Infographic Of The Tallest And Smallest Basketball Players In The NBA History

Basketball is no doubt one of the world's most famous sports. Professional basketball players are considered as famous celebrities much more if they are playing with great skills and intensity. Aside from the talent, basketball players are sometimes getting famous because of their height (small or big) and how it affects their play at the basketball court.

At the NBA, you will notice and see lots of players with towering height and might. They play the center position and often times they handle the rebounding and defensive department. The offense is there but the main thing for them is protecting the board and the basket. This is what Manute Bol, a 7'7 baller, did during his pro career at the NBA league.

If there are giants, there are also basketball players who played in the NBA whose height are below 5'7. Can't believe it? You must! Who can forget the skills and guts of Muggsy Bogues who stand's at 5'3 but lasted for 14 years in the NBA league. With that height, if he ain't skilled enough, he won't even finish a season playing for the teams he landed in.

Top 10 Ways to teach Basketball for kids


Basketball is a team sport that is played using our hands. Basketball played on a court with two competing teams each having five players each. It's not only a sport but also a way to do exercise instead of heading to a gym. We can teach basketball to children from the age of four years and above either as a sport or a career. In the tax credits phone number, the main basic skills to we can teach children about basketball include the following:

1. Dribbling - This is one of the first and most important skills to learn about basketball. The child should always practice using a regular size ball even thou it may look to big for him to handle. The child should use his/her finger tips to bounce the ball on the floor continuously in order to strengthen his/her fingers. This is because one of the basketball rules is to dribble the ball using fingers and not the palm of your hand.

2. Passing - As basketball is a team sport, you should always teach the child to pass the ball and to avoid staying with the ball for a long duration. In basketball, they should learn to basic passes. The first pass is known as chest pass whereby the ball is not allowed to touch the floor. This pass is usually done using both hands direct to the chest of your team mate. The second pass is known as the bounce pass. It is executed using the court. The floor is the target position of the ball,the ball is thrown on the floor in order to reach the other team mate around his/her waist hereby allowing the team mate to catch it.

3. Shooting - The types of shots in basketball include; set shot, jump shot and lay up shot.

Blake Griffin, The Real Life Hanamichi Sakuragi?




hanamichi sakuragi blake griffin


What can you say about this picture above? I’m totally sure that I’m not the only one here thinks that this NBA All Star Player Blake Griffin of Los Angeles Cliffers really has big resemblance to Hanamichi Sakuragi of Slam dunk anime/manga series. Especially to those people who’s both a big fan of NBA and Slam Dunk series like me, I’m sure they will think that this two guys really has big similarity. I don’t know but every time I watch Blake Griffin play he always remind me of Sakuragi, not just because they have the same hairstyle or same body build but also because of their style and way of playing are so much alike. If you do not know, Blake Griffin just like Sakuragi both also has an insane athletic ability that you will rarely see to anyone even in NBA. They are both a high flyer in terms of jumping ability and a monster dunker who just attacks the glass with reckless abandon. I can say that Blake Griffin is also one of the top 5 rebounders in NBA today just like Hanamichi who’s also a beast in terms of rebounding.

The Importance of Rebounding in Basketball


“The one who controls the rebound controls the game”

 
If you ever watch slam dunk anime series until the end then I'm sure already knew the meaning of that quote. If you don't know or you just forgot, It’s the quotable quotes that Takenori Akagi gave to Hanamichi Sakuragi for him to think that rebound is an important part of basketball and it's very crucial for a team to win games. This quote really helps Sakuragi to realized that his rebounding skill can be the main key for them to win. But let’s get back to reality in playing basketball, does rebounding really one of the most important thing in basketball? If your still new in playing basketball then here are the reasons that I just read and learned in my basketball experience about why rebounding serves an important role in winning basketball games.



  • Being good in rebounding the ball can give your team more opportunities to shoot while you also able to lessen your opposing team to score. Because being skilled in rebound can give your team more possessions in the ball which means a more chance for your team to score.


  • Being skilled in rebounding can help improve your team’s scoring percentage, Just like an offensive rebound are a put-backs score from a close in. Also getting fast defensive rebounds with the help of great pass can lead your team in a fast break opportunity to score. This really makes your team improve and get better in scoring percentage.


  • Great rebounding can give your team lots of free throw opportunity because it will make the other team get trouble inside the feint area especially if your good team are good at boxing out, which will make them really frustrated to get the ball and will cause them to make a loose ball foul.
  • Rebounding skill is actually a combination of offense and defense and can totally lead you to win basketball games.

Rebound is totally a big part of basketball. At first when I play basketball I just always practice my skill in shooting and dribbling but never got interested to improve my skill in rebound. But now I learn that being great in rebounding is an important key too for you to win games in basketball. So if your playing basketball and you think your not good in shooting the ball or dribbling the ball, maybe its time for you to start improving your skill in rebounding because you should always remember that  “The one who controls the rebound controls the game”.
