Don t believe it, the NBA relies on "rushing in" to play dominant power, and only these five players, James is only ranked second.

In the NBA, a league that emphasizes strength and technology, there is a type of players whose offense is simple and crude - rushing under the basket! If you don’t go around the corners and don’t play delicate operations with you, you just rely on speed, explosive power, and bounce to knock you away, jump, and knock it over. They are not shooting machines, but attacking the basket monsters. Once they start at a speed, you can only pray that they will make mistakes.

Fifth place: Derek Ross

Height: 1.91 meters

Rose at his peak was like a sports car filled with nitrogen. When he won the MVP in 2011, he broke through the No. 1 in the Frequency League, with a shooting percentage of 61% at the basket. Almost no one could react to his change of direction + a throttle. In the 2012 playoff G1, his breakthrough lever before tearing the cruciate ligament is still heartbreaking, because that is the most true portrayal of Ross - the attacking monster who puts his body to the limit. At the peak, Ross averaged 9.3 points in the penalty area, far higher than the point guard in the same period.

4th place: Ja Morant Height: 1.91 meters

Jia Morant is a modern version of the "small cannon in the air". Although it is only 1.91 meters, his air stagnation, explosive power and courage are not inferior to those of the 2-meter-long. In the 2022 game against the Pacers, he took off and dunked Brussels with one jump, which was the best of the year. That is not tactical design, that is pure confidence and explosive power. In 2023, he scored 52 points in a single game, of which 32 points came from the penalty area, like a cheat. Morant's attacking basket style is extremely extreme. Once he starts to break out, the opponent's inside can basically choose to foul or watch him take off.

Third place: Russell Westbrook

Height: 1.91 meters

Peak Westbrook is a "nuclear-powered tomahawk human". His unreasonable breakthroughs and dunks kept hitting the basket like he was installed in a clockwork. In the 2017 MVP season, he averaged 9.7 points per game and was the first in the league guard. The most classic goal is against the Rockets in 2013. He grabbed the rebound and played a single fast break and dunked Asik in 7 seconds. The whole action was like a flash of lightning, and whoever stopped him flew. Westbrook never takes a detour. His playing style is "front-facing". Even if he is hated, he will smash the basket. He is the spokesperson for playing brute force.

Second place: LeBron James

Height: 2.06 meters

LeBron's dominance in attacking the basket can be described as "barbaric". At his peak, once he accelerated from the backcourt, he was like a high-speed train, and the defenders did not dare to collide head-on. In 2013, the Eastern Conference Finals vs. Pacers G1, he broke through the buzzer-beating three-man layup and almost started from the three-point line in one go. He made more than 8,000 shots in his career, the first in history. Even at the age of 38, he can still break through Jokic in overtime and score a layup in the 2023 playoffs. He is not a dunk-type attacking monster, but a crushing existence, and he eats his opponent with strength and pace.

No. 1: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Height: 2.11 meters

Antetokounmpo is the "monster experiment" in modern basketball, and his way of attacking the basket is simply unreasonable. In the 2021 finals, he scored 50 points against the Suns G6, most of which came from the penalty area, and the opponent could not stop it. He only needs to start in one step and rush into the penalty area from the three-point line is almost completed in 2 steps, and no one can fill the position in time. He has a masterpiece in the 2020 game against the Hornets, who started from the midfield and completed the tomahawk dunk in 3 steps, and the audience was stunned. His breakthrough was not technical, but overwhelming physical ability, like a buffalo rushing around.
