Longest Hangtime for NBA players?

this video shows no player ever had a hangtime over than 1 second. Michael Jordan had a hangtime of 0.92 sec.

I was wondering if any high flyer in the league now or b4 that might surpass this number?

.92 is crazy.

[ForceOfNature]

Very interesting video. I still didn't completely understand the part about the body stretching creating the optical illusion of flying in a horizontal line. Anyway, 0.92 seconds doesn't seem like a lot but watching it in slow motion is pretty awesome.

Farmar got some ups

If they didn't have sensors on MJ like they did on Farmar, how can they get an accurate time? If they simply eyed it out, there's room for error. The basic point of the video is sound, though. What guys like Jordan do/did is o extend the body as they say, but also flail the legs and pick them up higher so as to get that extra fraction of a second of air. That leg pull-up is why I don't think their estimation of his hangtime from a video is accurate.

K, i just got the math here lol

say sum guy has a hangtime of 1 sec, then his vertical must be 0.5*g*(0.5sec)square = 0.5*9.8*0.25=1.225metres. That is, 48.23''.

sumone here has a vertical over 48"?

forward motion?

I think they can get MJ's hangtime just by watching the play video and timing it.

Flailing legs won't hold up ur gravity center tho, which is the only thing that determins how long u can stay in the air.

forward motion?

forward motion has nothing to do with vertical motion here.

Brian Cook

Yeah, can't believe the Lakers waited for this guy to have a 11/10 season for 3-4 years

Jumpin' Johnny Green, I heard he had the most hangtime ever.

How about you and your friends do my math homework?
