OT: Who had the highest Vertical of all time in the NBA?

[CaneOil]

Before you look take a guess. Everyone has their own GOAT so this isn't about who's GOAT is better. But Wow, this guy has to be mine. Just an amazing athlete... I never knew this.

 

[We the Boss]

What’s amazing is the vertical jump average in the NBA is dog **** to the NFL skills guys.

 

[Halcyon Daze]

I am gonna say that....Alan Ogg had the highest vertical in the history of the NBA....

David Thompson's vertical wasn't Fair...

 

[Bennubird]

This.

David Thompson's vertical wasn't Fair...

Wilt reportedly had a vertical between 48 and 54". How the heck a big dude could jump like him is just unreal. Somewhere there's a video of him blocking a shot that looks like it's above the backboard.

 

[KrazyCane]

Hard to say between the GOAT Lebron James, Zion Williamson, Gerald Green, Zach Lavine, and Vince Carter.

Everyone talks about Vince's Dunk in the Olympics....But Dr J was jumpin over MFers in the ABA and NBA...

 

[rccollins]

this guy Derrick Jones Jr for the heat does some freaky things vert wise. Also, lil Robert Pack used to jump over people. Wonder where those two would rank.

Spud Webb, homes at 5’7” could do a 360 degree dunk.

Semper Canes!!!

 

[We the Boss]

Spud Webb has the best vert

 

[Go Canes!!]

David Thompson was a freak.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Spud Webb has the best vert

Nowhere near David Thompson's....Couldnt Dunk when DT was at NCST.....Monte Towe would throw him Alley Oop after Alley Oop...
Darryl Griffith had Freaky Verts as well...

Tremendous college track athlete and world class volleyball player as well. The best basketball player who ever lived

Yeah but Spuds eyebrows didn't connect...so there's that....

He easily had a 40". Dude could dunk from the free throw line by starting at the top of the **** key. People these days have no clue how freakish he was.

Everytime I watch the reverse Dr J did on the Lakers, when he was driven baseline and went up and reversed seemingly almost out of bounds STILL makes me smh...
