Vince is the best dunker of all time. Close, but shows that Jordan had those few extra inches necessary. 42" is not enough to dunk from the free throw line.Originally Posted by mika

Pippen has done it too. along with alot of other players that I can't remember right now.
do they all have 48 inch verticals? I don't tink you need 48 inches to dunk from free throw line.

No, but they were taller and the taller you are, the even longer reach you have. Plus if you look at their free throw line dunk, Jordan does it more effortlessly, cocking it back, doing some movement with his legs while the others have to strain forward, some not even dribbling.

Well you're white. Nothing to do about that. Chances you jump high are 1/1000000.

Getting hops is not just down to genetics, they play a big part in it but if you really want to maximise your leaping ability you need to generate a lot of power in your legs.
Squats
Deadlifts
Powercleans
these should be the core of your training not calf raises. Make sure to pick one of those exercises in your workout ( give at least 72 hours rest before doing another leg workout) don't do all three in one go.
do 5-6 reps using a heavy weight with 3 sets.
Calf raises, lunges, side lunges, burpees, leg press these are all exercises that can be used to help but they are not gonna push you from a 29 inch vert to a 40. Stick to the compound exercises like I said.
Do plyometrics, keep your body fat down having extra weight will only slow down your progress.
P.S
Get flexible, if in doubt download/ buy p90x yoga that will really help.

Vertical Jump Bible is too long and complicated. You need a lot of equipment for it as well. Originally Posted by mika
