    Most of the stuff I've read had it at 42".

    Vince's vert isnt higher than Jordan's. He just has longer arms.

    Vince's dunks stick out because they were like a combination of Nique's power and MJ's grace. It was amazing to watch it smash through the hoops during his younger days.

    Some say as low as 42" and some say as high as 48". I think 42" is more accurate.

    VC still does it, bro. Did you catch the clip of all the sick dunks, including a vintage VC windmill throw down from an alley oop off the backboard? His athleticism has declined sure, but he was still at such a high level in regards to jumping / athletic ability, even an aged VC that shows it in timed spurts here and there is still probably one of the most athletic players in the league.

    He is actually more like 6`4 3/4 ft like Kobe (Barkley 6`4 5/8 ft) maybe close to 6`5 3/4 or 6`6 ft with shoes on

    In his 20s around 46-48 running

    Jordan also had Kind of like Chucks ability to leap off to feet incredible with no or few steps taken to Block or Rebound

    That's why Chuck was able to rebound so well for his height.

    Didn't hurt that Barkley had incredible explosion. I can't think of many players with a quicker second jump than Barkley.
