Did Lebron get legit eye/head level with thr rim last night?

[i seen hippos]

james white easily had his head above rim in that poc kblaze posted...not too mention being nose level in this vid that Datz has posted before...http://youtube.com/watch?v=_dLGMTp_1Nk

He was 2-3 inches higher than that in the Cincy/Kentucky game.

This is nothing. I'd said it a million time when Cincy played Kentucky in the second round in Indy I believe, James White went up for an ally oop and the bottom of his chin was level with the top of the rim. I've mentioned that here a few times over the years since it happened.

It was a missed dunk so I don't think you'll ever be able to find a pic or vid of it, but they showed the replay a bit so I didn't base this off of the live feed.

His chin was literally above the rim!

I have absolutely no idea if it's related to what you said there, but maybe this one's it..?

No this was an in game dunk attempt during the NCAA tournament. Round 2 vs Kentucky in Indianapolis. I believe Kentucky was the 2 seed and Cincy the 7 seed. They almost pulled off the upset. The game was intense cause it's a geographic rivalry.

It was an ally oop attempt, but the ball slipped through his hands. That vid there is about 2-3 inches lower than where he was in that game.

the kid is phenomenal. he's the last player i can think of that has lived up to his hype. he makes those dunks look effortless.

i still can't believe that POR let him get that last layup so easily. at least foul the guy or try to take a charge.

Never mind where his head was, did you see how quickly he exploded to the rim on the change of pace to start the drive? That's unbelievable for a guy his size. Probably the only guy I've seen get from point A to point B faster than that is "that dude" who shall remain nameless. :) I mean, look how quickly he levels out and gets his shoulders down to clear the defender. Amazing.

I hope Lebron James do some fancy dunk in the all star game, now that both Vince Carter and Tracy Mcgrady will be watching the all star game from the sideline.

video:

He has an 8'9 reach, so that's 51 inches to get the 13ft. He missed by a few inches.

Lebron who I've heard has a 44 inch vertical.

Never got the huge deal about this dunk, when it's pretty obvious there's a huge angle distortion due to the camera. Back then I had even seen people argue that he was chest level with the rim and other fantasies. Take any good dunker and show his dunk from that camera perspective and you'll make it seem like he's really flying.

It was film back in the 1960's, and Sorry for the cheap special effects.

i think the barbosa dunk lebron jump higher ... but lebron is really a freak of nature imagine having a body ala dwight howard and even jumping as high as a nate robinson .. simply amazing.

Again, huge camera distortion. Watch the normal play. He steps outside the paint and at his apex, he was still a few feet away from the basket. This + deceiving angle = great optical effect.

Why would that be a big deal? Doesn't Joe Alexander hit his head on the rim to warm up?
