<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Banks:</div><div class="quote_post">Uh where did you get 43 from? It was 42 inches when he entered in the league, but last year I heard that it was 41 from SI. J-Rich: 6'4? He's 6'6, 6'7 buddy Quentin Richardson: Um, I don't what Quentin Richardson you're talking about. He has a 40 Inch Vertical. I don't think he can do that, but your basically saying he has no hops T-Mac: Never? He's very athletic, and his vertical is at 42 (41 now), and he has long arms. Vince: Not anymore? His vertical was once 44, now its 42, and he's got enough athelticsm to do that.</div> what website did you get that from for the verticles ? I think everybody is missing Desmand mason, i have a video of him, he can definitely get up there trust me. If you want to see the video PM me

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting 02civic:</div><div class="quote_post">^ ya no kidding man tracy can do that no prob. vince could still do it. Francis could do it, he had the highest vertical of all the guys in the infamous dunk contest, boy can sky. J-Rich sure can, dont care how tall he is, he's got a better vertical than kobe. Jones, stands a chance, maybe the weakest of the ones i mentioned, but he has a shot. Stro for sure, anderson for sure and Q-Rich has more than a decent chance at it. boys calves are like tree trunks.</div> Francis can't do it...are you high......his 44 inch leap doesn't make up for his height or his arm reach....also have you watched him...he can just dunk at a full sprint let alone get up that high. Ridiculous to say he could. Also I agree with RJ...if they could do it...why havn't they? I think they would want to shop there talents.
God, it's hard to get any info on verticals. One site seemed reasonable, until it listed MJ as 48 inches... http://kalenm69.tripod.com/nbaverticals This one lists Jordan at 43... http://groups.msn.com/Streetballplayas/vts.msnw I think everything else is pretty reasonable, because I've seen quite a few sites and the numbers are pretty conistent.
Kadour Ziani (French Exhibition Dunker) - 56" ^Are you kidding me!!!!!!There's no way a guy can jump4ft and 8 inches without a running start.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Lakers2006:</div><div class="quote_post"> </div> Those blocks take no hops at all. He just got a good look at the block. But see here? Kobe coming OFF A SCREEN and swats the shit out of T-Mac. Get out of here with that whack ass crap man.
All theese videos are deceiving. They are all from different angles and make the player either look higher or lower.
^Exactly. Kobe got blocked by Tracy because, first of all he jumped off his right leg in the middle of the lane that already had Jumaine O'Neal going after him. Duh. What player hasn't been blocked? That's even happened to Michael Jordan plenty of times. As I recall, Kobe has won an All-Star MVP. Has Tracy? No.
