yea 5'6 is incredibly short for an NBA player. anything under 6ft is rarely seen, and they have to have incredible skill to make up for it

Muggsy Bogues was special. there will probably never be a player in the NBA that short ever again with that kind of success. He was just so quick, had great awareness and he was scrappy as heck. he looked like he was straight out of some basketball anime.

Being under 6 foot and being in the NBA, you have to be an extremely skilled and gifted player

lol..Spud webb and Muggsy Bogues are legendary Short players in the NBA🙏🏿

Any game with either of those guys was so much fun to watch. In addition to the jump, both Spuds and Mugsy were incredibly fast. They left their opponents standing with their mouths hanging open, wondering what had just happened to the ball.

Guys Spud Webb, and Nate Robinson dunk competitions... Make it happen!

Spudd is an absolute legend me and my cousins loved him as a kid and he wasn't even close to our generation, office blokes just happen to not come across him yet

Dave & Mike: Spud Webb was a freak! He won the dunk contest over his teammate Dominique Wilkins, who once beat Michael Jordan in the NBA dunk contest. Spud had most appropriate athlete nickname ever. I don’t even know what his real name is.😂

For the ones they didn't measure, I think they just got a good estimate of how high above or below the rim(10') their head was, and subtract their height.

You should check out a video on Muggsy Bogues. He was 5'3" and played 14 years in the NBA. There are several videos out there about him.

Free throw line dunks are literally insane to think about. The line is 15 feet from the basket, which is also 10 feet tall. The fact a human can do that is incredible

Another person with a higher vertical leap (over 41 inches) than Kobe: 7-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Caeleb Dressel

Shaedon Sharpe, a rookie this season now has the highest vertical of 49 inches.

5:25 the reaction was so honest lol

Guys, you should watch the 1986 Dunk Contest that Spudd won. He also played with Manute Bol who was one of the biggest players of that era at 7 foot 7 inches

David Thompson!!!. They said he could grab a quarter off the top of the backboard and leave two dimes and a nickel. Reported to have a 50” leap.

This list is missing David “Skywalker” Thompson. He stood 6'4, 195 pounds and had a 48 inch max vertical leap and a 44 inch standing vertical. "Vertical leap" became a term because of him. He was Jordon's favorite player and Jordan asked Thompson to introduce him into the HOF.

"The whole meaning of vertical leap began with David Thompson." --- Michael Jordan Thompson had the nickname "Skywalker" BEFORE Star Wars came out.

5:28 Five foOT Siiix" lol Mike's voice😂

Shaedon Sharpe, rookie with the Trailblazers, has a 49" vertical. His leaps are mind blowing

Mugsy Bogues was 5'3 and was a great player. Along with Earl Boynkins who was 5'5. They both had pretty long careers which means at their disadvantaged size you know they had to be good

If anyone had ever measured the vertical of Wilt Chamberlain in his prime, he would have been at or near the top of this list. And he was 7'2", and the strongest man who ever played. If you've never done a video on Wilt, and his unbelievable athleticism, you should. He was bigger than life - I personally feel he's the greatest basketball player who lived, but it is practically beyond dispute that he's the greatest athlete who ever lived.

Look at "Crazy Stories That PROVE Wilt Chamberlain Was A GOD" or "Wilt Chamberlain's Insane Athleticism Caught on Film".

Keon Johnson last year broke the record for highest vertical jump measured at the NBA combine and Shaedon Sharpe from this year probably jumps higher than him

Jordan got his measured at the 84 Olympics. His coach at those Olympics, Bobby knight, who is all time top 3 or 4 college coaches said he had a 50" vert or slightly more if he didn't have a practice before he measured it.

Great reaction

It's real--Spud was 5'6" tall. Yep.

Spud web for a guy that whose almost 60 years old they asked him if he can still dunk probably like 2 years ago and he said I haven’t done it in a while and he still was able to dunk it

both zach lavine and derrick jones junior are on my citys team, the Chicago Bulls currently. we love him!

derrick jones junior is on my citys team. we love him! we actually have 2 slam dunk winners on the team

I know the narrator’s stats on these gentlemen may seem like these are casually numbers, but these numbers are the figurative definitions of Jumping Out The Jump. As the Blokes mentioned, Olympic type of feats. At my peak my vertical was 30’ 😂 just insane how high these guys can fly.

They listed Spud at 5'7" when he was in that dunk contest, but the NBA has been known to exaggerate heights a little. Now they also lost players as shorter than they really are bc they stick with their pre-draft measurements even though the players are so young now a lot of them haven't finished growing when they get drafted.

I am 6'3". I dunked in high school. Spud Web was amazing. I can't imagine his legs. Goddamn. He was a legend.

You guys need to react to game of zones

8:47 they measure verticals in a couple of ways that are congruent to each other. One is by length of your peak height of the ground (like the NFL combine for example). The other is having a digital floormat beneath the athlete where they time how long you stay in the air before your feet land back down. There is some other science mumbo gumbo that I don’t know personally. 😂

We gotta see you guys react to some Spud Webb videos now.

Back Again 💯

Rookie Shaedon Sharpe for the Portland Trail Blazers has the record now. 49 inches.

Yall should react to the World Baseball Classic

You gotta check out the new Morgan Wallen "Last Night" currently the #1 song in the US which is wild for a country song

Mikes a genius for the vertical breakdown , Ben Stokes is my favourite English all rounder though❤

Do bear in mind it's a standing jump. These are impressive numbers

You guys have to react to Muggsy Bogues the shortest player ever in the NBA and he was a beast! He played against MJ and other legends of that Era and they all respect him

They Jump and slap at Rotating Sticks above their head…..The sticks rotate….and then you subtract the highest rotated stick from the players height.

Narrator says these are those who have official measurements from standing still and leaping to measure how high your feet get off of the ground. Highest jumper I have ever seen is Julius aka "Dr J" Erving--no official measurement back when he played in the 70s and early 80s, but there are good videos out there of him.

Y’all don’t understand how high they be jumping. A 35’ vertical impresses me

The NBA has there combine for the draft.

Vertical leap is how far off the ground your feet get so your height doesn't really have anything to do with it

48 inches = 122cm. This is just insane

You guys should react to "Hi Ren" by Ren.

Jordan was a joy to watch.

Spud Webb also couldn't palm a basketball which makes some of those dunks even more impressive.

Checkout Spud Webb dunk contest.

MJ's vertical is not 48, while in college It was 43 or 44, but it is not 48.

Yes his nick name was muggsy bogues . He was only 5.3. look into that guy he could dunk.

Hey guys, please make a reaction of video called: Chuck Norris shooting stupid people. It's hilarious! Ya'll really help enjoy my time better :D

Its alot of players that jump higher than 44 inches this list bogus.

I wish young Bron did a vertical test, he would 100% have a 48 inch vert. I still remember clearly his jump in MSG where his entire head and nearly entire shoulder was above the rim, reaching to a bad pass

Jordan never had a 48 inch vert, not even close. More like 44-45.

There’s a lot of short guys that know how to slam dunk. Street ball is different from NBA. Short guys bring the heat. They play hard, fast and in your face. The crowd will chew you out if your weak. Every summer we had TIN CANTEEN. Different communities compete. Play hard or go home. Tin Canteen (Rucker Park) is the birth of slam dunks. Street ball is on a different level. Anything goes as long as the rules are maintain.

Dr. J was from my hometown he’s the one who elevated dunks. It use to be banned from professional basketball. In my day a lot of short guys were beast.
