I'll start with Lillard. His vertical is actually better than both Terrence Ross' and John Wall's :biggums:
No step
Lillard - 34.5
Ross - 31.0
Wall - 30.0
Max
Lillard - 39.5
Ross - 37.5
Wall - 39.0
His short(er) reach gives off the appearance that he doesn't have great hops, but :applause:

Wasn't aware of this, but multiple sources have told me that he's more athletic than healthy Westbrook and Rose combined.

I don't buy that shit. Read somewhere James Harden technically jumps higher than Westbrook and Mayo over Rose.
Really?

Harden has long ass arms and he throws down. I like his dunking, but when I read that shit, I was completely confused. It's Westbrook.

JJ Redick had a higher vert than Iggy and Monta Ellis was the worst athlete of all the prospects according to numbers in there draft measurements.
Patrick Patterson when he wants to be can explode with the best of them just rarely uses it for some reason.

Iggy is long as hell. JJ has T-Rex arms so maybe dude does have a higher vert, technically.

They are pretty basic dunks that any black man can do.

At 31-32 with achilles problems, him still dunking isn't a small feat. And he got up pretty high on that dunk with Toronto.

Josh Mcroberts, casual fans assume he is just your ordinary white boy baller but the dude has some hops. He once competed in a dunk contest.
Highlights:
10-11 top 10 dunks

Harden came to mind first.
Apparently Willie Green got crazy hops too.

02-26-2014, 05:26 AM
a quick google search shows that willie green measured a 38" vertical leap :applause:
Chandler Parsons, he looks so stiff (nohomo) playing out there but is actually quite athletic.

Going up with the ball is way different than presenting your max vertical.
Wearing-football-gear-speed is way different than running the 40 with skin tight clothing.

alexd

harden/waiters
both look kinda fat to me but they got hops
nash is more athletic than most people think.yeah he doesn t jump really high or looks ripped but he has some sick core.really strong for his body type
parsons/budinger s athleticism is sneaky as well
the bottom line is everyone in the nba no matter how they look are elite athletes.and i mean everyone.from the superstars to the bench warmers
