Rondo's 6'9'' wingspan and hand length of 9.5 inches and hand span of 10 inches. Rondo's hands are the same length as 7'1'' Wilt Chamberlain. All for a guy who's 6'1'', pretty crazy as well
Fr that’s insane
Dennis Schröder has a crazy 6'7-6'8 wingspan too
You know what they say about big hands? Big gloves.
Rondos hands are not the same as Wilts lmao
@@oogabooga72 The same length, you dolt
i’m disappointed that Kyle Lowrys thick ole dumper isn’t on the list
Austin Eunice LMAOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I’m disappointed Isaiah Thomas wasn’t on this list
Fr 😠😡
*sad cockroach noises*
LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂
Anthony Davis also holds the NBA record for longest uninterrupted eyebrow.
🤣🤣
That's indisputable! 😂
7:46
Keon jhonson broke that record in this year's combine with a 48 inch vert and 44 standing vert
It’s nba measurements he hasn’t played a game an the nba yet so I don’t think it would count yet
@@mathematical9529 yes it does

Title is NBA players with ridiculous measurements. Keon isn't an NBA player yet
Wilt was a genetic perfection. He was a great track athlete and volleyball.
This video should be renamed “there once was a guy in the NBA named cookie belcher”
Just imagine Wilt in today's era with all the medical and nutritious advancements for the players.
I can't even come up with a reply
Did all of that on All Stars.
How about a lot of those 50 NBA players from the 50 to the 80s doing the same
The talent gap is closing comparing to what it used to be. Let me explains.
The evolution of sports is a complex subject. I've seen a lot of people bashing modern sports, while others bashed the past... For the last decade! I was born in 1970 : older people always acted that way "It was better before", while the young cats has been claiming "it is better now".
Yes, individual sports records (jumping, strength, power records) is slowly increasing.
We can't deny the elite group, the best of the best, has been progressing over the years. But, the biggest progression didn't came from the best of the best.
The biggest progression over the years is made by the "average" and "low tier athletes".
For example? The time gap between Usain Bolt and Christophe Lemaitre in the 100m dash in 2016 was 0.26s. Bolt ran an historic race and Christophe Lemaitre didn't even cracked the top 12.
In 1972, for the Munich Olympics games, Valery Borzov ran a 10.14s; Michael Fray was ranked 5th with a 0.26s difference with the winner.
The disparity between the elite and the rest of their peers is smaller, despite world records being shattered.
So, the "worst" and the "average" athlete made leap bound steps. But why?
1) Training is drastically different. Back in Wilt Chamberlain's time. Only a few handful of athletes were lifting weights and eating like a modern athlete.
Chamberlain was a pioneer. He was the sole player lifting weights in the NBA back then. Remember when Bill Russell admitted he never touched a dumbbell his entire NBA career?
2) Nutrition, medicine and recovery methods are incredibly effective today. The average NBA (MLB, NFL, etc.) career is longer today. It's not even comparable :
m.ruclips.net/video/zCC7RkNqm2s/видео.html
A torn ACL in 1970 means the end of your career. Today, after a year or two, you're back on the court or the field.
3) Sports technologies are evolving. On track and field : shoes, running outfits, the running surface, etc.
4) The gene pool is changing on a larger scale. A 1970s runner's body is different from a 2020s runner.
Usain Bolt and Jim Hines bodies are very different.
David Epstein once explained the gene pool has been changing majorly since the 1970s :
m.ruclips.net/video/8COaMKbNrX0/видео.html
5) Coaching. Coaches used a lot of video analysis today. It wasn't commonly used in the 1960s or 1970s. And slowly became relevant with the Chicago Bulls during Phil Jackson and Tex Winters during the early 1990s.
During an interview, Al Attles praised modern coaches with the following praises. During the interview, Marc Stein asked if it would be possible for a man to score 100 points today (Wilt Chamberlain included) :
"Today's coaches would make it almost impossible. The organized double-teams you see today didn't happen back then. The only team going back to when I was playing that would kind of have double teams would be Boston. For instance, they'd put [Jim] Loscutoff in back of Wilt and [Bill] Russell in front. But it wasn't organized."
So, athletes aren't peaking, progressing or regressing. They're adapting and they are accessing better equipment and supplies. The best of the best made progress, but the whole bunch is taking giant steps forward!
The NBA isn't getting better or worse. It's only changing.
If Chamberlain played today, he would be an elite player, but he would never gathered those inflated stats he put back then : 50 PPG, 20 TRB, 26 block shots against the Pistons, 100 points in a game.
@@david.tousignant20 To be fair what you said is on point but the biggest reason why most players never came close to Wilt's 50 a game, is his inexhaustible stamina.
If players were able to play 46 minutes an entire season, dead sure in this era of 3 pointers multiple players would have at least one season scoring 50, but they cant.
Imagine clowning Durant for not being able to bench even as a rookie he was a beast scorer. Plus at his height, wingspan and body type he's the exact opposite of a champion bencher.
yeah the bodyfat percentages are way off. every body builder will say that once you’re below 5-6% it’s constant torture and impossible to maintain for a long time. your hormones stop working, your muscles have less energy and strength, and it makes ur endurance go down. absolutely no chance any nba player is going below that. the guy with 2.9% supposedly would look so absolutely ripped it would look alien but he doesn’t because his real bmi is nowhere near that.
They would die at 3 % BODYFAT
@@prebenlarsen350 either die or in the hospital. 2.6% would be impossible to play basketball. They probably used dexa scans to record the players bf percentages, which tend to be anywhere between 3-7% off
When you hear those trumpets.
You know Andy ain’t lying. He puts a lot of work into his video and hope he reaches 500k subscribers real soon
When those Trumpets are playing you better sit down and listen cause Andy is entering the room..
Can that song be found or that instrumental?
Idk what it was about Rondo and Dwight's shoulders, but they've always amazed me
Seen Dwight in person and it's crazy his shoulders that wide
Andy Hoops doing it on a Wednesday !!!! dope stuff
3:12 Rachel's finally getting some screentime nowadays. LOL
YEESSSHH lol
😂
Glad you are cutting back on the number of ads, I am subbing.
Serge Ibaka’s Schlong deserves a mention
TMI
😳
How do you know asking for a friend
How about Aron Baynes and "all of Australia"?
A lot of all-time great shooters usually have small or average wing spans for their positions
So that’s why shortening ur wingspan makes ur three point rating higher in 2k
I didn’t know that, That’s interesting
True. this is why kd is 💯💯💯
@@JMVDD08 KD is more than just a shooter
Sometimes long wingspans too
earl boykins, a name i haven’t heard in a while, but damn 315 at 139😭😭
I am heavier than him but IDK if I can bench even 185. BTW I am around 176-180.
also reggie jackson has a wingspan of 7’ at 6’3
great video bro keep it up !
3:11 Jimmy butler is PISSED seeing this picture 😂
Why?
I was hoping to see Vince C. on the vertical list. Nice video!
Shame on SAS for calling Kwame’s hands small when we don’t even know his hand size!
just looking at them you can tell they small tho
Kwame a bust
@@CovfefeDotard not entirely defending him, but imagine being in immense pressure from MJ as a teenager. Wouldn't that really fuck someone in the head.
No disrespect to Kwame.. But he cant catch a fucking ball
Bro I see u everywhere
3:30 That's it, Andy Hoops is going to be on Kwame Brown's RUclips rant tomorrow.
Andy, love your videos, keep it up. I have an idea for a video. The NBA's 75th anniversary season is coming up. Would you be able to do a video where you give your list for 75 greatest NBA players?
There’s a video of Wilt hitting his armpit on the rim on Wilt Chamberlain Archive. Dude could hop. And if Arnold says Wilt is the strongest man he’s ever met, I think we should take his word for it.
Wilt is my favourite player of all time, his height was measured by pixel measuring, at around 40 inches. It could be higher tho, but it is enough for him to have the highest reach ever jumping, 13 feet. He touched the top of the backboard legit.
As a european, I am really thankful, that you are writing the numbers in cm and kg.
damn i didnt know eric gordan was that athletic, but i remember he used to get up there
Gordon before his injury was insanely athletics and fast thatbis the reason why he was with usa basketball team.
When you’ve got relatively long arms, you’re at a disadvantage when it comes to bench pressing due to the elbows (and triceps) being positioned further away from the chest.
What about Jokics incredible 55 inch vertical jump?
Jokic jumps *plop*
Every story you hear about Wilt is the truth...he was the best all around athlete to ever walk this planet.
Pretty sure a kid recorded a 48 inch vert in this year's combine
Some kid in college had a 51.5 inch vert this year
are we talking a real vert or the nba version of a vert where you get a running start? because 48 on a real very is insanity, but for a basketball vert doesnt seem that impressive.
Dexton has a 63 inch vert
dmznecmi No he doesn’t. He caps.
7:48 Fun fact As of this year the new highest vertical recorded at the draft combine is now 48 inches by Keon Johnson
legit i'm really not surprised , Kawhi Leonard's hand is like a fucking baseball glove or something ..
No wonder Mitchells dunks Look so effortless. Dude has longer wingspan than me. And im 6 foot 9.
great vid. surprised Steven Adams isnt up there for highest bench.
About Wilt Chamberlain vertical, you have to trust this youtuber. He estimated his vert just under 41" for a man 7'1 barefoot, it's a NBA 2k type of measurements
(Sorry, RUclips won't allow me to copy and paste)
BTW, according to multiple credible sources, the tallest man to ever bench 450, 500 and 550 pounds was strongman and former pro basketball player Thör Björnsson @6'9, 420 lbs!
Wilt Chamberlain was a storyteller and I don't believe anything he claimed... yes, he was strong, but stronger than Thör Björnsson (a physical freak, hardworking and PEDs user?).
JxmyHighroller right?
@@benjaminan1183
Sadly, no. It's Wilt Chamberlain Archive.
m.ruclips.net/video/0EpVZS26BUs/видео.html
@Mike Brown
Of course Chamberlain was strong. Chamberlain is one of the strongest pro basketball player ever we've ever seen.
But, you have to be delusional to believe a basketball player was stronger than a modern WSM winner and multiple records holder : bench press, dead lift (World record), keg toss, etc.
Thör Björnsson was doing incredible strength feats on a basketball court in his 20s, but I can't believe every story people are telling about Björnsson physical prowess on the hardwood; memory isn't reliable. I will apply the same logic about Chamberlain's tall tales. Let's say I take everything with a grain of salt when people witnessed an event.
N.B. It's sad that only 2% of Chamberlain's career survived to the test of time.
Wilt claimed a 600 pound bench press on national television. He's also claimed to have slept with over 20,000 women and to have killed a mountain lion with his bare hands.
I think Wilt was the most dominant player ever, but he bragged about stuff that is laughable.
Banger
Yo "Cookie Belcher" 😭😭
3:12 A Freak in the sheets and a freak in the bubble
Always was curious about players ridiculous physical measurements 🥴
You know you're the goat when you record a 48 inch vert for fun
Everyone gangster at the combine until Tacko Fall steps in and destroys every single measurement, his wingspan is so long he can simultaneously take a bath and cook food also I make videos as well
No one cares about your videos
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 he's promoting respect the hustle
@@byronandujar7453 Self-Promoting doesn't even work well and It's just stupid and lazy
Hey, make one about the most ridiculous measurements on the small size... smallest players, smallest players able to dunk, etc
How good was Damon Stoudemire a soild player in the 90s and 2000s but what happen to his career.
Lmao look at old dudes face on the left at 4:57. Man’s looking like he just witnessed a miracle
Spud Webb was quite a freak of a nature too, although these days its not that rare to see someone 5'7" pulling off crazy dunks but back then 30+ years ago, it was like a circus show
Need a part 2 if you can
I'm 6'2" and wear size 15 shoes. Bradley and Bol are a foot and half taller than me and only wear 1 size more? That's insane.
The shoe sizes surprised me the most, i know a few dudes around 6’3 that wear size 17 and 18 shoes
THT might be right there with Mitchell's height / wingspan ratio
I remember on the nba.com site seeing a player recording a 48inch vertical (max) in this year.
I fully believe the Wallace story. His physique was crazy
Ben Wallace was very insanely strong, the true wall. Also Larry Jonhson was a very stronger player with great afinity yo gym.
Now, the combine record is Keon Johnson.
(For vert)
Keon Johnson just broke the vert record at the combine, he got a 48 inch vertical leap and 41 stand still, which I think was also a record
Yep
Harden's beard is 24ft if laid on the floor.
Great vídeo, I think that the original Monstars: Charles Barkley and Larry Jonhson Will be here, both were very masive but also very faster and atlhetic guys (like Zion). Maybe the highest cinetic energy in the game: Ce=(m*v^2)/2 . Also in a stranger statistics reported in relation of caloric energy average used in a Game based in weigth and distance, Joakim Noah report the higer caloric expendure.
Yeah I think I agree that the body fat information reported by the NBA might be a little dubious
AD has the distinction of being the the tallest glass Cannon in NBA history
Y’all actually believe wilt chamberlain had a 48 inch vert 😂🤣🤣
he is a somewhat legit 40 inch vert
@Mike Brown
Chamberlain had an insane vertical, but this guy is THE reference for Chamberlain.
He estimated his vertical at 40.35" based on his NCAA jumping record and his 13' max reach! Wilt was a beast :
m.ruclips.net/video/0EpVZS26BUs/видео.html
@Mike Brown nope that’s not even a top of the backboard buddy. The camera angle messed you up
And don't forget the 20,000 sex encounters with womens.
🧢
I'm shocked you didn't use Donovan Mitchell for shoe size. He also wears a size 17 at 6'1 thats insane
Smart, didn't mention Yao Ming.
Ben Wallace also had (has?) notoriously small hands. I remember going to some fair in MI that had some of the current Piston's hand sizes as impressions, and Ben's were like normal people hands.
Remember me when you hit 1,000,000
I’m surprised Yao Ming didn’t make this list
Yay, shout out to my man Ben Wallace
Wilt was a world class high jumper and weightlifter. There are verifiable measurements and records to support those facts. Maybe not exact vertical measurements were recorded but he claimed over 50" in interviews.
Keon Johnson should be here for the verticle leap
I thought, im gonna find RR9 on ur list 😊
Where Derek from mpmd to dissect the body fat percentage portion?
Keon Johnson’s vertical on here ? Or is this not updated
He's not in the NBA yet
I wanna video on players with terrible measurements
you forgot to add spidas shoe size as well. He wears size 17 wtf
Vince Carter or Gerald Green wasn't in the vert convo..?
I like how you use sad intro music for this, being big isn't all that it's cracked up to be
Nate Robinson (played DB on U of Washington football team) allegedly benched around 500. Played in the NBA around 180.
They're 0.001% of the world. 1% of 8billion is 80million.
Keon Johnson had a 48 inch vertical at the draft combine.
Alonzo Mourning was said to bench press 500 lbs when healthy.
Donovan mitchell again has somewhere around a 17 shoe which again is insane for his short height
His foot almost as big as kd’s? 😂
This is fun haha
Such bull that any of the BB have under 3% BF.
If you dont bench, especially often, than 185 can be hard ooo
Wow, Mitchell's measurements are insane for a man of his height. I always thought Rondo has the most impressive with his 6'1 height and 6'9 wingspan with large hands too, but Mitchell's is better!
I may be wrong, but isn’t body fat measured by water displacement? I’m almost positive Shawn Kemp was measured at 46”-48” vertical.
Rondo's measurement is also insane. Sad to say it is beaten by Mitchell
Thanks for throwing in some cms and kgs for your viewers from overseas ;) (and Canadians I guess)
Kawhi hands are so big, he can scratch his butt and the back of his head at the same time, with the same hand. Hand looking like a bunch of bananas
imagine your name is cookie belcher lmao HAHAH
Keon Johnsoh broke the draft combine vertical record, with 48”
Noti gang!
Basketball players are generally some of the leanest and most in shape athletes there are because the game of basketball requires every player on the team to transition to both sides of the “ball” (offense and defense of course) and all that running is going to burn every ounce of fat off your body fast!!
This guy Rondo man...
Has some Wilt hands
We all know Bol Bol has the "FREAKIEST PHYSICAL MEASUREMENT" Wink wink
😳
2:46 that play right there is unfair omg
Glen Rice was another great shooter with small hands
Anthony Davis and Morris twins all have 8.5 inch hand width as almost 7 footers. I'm 5'8 and have 8.6 hand width and I know some shorter people with wider hands than mine. How in the earth is this possible??
Dennis smith jr has a 48' vert tho?
Cookie Belcher is a wild name
