I remember reading that Michael Jordan had a 55" vertical leap, meaning that he could conceivably grab a quarter off the top of the backboard in one jump. That seemed incredible to me at the time.
But this guy gets almost a foot higher. That's insane.
Wilson's isnt a "true" vertical as he is lifting his legs up in the jump.

Still amazing though
true dat, it's not his arms are going much higher, he's just able to lift his legs really high. it's still pretty

Yeah, that's about all it is though. Pretty. I mean, I guess conceivably he could jump over somebody, but it doesn't do much for you. I would, however, like to see his real vertical.

i said it was pretty cool, by using the not just pretty. i don't want to be confused with some panzie that thinks some mans jumping actions are "pretty"

Nope. You said pretty. And don't back away from that now.

I think I gotta disagree with you here. I don't have the physics equations to back it up, but it sure seems like speed helps with height. Remembering back to Junior High ( Ok maybe Freshman year too...) you always give yourselves a running start when you're trying to get rim. Also how else do you explain dunk contestants starting at half-court? Somehow that horizontal speed contributes to the vertical, I know it!
