What's LeBron James real vertical?

[The Chosen One]

I've read from 39" to 44". It's hard to know since we don't have his measurements in 2003, so it would be great if someone could get a link to a interview or something we could really trust in.

I would say prob a 34"- 37" inch vert...vert is measured off 2 feet from a stand still and Bron isnt a two foot jumper.

lmao 44in get that shyt outta hear the most ever recorded was nate robinson 43.5in vertical then VC and MJ(skinny rookie) both recorded a 43in

LBJ when he was a senior in HS recorded a 37.5in vertical its on many website and if you watch the 2003 draft over again right after LBJ was pick they even said he has a 37.5in vert

and i honestly dont think its higher now he just added to much muscle but he is a better dunker tho

LBJ doesnt jump as high as Rudy Gay who had a 40in and he skkinny as heck Josh Smith who is just as big as LBJ was 39.5in

keep in mind your vertical only goes down when u enter the league just like in the NFL your speed goes down cause of all the muscle you build if you look at alot of NFL RB in HS they all ran 4.2-4.4 40's now if they get 4.5-4.6 your concerned fast

[loot]

i think its 60"

[Maniak]

i think its 60"

Sounds about right

[WhySoInsecure?]

Obviously not more than Kobes

[Mamba]

its 45'' the guy jumps and get his eyes 2 look at the rim off one foot. 2 foot he's not so great but he's easily the best one foot jumper ever.

[lilojmayo]

Obviously not more than Kobes

actually kobe vertical really isnt off the charts i dont remember the exact number but it was in the mid 30s

LBJ vertical is actually higher than Kobe

which shouldnt be a surprise Kobe suxs at dunking have you seen his HS slam dunk contest i can pull it up for yolu if you want

lebron can touch both baselines at tha same time. he's too quick for any order of magnitude.

[inclinerator]

lebron's head can get above the rim so 10.1 inch subtract 6'8-6'9 so around 39-41 inch vert could be higher too

Word on the streets is LBJ has a 52" vertical. But I think it's closer to 60".

[The Chosen One]

Seeing the HS dunk contest, where LeBron has his head clearly over the rim, we can affirmative say that he had AT LEAST a 40 inch vertical leap back then. Doing simple maths and giving him a legit 6-8 (which he was w/ shoes), he should jump 40.1 to get his head just exactly at rim level.

You didn't understand my post, I'm saying don't judge an NBA players dunking ability solely on a HS slam dunk contest.

37" Is what i read someone on here or maybe it was another board or site.

on NBA live 2005, theres a repeated comment made by Marv Albert every game that lebron can grab a nickel off the top of the backboard.

Only Dwight can do that, and I'm being serious.

lebron can do the superman dunk with his eyes closed one arm behind his back.

he will actualyl dunk it.

[Vendetta]

LeBron didn't have his head over the rim or anywhere close to it. You are being fooled by the angle.

The only 3 guys who I can believe MAY have gotten that high that have been in the league the past few years are Travis Outlaw, Dwight Howard & James White.

No, no we can't. He has a 37 inch vertical like proclaimed by most before his draft.

BTW, if we want to get technical, its not really a vertical since its a running jump. I doubt anyone has recorded a 40+ inch real vertical bar maybe James White.

What is James Whites running jump?

[3stat2]

What is James Whites running jump?
Whatever he needs to get his chin at rim level - while trying to catch an alley oop, instead of purely trying to get as high as possible. That guy could probably compete in Olympic high-jump. He's 6'7, and let's just say his head is 9 inches from the top to his chin - that's a 50 inch jump, and it might not be his absolute maximum.

This dude in the video below has a truely crazy vert. He's 6'3 or so but he undeniably gets his most of his head over the rim. On that second dunk, the angle is very slightly misleading since he's in front of the backboard, but he gets his damn head level with where I can get my hand :cry:

No moment in Shawn Kemp's rookie season exemplified his youthful exuberance and prodigious athletic ability better than an incident in an April 19 game against the Kings in Sacramento.

LeBron is a 1 foot jumper, getting vertical off a two footed plant isnt his strong point. When he gets a running start and takes off one footed he gets up pretty high, that dunk he had on ESPN in H.S. he was definitely rim level.

#23's vert used to be around 46".....but now it's closer to 38" because he has the added weight of Lebron23 and Pleezebelieve hanging from his sack,

#23 is a power dunker and quite frankly I'm not impressed at all. He's got no creativity or style on his dunks. I appreciate someone like Josh Smith way more as a "dunker" than #23.

It's not figure skating. The point is throw it down with enough authority you don't get blocked. Gerald Green has all sort of pretty dunks...he'd be better served to work on his fundamentals.

It's his opinion about the art of dunking. :confusedshrug:

[Mikaiel]

He's far from being the best breakaway dunker in the league, cos like some have said he doesn't have any creativity, but IMO he's the most exciting dunker in the league.. I'd rather watch LeBron drive to the basket and throw a disguting dunk over the entire D than watch Josh Smith do a nice windmill with his eyes near the rim on a breakaway dunk.

And I don't know what his vert is, but it's gotta be pretty high. Several times a guy threw him an alley-oop pass and I was like "****, that's a TO, no way he's gonna get that", but he did. Ok he doesn't do windmills or 360s or stuff like that but damn :bowdown:

I completely agree. He's one of the few players in the league who will viciously posterize someone deep in the clutch to cap off a 40+ point performance.

When the going gets tough down the stretch, and the game gets physical, most players seem to go for jumpshots or layups. Lebron is one of the very few star players who will go and dunk on the whole team during those moments. He'll steamroll into the lane, pretty much kill some defenders and then bend the rim with the jam. Well, they'd probably get bent if the NBA didn't use breakaway rims. We've seen it happen against the Pistons multiple times and against the Celtics. He did it in the Allstar game too. It's just crazy to watch, and the best thing is, he's fully utilising his athleticism by getting those high percentage buckets in the clutch.

Note that I'm not necessarily saying a balanced, rhythm jumpshot isn't good in the clutch - just pointing out a fact about Lebron.

in the NFL your speed goes down cause of all the muscle you build if you look at alot of NFL RB in HS they all ran 4.2-4.4 40's now if they get 4.5-4.6 your concerned fast
Men may lose speed as they exit prime but it takes a while, and they certainly aren't peaking in HS, the decrease you observe has more to do with inaccurate HS measurements as anything else.

Kobe said it best: "He has the sickest one-leg take-of ive ever seen.... his one leg take-of is just like if he was jumping of a trampoline, its absolutely ridicilous."

And that says much, considering Kobe has seen other one-leg leapers like Julius Erving and Michael Jordan.

http://upload.moldova.org/sport/Basketball/LeBron-James-Dunk.jpg

A inch or two over the line, but INGAME.... not many have done this, infact... i dont think anybody has...

[whatever666]

The only guy i have ever seen who probably gets higher up of one-leg is James White.... that guy is like doing between the legs, windmills from behind the FT line.

and lebron has like 60 lbs on white

I would say prob a 34"- 37" inch vert...vert is measured off 2 feet from a stand still and Bron isnt a two foot jumper.
LOL @ This

Just because he's a great one-foot jumper. Doesn't mean he can't jump off two feet. He's at least at 40 inches. Hell young Kobe was around at 35"-37". No way was Kobe on par.

[theaussieguy]

I believe kobes prime running vertical is underated id put it at 40 inch perhaps at his very best some of the things he did/does can't be done without serious hops.

On that note i think lebron is on another level in terms of pure explosiveness and vert putting his at 44 at its peak but i still think prime kobe was a better in game dunker in terms of creativity

Hell no you're insane. No way he ever got close to 40. He was aggressive when he went to the hoop and he's got long arms. That's why he can finish. But no way did he ever have an elite-level vertical. Ridiculous when people always try to change history.

[magnax1]

40 max, probably a bit lower.

[Swaggin916]

It's not at the NBA combine. NBA combine has both your standing vert and running vert.

Standing: 33"
Running 2 Feet: 37"
Running 1 Foot: 41"

He came into the league with a fairly average vertical... but then he started lifting and his vert became elite. His head was damn near rim level on a lot of occasions... and his vert would be 42" (since he is 6'6) if his head was rim level. His vert was probably 38" in his prime.

Kobe hit around 38" in '08 on that alley I posted in an earlier thread(estimation). That's after two knee surgeries. I have no doubt he could have gotten a just bit higher during the '02 or '03 seasons.

We'll never know but to say he couldn't get close is wrong IMO.

Kobe never approached 40-inches. 42 would be crazy. That's bordering on Jordan/Carter level of jumping. And Kobe is clearly several notches below them. 38 is a STRONG maybe. But I have it closer to 36-37.

I don't believe this. His jumping ability had noticeably declined in 2008. Everything I've seen on him(and I remember reading this back in 2002-2004) said he had a 38 inch vertical. To suggest he had the same after two knee surgeries and at an advanced age is kind of ridiculous.

Also, for a guy who stands 6'6, he never looked like he had a 40+inch vertical. He was just very explosive and had long arms to finish hard dunks. His head was very anywhere close to the rim.

I never said he had a 40"+ inch vert. He didn't. But on that alley oop I posted he was around 38" IMO. Maybe I'm wrong. But to get his head at the bottom of the backboard, he'd need to jump 36 inches. 42 would put him at rim level.

Kobe has had a max 42" inch vertical. 38 is his 17 year old measurements. His prime years it was 40.

Jordan was about 46+. Carter was 40-45 max. Lebron is easily 44-46. These three guys are crazy leapers.

You're crazy if you think any NBA player had 45+ inch verticals. Carter had a 43.5 inch vertical at the pre-draft. Same as Nate Robinson. And Nate's probably the greatest leaper in NBA history. And Carter was most definitely a better leaper than Jordan. That's not even a question. And Kobe's miles away from those guys.

I believe this 100%

Remember some of these guys are some of the greatest athletes ever, no matter what the sport. Iverson is one of those guys. He doesn't reflect the athleticism of the whole league. He's just a stand alone freak. Just Like Carter, Jordan, James and Bryant. These guys are not really normal. Most people don't really understand that.

[Scoooter]

A running vertical (whatever that exactly entails) can yield results that are a hell of a lot different than those obtained from a standard vertical leap test. I'd guess as many as 10-12 inches, depending on the test and the athlete and the time of day and a hundred other variables.

And I certainly wouldn't believe a lot of the reported numbers. For whatever reason, the testing institutions and standards around the NBA are far less accurate and concise than those complimenting, say, the NFL. Just look at how they inflate heights and fudge weights. It's impossible to get a straight answer from these people.

[bstickq1]

Are we talking standing still vertical or with a couple steps?

I'd estimate about 36 on this one from 08, so 40 isn't entirely unreasonable in his prime.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMptipbXh7I

He would need to be 2 inches from the rim for 40, assuming he is actually his listed 6'6"

I've never seen him do that in game, but he got pretty high in this one in 05-

I wouldnt be surprised if his vertical is 42-43 inches actually since he gets up so high. And the highest vert recorded in the combine wasn't nate robinson but a guy named kenny gregory at 45.5 inches.

40.5 inches regular, 45 inches with a running start. Unless we are declaring Pat Croce a liar.

Now im an Iverson fan, he gets up high, but theres no way hes 40.5 inches standing and 45 running.

If you actually looked at iverson's dunks, he never tries any fancy moves like (360's, windmills and stuff), though he probably could do them if he could, I would say he's max vert would be 40ish.

Fancy moves have as much to do with hand size and wingspan as vertical.

Iverson was definitely an elite leaper. If you don't think so your an idiot. Iverson stopped dunking so much a few years in the league.

If you ever saw Iverson at Georgetown you know how brutally he used to smash on people.
