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

Compare Wilt to anyone out of the 1499 draftee's
www.draftexpress.com/measurements
Tell me when you find one with 4 measurements that equal or exceed Wilt's
Wilt Chamberlain
7'1.06"
7'8" Wingpsan
9'7.5" Standing Reach in modern shoes greater than Yao Mings
258lbs-292lbs-305lbs 1959-1971 playing weights, heavier still in 72-73 but unweighed - 327lbs at age 48
4.6 40-yard barefoot
36-42" vert 2x NCAA High-Jump Champ
11.5" Hand Width - 2nd widest NBA hands ever recorded
9.5" Hand Length - a basketball is only 9.4" in diameter
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.
Javale McGee
6'11 (-2.06")
7'6 Wingspan (-2.0")
9'6.5" Reach (-1.0")
228lbs, 237lbs, 241lbs, 252lbs 2008-present (- a **** load of weight)
3.25 second 3/4 court sprint ~= 5.2 40 yard dash (0.6 slower)
32.5" Vertical
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"......

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
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.

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.
