Comparing talent with O'Neill, it is really humiliating, because in most people's eyes, his talent is a ceiling existence. Even if Jordan and O'Neal are more talented, they don't necessarily have an advantage, Jordan has O'Neill, and O'Neill has it, Jordan doesn't necessarily have it. So how exaggerated O'Neill's talent is, you can feel it in today's 5 photos.
The NBA has many big stars, and O'Neal is one of them. A pair of big hands is a dream that many people can dream of, which is very helpful for the game. O'Neill's palms were bigger than Leonard's, and when he ate chicken thighs, he felt like he was flossing his teeth. Basketball is really too small in the hand, such a giant palm is rare.
The 90cm bounce isn't tall in the NBA, but you have to compare body size and body type. O'Neill is 300 pounds up, and then 2 meters 16 tall, most of this body size bounces about 60cm, and even many are matchbox bounces. O'Neal's limit is above 90cm, this time with an empty dunk, basically flat frame. If he only has 200 pounds, the bounce is easily up to 1 meter.
Duncan's arm span was against the sky, but compared to O'Neill, it was still a little worse. Facing O'Neill's defense, Duncan chose to hook the board, which was originally a unique skill, and was ruthlessly hatped by O'Neill. Originally, Duncan had opened up enough offensive space, but O'Neill's arm span was too long, or he relied on his fingertips to achieve the cover.
In theory, a center of O'Neill's size has thick calves, and Yao Ming is like this, but he is an exception. O'Neill's calves are not only not thick, but they also appear slender, and if you only look at the legs, you will even think of it as Maddy. It is with such calves that O'Neill's athletic ability is so strong. Saying he was dragged down by the fast pace in his small-ball days, apparently hadn't seen O'Neal's game.
Finally, there's the talented shoulder width that we've overlooked, which is especially important for the interior. The inside shoulder is wide enough, so that offense, defense, basket card position, will have more advantages. O'Neill shoulder width is at the top 3 levels of history, and he stands on the inside line, and that's a wall. Look at tough guys like Johnson, directly slagged by O'Neill, this is the talent gap.
