Just something to ponder:

This year; it appears that 4 future nfl guys broke a 40" vertical (no step)....

In the history of the NBA combine, no one has! (according to this)

Basketball is not as much about jumping or even athleticism as many think.

Maybe not. But you have to have a bigger skillset in basketball than football.

Hard to imagine Michael Shumard had a better vertical than Nate Robinson.

Hot

From the link:

Below is a list of some of the reported top scores by a variety of NBA players. These results have not been confirmed.


I would assume those are max verticals as opposed to no step..... it matches Vince Carter's.

Some of those verts look off. That are they're just hard to believe.

Will Bynum with only a 33" vert?

Some of these guys improved.... peak/prime is probably mid to late 20's. Most of these guys were around 20 when they tested.....

You're probably right. These are all pre-draft numbers. It lists Dwight Howard at 6'9".

For real. To me, Shaquille O'Neal is the most physically impressive specimen in NBA history. He or LeBron James. I also hear stories about Wilt.

DH is only 6'9" and some change.

Deandre has the same standing reach as Shaq....

Wilt was a freak. There are about a dozen rule changes due to wilt.... he use to "dunk" his free throws.

There was a small forward or big guard from Kentucky Wildcats about ten years ago. Can't remember his name, but he had 45" vertical leap or something bananas.

David Thompson had 48" inch vertical. Sounds like a tall tale, but I believe it. Best jumper I've ever seen.

Not a no step.
That was max vertical.
