biggest vertical

Michael Olawakandi is over 7 feet and has some crazy 45 in vertical or something, that is why he got picked so high when he blows. My next guess would be Tyrus Thomas

No offense, but some of you guys are out of your minds. Olowokandi with a 45 inch vert? Kemp with a 50 inch vert? Have any of you guys ever looked at the information released from the NBA camps when they measure verts and standing reach?

Michael Wilson, former Memphis Tiger basketball player who plays for the Harlem Globetrotters has like a 52 inch vertical. I know he can dunk on a 12 foot rim and he's just 6'5". (Without freakishly long arms)

Michael Jordan's best vertical was supposedly 48 inches.

OK, I had to do research on this. Wilson's is just a 51 inch vertical.

MJ's is 48.
Spud Webb 46
Kemp, 40.

David Thompson's reportedly was 48 inches.

There is a Reggie Thompson (Jumpsoles) with a 53 inch vertical.


Oh, there is some guy named Kadour Ziani who has a 56 inch vertical. Google him as I didn't want to send any links to videos, but he's like 5'10" and has some sick dunks online.

Former Maryland Terp Exree Hipp was a Harlem Globtrotter after college. I remember hearing something about him setting the world record for highest rim dunked on.

Yep. He immediately came to mind when I saw this thread. I've never seen anyone jump as high as Wilson. It doesn't even look real.

Is he made out of rubber?

Jordan Farmar had the highest vert in last years predraft camp over guys like Tyrus Thomas and Rudy Gay.

Don't remember if James "Flight" White was tested, because I'm pretty sure his is ridiculous.
