Biggest freaks of nature in NBA history

[highwhey]

Amare Stoudemire...same vertical as Dwight. One of the fastest big man, very agile, incredible strength...etc. Oh and he's just 1" shorter than Dwight.

D-Howard A big man winning the slam dunk contest. Kissing the rim. The athletic ability of David Robinson, scoring ability of an Olajuwan, strength of a karl malone. Watch out. This kid is going to own the center position in years to come.

Howard has nowhere near the scoring ability of Hakeem

Chris Bosh looks like a dinosaur. If that counts for anything....

David Robinson was a hell of an athlete. The Air Force Academy gives physical tests, and he finished first in his class at gymnastics at 6'7" as a freshman. His coach once said the Spurs could not have practice if Robinson walked from Foul line to Foul line on his hands, and he did it with ease.

Dominique Wilkins has to be up there, ahead of Vince for sure. He had the leaping ability, quickness, but his power was sick. He would not absorb body contact, he would deliver beatings while dunking, the defender would be on the ground in pain afterwards, lol.


Also, what about Spud Webb?

[Niquesports]

Yeah and of course there is the famous series winning shot vs the Lakers in 86'. Kind of like a 7'4" Kevin Garnett.

Threads that say "greatest in history" yet only mention players of this era puzzle me. When ever stats are talked about younger people wanna say they were inflated back then. Well people in general have gotten bigger and stronger than in the 60's so todays players sizes are inflated.

Elgin Baylor was just as much a freak as Lebron is today. No one had ever seen a guy that big that strong and the ability to play over the rim . His hang time was amazing.Elgin is considered the Godfather of vertical basketball.

Connie Hawkins was a much better all around athlete than KG

George Milkan the father of big athletic men.

Players today have every advantage to improve their athleticism all the way to the shoes. But in these players era they were equally as freakish.

So next time people wanna post any thing as Greatest in history make sure you study the history.

Can you imagine if Shaq was not lazy and he had himself in great shape every year, he was able to shoot 75% from the line with a consistent 15-20 foot jumpshot?

[sh0wtime]

Pretty much how i would rank em but i would exchange KG with Michael Jordan, has there ever been a more athletic guy at his size?

Sam Cassel.

75% from the line might've made him the undisputed best player ever, IMO, but a 15-20 foot jumper would not make him more effective because it's a lower percentage shot than his game 10 feet and in and also does less as far as demoralizing teams and wearing them down physically.

Thanks Shaq ,why do this era of basketball "fans" want a big man of Shaq's size 20 feet from the basket shooting ? IF I was a coach and a team ran plays for Shaq 15-20 ft from the bakset I would let him shoot that shot every time.
