These giants, as the stories would say, struck terror into the hearts of ordinary folks and were often critical pieces in the establishment of civilizations and numerous cultures and traditions. While giants are most often confined to the realm of legends and stories, the same cannot be said about the NBA. The NBA has seen its share of giants throughout its long history. These giants have paved the way for the improvement and evolution of the game of basketball. Giants such as Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, and Yao Ming are among the most prominent big men the league has ever seen, but they might not have made it into the league if it were not for arguably the NBA's most legendary gigantic figure. That man was Wilt Chamberlain.Wilt Chamberlain was a giant among men, if there was a term to describe him. Back in the day when the average height of the NBA was merely about 6'5" during the 1960's and when centers were barely 6'10" and power forwards were 6'6", Chamberlain was a towering figure and had earned the nickname "Wilt the Stilt" because of such. But height was not Wilt Chamberlain's best feature.Tags: wilt chamberlain bio, wilt chamberlain basketball, golden state warriors basketball, philadelphia 76ers basketball, la lakers basketball, kareem abdul-jabbar, kobe bryant, bill russell, kevin durant, magic johnson, jerry west, julius erving, larry bird

However, none of them ever won as many accolades like Michael Jordan has during his 15 years in the National Basketball Association with the Chicago Bulls. Even though he played two years of his career with the Washington Wizards, Jordan will always be remembered for wearing the red and black in Chicago and joining the list of aforementioned Chicago sports legends.Nearly 20 years after his final season with the Bulls, there’s now a bronze sculpture showing Jordan’s infamous “jumpman” pose in front of the United Center – a place that many consider “the house that Jordan built.” But many in Chicago will never forget his name for bringing six championships to the city within the 1990s. There are still fans that wear his iconic number 23 uniform and hold current stars like Derrick Rose to the same expectations as the Bulls continue to return to the glory from 20 years ago.There’s a reason Jordan built up one of the greatest careers that anyone has ever seen, not only the NBA, but throughout professional sports. His name also transcended into clothing, pop culture, movies, music, and other sports like baseball. Still, it all starts with everything he’s accomplished in basketball – with more than 32,000 points, six Most Valuable Player awards, and more several individual distinctions for both offense and defense.Jordan once said that basketball “has been everything. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction.”Tags: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Derrick Rose

Not only does the extra point do a lot to change the course of an entire NBA game, but it is also the most efficient shot. The close-range layups and dunks are still the easiest shots in the NBA, but the three-point shot makes all the difference when it comes to increasing the offensive efficiency of any team or player. Today, almost all of the teams one sees in the NBA rely heavily on the three-pointer. Players have also been shooting the three-pointer more than ever. However, the NBA was not always reliant on the three-point shot. The shot was first introduced in the professional ranks back in the inaugural 1967-68 season of the American Basketball Association (before it was merged with the NBA). The late ABA commissioner George Mikan, arguably the NBA's first superstar, said that they introduced the three-point shot so that smaller players will have a competitive advantage against bigger players. However, though there are still super teams in today's era, the style has become more reliant on overall team play instead of just putting the ball in the hands of the team's three All-Stars. We saw the Golden State Warriors playing that way since they won the NBA title in 2015. Though they had many stars on their team, they relied more on spacing and ball movement to win games. This led to the current pace-and-space era where teams rely more on increasing the tempo of the game while spacing the floor with four or more shooters. While the three-pointer was a way for the ABA to compete with the NBA in terms of excitement, fans were not used to seeing players bombing away from 25 feet. Mikan said that it was their version of a "home run" and could get fans off their feet but was never a primary weapon for any team back then. It eventually disappeared when the NBA and the ABA completed their merger in the 70s.Tags: JJ Redick biography, JJ Redick book, books for basketball fans, orlando magic, manu ginobili
