    I think it would be between LeBron and Dwight. No, I'm not talking about a vertical. I'm talking about who can jump and touch the highest height.

    Does anyone have a website for NBA Players' verticals? 40 yard runs? Or anymore interesting stats such as that?

    I want to add a poll to this, but don't know which players you guys would consider for this. I'm sure if I tell a mod to enter about 5 names, they can create a poll. Thanks!

    Lets hear your opinions.

    LeBron is what always comes to mind. I`ve seen to many dunks he`s done when is head goes higher than the rim.

    Josh Smith, don't ask me why. I saw a clip of him once that convince me. 6'9" and his head almost touching the rim.

    Lebron doesn't just touch the rim, it goes far above it.

    Vince Carter? Jason Richardson? There's a lot of guys that can elevate, Dwyane Wade doesn't have a 40 plus vert but has crazy hangtime.

    Dwight kisses the rim. It is about who gets higher and since he is taller than Lebron and has a ridiculous arm span, he probably does get just as high, if not higher.

    Exhibit A

    Exhibit B

    Exhibit C

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone do any of those dunks. Impressive for a guy who is at best 6'6 (probably really just a hair over 6'4) and a guy who can only jump off of two feet.

    Travis Outlaw is an underrated athlete. As a jumper/leaper, He can jump as high, if not higher than LeBron and Josh Smith. He can touch the top of the backboard with ease. I'd have to say it's between Outlaw and Dwight Howard.

    LeBron, Josh or Dwight. Pure athletes.

    Vince posterizes much and does great dunks. Just like J-Rich, Kobe, T-Mac, Wade and others. But I don't see those guys jumping as high as those who were mentioned in the beginning.


    A little bit of OT: Damn that dunk over TimmyD by James was just amazing. ;D

    We didn't even consider KG. Could he be a possible winner?

    Although I really think its between LeBron and Dwight. And a winner would be about a difference of an inch. Both have amazing hops and great height.
