8 Greatest FREAKS Of NATURE In NBA History

Every NBA player who has ever made it to the league is gifted in one way or another because it takes more than an average player to make it to the NBA, but among all those great athletes there are still guys who stand head and shoulders above them. everyone else. Of course, everyone works hard to get to the NBA, but there are players who, even without much work, are genetically gifted and are simply born as strange athletes, players who are much taller, more athletic or simply stronger than the rest of the elite athletes. league which is what made these eight guys considered true monsters of

nature

and we'll see them all after giving them a couple of honorable mentions, we can't just include all the short guys who could jump through the ceiling like spud Webb and Mugsy Bogues and we can't include all the giants with guys like Manute Bol and Yao Ming.

I mean, all of those guys were definitely

freaks

of

nature

, but the sugar guys were mainly known for their crazy verticals and the taller guys were known for being living giants, but these next eight guys were known for being extremely athletically gifted in every sense of the word, so with that being said, let's get into it with number eight, Nate Robinson. I've always thought of Nate Robinson as the smaller version of LeBron James. The guy is 5-foot-9 with a 43 and a half inch vertical that allows him to make crazy dunks like this and block guys like Yao Ming and LeBron James and Nate even said that he first dunked when he was 13 years old. .

I don't know how true that is because if he's only five-foot-nine now when he was 13, he was probably around five three or five four and would have needed like a 40-inch vertical, but either way, what he did in the NBA . was still extremely impressive and for his size he has always been extremely strong, fast and athletic and was even a great college football player to the point where many people think he could have easily had a great career in the NFL and even advanced a COPI years ago when he tried out for the Seahawks. The man is the league's only three-time dunk champion and made it to the league of giants simply by being a 5-foot-9 freak of nature No. 7, Dwight Howard, even if Dwight Howard's true potential was squandered by a risky bet;

It still cannot be denied that he was a freak of nature; He's 6-foot-11 and weighs about 270 pounds, which is about average or a little shorter than most centers in NBA

history

, but he has a larger build, so he weighs about 20 at 30 pounds more than the average center, so his size alone gives Dwight a slight advantage, but then you combine that with the fact that the guy has or had a 40-inch vertical and that's what makes him stand out to put that. perspective that is the same vertical leap as Derrick Rose, a man built like Dwight Howard shouldn't be able to do things like this and this, but the fact that he could is what lands him on this list now, how he decided to actually use o No. using all these god given abilities is a discussion for another video number 6 Yanis and 10 takubo if we are making a video about the biggest monsters in nature we have to include the man called the greek monster that most of us know is a 6 11 foot tall small forward, the same height as Dwight Howard and most other centers in the NBA today, but the man moves like a guard and is only 23 years old and since debuting in the league has already gained 30 pounds of muscle so he is not going to turn out to be a Kevin Durant when he is in his prime, it will be terrifying to see what he actually turns out to be and he is without a doubt one of the most athletic players in the league because with his long arms combined with his 40-inch vertical at his highest jump, he can place his hand 26 inches above the rim on a dunk or block attempt.

I mean, he doesn't even need that crazy vertical because the guy can hang off the rim and touch the ground at the same time. look at the size of those hands, we could have an entire spot on this list dedicated to Yanis, his hands we used to think Kawhi Leonard has the biggest hands in the league, but look at this, from thumb to pinky, he measures 12 inches across total. No. 5 ruler Kevin Durant, you might look at KD and think he's a freak of nature in a bad way because he's so skinny, but use that and the fact that he's 6-foot-11 to his advantage at his Draft Combine, he was the only player who failed to bench 185 pounds and has the shortest vertical on this list at 33 inches, but uses his height and skill to make up for it.

Durant moves and handles the ball like a guard, he is an elite shooter, a great defender and one of the best scorers in NBA

history

because he can shoot directly over most players in the league. The man seems thin but in reality he weighs more than Yanis and the same as Carmelo Anthony. He used to be listed in six nines until this photo appeared. of him sitting next to 611 DeMarcus Cousins ​​and they were the same height so Kevin Durant was taller than the NBA sinners with this skill set making him one of the most unique players in NBA history, number four Magic Johnson, we all know if Magic Johnson has the most dominant point guard of all time because he was 6 foot 9 inches, it's not like he was a small forward who just played point guard to get an advantage like Yanis tried to do a few years ago. couple of seasons or even like Ben Simmons because the point guard, which was Magic's true position at his size, was able to do things with the ball in his hand that no one else his size had ever been able to do, the fact that he was almost a foot taller than everyone else who played his position and he moved.

As good as a 6-foot guard is part of what made him so great and created the idea of ​​the Showtime Lakers and the fact that he could really play every position is what makes him a true freak number three that have been talked about. For his entire career, LeBron was a 68, 260-pound small forward who has the strength of MBA Sinners just as athletic and can run almost as fast as anyone in the league. He was rumored to have a 4-4 40-yard dash in high school. 40 inches vertical into a guard's skill set that has helped him do things like this and this and Magic Johnson.

Realistically, he has the ability to play any position he wants and dominate. We've seen guys throughout history with his size, speed, athleticism. vertical jump or strength, but we have never seen someone with all those things, of course, he has worked hard to get where he is today, but he was born with a lot of things that make him a freak of nature, so he has been a dominant. He has been a basketball player almost all his life, something that LeBron James Jr. has already been doing. who stands 13.5 feet ten inches and just threw down his first dunk number two Shaq, there is no doubt that there will never be another basketball player like Shaquille O'Neal, who stood seven foot one and weighed over 300 pounds on his career as a player.

Anything is possible, but there will most likely never be a guy as big and explosive as Shaq and, as I thought, since he was in his prime, he was big enough to make some of the best players in the league look like kids. small to intimidate all the other centers. On offense, so much so that the NBA changed the rules to allow zone defenses so teams would even have a chance to defend Shaq, and on the other hand, there have been very few players who have ever smashed a scoreboard. NBA, but no one has done it. destroy an NBA goal like Shaq did, even though he weighed almost 300 pounds, had a vertical of around 38 inches and could touch up to 12 feet, five inches from a standing position.

Number one Wilt Chamberlain, we all know that Wilt is the biggest natural monster of his time because he played in the league in the 60's and 70's, but there are many stories that show that he would still be the biggest and most athletic player that exists today in day and probably will be sometime, and if they don't it simply has to do with the fact that he was seven feet tall and weighed 275 pounds, we don't have much to base his actual ability on because most of us never saw him play, but There are clips like this where he almost touches the top of the board in the game that may support the fact that people claim that Wilt Chamberlain had a 48 inch vertical and could grab a quarter off the top of a board ;

Then there were other stories about his strength, like the time he dislocated a man's shoulder while blocking a dunk attempt so hard or when he broke another player's toe when he dunked the ball so hard it hit his foot. when he fell and broke his toe, even Arnold Schwarzenegger said that Wilt Chamberlain used to be able to pick him up with one arm. Besides that, Chamberlain was always the fastest player on board, if he received the ball on a fast break, no one in the league would go to reach it and these are not even half of the stories there are about his madness. the speed jump and his strength, but I think these few stories are enough to realize that Wilt is the

greatest

freak of nature and standards back then, today or any era he would have played in, so they definitely come his thoughts on If you agree that Wilt deserves the spot as the NBA's biggest freak of nature or if you think one of these other guys deserves it more, don't forget to like, subscribe and I'll see you in the next video .
