Doesn't matter how high they can touch what matters is their vertical if someone is 5 ft and can get 4 foot vertical it'd be better than someone that's 6ft and gets a 3 foot vertical
As amazing is that is. It would look so much more impressive if it was professionally recorded with some cool angles. The right photographer could make him look like he 20 feet in the air.
@@ynot6781 But even at an average height he could touch his forehead to the rim, which means his hand would be between 12-6 and 13. BTW, I don't believe that is the case. His two foot jumping ability was over 50". I haven't found anything that verified his best recorded vertical jump from a standstill, but it's unlikely that he gained an extra 10" or more by getting a running start.

Very cool video! I grew up in Pasadena and we use to play in B-Ball leagues at Robinson Park gym. I moved away from Dena in the early 80s so I am too old to remember Doug Thomas but I am still glad to see the energy is even more HYPED with those guys than it was with us. I can only remember a few guys that could "get up" as we used to say, but I don't remember anybody that could GET UP like this brother! Congratulations Doug Thomas!! Thanks for keeping Pasadena and Robinson Park on the map!!
Wilt Chamberlain was 7'1 300lbs Had a 45-50 inch vertical so he could touch 13 feet Ran a 4.4 40 yard dash Bench pressed 550 pounds But for some reason he "Wasn't athletic and would be destroyed by Shaq"
that vertical and his benchpress gets higher and higher every time pretty soon the word will be he benched 600 pounds. i first heard he bened 450 in a documentry of arnold swartsenneger
Wilt Chamberlain ran a 4.6 40 at a weight of 290lbs hand timed by Hank Stram HOF Kansas City Chiefs coach. He also ran it barefoot. The 4.4 40 was from when he was in KU (college) hand timed at a weight of 240lbs. Now this is what he said he ran but, if he ran a 4.6 at 290lbs I really don't think that running a 4.4 is that much of a stretch at all.
Figuring out his vertical is easy if you know how high he can touch (presumably 13') and how high he can touch just standing (no jump). You just subtract the difference. 13 feet is 156 inches. According to the Draft Express website, the average standing (no jump) reach for a 6' 9" player, with shoes on, is 9' or 108 inches. 156 minus 108 is 48". This obviously assumes he actually touched 13 feet (I don't know how official the measurement was) and that he's 6' 9" with an average NBA players standing reach. 48" is incredible. There are very few people that can jump that high.
+Russ Tanner Yeah that's a way to figure out his approximate vertical but standing reach varies considerably between players so by using average standing reach there's still a range of several inches, maybe up to 8 inches or so. I just wished they measured his standing reach in this video.
don't forget to subtract around half a foot because when you jump, you jump off of your toes which means your a little higher up than when your just standing flat footed. you would have to stand on your toes to see your ground reach
Dj Sarandos That's not how they measure vertical leap. Vertical leap is measured by taking your standing reach and subtracting that number from the highest point you can touch after jumping.
Resident Zendrich Well it is the tallest isn't it? I know that it is not the furthest from the earth's core because that title belongs to the Chimborazo in Ecuador due to the shape of the planet. But what do you mean it isn't the tallest?
Dwight Howard is 6'10 and his highest reach was 12feet6inch was documented on sporta science and this guy went all the way up to 13 feet and make it look easy
He is over 6 feet tall, his arms are another 2 or 3 feet long extended. thats over 9 feet of length. So technically he only jumped around 4 feet or less.
Bruh unless his arms popping out of the sides of his head his reach is not 9 feet, it's probably around 8'2. Most NBA centers can barely reach 9'4 so unless this dude got a 7'8 wingspan he ain't gettin 9ft reach.
Everyone saying hes not the highest jumper in the world he didn’t ever say that lmfaooo the commentator did , he just said he’s the highest in Pasadena and one of the highest in the world , and the man spoke facts
Hahaha. There's a big difference between highest jumper in the world and reach. They need to measure how high his feet go. I'm assuming this guy is well over 6'
+Ryan Smith Agreed Ryan. His arm span and height are both great. He does probably have the highest reach but we could never be sure about the his vert.
That's crazy. There is no exercises to increase your vertical that much. Just god given. Crazy impressive. Didn't know, and this vid and info is older. Wow.
