Screenshot from the video. He is definitely in the mid 40s if not higher.


That screenshot is not from a vertical... Do you guys understand the difference?

there's alot of superman on this board...have you been around sports or played any...did you ever go thru spring testing for football and get all measurements, including vertical..a player that could dunk at 5'11" with a 36 vertical was rare..

Yes I'm a professional athlete. And I'm a coach and help run a couple combine style strength and condition program around town


And we have a 6' tall 30 year old coach out of shape with a 32" vertical that dunks all the time while coaching his AAU team

Just do the simple math on this dude so you will quit embarrassing yourself. 5'11" with a 36" vertical will put his head at a foot below the rim.

Mind you that is a vertical, not even a running start.

You saying a guy who can get his head a foot below the rim can't dunk? You are silly

it is what it is...if you think someone 5'11" with 36" can dunk all day..that's all you

...I think you're making shite up.

dunking a 10' ain't as easy as you seem to think..

What am I making up?

5'11" + 3 ft= 8'11"

That is a foot he would have to extend his arms

5'11", should be 4'6" @ shoulder + 3' = 7'6"

arm needs to be 3'4" to get to 10'10"..dude's a fricking monkey..

What in the frick are you smoking?

A 5'11" guy with a 36 inch vertical gets the top of his head to 8'11"

From
There it is a 13 inch reach to the rim. Can you reach above your head 13 inches?

alright frickface..it's 13 inchs to the fricking rim...TO THE frickING RIM....You can't dunk the ball if you don't get the ball above the rim 10"


so your 13 is really 23.
