great athlete and dunks.....but the math doesn't work.....almost 6' tall would give him a reach of over 7', add in a supposed 50" vertical would put his hand well over a foot above the rim, and those numbers are conservative......not seeing him that far over the rim........but he can bounce higher than i ever could........

He isn't jumping straight up. He is having to go horizontal too so he can't get 50 inches in the air and travel multiple feet.

Dude has some serious hops. I played against a white guy in an intramural game who was like 5'10 and dunked in the game, but it wasn't near as easy for that guy at it is for this one.

That dunk over the three guys and the one where he brings it behind his back were absolutely sick! He's got serious elevation.

Impressive.

I was 5'11.5" in high school and could dunk a volleyball. :D

yea, but anyone thats ever dunked knows you go higher with a running start and you have to travel horizontally some to get higher.....if he's achieving 50" he's not doing it from a completely vertical, standing jump....

i think the kid is great, tho, its just that people today throw around vertical leaps like candy.....i watched david thompson play two games in person and his vertical was supposedly 48" and he'd snatch $100 bills off the top of the backboard, and he only had 5" on this guy.....his leap is great, just not seeing his feet over 4' off the ground.....go watch some of thompsons old tapes and watch his height, even while traveliing horizontally.....lol
