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

Lebron is actually 6'9" in shoes but he is also called the most athletic player ever because he weighs 260 pounds and still has a 44 inch vertical. Jordan's was around 48 inches though.

Yea that just doesnt seem likely. Ive never seen any visual evidence of anyone having better than about a 42 inch vertical even running. Ive seen pictures of people using that vert measuring machine(the tower with the things you jump up and hit). 42 is the highest ive seen anyone get. 48 inches is just a number people pulled out of the air. If hes jumping 48 inches off a vertical hes probably 50+ running. Hes then like 8 inches over the rim. Somewhere throat high or more. Jordan refused to do a vertical test I believe saying he didnt want to limit himself whatever that means. 38? I buy that. 40+ on the run. Not 48.

Well, I can understand where he

James White going for the top of the backboard. he came up a few inches short and the angle makes it hard to judge him vs the rim...but id bet hed headlevel or more. Easily.

Of all the posts in this thread, I never mentioned LeBron vs. Jordan or anything close to that.

No, you just spammed, and given the Lebron > Jordan thread you made a few days ago, it was only a matter of time before you started that stupid sh*t up again.

Why you so mad at me, son?

For starters, you

Nate Robinson's standing vertical has been measured at right around 44 inches.

Yes it was. highest ive seen listed in the draft combine. And its pretty easy to believe. He did it the year before he came out officially though. He was overall #1 in the tests and didnt want to lower that by doing it again when he was sure he was staying in the draft.

I heard that Tim Duncan can barely jump

As for Jordan's vertical I've seen his head right around the rim so considering Jordan is 6'6 1/2" in shoes that puts his vertical at about 41-42 inches atleast. Now Jordan himself had said he has been eye level with the rim and your eyes are usually about 4-5 inches below the top of your head so that puts his vertical around 46 inches if he actually was eye level with the rim. I have heard his max vertical at everything from 42-48 so who knows...all I know is MJ looked like he jumped higher than Vince Carter who recorded a 43 inch max vertical when he was drafted and Lebron who I've heard has a 44 inch vertical.

Looks like it.

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!

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
