    Francis was as tall he would be jumping higher than James.

    ^ Huh? I don't know about that. I feel like Lebron jumps higher then Francis. Not by much though but I believe Francis jumps around 43 inches and Lebron 45. But man I heard James could hit 47 and I'm starting to believe that now. I saved this gif and thanks Infante. And man his elbow is almost leveled with the top of the box. It was probaly about 5 inches off of the top of the box man. That's crazy.

    Yeah Lebron has some crazy vertical, that is amazing, nothing else to describe it.
    I just hope people don't classify him as the next MJ just because he made a crazy a** dunk. There are alot of other characteristics which constitute a great player, right now though Lebron James is a good player, and on his way up (pardon the pun) to becoming a great.
    Nonetheless an amazing dunk [​IMG] this one is going to get saved thats for sure.

    I remember reading a slam article on him, and his teammates said that in practice he once went for a half court alley-oop thrown by Kevin Ollie, and it is claimed that they all seen him get so high that his hands were at the top of the backboard. Oh yeah, he put it down as well.
    The trainer said he was so amazed he left, everyone else just went silent.
    Now thats a clip to get. [​IMG]

    Yeah I hurt myself just watching that dunk. really... I did.
    I way all crazy yelling about how he had to be 14 feet high, and my girlfriend who was in the other room wouldn't believe me because I tend to stretch the truth, until she saw it herself of course.

    That dunk alone was better than any dunk contest.

    I believe that cause his hands is almost at the top of the backboard on this dunk. + his arm is a bit slanted so his hand may have been at the top of the backboard if it was fully straightened. Man his bottom lip is over the rim and definately if was close enough put his armpit in the rim and put his elbow in a 11 foot rim he's so high.

    It's in the shoes.


    No, I dunno what it is.But that was a crazy jump. Seriously, he gets higher than Slamball players...and he ain't using a trampoline!!

    I apologize for my bad grammar.

    I really doubt that, I remeber reading an article that said Lebron and Brown were trying to have a little dunk contest against each other in practice, the article said Bron did some dunk Kedrick couldnt do, so I am assuming he doesnt have a 52 inch vert.

    Yeah Kedrick has a 46 1/2 inch leap and if Pietrus could jump that high how come he wasn't in the dunk contest? That's 4 feet and 4 inches high mang.
