Just saw a dunking thing on YouTube. Who is the best long distance jumper. Jordan seemed to be the best but interesting to see everyone's opinion

Watch any video on James White before he was in the NBA.

You will have your answer.

Fair enough. I should make it in game nba dunks. Off both feet or one. . I've seen his dunks before that. And a fair few others who would prob be better.

In game I think LeBron and mj both have ones a foot last the foul line. I think mj and Eddie Jones actually did ones from that distance on guys

To add. Of topic. I don't know who it was but I seen a dude two foot dunk like a meter outside the paint on a college warm up line on a vid. I would like to know who that was

Here's Eddie's https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SmOGCEulKEw
Here's mj's https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AKU2u1Aj96w

Neither are as far as I though but still far for facial dunks

I remember them. I think Lebron's was better. As in he didn't have to reach so far his was more cleaner i guess

Out of those two Jordans was better.

I don't know about cleaner but probably harder for sure. LeBron has a bunch of one footers from that range. Mj has alot more long distance 2 footers though. Greek must have a few also and I'm pretty sure Dr j has a couple.

Vince carter against new york. Look it up further thAn levron.

Vince is the most underrated one foot dunker ever hes good at boyj one and tw foot take off. His practice free throw line dhnks, 90 drgree elbow bend is harder than all of jordans mini pump free throw like dunks..mj dunk only looks extraa hoood in slow mo cause his pump is like so short

but drexler had a dunk that was about where lebron took off from

Dunno, considering the diagonal takeoff it might be close tho... the thing is when Lebron got to the rim he tomahawked it, he was still above the rim and skying upwards almost, i mean he could have windmilled that or something with ease... he didnt barely get there, descending and reaching it in like Drexler there with all his might... just shows Lebron could takeof from further out, from at least clearly behind the line...

lebron was a foot and a bit in front of the line. no shit... james white could probly do a double between the legs from there


and i dunno what the big deal is about a guy with 50 pounds of HGH/roid muscle being able to run and jump

Scary thing is he didn't even reach out the ball, could have easily gone FT there if he did.

This is a little further out and MJ is a few inches shorter so it's a more impressive jump - more force/strength pound-for-pound


https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-08-2015/FAYvEZ.gif



And Lebron has no 2-foot leaps from far.. only MJ is goat level off 1 and 2 feet. :cheers:

That was weak, MJ fully extended the ball out. Look like a robotic long jump than an actual dunk.

Lebron is 50 lb heavier, smaller hands, their wingspan are about the same. So Lebron is actually the better leaper pound for pound.

Everyone knows height is the most important factor and lebron chooses to be overweight

Lebron also has no 2-foot leaps - he's average off a vert... only MJ is goat level off 1 and 2 feet, so he's the goat leaper - that's why he's "Air" Jordan (billion dollar nickname)

Nope, taller and heavier is a disadvantage, it's common sense in track and field.

Pro long jumper, easily dunk beyond the line. Only 6′ 1″

Clyde's was pretty good but I'm going with lebrons of 1 foot 1 hand.
Chambers looked good for 2 hand any other candidates? Jordan seems to have the 2 foot 1 hand unless anyone has any other choices. 2 foot 2hand will be interesting
