His vertical so high that he took fall damage.

I actually jump 56”, the only thing I need is my trampoline

I did 54 inches though. However I must admit I can't do it again, Jumping from the first floor isn't a good idea I must say.

D wade would give him a 9 tho. Lmao

I remember in the 90s I had a 36 inch vert and people thought that was godlike lol

“He jumped so high I developed a Southern accent” 😂

I jumped a 96" but the landing broke my leg so I'm unable to replicate this again.

Did he eat the spring-spring fruit?

the closest a human can feel to flying ... dammm i wish i had just 40

Forget 52 inch vert, with my knees I can't even imagine jumping off of that height.😑

Dam, that's a crazy improvement. Once you're at 45 inches you don't usually think you will improve from there (maybe like 2 inches, but 7 more?!?). But, I guess this is where genetics play a role. Paul do you know how he trained since the last time you saw him till recent testing day? I would love to know how one can improve from elite to next level elite. 52 inches, wow. It blew me away.

Are you kidding me?! A fifty two inch vert... that is the highest I’ve ever heard of someone jumping. Great stuff.

Congrats Jamal! That's really impressive! Please be careful - don't get hurt using all that levitation! I hope you maximize your entire game.

If he can shoot 3s, he'll be steph curry with a 52 inch vertical

*"WIRED : Why it's almost impossible to jump higher than 50 inches"* This video : *I've just ended that video's whole career.*

Damn after all those attempts he just jumps higher and higher that's some serious strength stamina. His whole head and shoulders where above and at the rim. Unbelievable!!

Flight did that he just didn’t have the cameras on

And I thought I could jump high with my 30 in vert😂. This mans a diff breed💯

Years ago in '79, I was a 17-year-old high school senior, 6-3 with a 33-inch vertical and back then, that was something in my neck of the woods. Walked around with ankle weights all day to help me get there. David Thompson was my favorite player. Later that year in Navy boot camp my company had about 40-50 kids in it, mostly from the inner city. The irony is in the boot camp Olympics (I guess that's what they called it back then), I represented my squad in the standing broad jump. The brothers loved it. Said they'd never seen a white guy jump like that. Those military years playing basketball all over the globe were tough times but fun times. I balled against international players long before their reputations finally made it stateside. Anyways...the training and technology available today to help these kids reach unprecedented levels of athleticism is off the charts. Good for them and kudos for you guys helping 'em to get there. It's tough doing it alone.

I can jump 52 centimeters high.

He could literally look down into the hoop while in mid air!!! God damn that’s amazing!

so explosive with the takeoff his knees pop straight at light speed when he jumps that kinda vertical is beyond incredible

Yup that’s insane . Good work . I’m wondering wth did he do to get the extra 7inc from already a crazy high 45 in Vert ??! Can u post that info ?

That was beasty asf...love what you doing on your channel bro...love the positivity... keep up the good work 💯

That is incredible definitely a true 52 but are you gonna record his new attempts

Running vertical jump: This refers to a vertical jump after a run up: the last step of the run is used to launch into the jump. This may help to add additional energy to the jump and improve on the standing vertical jump result. In general, the standing vertical jump is the one that is used as an official measurement for athletes

Thank you for explaining how the vertical is measured with its variables.

1:05 You know you can jump when the equipment isn't tall enough...

Hinata Shoyo: Finally a worthy opponent

Who else feels like you can jump really high but when you try you cant jump for shit.. 😭

This is a very sound analysis... Great work!

00:24 LMFAOOOO

My highest recorded vertical was 40 inches in high school. Too bad the internet wasn’t a thing back then so I don’t have any footage of it.

Naptownnnnnnnn!!!!💯‼️🙌🏾💪🏾

Yo in my personal opinion is that, it doesn't matter if there are errors in this measurements or what his vert is. The thing is that, Paul can get your vert more even if you already have elite number.

This man really be drinking jump potions from Minecraft

I wish we had the knowledge back in the day when I played. Players are jumping soo much higher now a days.

Use the "Just Jump" mat with your Vertec!

This is awesome content, sir.

It's amazing how he can jump so high and his knees just can't keep up with the ability :D Does he have springs in his shoes? :D

thats absolutely amazing to watch, my highest when I was young was 40". Back then we measured it by no step, just literally standing two foot jump up. If able to do it like in this vid I know I got a bit higher, but back in the 90's we didnt have all this stuff. I was 6'0 and could using a sticker on my middle finger stick it to the top of the backboard square.

0:17 He looked at his vert and was like “ah yes. That’s pleasing to see”

Truly incredible for a guy of such statue to leap that high!

I wish T-Dubb had measured his vertical jump officially during his prime. At 5'9", he had such INSANE natural bounce and could easily get the top of his head at the rim level, if not a little bit over. Would have been great to test him out.

i’m 6’0 at 16 years old and haven’t play basketball for 2-3 years and touched the rim on a 10ft hoop for the first time this week 😂

I can feel every tendon in my knee tearing trying to land a 52 inch vertical

The inconsistency with wingspan and standing reach is caused by differing shoulder to shoulder width. That shoulder to shoulder distance is used when measuring wingspan but not standing reach.

8:17 if you look at this jump the highest point he could reach would be with more extension in his back the slight bend forward at the hips AND at the shoulder took some height away and is likely why he was able to increase his vert from here. More to do with the form of his jump and the placement of the marker.

Forget about elbow in the rim dunks we're talkin about shoulder and chest in from now on!

Interesting how low the reach is on some of these guys. I'm 6'1.5" to 6'2" and I can just touch the ceiling in most homes where the standard height is 8 ft or 96 inches. While my wingspan is longer than my height by 2-3 inches, my arms aren't that long. Tells you that a lot of these guys are inflating their verticals by minimizing their reach on these tests.

I had a 60 inch vertical jump last summer. The landing really hurt my feet as the ground was very hard. I was installing soffits and my ladder started to slip sideways. I had a choice - ride it to the ground and get my legs tangled in the rungs or jump off. I jumped.

Does the vert code program help with hang time

Trampoline man 💥🔥🔥🔥 jump man waou

Imagine this man playing volleyball 😳

My dad was 5’9” in Newark pd sgt test did a 3’6” vertical leap that’s free standing not running...it’s on record. Back in the late 50’s.... he was dunking almost at 50 yrs old....I seen him with his head over the basket and block guys 6’6” to 6’8” with ease.... he’s 87 and has trouble walking now but was a freak.

A jumper may have disproportionate neck, arm, leg, or chest dimensions relative to standing height. Not everyone is built like the vitruvian man. Measuring downward(d) and above(a) reach- both hands simultaneously- can be used to determine shoulder elevation (d+a)/2.

Impressive! Crazy hang time!!!! Though Sotomayor high jumped a WR over 8 ft (over 96 inches). That is the bar was UNDERNEATH him when passing, so add another 2-3 feet.....

I do remember in my prime of vertical jumping (20-21 yrs old) having "those days" where I was feeling super explosive and could jump a legitimate 5-6" higher than any AVG day. I could never explain it. Diet? Rest? Types of physical activity I had done leading up to it? It was like the planets aligned or something. Average day, I would get around 38-39" but on those special days I'd be getting 44-46". Again, I'd measure the exact same way (7'0 standing reach [I'm short] to a 10'10). Do you think Jamal had one of those days like I mentioned? There's gotta be a solid scientific answer for this too just haven't heard of one.

How closely id wingspan a proxy for arm length? You can have a longer wingspan by having longer arms or a wider torso. If it's more torso (wide shoulders, normal arms) than arms, then that wouldn't translate to as big of an increase in vertical reach as someone with long arms and normal shoulder width. That would explain some of the variance of reach within a group of people with similar height and wingspan.

THAT's crazy man !!

Hey Coach. He would have jumped higher if you called him Squidward

1:36 First year high schoolers on their first day

Motivational HOPs + fascinating analysis.

I had a 50inch vertical high school I just didint have the cameras on because you know social media wasn’t as big of a thing back then

Freaky freak. Helicopters be "damnnnnnnnn!"

His foot reached waist high of the guy next to him.

Since when do they allow a running start on the vert test? We only got 1 step. My piddly 38” in college would have gone up another 5”-6” with a run up.

You can tell this tester is hyped for his baller! Crazy Hops!

I had a 2" vertical in high school.

they should also measure from the floor and to feet, when his body is stretched out. Then its not about height,, but ability to jump vertically

This is unbelievable!!

First round draft gonna go crazy

He jumps so high that he needs a parachute for landing 😂

Just by seeing this makes me wanna work hard more. I'm 5'7 btw and I tapped a 9'11 ring..

Ther is a much easier solution to measure vertical and that is to use the head because when you know your height you can knock down the bars with the head?

I know this is a commonly asked question but can anyone tell me if you can do vert code bodyweight program and still lift? Thank you appreciate

If the guy can get his head about halfway or so above the rim, then its legit

The hands-free head swipe method on the vertec can't be cheated. Daniel Kabeya hit 50" inches, so he's the record holder. This dude needs to use the same method. Maybe he'll swipe it at 51" or 52" and give Kabeya a run for his money. Until then, Kabeya is the world record holder IMO.

YO JAMAL GANG RISE UP

What was Harlem Globetrotter“Wild Thing” Michael Wilson’s vertical ?

He's 6'2". I'll believe he has a 52 inch vertical if I see the top of his head six inches above a 10-foot rim. We never see that with these guys. And no, I don't mean with the camera at shin-height and the player between the camera and the rim like all these channels seem to do when they're trying to impress us.

When I was in school you couldn’t “run” for a “vertical” leap.🤷‍♂️

Insane.. All good-points!!! Would be interesting to see how he compares to others on the Motion-Tracking+Force-plate..

That push punch go goated

Yes, let the athlete decide how long their approach is. In track and field, athletes decide how long their approach is. I wonder how high he could do the high jump?

Honestly i actually believe this, since if tdub could get his head to the rim then I think even a 55 might be possible

I believe I have a true 50” max vert, but would like to confirm it with you. Is there anyway I could get that done or something?

If you can, ask to Miami Hurricanes college for a kid they had, I think he was puertorrican, he was 6'1 1/2 and he could get his nose to rim level, and the Hurricanes said that in fact his vertical was 52" He played for the Clippers for a couple of weeks like in '07 or 08', but after that he disappeared. I did saw him one in when he played for the Hurricanes, and it was crazy, in warm up he jumped to show how much of his head could be at rim level, at it was up to his nose.

But can he shoot like Ben Simmons?

I did 60” before. I just didn’t have the cameras on

Good day coach. I'd like to ask you something, how tall is he? The one jumping?

his bounce is crazy!!!!!!!

I can do that in my sleep

Pffft. I can jump 100 meters. On a catapult...

Is it normal to have a running start for the vertical jump?

Yoooo ill be scared jumping off something that high!! that man got bounce.

Zion should drop his weight and get a 55in vert

Wonder what this guy could high jump if he learned how to high jump.

Good explanation. What is his standing vertical??

Where to buy this calculator?
