Then why don't we have even one legit pic of MJ's head at rim level?

6'6 + a 48 inch vertical means he can get his head to 10'6 or 6 inches above the rim.

But we don't even have evidence of MJ getting his head to rim level?

Jordan's vert wasn't an inch above 39, anything else is just wrong

Unequivocally false. Jordan did not have a 48 inch vert (that's territory reserved for today's professional dunker's who literally do nothing but practice dunking and jumping) but his max vert was likely in the 44-45 range. His very first dunk in the NBA, an alley oop against the Milwaukee Bucks was almost certainly head above rim, although not eye/mouth level as some have claimed. See https://giphy.com/gifs/l2JhuRyEvLxbgD3fG

Here's three good looks at the apex of his 88 free throw line dunks from decent camera levels.







Here's several other pics where he's clearly above rim level.

This is in 1993 EC semifinals when Jordan was 30 years old. The pic is taken from video footage and he's on his way up. He was about a little higher right after pic. One way to measure the pics veracity is to note the clear evidence that he was high enough to jump over 7'1" Brad Daugherty, who was standing straight up trying to take a charge. You can see the whole play starting at 6:52 of this video. https://youtu.be/xGxeTIU_0cQ?t=413



Here's another pic of Jordan dunking over a big man in Miami, and his head is clearly 1-2 inches over the rim.

I am certainly not dumb, but you are willfully blind. And a troll. Sorry to burst your little denial bubble.

He hit the lower back of his head on the backboard. There's footage of it.
Also combine measurements aren't IG measurements. Most guys can't jump as high in game situations.
Don't know why you guys can't stop crying about any factoid of Jordan. He obviously had a pretty decent vert, he was quick as **** and ran the court as fast as anyone.
Someday, you're trying to diminish his athleticism other days you folks say he simply was more athletic than the rest of the league that's why he was great.

The truth is: You don't enjoy basketball. You love Lebron. That's your reason to watch. IDC if Jordan's GOAT or not. I have an opinion on it, but it doesn't make him a better or worse player than Lebron, Bird or whoever. They are what they are, a silly ranking by some internet ****, most of them never played ball, doesn't change that. Someday in the future you might get it, that enjoying the greats no matter who is much more satisfying than always belittling their feats so you can feel better by proxy of your mancrush.

MJ had unique athleticism. No one has had his total package of explosiveness and size since him.

It's so pathetic to see so many people who never saw MJ play try to tear him down. Honestly what's the point of being so insecure?

The only issue is that those dont measure vehicle leap. Leaping front the free throw line and jumping almost horizontally isnt going to get you as high as you otherwise would.

Incicentslly, Lebron's vertical is 44 inches, 41 above his knob's length.

Luka Doncic farts in Dimwiddies face all day.

[bobopenguin]

nah he'd be an allstar.

I went back and looked at Spencer's highlights. He's a solid player, but nothing remarkable in this era or in any other era. It's utterly laughable that he thinks he's the same caliber of athlete as Jordan. He's not in the same stratosphere. His statements pretty much demonstrate lack of credibility in judging athleticism.
