50" vertical would put his head 1" above the rim. I don't think his head is getting at the rim, but it is still pretty impressive. He looks bigger than 5'11, too. I wonder what kind of wingspan he has?

That doesn't look like a 10' goal
Cant always tell from video but if you pause it at certain points and kinda measure based on what he says his height is and how high is feet are off the ground, it certainly appears to be 10 feet
Go to the 1:01 point of the video and pause it at the point he's directly over the guy passing him the lob. If that guy is about 6 ft, the dunkers feet appear to be at about 3.5-4ft off the ground with slight knee bend. If the dunker is really 5-11 then the rim seems to be 10 feet.

There's only a handful of guys in the NBA who can do that and none of them are close to 5'11". Like I said, he may not be at 50" but he's well into the 40s

I had to get up and walk away from my computer for a minute after I saw that last dunk. Dude's got some serious hops

did you make a fist and put it over your mouth and go "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" then fall all over the guy next to you?

This sounds really nerdy but i paused the video and scaled it out, its definitely 10'

You REALLY should edit your title....he does not have a 50 inch vertical.

It's a small sample since there aren't many guys in the NBA close to 5'11, but I think that Nate Robinson could and probably others. There are thousands of guys in college and high school that can do what the guy in the video is doing. It's not that impressive really. I'd say that he has somewhere around a 36-inch vertical.

After seeing that video if he is in the contest he wins it hands down if he completes the dunks. Short guy plus big hops = winner.

36inchs come on the guy has hops big time.

Nope, put my gym shorts on, laced up my converses and got ready to go put on a show at the Rec today.

being 5'11" with a 36" vertical, the dude wouldn't be able to dunk a 10' goal..that goal is the same they use in the nba, not the adjustable type like your huffy driveway goal..

Easiest way I found is to use the size of the backboard - height is 42". I quickly cut it out in Photoshop and it fit under the rim a hair under 3 times.

i don't give a crap how high the goal is, he did s 360 between the legs dunk! those dunks were sick!!!
