Michael Jordan ran a 4.3 40 yard dash, and had a 48" vertical!

[QUOTE=bruceblitz]:confusedshrug: Kadour Xiani has a 60 inch vertical, I guess at 5'9" where does that put Xiani's head? Randy Moss has a 51 inch vertical. I posted the links for proof. These are verticals recorded without the ball. Jordan legitimately had a 48" vertical. I saw him run a 4.3 live on TV, he had a 48" vertical which he displayed live on TV, and he also threw a football over 60 yards.

It was a special event that was run by Deion Sanders. I guess a lot of you Johnny come latelys have a lot to learn.

:roll: @ 60" vertical.

Also, Kadour is a one footed jumper, vertical is measured when you're jumping off two feet.

If you think he or anyone on this planet has a 60" vertical I'd like to sell you a bridge.

LOL bruce blitz reminds me of a little toddler or something.

Clearly the guy has a very low IQ, he watches wrestling and is just a log.

LOL at 60 inch vert for kador
LOL at jordan 48 inches.

No honestly. Cut the crap. Show me a pic of Jordan with his head above the rim. I'm sure it would be a treat for all of us. I'd actually like to see it. No BS needed here. We want the truth. No point in saying Jordan had that kind of vertical if he didn't. Post a pic.

Jordan getting his head [B]well above[/B] rim-level on long distance free throw line, distance and height.

Notice Jordan's [B]head over rim height [/B]even on "the shot".

Sorry you exposed yourself as a failure as a basketball fan. The "court level" views of the old school game weren't as prevalent as they are now. Jordan getting his head at rim height and higher would be most prominent in the 80's.

Thanks for playing!

Vertcoach is a reputable site, they have Carmelo's vertical listed at 41" yet it was only 33" at the draft combine.

A 5 foot vertical is not happening, I doubt world class high jumpers can do that, the simple fact that you think it's been done by some traveling dunker is hilarious.

Thats just a table some guy has put together for his vertical jump site, I could put a table together and put it on the internet, doesn't make it gospel

[QUOTE=inclinerator]that means his head should have been 5 inches above the rim on his max jumps![/QUOTE]
Technically, I think it's more than 5 inches, as when you hang in air, your body is totally stretched up.

Did you see Carmelo Anthony

[QUOTE=bruceblitz]Did you see Carmelo Anthony

[QUOTE=gibbo3000]To suggest that melo's vertical is one inch below 'niques is laugable, he is perhaps the best two foot dunker in NBA history[/QUOTE]

The reason you won't find conclusive pics/video is because everything was not as extensively catalogued as it is today. Watch this video:

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2ajygPaNyE&feature=channel_page[/url]

Note that the video freezes slightly before the actual peak of the jump. And this one at the 5:03-5:05 mark:

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrGTcQVn5c&feature=related[/url]

The only reason it's not conclusive is because they didn't replay it from 7 different angles like they do today. There are other vids too.

Vertical jumps are done without the ball in your hand. Big difference to the jumps you perform when you are dunking a basketball. Wow are people shallow on here.
