    Apparently Kedrick Brown. Well he should be able to with a 46 1/2 vert, but likely he won't. Lebron does jump higher then VC and I don't care what nobody says. He should be able to that too.

    lebron no doubt? and how the hell do you know this? have you seen him jump over a 7 footer? Have you seen him jump over anybody?

    imo tmac has just as much impact on his dunks then Lebron, but since everyone seems to be rubbing LJ's balls 24/7, lets create him not only into the perfect player, perfect advertiser, but lets make him the BEST DUNKER!

    oh and paul silas came out and said lebron could "touch the top of the backboard" and everyone believed it, come on!!

    The guy didnt even enter the dunk contest, does he think hes too special??

    Let him dunk on some players, enter the dunk contest, jump over a 7 footer, do a behind the back 360, off the backboard, and something worth remembering a couple time for a couple years, and i will then shut up.

    You gotta be amped up to that first of all. + the fact he's taller then Vince and jumps higher. He could probaly jump over Ming. I don't know about him touching the top and was dissapointed that he didn't enter the contest. If he does next year, he should try and get the top and dunk after words. I still never seen anyone get the top. If he even gets 2 inches from the top, it would be crazy.

    hes 2 inches taller then vince, and where is the proof that he jumpes higher, did he show anyone that he jumps higher then vince? vince carter has had some amazing dunks in his day, dont even sit there and say lebron jumps higher when there is no FACT that states he jumps higher. Lebron has never even dunked on anyone!

    That isn't a fact as far as I'm concerned. Didn't u see the Powerade dunk contest. Lebrons eyes was leveled with the rim. So his head was at least 5 inches above. The highest I seen Vince get up was a 1/2 head below the rim. Brons 2 inches taller, so minus that, he still has 3 inches of his head above the rim. I'm probaly not the only one that thinks that Lebron jumps higher.

    What are u talking about? I like J-Rich as the best dunker currently in the league. I was replying to the pic posted saying who else can do that. I was saying that he should be able to that as well. The topic with this issue was that I positive the Lebron jumps higher then Vince. But I didn't state that he was a better dunker then Vince use to be. U can jump higher then an individual, but it doesn't make u a better dunker because of that. Primary example: Kedrick Brown. U would never think he could get up like that because of not ever seeing him in highlight reals.

    lebron does not jump higher then vince. hes taller, thats why you assume he jumpes higher, Lebron would NEVER be able to jump over a 7 footer.

    Didn't I have mathematical explanation to why I think he jumps higher. He's 2 inches taller I know this. And just because of that fact alone, why wouldn't it be possible for Lebron to do that as well. I assume Lebron has longer legs, so it should be a bit easier for him to jump over someone that tall. Look, if VC was the same height, he could get his forhead at the rim. If VC was 6-8 with his42 inch leap= 2inches above the rim. So forhead leveled with the rim, not eyes. That's how I came up with my evaluation.

    acctually lebron has stubby shorter legs then usual 2 guards, he has a big upper body, thick stubby legs.

    Never noticed that, cause his shorts are so long. It's hard to tell, but his shoes look so heavy. I've noticed that. I guess I gotta look at him better.

    it showed him standing next to carmelo awhile back, and their short length was about the same, and carmelo's legs were so much longer, his knees were higher up. I noticed it at first, but i didnt really notice it until i heard some commentators are ESPN talking about it a couple times, then im like oh ok they are right, he has short stubby legs.

    That's the most unsual thing for someone to be that tall and have a longer upper body then lower body. It makes me think if he had a typical nba player body, he could jump even higher. I've seen my fair share of short stubby leg people, they have limited jumping potential.
