17 year Olds are more likely to have the physique of Kevin durant, not ben Wallace

those nikkas be like, earl manigault did it back in 50s :biggums:

While impressive, it's not that impressive given his height and long arms.
He's like 6'8/6'9 and probably has a 7'5 wingspan.

how the fauk is that not impressive?

Giannis who?

[Nash]

wonder if he can dunk

[Prime_Shaq]

wonder if he can dunk
About 50/50 chance I guess

[Hittin_Shots]

Jumps too high he misses the ring.

13 feet backboard - 9'2" reach = 46" vertical

His reach might be under reported by just a bit. But I'm guessing Ingram has around a 40"+ vertical.

[Sportal]

Dunno how people aren't impressed... Shit is unreal.

[midatlantic09]

Giannis who?

I'm not referring to his measurements, I'm referring to him touching the top of a backboard. He's only able to do it because of his height and length, not because he has serious hops or anything.

[BigTicket]

Even with his length you need 40+ inch vertical to reach the top of the backboard.

[Pushxx]

If that's legit everybody should be floored. Don't disrespect. That's a 1-in-a-billion type of accomplishment. Very few humans ever would be able to do that.

[Asukal]

Is he going to bed 20000 women? :confusedshrug:

[ClipperRevival]

Can't those vertical sticks be adjusted? I mean he's tall and long and his reach is pretty high but these things can get blown out of proportion sometimes. That rim has clearly been lowered (if people are using that as a reference). I've seen plenty of guys reach the upper levels of the vertical sticks.

See. This video shows that while he can get up, he is not a sudden, explosive leaper like a DJ or Howard. I am always hesitant to put too much stock on these max vertical numbers because most NBA players can get up if you give them a head start and they will give you at least 30" and closer to 35". What's more important is standing vertical and natural fluidity and agility.

doesn't look like the top of the backboard to me. from this camera angle it looks a bit like it but to me that measuring instrument does not seem to be as high as the top of the backboard.

Check this out to see true, Westbrook/Laine type, off the charts athleticism. This is what you call explosion.

[Patrick Chewing]

If you can't get your dick above the rim then it don't matter.

Did not look like he went to a private school. Kids he played against looked... normal.

[Psileas]

How tall is this guy? Sorry, but it doesn't look as if these sticks get as high as the top of the backboard (if this is a normal height backboard and rim, that is - which is far from sure, unless the person standing on the left is significantly tall himself, say, 6'6 or so), looks like the camera angle distorts perception.

If he can get that high and looks for publicity, why not try against a real backboard instead of trying to reach some bars that nobody can tell how high they really are? Is there a uniformal, invariable upper height for them which is always 13 feet?

[Yoda]

Elevated with the Force he did.

[AirFederer]

But how is his fadeaway?

[FKAri]

But how is his fadeaway?

Probably has less range than his standing reach :oldlol:

:lol dude was trying to impress Roy Williams

[HylianNightmare]

Holy shit

[Cleverness]

damn impressive

youtube people comparing him to KD. reminds me more of Stanley Johnson, but with the ability to finish with a dunk instead of a lay-up/jumpshot/floater. then again, his competition looks kinda weak. definitely going to pay attention to this guy next season.

[Chief Keef]

:lol dude was trying to impress Roy Williams


The way he was laying on the ground after he got dunked on :oldlol:

[Levity]

While impressive, it's not that impressive given his height and long arms.
He's like 6'8/6'9 and probably has a 7'5 wingspan.

haha ok shania twain

[Cocaine80s]

Video proof of a 17 year old reaching the top of backboard yet these old ass nikkas still try to hate

Yet theyre the ones who still believe Wilt could do it even though theres no proof:roll:
