Among the NBA active players, the longest-named player is naturally the now hot Greek monster, Giannis antetokounmpo letter Goyonis Antetokounmpo.
The Bucks' No. 34 player, the name behind his jersey should have driven the jersey designer crazy — a dense semicircular arc arranged to show the full 13 letters of his full name. Of course, Brother Alphabet's performance this season is explosive, averaging 29.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, making him always in the top five of the MVP rankings. And, don't forget that he just celebrated his 23rd birthday.
Among the current NBA players, if you ask who has the weirdest shooting posture, I believe many people will blurt out a name - the Lakers' list this year's show, ball brother Langzo Ball.
Anyone who has watched the ball brother game will definitely be impressed by his shooting posture - a person who shoots with his right hand actually shoots from the left side of his body in a unique posture! At present, the average number of the ball brother is 8.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, the shooting rate is a miserable 32,1%, the three-point shooting rate is 24.6%, and even the free throw shooting rate is only 47.1%. The strange shooting posture makes the ball brother a historical player - in the history of the NBA's 70 years, only 4 predecessors in the ancient period have a single season shooting rate lower than the ball brother, and after 1960, the league has never had a core rotation player shooting rate of less than 35%.
Now I have to tell you - in the NBA, there is another player whose shooting posture is even more bizarre and ugly than the ball brother! Also, the player's name length is second only to the alphabet brother, and he is the longest-named player before the Greek monster entered the NBA. Moreover, this player was second only to Davis in the draft of that year, and can be said to be above everyone under one person, and what Lillard Chuang God Bill ranked behind him - he was a top-eye player (another eye-catching show!). ）。 But so far, his career has been lackluster. This player is the 2012 top pick , Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Michael Gilchrist, who averaged 20.2 points and 11 rebounds in high school, entered the University of Kentucky, a basketball school, in 2011. But on the day he and Kentucky were about to sign their intention to enroll, his uncle, who had taken care of him since childhood, died. In honor of his uncle, he put his name in the middle of his name and officially changed his name to Michael kidd-gilchrist. Moreover, he asked that his shirt be printed on it — kidd-gilchris Kidd Gilchrist.
In his freshman year, Gilchrist averaged 31.3 minutes per game, contributing 11.9 points (fourth on the team) and 7.4 rebounds (second on the team). On April 3, 2012, the University of Kentucky final against the University of Kansas, Gilchrist scored 11 points and 6 rebounds on 4-of-7 shooting in 35 minutes to help the Kentucky Wildcats win the NCAA Championship.
In the June 29, 2012 NBA Draft, Michael Kidd Gilchrist was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats (now the Hornets) with the second pick in the first round. The winner of the year was his alumnus Thick Brow Brother Davis. And future All-Star players like Chuang Shen, Lillard, Beal and others are ranked behind him.
However, McGigee's career was not perfect. In the rookie season, he averaged 9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and his best season was only 12.7 points per game, averaging 9.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in his career. In terms of honors, he was only the best rookie for one month and was selected for the rookie challenge. Moreover, in just a few years of his career, McGiji has suffered several serious injuries.
However, what impressed Mekgiji the most was his strange and unique shooting posture. Such a shooting posture, even the ball brother has to dwarf it. How can such a soul-destroying shooting posture be strongly and powerfully ranked among the parallel goods list?
One thing mcGigie is better than his brother is that he still has a 47.1 percent shooting percentage and a 71.2 percent three-point shooting percentage in his career. Although the three-point and the ball brother are not separated from each other, these two statistics are indeed much stronger than Ball. Moreover, as a defensive player, McGighee still has an important tactical position in the overall tactics of the team!
As we all know, the owner of the Hornets is Jordan, the greatest player in NBA history. In his rookie season, McGiggy had the opportunity to go head-to-head with Jordan. As a result, the 19-year-old leader lost to the 50-year-old boss!
After exposing the shortcomings of his shooting, Gilchrist was well aware of his shortcomings, and he improved his shooting through training and improved the quality of his offense, a professional attitude that the Hornets appreciated. On 2015-08-25, the Hornets renewed their contract with 2012 draft pick Michael Kidd Gilchrist, who was awarded a new four-year, $52 million contract.
Now, McGigie is trying to prove himself – although he is a top player, the team's expectations for him are high. But McGiggy knows that his talent is much worse than other stars, and he doesn't have much hope for himself on the offensive end. Where he can display his talents lies in defense!
