backboard is about 3 feet above his head so its accurate

[AirFederer]

:facepalm

He might not have the most hops but the way he uses what he's got is better than anyone in the League. Killer mentality (skimask a little too far lol)

[PejaTheSerbSnip]

Lol, sarcastic thread m8's

I'm absolutely amazed how athletic Westbrook is. His head was about 1-2 inches away from hitting the rim!

Westbrook = 75" tall
Rim = 120"

Lol, guy must have AT LEAST a 43 inch vert. Ridiculous.

[rapker]

where is the salt

[Mr.Kite]

The real question is lebron who can get his head to rim level, won't join the dunk contest.

[oarabbus]

36.5" vert you say OP?

Still better than Jordan's vert :applause:

[LoneyROY7]

10 inches less than Lavine's. :applause:

[riseagainst]

36.5" vert you say OP?

:biggums:

[KungFuJoe]

36? Hell no. I have a 36" vert and at 6'2" I could never dunk like Westbrook even though I could dunk easily.

He looks like he's got at least a 42" vert. He gets up.

[tgan3]

He easily has at least a 40 inch vert to pull down those sick dunks

[theaussieguy]

thats where yall wrong, his vert is only 36.5 inches according to the combine and its obvious when he dunks, he doesnt get up high he just has long arms. ****ing poverty dunker

[Chizdog]

:biggums:

DeAndre have 30.5 max vertical so he's right.

[sportjames23]

DeAndre have 30.5 max vertical so he's right.


Wat

:biggums:

[Graviton]

Dwight Howard, Amare and Blake Griffin have poverty 35.5 verticals according to your source. Obviously it's accurate.

its true that they do, yet at their size which is significantly taller than westbrook, it still is and looks impressive as ****.

Thats why I always prefer Rose's dunks. Even though he listed as the same height as westbrook hes clearly only 6'2 max and in his prime when he dunked you just knew u were witnessing something epic with that 40+ inch vertical.

With russell hes aggressive sure but its nothing special he just has long arms and height.

So you go on about a PG not having impressive dunks due to long arms but then say big men with less vertical and even longer arms/height is impressive? :oldlol:

Besides, there is this thing called improvement, those numbers are from 2008, obviously Westbrook has grown and matured over the years, his explosiveness is on another level compared to his rookie year.

[JtotheIzzo]

yeah, his vertical may be lowish, but his running jump is probably off the charts.

[Marchesk]

Dr J had really long arms. He must have only had poverty 30 inch vertical.

I'll take Westbrook's in game poverty over Zach Levine's richness any day.

[Budadiiii]

Westbrook's the biggest overachiever in sports. He shouldn't even be in the NBA.

He couldn't even dunk until his junior year in high school... he went from being a scrub to being a top 5 player in the world.

He's 10x more mentally driven than Michael Jordan or any other player.

no, im saying these are big men with verticals that are more or less the same as westbrooks. Its irrelevant that they have long arms, the point is they are 6'10ish give or take with the vertical leap of a PG and thats why when Blake Griffin dunks it just looks out of this world, because no man that big should get up that high.

For a 6'3 PG tho its a different story, smaller guys can usually jump higher and although 36.5 inch aint too shabby its just not at that elite level like a prime Rose or Nate Rob and therefore I can only hold his dunks with so much respect because hes not freak status.

[theaussieguy]

do u even reading comprehension? Westbrooks vertical is 36.5 inches, confirmed. I am not basing this off his long arms alone. I am saying that he comes up with a lot of dunks despite a poverty vertical because of his long arms, and thats why they are not impressive to me.

That was his vertical before his rookie season though. He wasn't even at his physical prime then. Pretty sure with the all the NBA training, personnal trainers and getting into his physical prime he's added 3-4 inches to his vert. Putting him close to 40 inches

[oarabbus]

Oh great. The 3ball signal just went off in the sky :facepalm

:lol

[Jlamb47]

If Westbrook vertical is 36.5 then there is no way his head should get that close to the backboard. His vertical is atleast 40+
Zach Lavine combine was like 41 i think and he jumped a 46" in Lakers practice

[PistonsFan#21]

his max vert is 36.5 inches

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Russell-Westbrook-5062/

No its not. You are posting a link with Westbrook stats prior to his NBA days. He wasnt even at his physical peak and didnt have any personnal NBA trainers back then.

I think what you meant to say is his vertical was 36.5 inches back in the summer of 08.

[oarabbus]

his max vert is 36.5 inches

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Russell-Westbrook-5062/


his max vert... as measured at the draft combine


Jerry Rice also ran a 4.71 40... draft stats don't mean shit if you turn it on in-game.

trust me its obvious Russel at this point in his career being on the decline gets up max, MAX 35 inches off the ground (disgraceful for someone considered to be a great athlete). Its all height and long arms.

[JtotheIzzo]

Oh, I didn't realize that we were talk running vert already.

Seems too low.

Maybe in a game there is adrenaline and situations where you can add a few inches but 36.5 seems really low.

It's from 2008. People must know that Westbrook's first dunk was in last year of high school.

His vertical right now must be above 40 inches I'm sure.

But it doesn't matter, GOATbrook gonna GOAT anyway.:cheers: :rockon:

[swagga]

lmao 36.5 is bad??
y'all people is nuts. Vince carter had 36-38 inch vertical in the 2000 dunk contest, you retards.

[04mzwach]

Lavine has 46 inch vertical and Wiggins has 44 inch vertical. LOL@ Vince Carter veritcal :lol
