Era of the Most Physically Gifted Players in the NBA

Jason Cooley
Right now, we NBA fans are witnessing an incredible era of the most dominate and gifted NBA freaks to ever be assembled at one time in the same league. We get to watch athletes that are physically more gifted than ever. The cast of freaks goes accordingly:

Shaquille O'Neal

The old man of the bunch, O'neal was commonly known as the MDP (Most Dominate Player) in the game. His incredible strength came from his incredible girth but still never slowed down the big man's footwork and agility.

Yao Ming

If being 7'5" is not enough how about being 7'5" with an outside shot and a gentle touch? Men this tall are normally flat-footed and stiff relying on offensive rebounds to score points.

Dirk Nowitzki

The 7-footer who can shoot the lights out from the arc.

Dwight Howard

7-feet-tall with a vertical Jump that allows him to sore with any high flier, Dwight Howard is able to take his game well above the rim dunking easily on a 12-foot rim during the NBA All Star slam dunk competition.

Nate Robinson

5'9" is the repeat slam dunk champion who blocked the shot of previously listed 7'5" Yao Ming and dunked over 7-foot previously mentioned fellow freak lister Dwight Howard, this fiery guy had to get much higher off the ground to soar above the much larger slam dunkers to become a 2 time slam dunk champion.

LeBron James

Standing 6'9" and 260 lbs with no physical limitations on the court, LeBron James is the perfectly balanced freak of nature that just should not exist.

As the recipients of these unusual gifts all of these players are not merely side show gimmicks but are actually very talented super star players that lead their respective teams with top notch game play. Most of these players are still very young and have plenty of time to develop even more making the future of the NBA something to be really excited about.
