Fred Jones 40'.. The Slam Dunk contest was complete garbage this year. Did anyone actually make a dunk in the last rounds? I'm glad J-Rich lost though, I think he's a punk. BTW : How do they measure verts in live NBA games anyway?
I still don't believe DeShawn Stevenson has a vert of 44". Wasn't he in a dunk contest a few years ago? I know he lost, did anyone see it and remember it? Did he get anywhere close to head-against-rim or anything?
Forget NBA dunkers, HOOK MITCHELL.... he had to have like a 58" vert. or somethign maybe a little smaller, but huge still. 5'9" dunking over the hood of cars.(where the engine is) Also doing 360's over people sitting down.

He's in that college hoops thread and Deshawn was in the 2k1 dc. And his head wasn't really that close to the rim. He did alot of shimmy shaking that was getting annoying.
I thought Desmond Mason jumped way higher than that. ANd I'm surprised that Kedrick Brown jumps that high. Pretty much weight to be bringing up to dunk.
I was surprised at first too, but that's how I got introduced to this forum. Someone saying that VC had a 50, and seeing Kedrick Brown up there wit'em. D-Mase did get his head leveled with rim 1 time last year with the Sonics. He's like 6'4-6'5, so he got up about 43 to 44 inches on that dunk.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Magic Johnson:</div><div class="quote_post">Kedrick "the J-Kidd slapper" Brown, whoa, what a vertical almost 50", does anyone actually have a 50" vertical anywhere, streetballers maybe? Speedy Claxton can dunk? I never knew that. Thanks for sharing, very interesting to see those names up there. Francis and B Dizzle sure jump high.</div> Yes theres a AND1 player called 50 who can jump 50 inches vert
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NTC187:</div><div class="quote_post">Yes theres a AND1 player called 50 who can jump 50 inches vert</div> He hasnt got a 50inch vert...Its just a name.He has major hops maybe 44/45" but not 50.Its just an exageration.
^ Yeap, really cause his head doesn't exactly go way over the rim or anything. Isn't 6'6, he should be kissing the rim if he could get up 50. His dunks are pretty sick though, off the shot clock 1 hand throw down.

But maybe it is a gimmick, I dunno.
^ He was saying some guy told him he had a 50. Pretty positive that he doesn't, he does have sick dunks though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">btw, looking back in this thread, Mitchell does not have a 58'' inch vertical...i suspect high forties....</div> well yeah, but realllly high forties then, cuz to be 5'9" and 360 over someone lik ein a chair, or jump over a car, come on thats crazy! I'd say like 48-50 or something.
