So I'm watching this Wiggins dunk from earlier tonight:
And something has me a little astonished...
How the f*ck did he elevate that much, despite barely, if at all, bending his knees? It almost looks like he just levitated up.
Am I the only one seeing this?

Re: Wiggins jumping
He's a Gawd bro.
He shits on MJ in terms of effortlessness two foot jumping and heights he reaches. Future GOAT.

Kyle Korver on Wiggins: "It feels like he's not even loading and he's jumping at the top of the backboard. I don't know even know if he's using all of his muscles."

Re: Wiggins jumping
That dunk reminds me of Westbrook if he was like 5 inches taller

His father was a NBA player who possessed above average NBA athleticism while his mother was an olympic sprinter who holds some Canadian records.

Re: Wiggins jumping
see this is some jordanesque level sh!t, a legit 44 inch vertical, ability to get UP off two feet without any effort. Compare it to that of Westbrook who has a pedestrian 36.5 inch vertical. He has to really STRAIN his knees to just barely dunk the ball.

Re: Wiggins jumping
He is still learning how to harness his athleticism.
It is coming out in spurts, and when it does it is pretty impressive.
