NBA superstars usually have a huge fan base, and fans are also happy to give their favorite NBA stars nicknames, which are generally related to their looks, playing styles and characteristics. Just like shaquille o'neal and Kobe Bryant, whom we are very familiar with, their nicknames aptly describe their strength and unparalleled momentum on the court. Do you know why tim duncan is called "Flying Demon"?

Duncan's floor flow play

Friends who pay attention to NBA events know that Duncan has always played the floor flow game. Players who play floor streaming games usually have poor physical fitness, and their jumping ability and explosive power are relatively average. They can't fly high on the court, but they have flexible feet on the ground. In fact, Duncan's physical indicators are top-notch, and the combination of height, strength and technology is perfect, so he can easily make a flying stream.

In fact, Duncan, who just entered the NBA, began to emerge. His excellent physical fitness and explosive performance on the court have been questioned by many teams. At that time, Duncan played very well and was once called "flying devil". Only later, Duncan experienced such a big knee injury as meniscus tear, which directly led to his absence from all the remaining games of the season.

Stone Buddha Duncan

Knees are not important to players. Duncan had to undergo surgery to remove the meniscus after suffering such a big injury as meniscus tear. After losing the meniscus, players' ability in explosive force and flexibility will be obviously weakened, and some players even have to end their basketball career because of losing the meniscus. Duncan returned to the NBA after his injury and began to hit the floor, becoming the familiar "stone Buddha" Duncan. In Duncan's early career, his physical fitness was outstanding and his dunk scoring ability was very strong. His physical data, including coordination, strength and defense, are first-class.

At that time, Duncan's play was very violent and was considered as a "violent dunk". He dunked easily and scored without pressure. All kinds of dunks simply hit his opponent and doubted his life. Only later, Duncan changed the floor playing style because of his knee injury, but with the golf bookmaker's ability to control the whole court and solid basic skills, even Duncan after the transformation still made his legend in NBA history. In the later years, when it comes to hitting the board at a 45-degree angle, we all know that it is Duncan's symbol.
