Wilt Chamberlain free throw dunks:

[QUOTE=abuC]:roll:


Calling me a dumbass, yet posting that long ass moronic drivel of a post, a high jump and a vertical are two entirely different types of jumps. A vertical is measured off no step, or 1 step and jumping off TWO FEET, your moronic copy and paste job has Wilt running and jumping off one foot.

Whoever posted that original post is just as delusional as you, wouldn't be surprised if it was Jlauber.[/QUOTE]


Verticals are measured in different ways...when Dwight did his "backboard jump", his vertical was around 38-39 inches with a run and jump. Your "max vertical" to me is as high as you can get by any means necessary within your physical limits.

I posted it - you didn't read it obviously.

[QUOTE=bdreason]And I don't really understand the extreme focus on Wilt's physical abilities. Javalle Mcgee is a physical specimen as well... so what? James White can do a 360, between the legs, from the FT dunk... so what?[/QUOTE]

Compare Wilt to anyone out of the 1499 draftee's

[url]www.draftexpress.com/measurements[/url]

Tell me when you find one with 4 measurements that equal or exceed Wilt's

[B]Wilt Chamberlain[/B]
7'1.06"
7'8" Wingpsan
9'7.5" Standing Reach in modern shoes [I]greater than Yao Mings[/I]
258lbs-292lbs-305lbs [I]1959-1971 playing weights, heavier still in 72-73 but unweighed - 327lbs at age 48[/I]
4.6 40-yard [I]barefoot[/I]
36-42" vert [I]2x NCAA High-Jump Champ[/I]
11.5" Hand Width - [I]2nd widest NBA hands ever recorded[/I]
9.5" Hand Length - [I]a basketball is only 9.4" in diameter[/I]
IQ: There's nothing but unanimous praise and testimonial about Wilt's high basketball-IQ when the topic is brought up to his peers and contemporaries.

[B]Javale McGee[/B]
6'11 (-2.06")
7'6 Wingspan (-2.0")
9'6.5" Reach (-1.0")
228lbs, 237lbs, 241lbs, 252lbs [I]2008-present[/I] (- a **** load of weight)
3.25 second 3/4 court sprint ~= 5.2 40 yard dash (0.6 slower)
32.5" Vertical :roll:
Hand size: unmeasured. definitely large hands. still doubt they're as large as Wilt's.
IQ: Dumb as a brick. Don't make me show the numerous youtube highlights why.

No, a vertical is not measured in different ways, do you guys just come up with this shit on the fly?

The NFL and NBA combine both clearly define the way in which verticals are measured.

Also, just because you jump high off a running start and a one foot plant doesn't mean you'll get up higher off a two foot jump. Case in point LeBron James and James White, both get up considerably higher when they have a running start and plant off one leg than they do off two feet.

Notice how it went from......"No way he can get up that high" to "Max verts. are measured straight up with no step"......:lol

:facepalm


You two have been talking about VERTICALS for the last 30 minutes, unreal.


Again, if you think he could get up 40" off the ground then you also by definition believe his head was 5" above the rim, and of course like all things Wilt there's no actual evidence to support that claim.

Your maximum vertical can be calculated via high jump techniques prior to the fosbury flop - and or based on scissor jumps over a high jump bar.

Yes. It. Can.

Read the "drivel" - ask questions about it, or gtfo. Thanks :oldlol:

If your too stupid to comprehend how a vertical can be pulled in this manner than....

In game of basketball, that is really all that matters isn't it??

Spud Webb has a recorded vertical of around 44"....if you think he did that just going straight up with no steps...your smoking that GOOD STUFF.

No photo or video shows Wilt getting higher than 36". none.
Drop it already. And dunk a freethrow..isnt that what the OP is about LMAO

I already did the comparison with my on-court vertical vs. my track vertical over the 6' bar, and they came out damn close....NICE JOB

Can you believe that jlauber actually believes that Wilt had a 50" vertical and benched 500 lbs and dunked freethrows...I mean it's just crazy

[QUOTE=bwink23]I already did the comparison with my on-court vertical vs. my track vertical over the 6' bar, and they came out damn close....NICE JOB[/QUOTE]

Olympic High Jumpers have calculated their vertical based on their rise in COG and/or inseam over jumps such as a scissor jump - but apparently abuC don't trust such hocus pocus... aka basic subtraction. :confusedshrug:

I'm pretty sure Wilt in his athletic peak would make Pau Gasol his bitch. If you can block Jabbar's skyhook on the regular, there isn't much your not gonna be able to get to.

What's funny is, when i was a little kid i thought just like these kids do..."Wilt doing nothing but finger roll and dunk on short white guys." I was the exact same way. But as i've gotten older i look at things with a more critical eye and have a much better perspective on things. And all those footage and images only strengthens the fact that Wilt was an athlete for all generations.


How many 7-footers that have ever played this game been such a great all-around athlete??

[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]Pau Gasol is way more skilled than Wilt[/QUOTE]

That skill would get Pau nothing more than a ball shoved down his throat, believe that.

...or you could have looked at the sound fundamentals and footwork - and the soft shooting touch within 15 feet via bump-and fades or turnaround jumpers off the glass. But why would you care to acknowledge any of that. My bad. It must not be important or impressive after all every center knows that kind of stuff especially the ones that exceed Shaq in height :confusedshrug:

Or should Shaq's junk hook and his dunks be considered better skills? After-all you've got a solid 10 solid seconds of Wilt nearly losing the ball in the post - I'm sure nobody in NBA history has ever had that happen - prolly only Wilt the big clumsy oaf :rolleyes:

You're never going to get any evidence when talking about Wilt, everything is "documented" through quotes...:facepalm

Haha, people who believes all crap about Wilt are idiots, one of these moron's even posted some kind of record long jump record from 500 BC and told us about how there's no video proof of that jump so it's too much to ask to get any visual evidence regarding Wilt..:facepalm

Around 500 BC the tallest person according to witnesses was some lady who was like 19 feet tall...:facepalm
