Suddenly announced his retirement! The former king of blocks disappeared very suddenly

Suddenly, Puerto Rico league team Cabradias Pirates officially announced today that their player Hassen Whiteside plans to retire.

Hasen-Whiteside, do you remember?

It's the big white edge!

Whiteside was last seen in the NBA in the 2021-22 season, when he left the NBA to play in overseas leagues last season.

It is estimated that if it is not the official announcement of retirement this time, many fans still don't know, right?!

Therefore, Bai Bian did not officially announce his retirement from the NBA this time, but ended his basketball career.

Bai Bian, the fall is too hasty.

He went from being the king of blocks to a defensive tumor that everyone hated, and it seemed to be an overnight thing.

He played 12 seasons in the NBA, and was once in the All-Defensive Second Team, won one rebounding title, and won two block titles.

But in fact, in his last season in the NBA, White played 65 games with the Jazz and averaged 8.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

But this kind of data is still not enough for Bai Bian to get a job in the NBA.

The problem lies in his style of play and ball quotient

Of course, it is difficult for centers to find a job in the NBA when they get older, and it has always been a trend in the NBA over the years.

At the peak of that year, Dabaibian was also brilliant and brilliant.

At that time, many people were attracted by his passionate cap

In those years, there were also a lot of fans in the white side.

Before the tide recedes, looking at the white edge from the perspective of passion, this buddy's cap is indeed good-looking.

It's true that a lot of the blocks are just holding the ball down

The highlights of other people's careers are more or less pictures of scoring and dunking. There is really no white edge, and it is all a collection of caps.

Is it suddenly understandable why the popularity of white edge was quite good in those years. This cap, you just say it's good-looking, it's good-looking?!

What was the match that impressed the Whiteside the most?

At his peak, White averaged 17 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.

This dude tried averaging 3.7 blocks per game in a single season (2015-16)

Do you know what the highest single-season block per game average in NBA history is? Mark Eaton averaged 5.56 per game (1984-85), and Eaton made 456 deliveries that season.

If the white edge is compared to Mark Eaton, it is still a bit of a gap.

The season with the highest white rim was 269 blocks.

And there is a very magical point on White's side, his block is considered to be very top among his contemporaries, but he is not the best defensive among his contemporaries.

You see, he won the block title in 2016 and 2020, but only barely made a defensive second team in 2016, and was the only time in his career that he was selected to the best defensive team.

It's too far from Mark Eaton, the most famous block king in NBA history.

Mark Eaton has won four blocks, won two Defensive Player of the Year, was named to the All-Defensive First Team three times, and was named to the All-Defensive First Team twice.

In contrast, does it instantly see the problem of white edges?

After the 2014-15 season after the White Edge transfer to the Heat, ushered in a furious period, and in the 2019-2020 season, he won the block king again, and the best defensive players in the NBA in these 6 seasons were:

2014-15 season Leonard

2015-16 season Leonard

2016-17 season Draymond Green

2017-18 season Gobert

2018-19 season Gobert

2019-20 season alphabet brother

See the difference between White Edge and these players?

In other words, is there any player in the current NBA who has a particularly similar style to the white edge? The defense seems to be strong and weak at the same time.
