Why are NBA superstars almost monopolized by blacks these five pictures reveal the cruel truth of "talent crushing"

In the NBA spotlight, black players have nearly monopolized all top honors. From Jordan to James, from O'Neal to Antetokounmpo, behind their dominance is a shocking biological code - the body structure of black players, naturally born for basketball. Today, through five sets of comparison pictures, the truth about this talent crushing is revealed.

The first picture: Durant vs Yi Jianlian - "dimensionality reduction strike" of arm span

As the peak representative of the talent of the yellow race, Yi Jianlian is 2.13 meters tall and 2.22 meters tall, and he was once known as a "black player wearing yellow skin." However, when he was in the same frame with Durant, the gap immediately emerged: Durant, who is 2.08 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.24 meters, and his palms are almost hanging to his knees when standing vertically. This "gibbon"-like proportion gives him an advantage in defensive coverage and shooting interference. Yellow people generally have shorter wingspan than their height, and Yao Ming even has 5 cm shorter wingspan. This difference directly determines the players' ceiling in rebounding competition and defensive efficiency.

Second picture: Iverson's palm - the "counterattack code" of a shorter man 1.8 meters

Iverson, who is 1.83 meters tall, became the No. 1 NBA pick and was once ridiculed as "the shortest No. 1 pick in history." But a photo of him shaking hands with Yao Ming revealed the truth: his palm is exactly the same size as Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall! This "giant palm" allows him to grab the ball with one hand to complete the sign change, and is even called by experts "the physiological basis of human-ball integration." In contrast, Asian players, even Yi Jianlian's palms only barely reach the average black level. The size of the palm directly correlates the stability of the ball, which is the core reason why the yellow defender finds it difficult to replicate the Iverson legend.

The third picture: Antetokounmpo's Achilles tendon - 34.3 cm "spring legs"

Antetokounmpo's Achilles tendon length (34.3 cm) is more than twice that of ordinary people, almost extending from the heel to the knee. This "super human" structure allows him to start from the three-point line to complete a European dunk, while ordinary players only need to consume more energy for the Achilles tendon to exert force. What’s even more cruel is that the length of the Achilles tendon is entirely determined by genes. Training can only improve muscle strength, but it cannot change the physical limit of the Achilles tendon. This explains why Antetokounmpo can be ranked among the super giant with talent alone, while other players are still hard to match for ten years.

The fourth picture: O'Neal's calf - the "anti-sense structure" of the 300 kilograms of the behemoth

O'Neal weighs more than 300 kilograms, but has calves that are slenderer than girls. This unique ratio of "thick and thin on the top" gives him both strength and agility, and can not only crush backs but also fast attack and dunks. If an ordinary strong man reaches the same weight, his calf muscles will inevitably be bloated, resulting in slow movement. The common features of Achilles tendon and slim calf in black players are the perfect combination of explosive power and endurance, and can be called a model of "evolving for basketball".

The fifth picture: 1.68-meter-dunk king - the bounced "genetic lottery"

Weber, who is 1.68 meters tall, set the record for the shortest championship in the NBA. His vertical bounce reaches 1.3 meters, his running and assisting touch is more than 3.5 meters high, and even Westbrook is 20 cm taller. What's even more amazing is that at the age of 53, he can still easily complete folding dunks, while most ordinary people's jumps sharply decline after the age of 30. This innate advantage of muscle fiber type and nerve recruitment ability gives black players a fault-like lead in bounce height and endurance. The "cruel dialectics" of talent and effort

The rule of black players is by no means a denial of the value of effort - Kobe's training at four in the morning and Curry's three-point revolution are all proof. But when the gap in physical talent is as concrete as Durant's wingspan and Antetokounmpo's Achilles tendon, we have to admit that in the top competitive field, genes determine the upper limit and strive to define the lower limit. Just as Yi Jianlian tried his best to reach the average talent line of black stars, this may be the fairest "unfairness" in sports.
