Throughout its history and the present NBA, athletes possess a lot of skills and abilities, with prominent ones being highlighted in their careers in shooting, defense, offense, and dunking.
Lack of athleticism in NBA players often results in their lack of skills, with the most prominent and difficult being their ability to dunk despite having good height.
6-foot-3 Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio, who has great passing ability to put up deadly shots on the court, lacks in his dunking ability despite his lead in terms of offense and defense.
A valuable player during his tenure with the Pheonix Suns, 6-foot-3 former NBA star Steve Nash, second among the best free throw shooters in NBA history, lacks in terms of his dunking ability.
Carrying great offense and shooting skills at a height of 6-foot-4, Troy Daniels, the former Denver Nuggets shooting guard, however, lacks in terms of his defensive and dunking skills.
Former Miami Heat champion and first leading three-point scorer in NBA, 6-foot-8 Jason Kapono, regarded as a skilled shooter and offensive player, lacked a great deal in terms of his dunking ability.
Leading the regular season in three-point percentage for the 2011–12 season, 6-foot-10 former small and power forward Steve Novak's non-dunking ability was one of the biggest drawback in his career.
Besides them, other NBA players with non-dunking ability include TJ McConnell, Fred VanVleet, Patty Mills, D.J. Augustin, and J.J. Barea.
