how high is that?

Here is a comparison photo with Jeremy Evans who has the record at that facility (43.5 inches). Ruling out a possible camera angle, I think Wiggins has him.

What shoes are those?

[Mass Debator]

Jordan 10's "steel"
Thanks I'm gon' cop a pair. Hopefully they aren't hard to find or expensive...

Just did this quickly.

Blue line is 560 pixels, red line is 320. Using his listed height with shoes from Draft Express (6'8", or 80"):

80*(320/560)=~45.7"

:applause:

lol no, work in data mining. Just opened up Photoshop quickly because I was curious too.

Thing is, if he's gotten taller since that measurement on Draft Express. Every inch of height adds a little more than half an inch of vert.

He looks like he could jump all the way from Orlando to LA

I wonder if some of this NBA players with the appropriate training/coaching could compete at Olympics in the High Jump competition.

Chad Ford (I think?) on the combine show on ESPN2 just said it was 44".

[JimmyMcAdocious]

I like how effortless his form looks in that picture. PJ3 looks like he he stretching every centimeter he can. Evans looks like a robot. Wiggins looks like he's about to fly.

I'm sure it doesn't matter much. Cool jumping form, tho. And when you watch him run and jump in a game, effortless is the adjective that comes to mind.

I love this forum :applause:

You realize those dudes are getting their entire bodies over 7 feet off the ground. The world record is 8 feet, or 96 inches.

His agent said it was measured at 44".

Good job, but I think the yellow line will not be parallel with the floor for the perspective. The perspective line will fan out as it goes up. Notice the angle of the lines at the top.

Gonna look good in purple and gold :rockon:

Nick Chubb is an animal man

He just said before that it was 1-step (so likely not his max).

You realize that they aren't jumping even remotely the same way right?

Don't overlook that some of these may not have been taken at the jump's peak but when the player is already coming down.
