Let's face it, almost any tall guy can easily learn to dunk, but doing these spectacular dunks at just 5'7" and hitting them all on the first try is truly amazing. Spud Webb had a vertical jump of 46" which was close to Michael Jordan's 48" but he was 11 inches shorter than MJ and his hands were too small to palm the basketball. IMO Spud Webb is the best NBA dunker in history.
@foreverlikethestarss Жыл бұрын
nah he was def able to palm the ball keep in mind that the basketballs the nba uses are incredibly grippy and also its not too uncommon for small people to have big hands, my father is also 5'7 and can palm a ball.

Spud and Muggsy should be in the HOF for being great at what they was able to do at a high level in the prime of their career for their size and for their teams. Their teams thrived when they became starters by them using their small stature to push the tempo on offense and to cause havoc on defense… outside their solid stats there’s things they did that’s not going to make the stat sheet like deflections preventing the other team from scoring and being part of an extra pass assist they not going to get credit for.

People forget not only was he 5'7" he also only weighed 133lbs and wore a size 7.5 shoe. Most short guys in the league are still pretty "big" nate robinson for example 5'9" but 180lbs and a size 10.5 shoe. A lot of the "small" NBA guys are still large for their height... if that makes sense. Spudd was not.

Spud was different man. 5"7, dunking over people in games. I mean he was doing backward dunks on a fast break. Guys that height just wasn't dunking like that in the 80s and 90s. Of course there were some guys short who could dunk but a lot of guys that height probably didnt even think they could dunk. I believe Spud paved the way for a lot of under 6 feet guys. I believe he gave a lot of guys hope and confidence. Now. Guys are doing eastbays at 5"7 now but you wasn't seeing that in no 80s and 90s from no 5"6-5"7 guy. Spud all day baby😊
@chitownmo Жыл бұрын
The fact that he and other sub 6 foot players had and still have long careers is an accomplishment within itself even if they never achieve star status. It is extremely difficult to make the NBA even if you have the adequate size, skills and athleticism. More so if you are below 6 feet tall.
