What is so impressive is that he has maintained those percentage despite the heavy volume of shots he takes.

Charles Barkley has been quoted saying McHale was the best player he ever played against.
He is a four-time All-Defensive team member, and he led the league in steals in 2009-10. Howard has used that wingspan to become an elite rebounder and shot blocker.
I don’t get it. What does stand out is Maxiell’s stature.
When you factor in the rest of his all around game, it is no surprise he is one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players.Alonzo Mourning had a decorated NBA career as a seven-time all-star who had two Defensive Player of the Year awards and one NBA title.
Pippen could pass like a point guard, rebound like a power forward, and score like a shooting guard.
Wingspan data is something that has only been recorded precisely over the last couple of decades. A recent promotional poster out of New Orleans shows Davis with a 7’7 wingspan. Nicknamed “The Claw,” Leonard possess a hand spread that measures 11.25 inches, which is bigger than Wilt, Shaq or Bill Russell. This is a player who has shot 50% from the field, 40% from 3 point land, and 90% from the line.
Brand was a great post defender and shot blocker, as he averaged 2 blocks a game from 2001-2008. This site has no affiliation with the National Basketball Association | Website by
Take for instance Yao Ming, who stood an impressive 7’6, but his wingspan was actually smaller than his height at 7’5 inches.
American former Basketball player. Besides his fantasy teams, Jeff has pledge allegiance to only two franchises, the Detroit Red Wings, and his beloved former home town team the Montreal Expos.
You must be one of those who are down on Jimmer and his chances of succeeding in the NBA.I disagree Isaiah Thomas wasn’t a loser according to reports he tested really well, interviewed well & showed the ability to compete. Here is a comparison between Dwight and Greg Oden. He didn’t get any shorter since the end of the season, in fact I was surprised he was over 5’10 in shoes. His length gives nightmares to the NBA’s best on a nightly basis as he would be frustrating the likes of Kobe, Melo, and LeBron.
McHale is known as one of the best post players in NBA history due to his great footwork and arsenal of moves.
The following top 15 will look at the most impressive wingspans in NBA history.Jason Maxiell was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in the 1st round of the 2005 draft. Unique lists featuring pop culture, entertainment and crazy facts.
One of those things was being a relentless defender. Biyombo stands 6’8, but has a wingspan that stretches out to 7’6.
With his freakish physical attributes, the future seems in very good, and large, hands.Scottie Pippen is one of the most versatile players in NBA history. I think that he will find his way into the 1st round or at worst early 2nd round- all it takes is for 1 team to like you.Kawhi Leonard is a man amongst boys some team is gonna luck out with this potential Gerald Wallace clone.
This ratio is one of the higher percentages for players who have played in the NBA.
That length has made him one of the best point guard defenders.
Per 48 minutes that number would be 8.6 blocks a game and the next closest to him is Mark Eaton at only 5.3.
In his career, Bol averaged 3.3 blocks a game, in just 18.7 minutes. During the 2000’s, Brand was one of the better rebounders and defenders.
Brand thwarted the pre-draft analysis that claimed he would be too small to have a sustainable career in the NBA.When Kawhi Leonard took home the NBA playoff MVP, he became the second youngest player to do so, as only Magic Johnson (who did it twice before the age of 23) did it younger. Any data prior to that is not a guarantee, and much of it is urban legend that grew a life of its own.
I suppose he could get stronger, but I don’t see him as a winner in the measurements.Rating Isaiah Thomas as a loser is unfair, everyone knew he was short.
Brandon Knight – His 4.2% body fat however was the lowest of anyone in the group. That is an 11% increase on his height.
Whether it be to reach for a block, getting into passing lanes, or poking balls away, extra length is a determining factor for a great defender. The average modern human being is said to have a wingspan 2 inches greater than his height.
West only stood 6’2 which would make his wingspan 9.5% greater than his height. Remarkably Leonard’s wingspan may not be his freakiest attribute, as that would go to his hand size. Prince was never a skilled offensive player, but has been one of the best perimeter defenders of the last decade. I admit his height makes him look like less of a "potential" pick and more of an "energy guy off the bench" pick, which means he might not go lottery in the end.
© 2019 Sports Phenoms, Inc., All Rights Reserved | Scottie Pippen stood 6’8 inches, but had a wingspan of 7’3, which is modest in comparison to some of the other players on this list, but Pippen used that length to its full extent. What we do know is Chamberlain stood about 7’1, while his wingspan is up for debate.
