How strong is the lower body strength of NBA players?

As we all know, the physical fitness of NBA stars is definitely one of the best among human beings. Not only do they have well-developed upper limbs, but their lower limbs are also very powerful. In addition to exercising their upper limbs, they are also very particular about the strength training of their lower limbs, because only strong lower limbs can make them invincible, so the lower limb strength of NBA stars is naturally very terrifying. If you don’t believe it, you can feel it through the photos below.

James’ thighs are as thick as a bucket!

During the Heat period, James' physical fitness was simply a bug, especially his amazing lower body strength. In a game against the Warriors, James seized the opportunity to launch a wave of fast breaks. Although he fell due to an unstable emergency stop, the result was a deep braking mark on the floor. There is no doubt that if someone with such terrifying lower limb strength stepped on someone else's foot, they would probably break their bones.

As one of the most physically fit stars in active service, Antetokounmpo is truly unstoppable when he receives the ball in the low post or breaks through. However, Antetokounmpo couldn't be arrogant in front of Brother Deng. No matter how hard he pushed Harden, he remained motionless. This shows Harden's terrifying lower body strength. Look at Harden's strong lower body muscles in the picture, which are bigger than Westbrook next to him. It's no wonder that Deng is known as the best defensive player in the low post.

When it comes to Aaron Gordon, the first thing that comes to mind is his violent aesthetic dunks, and what allows him to abuse the frame anytime and anywhere is his extremely explosive lower body. However, for shoes, such powerful breakthroughs and dunks will cause huge damage to them. No, Gordon stepped on his shoes when he made a breakthrough. You know, he was wearing special sneakers, but they still couldn't withstand Gordon's powerful lower body strength.

Compared with Gordon, this year's top pick Williamson is not so lucky. In the previous focus battle between Duke and North Carolina, Zion not only broke his shoes due to excessive force, but also suffered a strain on himself. Fortunately, Cai En's body is relatively strong, otherwise with such a weight, he would definitely not be able to escape from a serious injury. It is worth mentioning that Zion's kick directly wiped out billions of market value from Nike. It seems that the star's lower body strength cannot be underestimated.

In addition to the two frame-busting monsters above, Ginobili also broke his shoes during a breakthrough. Even though he is a relatively light guard, his lower body strength is Still far beyond ordinary people. And Pop also showed a confused expression after seeing Ginobili crushing his shoes, as if to say: "Are you trying to trick me into wearing a pair of sneakers?" ?

It must be said that the shoes that can be worn by football stars are all of excellent quality, but it is not easy to survive at the feet of football stars. Look at the degree of distortion of these shoes. You can imagine the pressure of NBA boots. After all, they may be stepped on if you are not careful.

If we want to name the player with the strongest lower body strength in the league, then Chairman Yao, whom we are familiar with, will definitely be on the list. Although Yao Ming's athletic ability is not outstanding, his lower body strength is simply "Thanos" level. Even heavyweight centers like O'Neal and Howard can't beat Yao Ming in the low post. The most tragic thing is Big Ben. The latitude of his lower limbs is not half that of Yao Ming. Just look at his ferocious expression and you will know how terrifying Chairman Yao's lower limbs are.
