We all agree that there are few things in basketball compared with an awesome flight that a player takes in order to make a stunning dunk. But let’s hear it for those who… don’t even need a jump to throw a hammer!

Let’s check them out!

Gheorghe Muresan

You may find it strange, but Muresan is the only representative from the NBA on the list. Also, the only European one, so we just have to start with him. The Romanian giant (7′ 7 ”) made a name for himself in Europe with Pau Orthez before joining the Washington Bullets (now Wizards) in the NBA. Muresan spent the majority of his NBA career in Washington and his highlight-year was 1994-1995 when he averaged 14,5 points plus 9.6 rebounds per game. He also played for the New Jersey Nets, finishing his stint in the best league int he planet with 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds per game.

He has also starred in the kinda tear-jerking “My Giant” (correct – he’s the giant in the title) with Billy Crystal.
