and many people can only realize the dream of dunking in the children's basket. But for NBA players, it's really not too easy to dunk, they have excellent arm span, good jumping, and can dunk with an easy jump. But there is a stronger existence, that is, "standing dunks", they are really standing dunks, and they can do it with their feet at most.

Without absolute height and reach, it simply can't be done.

Manute. Bol is 2.31 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.59 meters, and you can see how wide his defensive coverage is under the basket. His blocks are quite good, and he has averaged 5 blocks per game in a single season.

His bounce is matchbox height, but with his height and reach, he can stand on the buckle.

Murraysan also has 2.31m, but his arm span is not as good as Bol's, but he also looks like 2.4m. Muresan has only played 6 seasons in the NBA, and none of them are outstanding for such a tall stature, rebounds, blocks, and scoring. However, for him, the buckle can still be completed, after all, the height is here.

Boban is 2.21 meters tall, and not only does he have absolute elevation, but he is also the heaviest star in the NBA. Originally, his figure should be a low-post big killer, but because of the small-ball play, he could only play as a substitute. In the era of positional warfare, Boban's data will not be bad.

He has a pair of big hands and an excellent arm span, and he once showed the fans the unique ability of the standing buckle in the game.

The last one was Farr, who was a newcomer to the Celts. Although he only plays the role of soy sauce, because he is 2.29 meters tall, fans expect him to play every game. He's still very popular, and once he gets into garbage time, Farr will have a chance to play.

He couldn't play dominant, or because he was slow, he was a colander on the defensive end. The offense is also not good, so it is a water cooler for the team. Before he entered the NBA, he completed the standing dunk, and it is a pity that such a good talent was not played!

As for the alphabet brother who was blown up by everyone, he is indeed talented, with an excellent arm span, and the length of the Achilles tendon is the first in history. A word of disagreement is a buckle, athletic ability**. However, Brother Alphabet dunked, he had to jump, and he couldn't really stand dunk.

As for this **, it was really taken after jumping off and landing.

Bol, George Muresan, Bynum, Tucker Fore, Antetokounmpo and others can also dunk while standing.

Such as Bynum, Antetokounmpo, Fore, Muressan, Bol, etc., they are tall and have long arms.

There are many tall players in the NBA who can dunk without jumping, such as Boban Marjanovic and Porzingis of the Mavericks, and Antetokounmpo of the Bucks.

"Giant" Bol was 2.3 meters tall and could dunk easily, and George Muressan, who was 2.31 meters tall, could also easily stand on the ground and dunk.

This is due to the difference in basketball culture, and one-handed dunks are prone to injury. CBA coaches are generally not allowed to do this.

Because of the problem of physical fitness, you can do it with enough physical fitness, and in China, it is because you don't want to lose it, so you can do it.

Those who can play in the NBA are players with outstanding physical talents, and one-handed dunks are also easier for them, and the intensity of confrontation between CBA and NBA is different, and the level of training is also different, and few one-handed dunks are also a difference in physical fitness. (Personal opinion).

Carter flew directly over the player who was a head taller than him during the Olympics, completing a shocking moment, which is still circulating on major online platforms.

Jordan, Nate Robinson. Jordan's signature free-throw line dunk was unparalleled. Nate Robinson is 1.75 meters tall and once rode O'Neal in training camp.

Starks is able to block Jordan and Pippen, and can connect the two best players in the league for outside defense, one of whom is Jordan, the god of basketball, which is enough to make Starks proud for a lifetime.
