That would have to be running vertical, right? It couldn't really be that high, could it?

    Does anyone know Smith's standing reach and exact vertical?

    With his IQ, he'll just end up banging his head under the backboards.

    In all likelihood, it would have to be very high in the 40s for him to be able to touch the top of the backboard. So, is Stromile Swift actually your favorite player? Or do you just like him because he posterized Yao and seemed like a random and funny player to base your username on?

    Honestly, I have no clue where people get that stuff. My best guess is old draft profiles, but even those could be unreliable.

    Did he become your favorite player when he dunked on Yao, or have you rooted for him since his days at LSU?

    i thought david "skywalker" thompson supposedly took quarters off of the top of the backboard? His vert was supposed to be something crazy like 54.
