NBA He's Not Human Moments..

These NBA players are not human. >> Up ahead blocked. >> Lively denied.

>> Oh, what do you do? Wendy three. >> And first we got the time that Greek Freak threw down a dunk from the free throw line.

>> Here he comes again. You see where he took off? Oh my goodness.

Doing that in a game is insane. But Wimby makes Giannis look normal cuz it looks like he's playing on a mini hoop. Clowny trying to go right back at KJ.

Lemonyama right there. And then again came over late. Lemonyama wants it from the logo.

Two blocks and three and 15 seconds. This man's a Chico. But Aaron Gordon is a trampoline cuz during a game on Christmas Day, he absolutely ruined Langie Sham's holiday.

>> Oh my goodness. >> Drnk this in with your eyes, ladies and gentlemen. But LeBron's making grown men look like little boys cuz he caught a dunk by literally jumping over a player.

>> James comes flying in from the right corner. >> But if John Moran's coming down the lane, get out of the way cuz Wimby tried to block him. And John made him look stupid.

John the count, but we love it. >> After a dunk that nasty, it should have counted. But Russell Westbrook has pogo sticks for legs cuz he makes the rim look like it's made out of plastic.

Westbrook elevating the twohanded stretch arrow. >> But Michael Jordan's from another planet cuz this insane finish defy gravity. >> Jordan past Petra.

Oh yes, yes. >> But some players make plays we'll never see again. cuz after Blake Griffin missed a chance to block his opponent, he did a 360 midair and recovered.

>> Oh, heck of a play by Griffin. >> Wow. Wow.

That man's a ninja. But Shaden Sharp's dunk was a gift from God cuz he absolutely baptized his defender. >> Look at that.

Outlet pass grabbed by. OH, SATAN SHARP cocked it back. A vicious right hand hammer.

But Steph Curry threw up a prayer that was answered cuz he hit a four-point play with his left hand. >> Step back trying to draw another FOUL AND IT GOES IN. STEPH CURRY with a circus shot and the foul.

>> This man can't miss and LeBron can't age cuz at 40 years old he did this >> to the [Applause] left hand and he makes the steal. James went in with an off hand and low. >> He made it look so easy and so did Giannis cuz he threw down an insane dunk and completely cleared Tim Hardway.

>> Trailing the line. >> Yiannis Koopo from Chris Middleton. >> Hardway didn't even know what had happened, but I don't know how Joic is so strong cuz he almost made a fullcourt tip.

>> Three and a quarter. Look at Joic. Look at this.

Man, he literally tapped that thing the length of the floor and it was pretty close. He has hands of steel, but Lefonso Ellis has hands of glue. Cuz when his opponent tried to poster him, he snatched the ball right out his hands.

>> Oh, are you kidding me? Lonso Ellis took it right away from him. >> But John Moran is taking blocks to the next level cuz one-handed blocks aren't good enough for him.

>> With the deflection against B. What an incredible block. >> I mean, Unreal is right.

This guy just look where he is when he catches it at the top. >> He smacked his head on the backboard. That's not human.

And neither is Kobe Bryant cuz most players that suffer injuries to their shooting arm wouldn't play. But Kobe decided to play left-handed twice. And after breaking his right hand, he uses left to torch the Mavericks.

Here goes Kobe. Kobe's able to put one in left hand. Kobe left >> and after tearing his shoulder, he tore up the Hornets lefty.

Left-handed jump shot. >> But if we're talking players that aren't human, we got to talk about J. R.

Smith cuz one dunk turned him into Superman. >> Jr. Smith.

We just saw men fight. RIGHT ON the cowboy. >> Jr.

Smith. >> But Shannon Brown needs a cape cuz he had one block that almost flew through the roof. >> Browns it up.

Brown up there. Took it away from West and the crowd. >> The crowd on their feet.

>> The ref should have been fine for that dog. That was a clean block. But Zion is just dirty cuz the way he steals the ball from his opponents is like taking candy from a baby.

>> Zion rims it home. >> Oh yeah, it's time to get in the gym. >> In the corner and ball misses the three and Zion takes it away from Giannis and a foul.

>> Oh my god. >> Williamson just vice grips the basketball and takes it away. >> What are they feeding that man?

He's too damn big. But not like Steven Adams cuz he stopped the fight by picking up his opponent. >> Steven Adams literally lifted up Tony Bradley who is not a small guy.

He literally just lifted him up and carried him away from John Mor. >> But Vince Carter was fighting gravity cuz in the Olympics he hurdled a sevenfooter with a sloppy pass. Carter [Applause] >> and the crowd responds.

But LeBron should have got a gold medal for long jump cuz in a game against the Bucks, he threw down a dunk from the free throw line. >> Nobody's going to catch up. Look at that hit.

But we're going from one goat to another cuz when Michael Jordan was almost 40 years old, he pulled off a block that no one that age should ever be able to do. Mercer on THE RUN. OH, WHAT A PLAY.

WHAT A DEFENSIVE PLAY. A TWO-HAND BLOCK STEEL. Game set.

Man, watch this. Here comes Mercer on in. Michael not there, but there he is.

>> And his former teammate Dennis Rodman is just insane cuz he almost had the greatest save in NBA history. Robin diving for the rebound. What an effort that was.

Incredible effort by Rodman. Insane effort. Watch where he goes.

His hands go right to the camera. Watch this. >> But you never know what you're going to see in the NBA like John Moran and his cat-like reflexes cuz he got to steal against the Pelicans without looking.

Big lead for New Orleans. Wouldn't that stop it? Here comes Mor.

He'll fly and get it to go. Taking it right down the boulevard and he ties the game at 58. >> And Kawhi Leonard took a page out of J's book when he did this.

>> Excellent. >> Oh my goodness, what a play. Diving stop by Leonard.

Goodness, what a tremendous play. >> No wonder they call him the claw. But we got to mention the black mamba cuz after Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles, he decided he wouldn't be like most players and get carried off the court.

Instead, he walked to the free throw line and got his points out of him. Got it. The other end if in fact he gets to the other end before a foul.

There's a nice foul. They might try to get him out of the game. They have to.

Yeah. >> In fact, this moment was so crazy Pacers Tyresese Hallebertton who also Tories Achilles couldn't fathom how Kobe was even able to walk. >> I will tell you though, after I got hurt, I was on the ground.

I was like, "Let me walk. Kobe walked. I'm walking.

So when I got up and went to take a step, there was no >> help me, HELP ME, HELP ME. >> YEAH, there was no chance. The fact that Kobe shot a free throw and walked off is unbelievable.

>> That's that mama mentality. >> It's unbelievable. >> And Kobe's truly one of one.

And Vince Carter is in a league of his own, too, cuz he turned a terrible pass into one of the greatest dunks the NBA has ever seen. >> The fans got what they wanted, >> but Larry Nance Jr. tried to outdo him cuz he turned Kevin Durant into a screen saver.

KCP in the middle comes Larry dance. Look at Larry Nance. Throw that baby down.

Oh my goodness, Larry. You didn't do that. >> But there are some dunks you have to see to believe.

Like the time Derrick Jones Jr. was too far from the hoop to dunk it, but high enough to throw it in >> against the Southeast. OH MY.

PLAY of the day for the Heat. Derek Jones. A cloud piercing.

Unbelievable. >> That man just broke physics and Dwight Howard broke the shot clock. >> Dwight Howard is right there.

I just pulled down the shot clock. Guess what we need here is a delay to Dwight Howard pulling down the basket and the shot clock collapsing from behind. >> Now Klay Thompson's only breaking records cuz in 2018 he did something no player had ever done.

Hitting an NBA high 14 three-pointers. just dribbles into a three and burries another one. Klay Thompson again make it six and seven.

Cycling around Thompson Thompson again. Clay in the corner again. I don't think Clay will come out until he gets 40.

And I think he has. Yes. Clay's got another one.

>> Catch and shoot free. There it is. for NBA history.

You got it. 14 threes in a game has never been done until tonight. >> Dude shoots like a robot.

He's automatic. And what if I told you John Moran has a secret advantage? Cuz he has a deformity that helps him dominate.

>> How do you guys adjust for having one arm that's way longer than the other? >> Man, you know my secret. See, I thought we was keeping a secret a secret, man.

for everybody in the league, your scouts, whoever got the Grizzlies when y'all play us. Yeah, I do got a longer arm is the left. I mean, y'all not going to stop it, but since the secret out now, there you go.

My left hand bigger as well. >> But Vince Carter's part of a different species cuz at 42 years old, this man could not stop dunking. >> Man, you really got to make a difference here.

>> Oh, that'll help. >> Terrific as a Hornet couple of YEARS AGO. WOW.

>> Here's Carter. Defense Carter. loose ball.

Lynn gets it. Missed it. Hammered back in.

Go. Gets it back. Don't take it away.

Miss and one for all time sake. But Anthony Edwards fuels his body in the craziest way possible cuz he gets ready to torch his competition by eating garbage. See, most NBA players stay in shape by eating clean, high protein meals.

But Anthony Edwards has his own diet. Hot fries. >> The best chips that are ever made.

I've been eating them since I was probably like 5 years old. I prefer these over any chips in the world. I probably eat like three a day.

You do the math. Was that 21 bags? Yeah, I eat that many.

Probably more though, for real. But that's nothing compared to Dennis Rodman cuz he's gotten ready for the NBA finals by partying in Vegas. See, during the 1998 playoffs, the Bulls were getting ready to repeat as NBA champions.

But after an entire season of putting his body on the line, Dennis was feeling burnt out. Most people would ask for a day off of practice to rest, watch TV, and recover. But Dennis had other plans.

>> When Dennis wants to tell me something I knew is not something that I want to hear. Dennis says, "I need a vacation. " And I look at Phil said, "Phil, what do you mean vacation?

" He says, "You needs a vacation. You need some time off to let loose. If anybody need a vacation, I need a vacation.

We look at Dennis said, "Dennis, what are you going to do? " >> He says, "Well, I need to go to Vegas. " >> Can your vacation be like 48 hours?

Go straight to the airport. Boom. They don't hear and see Dennis for 48 hours.

>> Most players would have been hung over or extremely tired. But Dennis isn't human. >> Phil's now his whole motive is to get Dennis back in shape.

Everybody starts running in a line and Phil blows a whistle. Whoever's at the back run to the front. Now, you can't stop.

Whoever's in front controls the pace. So I tell everybody in that group say, "Look, whoever gets in the front of that row, slow down to a walk. We're just going to jog and jog and jog and jog.

" Dennis takes off. Boom. Now he blows the whistle.

Now we cannot stop until we get back in front of Dennis. It took us four laps to catch up to Dennis. And clearly Dennis vacation paid off cuz the Bulls went on to win the NBA finals.

That's legendary. But there's a legend about the Thompson twins you won't believe cuz they were supposed to be under 6 ft tall and manifested their height. Casar and Aean Thompson had dreams to play in the NBA since they were kids.

But there was one small problem. Their mom was 5'6 and their dad was 5'11. And they knew if they wanted to play in the NBA, they had to be taller than that.

So every day for years, they manifested they'd be as tall as LeBron James. And well, it worked cuz somehow they both ended up being 6'7. >> I think it was our dad's cuz he's like big in manifestation.

So he wanted to uh he wanted us to manifest everything. Like my mom's like 5'6, my dad's like 5'11. So we wrote like 69 all over the bed because that's how tall we wanted to be.

>> And not only did they become tall, but they also became freak athletes >> as a mid timmer [Applause] [Music] >> for the rebound to Harden. James Harden to the basket. Blocked from behind by a star conference so smart.

OH MY GOODNESS. OH NO. OH NO, HE DIDN'T.

OH, HE JUST GOT PRECIOUS TO CHEW UP. >> Test it all the way. Fade ahead to Assar Thompson down the lane.

Throws it down. >> Those kids are special and size does matter. Ask Kawhi Leonard.

Cuz the only reason he made the NBA is the size of his hands. See, the average NBA player is 6'7. But even though Kawhai is 6'7, he's anything but average.

Cuz his hands give him unique powers that allow him to play like a sevenfooter. >> And his hands might even be more out of proportion. A massive shacklike 11 and a half inches wide.

>> Shot clock at nine. Murray takes it and tried to jam and was rejected at the rim. It was Kawhi Leonard is doing it all.

My goodness, what a defensive play. >> And it looked like he blocked it with one of those fingers. >> But Dennis Smith Jr.

was born with a different gift cuz he has an extra body part found in less than 20% of humans. See, Dennis Smith Jr. was one of the bountiest players in the league.

And with a vertical jump of 48 in, it was clear he was a one-of-akind athlete. But no one knew the half of it until he tore his ACL. Cuz most players that suffer this injury are out for one year.

However, Dennis was different cuz when doctors examined his leg, they found out he somehow had an extra ACL. >> The the rumor is you tore your ACL and found out 7 days later that you had two ACL's. >> Yep.

Yep. I tore it. >> You had a spare tire, huh?

>> Yeah, I did, man. Thought that was a lie. No, that's a fact.

That's a fact. They got um they got into the surgery room, you know, standard procedure. And when I when I wake up, he was telling me, "You got two ACL's like you had an extra one.

" He say 20% of humans got it and you can only find it during surgery. That made my recovery process hella easy about 2 3 months before I was back on the court. >> Bouncy as hell.

>> My vert went up. I think the extra one was better. >> I should have been got rid of the first one.

>> But a torn ACL couldn't stop Rajan Rondo either cuz he tore Midame and finished with a triple double. See, in 2013, Rajan was balling against the Hawks when all of the sudden one play changed his life. He tried to make a jump pass and tore his ACL.

Now, most players would have been done for the year, but Rajan didn't even realize he tore it, so he kept playing and no one knows how. But he finished the game with 16 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. Well, after the loss, he noticed his leg was swollen, and he knew with the Celtics playing on ABC in two days, he had to heal what he thought was a hyperextended muscle.

But when he saw the team doctor, he was shocked. >> I go about to get ready for the game. I take my shower.

The doctor like, "Oh, go sit on the table for a second. " I'm like, "For what? " He did the ACL check on me.

He was like, "Uh, you not playing today. " I'm like, "What? " >> But LeBron James won't let a major injury happen to him cuz his entire day is designed to take care of his body.

See, most people don't know this, but LeBron spends $1. 5 million on his body every year. And this goes toward a personal trainer, a personal chef, and intense recovery.

I'm talking massages, red light therapy. He even spends close to half his day sleeping. But there's two methods of recovery that LeBron does that's only seen in the movies.

Cryotherapy, which literally freezes his body. >> When you get into the machine, you'll be about minus 110° C and then it will drop to about anywhere between minus 145°. Your skin temperature will drop 40 to 50° basically to freezing.

And this tricks the brain into, you know, thinking that you're freezing. The brain triggers a systemic reaction in the bloodstream that creates anti-inflammatory proteins. Those proteins are what decreases inflammation >> and recovery for his cells and a hypabaric chamber.

>> It's a kind of a no-brainer if you can kind of have the time and the investment to use it. And uh you know he'll be in there for about an hour and a half, which is probably about the optimal time to be in there for 10:00. >> 10:00.

You got it. Uh he's he's enjoyed using this thing, especially during this time of year where where every little edge counts. And at the rate he takes care of himself, he might play another five years.
