An excerpt from this biography book on Brandon Ingram''s story:

Everyone knows that basketball is all about developing and mastering a certain set of skills that fit the style of play you prefer. The game is all about knowing the fundamentals and sticking to the development and mastery of those fundamentals until you reach a certain level where you can basically excel in basketball while relying on those skills.

Nevertheless, what is equally true is that a person''s physical attributes are just as important in helping a basketball player excel in the NBA. You need to be tall, relative to your playing position, if you want to stand out and become better than all of the other guys playing at your spot. But the one aspect about a player''s physical attributes that was often overlooked in the past but is now one of the biggest factors of what makes an NBA superstar is his wingspan.

Throughout the long history of the NBA, there was not a lot of hype surrounding a player''s wingspan or length. For example, as dominant of a defensive center as Bill Walton was when he was at UCLA and in the NBA, he never really knew what his exact wingspan was because he never really paid any attention to it back then. But that did not mean that wingspan did not play a role in how a player was able to dominate the NBA game even from the early days of the league.

Many of the league''s greatest players were able to climb up to the mountaintop precisely because they had the length that allowed them to excel. At 7''2", Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was said to have incredibly long arms and could easily throw up those skyhooks with ease over the top of any defender. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, two of the greatest shooting guards in the history of the league, played at about 6''6" but sported wingspans of nearly seven feet long. And despite being an undersized center during the "Golden Age" of that position in the NBA during the 1990s, the 6''10" Alonzo Mourning was able to dominate the defensive end and grab rebounds thanks to his wingspan of nearly 7''7".
