StreetBallTalk.com - 50 inch Vertical

Miljan23 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-27-2007, 09:39 PM

This guy plays for the cuba volleyball national team and has a 50 inch standing vert, from what i read, (just watch the vid in the link) ,and he has a 50 inch standing vertical according to the cuban national team. i didnt believe it until i saw him jump, it literaly looks unatural, i've heard of ppl with 50" verticals, but never actually seen a guy jump 50 inches either running or standing...

just watch the whole thing( 1:11 to 1:43 is crazy)...wow

Recently i found another Leonel Marshall vid, check it out, 21 seconds and 1:21 are pretty good.

and ppl say he can hit the ball at 3.80 m, thats close to about 12 1/2 feet, and if he can hit it with his palm at 12 1/2 feet, and a basketball is 8 inches,then that means he should be able to touch 13 feet, james white can touch 12'11", and dwight howard is about 2-3 inches away from what i heard.

the 3.80 m and dwight howard are small but believeable rumors, but i no the james white is true, i've seen him BARELY touch the bottom of 13 feet, he skimmed it by about 1/4 of a mm.

enjoy the vids.

yea i no that , and hes a crazy dunker...but hes around 5"10 right? so he needs about 50 inches to get his head to the rim ( 56 inches will make his nose hit the rim) , and i dont think i ever saw him get his head to the rim( except maybe the dunk where he had an afro)...other than that, ill never believe 56" until i c it.

edit: i just saw a vid of kadour and he got his head like 1 inch away from the rim a couple times. and one time it looked like he missed it by like a centimeter. but still, that would be a 49" running vert if he was 5'10....

kadour's really good, especially for his age. imagine him with his 56" at a healthy 18's or 20's. i bet he could do alot more, or almost even hit 60" =p

how can you compare Ziani's RUNning vert with this guy's standing.

there are so many people with 50 inch verticals, its really not that rare anymore, you just might not hear about it because there usually not basketball players.

WOW!

...and the weirdest thing is that he's 6,5

,he can probably touch the rim with his nipples

.......dayum!
