Head at rim

inb4 2/6

[Marchesk]

His head is not at the rim. Lebron didn't jump very high on that block.

[Lebronxrings]

very impressive. Lebron is the GOAT shot blocker at sf.

[Dr Hawk]

You do this purposely right? You want people to answer with "2/6"

[HenryGarfunkle]

10/10

7 for LeBron standards though.

He's the best all-around athlete and player of all time, there will never be another LeBron.

Yeah, because it got tired like 6 months ago

saying "2/6" won't do anything but make the person saying it look like an embarrassment. Have at it brotha.

This.


Of course OP has to prop everything up to make Bron stand out.


Sad.

[Marchesk]

very impressive. Lebron is the GOAT shot blocker at sf.

Averages the same amount of blocks for his career as Bird did.

Julius Erving is the GOAT shot blocking small forward.

[smoovegittar]

He pushed off.

[No_Control]

That was pretty sick

These players are more explosive when jumping off two foot

What’s Lebron James vertical jump? (http://b-reddy.org/2015/07/22/whats-lebron-james-vertical-jump/)


The highest I’ve seen Lebron get is his head to the top of the rim.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUdVteq8XBs

The rim is 10 feet high.

6’9″ = 81 inches
10′ = 120 inches
120 inches – 81 inches = 39 inches.

Lebron James rarely 1) jumps off two feet 2) can’t jump off his right foot. When he needs to get up there, he has a main go-to: his left foot. This is pretty common for 1) right handed people 2) guys who are more “plyo” people opposed to “strength” people.

Even in what is his most famous two footed jump, his block on Tiago Splitter, his head is nowhere near as high as it gets in his left footed take off:

https://breddydotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/lebron-james-tiago-splitter-block.png

His head doesn’t reach the backboard, never mind the rim. The Tiago Splitter block also has a brief run up before the vertical. This little bounce only helps:

Watching some his best blocks, where he’s more likely to jump off two feet, the backboard, give or take a little, is as high as I’ve seen him get.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjJMC2d7jSw

The height of the backboard is ~114 inches. Six below the rim.

http://oi64.tinypic.com/4nzm9.jpg

Lebron is getting ~3 inches below the backboard in the Splitter block. Six inches below the rim + three inches below the backboard = Lebron nine inches below the rim. We could conceivably say,

39 inches – 9 inches = 30 inch vertical off two feet with a brief run up

Let’s go back to percentage differences. We saw a 20% drop-off was the average for those who get a lot out of a run up. For James’ sake, if it were only a 15% difference:

39 inches * 0.15 = 5.85
39 – 5.85 = 33.15 inches

We’ll call it 33 inches, with that more than likely being generous. I’d be surprised if it were below 30, as 9 inches seems to be a rough max for how much of a drop off a guy will get.

Keep in mind, 15% is what the top jumpers are experiencing, such as P. Connaughton (jumps higher than James) and J.P. Tokoto. J. Anderson is at 12%. At 20%, Lebron’s vertical would be more like 31 inches.

30-33 inches for Lebron James’ vertical jump seems right.

[Marchesk]

[QUOTE=JohnMax]30-33 inches for Lebron James

[dubeta]

And I thought Westbrook had a poverty vertical. :biggums:

[BuffaloBill]

How do you get 6'5 235 from 6'3 188?



:biggums:

[Andrei89]

You can obviously notice from the video that his head is nowhere near rim-level, yet OP is too much of an imbecile to not just keep his whore mouth shut.

And I have nothing against Lebron.

[inclinerator]

What they mean is Lebron jumps up to 39 inches when he jumps off his left foot but 30-33 inches when he jumps off both feet.

Julius Erving is the GOAT shot blocking small forward.

Close call, but I would actually opt for Kirilenko as the GOAT SF shot blocker

Or even Josh Smith (Hawks version) deserves some consideration -

just amazing, he blocked a guy that's considerably smaller than him.

Just another convincer that OP is just a troll who tries to make LeBron look worse.
