Foreword
Fans who have played basketball know that the flexible fat man is one of the bugs on the wild court, and in the NBA, the temple of basketball, tall and muscular players can always cause fans to scream and cheer. However, in this league that seems to belong only to strong men and thin people, there are some fat players who are not so "standard" in stature, with excellent basketball skills and unique game style, have won the respect and recognition of fans, and become the core of the team, if these 5 fat people are at the peak of the team, they can achieve three consecutive NBA championships with their eyes closed, provided that they are not lazy, after all, fat people often have lazy habits.
1. Shaquille O'Neal
As one of the most dominant centers in NBA history, O'Neal is huge. At one point, he weighed an astonishing 150 kilograms, but this did not affect his performance on the field, and he can be called a representative of the agile dead fat man. With excellent physical fitness and basket skills, O'Neal is almost unbeatable on the inside, a back-to-back and turnaround that has almost shaken off all of the NBA's most famous centers. His dunks and offense under the basket are intimidating to opponents, and his defense is just as a headache. O'Neal at his peak is the existence of three consecutive FMVP, and those who have the inside line win the world, and the selection of gods and the selection of sharks without gods is also the biggest recognition of fans for the "big shark" O'Neal. Although O'Neill is called O'Neal, if he sits on the inside, it will be the greatest confidence for any team that aims to compete for the championship.
2. Nikola Jokic
As one of the best interior players in the NBA world today, Jokic, nicknamed "Mr. Jokic", has made the small-market team Denver Nuggets a long-term favorite for the NBA championship with his all-round individual performance. Jokic's offensive talent was amazing, and against all 29 NBA teams except the Nuggets, Jokic had a triple-double. In the 2022-2023 season, he led the Nuggets to successfully sweep the Lakers led by James and thick eyebrows in the Western Conference Finals, advanced to the NBA finals and finally won the championship. Imagine the interior twin towers composed of O'Neal and Jokic, which is believed to be a nightmare for all teams in the league.
3. Charles Barkley
Barkley, nicknamed "Flying Pig", is very fat, and his big butt has become 1.98 meters of confidence for him to serve as the fourth player, and his perennial weight is maintained at more than 220 pounds, so that Barkley's figure is always exceeded. Although Chinese fans are more likely to remember Barkley kissing the ass of a donkey because he lost a bet. But Barkley was also a basket wreaking havoc at the peak of his career, with all kinds of steals and fast breaks and violent dunks, once led the Suns to the NBA Finals, the small technique of finishing under the basket is very delicate and soft, Barkley can cut 20 points and 10 rebounds all year round, and he is also one of the shortest rebounding kings in NBA history, he is a luxurious upgrade of Zion Williamson, if it were not for the same era as Jordan, he would not have been without a championship for life. It is believed that the forward lineup formed by him and Mr. Yoo and O'Neal will sweep the league.
Fourth, James Harden
Harden's big belly will become the object of ridicule from fans almost every offseason, but Harden's offensive explosiveness and absolute strength as a scoring guard are undoubted, as an existence that has scored 2800+ points in a single season, James's performance during the Rockets period has attracted countless fans. Double-powered guard Harden, with his excellent weight and physicality, coupled with his own sense of rhythm, has repeatedly been able to break through the opponent's defense, get fouled and go to the free throw line. Harden can have the title of both assist king and scoring champion, which shows his personal strength and ball quotient. Although Harden at his peak is slightly fat, he is definitely a big killer on the offensive end, after all, he also has the ability to compete with Curry in three-point combat.
5. Luka Doncic
"Chubby" Luka Doncic is undoubtedly one of the most passable stars in the fat man, since entering the NBA through the draft in 2018, Doncic's maturity and sophistication have become his label, he has scored 73 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in a single game, he is the core of the Mavericks' team, and he is also the soul of the Mavericks since Dirk Nowitzki. Doncic, who is mature and well-rounded, has been listed as a candidate for MVP all year round at a young age, and he sits in the backcourt to sort out the team's offense, I believe that the offense of this fat team will be smooth, after all, Doncic is able to make interior players like Gafford and Lively eat cake and vomit, not to mention the interior line where O'Neal and Mr. Yoo are in charge.
