[QUOTE=G-train]he has a 6'9 wingspan too. it should be the same as his height normally. he obviously has very small arms[/QUOTE]
6,9" wingspan at 7,0"? ok something doesn't seem right here? and what would you consider an insanely high standing reach for someone 6,5"? 8,7" sounds pretty insanely high (but we need to know if that's w/ or w/o shoes on).

a t-rex?
Height: 6'3 - 6'4
Weight: 175 lbs (before Christmas I was 168lbs, over Christmas I had the flu and went down to about 162lbs, changed my diet after Christmas, increased my workout regime and I've put on 13lbs in about 2 months, I'm hoping to get up to about 190)
Verticle leap: I don't know. I can hit the rim with my forearm (about an inch or so above the elbow) and I can dunk pretty easily.
Max bench: Don't know, haven't tried, I doubt it will be impressive though.
Standing reach: 8'4ish I'd guess
Arm span: About 6'8, maybe 6'9
40 yard dash: Never done it, it's not a common thing in the UK.
Height: 6'2
Weight:170lb
Vert: 30 inches
Bench Press: 150lb
Standing Reach: 8'1
Wingspan: 6'4
40 Yard: dunno, i'm pretty quick though.

The majority of you guys have wingspans that are considerably longer than your height, so could that be because of black heritage or being black (no offense)?

I'm white.
I have long arms and very long legs. I don't know where it came from. My Dad was 6'2, but didn't have long arms, his arm span was only about the same as his height, which is about normal. He did have long legs though. His Dad, my Grandad, is only 6' and doesn't have long arms or long legs. My Mum's quite tall for a woman, about 5'7 - 5'8, but again, doesn't really have long arms or legs.
Height - 6ft
Weight - 230ish
Standing Vert - 28" ish
Running Vert - 32" ish (can dunk off 1 foot occasionally, not a brilliant 2 footed jumper, not bad though considering my weight!!)
Standing Reach - 7ft6
Wingspan - 6ft6
Max Bench - No idea, don't do weights
40 yard - No idea, never done one.
LOL at the 35+ inch vertical guys here. Jordan only got 36" but yet half of ish is right up there with him.

That was his standing vertical, his running vertical was 44+ inches.
Most people here are posting their running vertical.

Modern training techniques. Plus, Jordan came from a weak era. ISH posters of the 2000s are athletic specimens compared to him. Have you seen tape of the mid 90s ball? My grandma can jump higher than that. :lol

You can see from these photos that we can barely call older players athletes. Their heads could only approach skimming the rim, while Ishiots who can barely lace up their sneakers can honey dip with their head. Welcome to the glorious future!

That was with shoes on. I'm right at 6'4" on the nose barefoot and a little bit over 6'5" with shoes. I thought for some reason when I looked at the pre-draft measurements archives on draftexpress, many of the players around my height had at least an 8'6"-8'7" standing reach and thought I saw some go up to 6'10". But here's what I saw when I went back and looked just now...
Rodney Stuckey 6'3.75"(barefoot) 8'4.5" standing reach
Dwyane Wade 6'3.75"(barefood) 8'6" standing reach
J.J. Redick 6'4"(barefoot) 8'1.5" standing reach
Jamal Crawford 6'4.5"(barefoot) 8'6.5" standing reach
My wingspan may be a little longer than the 6'9" I listed though. Most of the guys around my height with the same standing reach, or maybe an inch higher or shorter, had wingspans in the 6'10"-7'0" range. I've always had insanely long arms. I was 5'8" in 9th grade but had a size 13 foot. By my senior year I was 6'4" and had a size 14 foot. My arms were always very long for my height.
Oh. And I'm white. :D

I have to assume that some of these people's stats are inflated. If not, several of you guys are world-class athletes. [/B]Maybe I don't know very many true athletes but I rarely (if ever) see people who have a 42+ inch verticals or that bench press 500+lbs.[/QUOTE]
Funny thing is, you have one of the top 3-5 unrealistic looking bench numbers. 225 x 9 times is unusually high for a 5'8" 165lb guy. Heck, I only did 225 once when I was 5'8" 160lb and only about 4% body fat.
[QUOTE=Darius]Lotta guys with 40"+ verts in this thread :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
All you guys are lying. lilojmayo said his standing vertical was 32-33 inches. He said the standing vertical is better because it measures pure explosiveness off the ground.
[IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm197/retrojordanxvii/lilojmmmay-1.jpg[/IMG]
He did this w/o running he just turned around and jumped. look how high his feet are off the ground. There's no way that half you guys can jump 8 inches higher then him of a vertical jump.
I just checked the last 4 or 5 pages of this thread and the average vert of posters seems to be around 26-28(with an approach) inches, with the odd 35+ inch vert in there.
So unless you guys only seen the first few posts of the thread and seen a few 35-40+ inch verticles thrown out, I doubt you actually read through the whole thread, because from what I seen (over the last 5 or so pages) there aren't that many people claiming a ridiculous vert.
Edit: Just checked the first few pages and the average vert does seem to be higher. I'd still say that 26-28 is high for some people here, but not really that uncommon.
Height: 6-1 (6-2 in shoes)
Weight: 180
Wingspan: 6-4
Standing reach: (without shoes) 7-8 with my left arm 7-7 with my right arm
Max Press: 250
Vertical: 36
40 Time: 4.5
None of you retards can jump stop kidding yourself.

Thanks for that answer. Usually ppl with relatively long arms have relatively long legs (or vice versa). I am also guessing you probably have square/high shoulders (and a 'short' neck) ( The neck only appears shorter or longer because of shoulder elevation if you know what I am saying). I have very square shoulders, so even though my arm length isn't absurdly long for my height (5,9" with only a 5,11" wingspan), I suppose I have an advantage in standing reach because of shoulder height.
I have a 48 inch vertical and I run the 40 in 4.3.
[QUOTE=FIXED] He said [B]the standing vertical is better [/B]because it measures pure explosiveness off the ground.
[/QUOTE]
Yes and no. If the goal is to measure pure explosiveness, then yes, it is a better measurement. But if the goal is to simply see who can get higher overall, then running vert is better.
[QUOTE=Myth]Yes and no. If the goal is to measure pure explosiveness, then yes, it is a better measurement. But if the goal is to simply see who can get higher overall, then running vert is better.[/QUOTE]
Maybe standing vertical and running verticals should be averaged to see the average explosiveness. That's just my two cents.

I don't really have a short neck, it is quite long. Not ridiculously long, like Chris Bosh, but long enough. My shoulders are high, but again, not that high.

Yeah. I have plenty of pictures and quotes from my trainer stating so.

btw speaking of high shoulders, you can't forgot to mention guys like Shawn Marion, Phil Jackson, and Kevin Mchale! They also have long wingspans too which effectively makes them play much 'taller' than their listed height. Keep in mind that someone like Chris Bosh has such a small head (relative to his height) that it kinda 'evens-out' his shoulder height. I am guessing you have a relatively short head for your height.

I don't know, I haven't measured my head. :oldlol:
I know that I have shortish back for my height. I'm mainly all legs.
I agree, withe the Marion, Jackson and Mchale thing though. Especially Mchale who looked wierd as hell with those high shoulders. I've seen a few times on here, that toe to shoulder height is more important than toe to head height. Which I'd agree with.

I am only 5,9" (69 inches) but my head is a little bit on the long side (about 10 inches tall to be precise). However, my shoulders are so square (and thereby making my neck appear so 'short') that my chin is barely an inch from my shoulders. I've compared height with my peers who are the same height as me (by standing right next or ass-to-ass b4 no homo intended) but my shoulder height is greater than the majority of them despite my 'tall' head.
Wow, this thread may very well be the funniest thing I've ever seen...where exactly are you all having your wingspan and standing vertical measured? I have friends who played college ball and they had no idea what half of these measurements were. I never played organized sports and have no idea what any of these measurements are for me aside from height and weight (5"11, 250), but I've done heavy weight lifting 6 days a week for a few years now and I have only a very rough estimate of what my one-rep maximum bench press is, yet it seems like all of these guys who can lift ridiculous amounts for their weight know exactly what they can do.
Oh, and another thing: It's ridiculous to think that you're unathletic just because you run a 5+ second fifty, can't dunk, and can't bench press your body weight. If your measurements/scores/whatever are at a Steve Nash/JJ Reddick level, that's actually really good since these dudes are pro athletes and thus in better shape and better ballers than pretty much anyone any of us know or ever will know.
