kemp was 6 inches shorter than ralph sampson, which translates into a lot of arm length.

If that's true then how do you explain that Shaq is almost 4" taller than Kemp, and has a 7'7" wingspan and 9'8" standing reach(same as Yao Ming), but Kemp's highest touch is 3" more than Shaq?

or are you asking me if kemp is really 6'10", compared to Sampson's 7'4"?

Because Shaq weighs a lot more than all of these guys plus Shawn Kemp had mad hops. Still, Shaq has more career dunks and blocks than any of them, so who cares about his highest touch. He got up there. Stop hating.

Haha I'm really stoned right now, so maybe that's the reason, but I thought it was hilarious when I opened this and was surprised that it wasn't about Shaq only to read down for his true intentions of the post.

No Shaq's standing reach has been measured at 'only' 9,5". I don't want to go through the trouble of going the source I got that from but you can be certain that there is noway his standing reach is the same as Yao's. As for his vertical during his prime, I am not sure but I am definite that it was over 30 inches.

Maybe because Shaq weighed a 100 ****ing lbs more...so didn't jump quite as high.
