Wow. That is really impressive! I remember a guy that played for Memphis when I was in 9th grade or so that they said had a 55" verticle. They showed a video of him jumped from a standstill and picking a quarter off the top of the backboard… I’ll have to see if I can find that video on my old computer.

his name was michael wilson i think

ther are some legends & current nba guys with big time verts.

David Thompson 50  
jordan 48  
spud webb 5’7" with 48" vert  
francis 48  
v. carter 45"  
michael cooper 48  
marion’s vert is big too…quickest second leap in the league.

streetball legend Earl “The Goat” Manigault… he was like 6’2" & could touch the top of backboard.

& remember mike conley (olympic triple jumper) who won the footlocker dunk comp. he jumped from behind free throw line & dunked with 2 hands.

first off…if your talking driving to the rack…the hop step is not traveling…

but i’m talking about rebounding…like consecutive jumps…he has the quickest second leap.
