  1. Bro forgot to mention Football players' high jumps: Cristiano Ronaldo's Highest Jump goes back to 2013 against Manchester United when he jumped 2.93 meters.

  2. Jordan does not have a 48" vertical. It was never measured and is a myth, but Wilt's was even when he was in college, he won the highest vertical leap with 48".

  3. A lot of track guys can fly! I'm 6-8 and I played college bball at a big SEC school with an awesome track team. During the Summers, I played pickup bball with mainly jumpers from our school's track team. Most of them were probably 5-10 to 6-4. All of the track guys could dunk with ease. I haven't seen many sub-6-feet guys dunk so easily. There was one guy, who just barely missed going to the Olympics, that was 5-11 and could do every imaginable dunk. He could dunk from the FT line without being able to palm the pall. I saw him throw the ball off of the backboard in games and dunk. Seeing a 5-11 (he was probably more like 5-10) guy do a "back-scratcher" dunk with no steps is as unusual as seeing a ghost. The only other guy I've seen do dunks like the track guy from our school was Carson Edwards in the Summer on the UCLA campus. He's about 5-11 too but he's also got a freak show wingspan. Dude can soar! He was, and still may be, an NBA player. Sorry for the only semi-related stories…I just wanted to share my experience with the insane athleticism of track athletes.

  4. not trying to b a downer but its very clear wilt did not actually have a 48 vert., but rather somewhere around roughly 40 or so [which is absolutely insane and makes him a generational freak still]

  5. There's multiple volleyball players with 50+" verts, lol. The Olympic volleyball team has a higher average than the basketball team….

  6. And yes! Some of high jump techs are included in appropriate team-sports training.
    Ovr the yrs it became science.
