Jordan's Achilles tendon, Kobe's Achilles tendon, Maddie's Achilles tendon, no embarrassment without contrast!
The Achilles tendon is the thickest tendon in the human body, which is responsible for linking the muscles behind the calf to the root bone, and its length largely determines the person's bounce, speed and explosiveness. For ordinary people, the length of the Achilles tendon does not matter, but for professional athletes, a gap of 1 cm will make a huge difference in their athletic performance. So, let's take a look at how long the Achilles tendon of those NBA stars is.
Jordan: 28.3 cm
"Basketball God" Jordan has unparalleled physical talent, combining speed, bounce, strength, explosiveness, flexibility, which is why he can easily make difficult movements and look very elegant. The reason why Jordan's athleticism is so outstanding is largely related to his 28.3 cm long Achilles tendon, which is almost twice the length of the average person.
Kobe: 30 cm
Kobe is known as the most Jordan-like player, both in terms of technical style and desire to win are extremely similar, and even in the eyes of many fans, Kobe's scoring explosion is even better than Jordan, and has created a series of scoring feasts such as 81 points per game and 62 points in the third quarter. In addition, Kobe's Achilles tendon is also a little longer than Jordan's, reaching a staggering 30 centimeters.
Maddie: 30.1 cm
Although Maddie's career is far less brilliant than Kobe's, in terms of physical talent, Maddie is definitely one of the top three in history, with speed, bounce, coordination are the top gear, and his height and arm span are also the best among guard players. Maddie is best known for his 30.1-centimeter-long Achilles tendon, the second-largest number in NBA history.
Alphabet brother: 34.3 cm
The reason why Alphabet Brother is called "Greek Monster" is precisely because of his historical-level physical talent and explosive athleticism, which makes people exclaim that he is a combination of James and O'Neill. According to medical experts, Alphabet Brother's Achilles tendon is 34.3 centimeters long, making it the longest player with an Achilles tendon in NBA history to date.
