seriously who dunks it better than this man- there may be higher, more powerful, whatever- but this guy does the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. he cokcs back fully, he cuffs it completely, his windmills are complete, and his emphasis on his dunks, his punctuation is ill. i don't know any dunker who looks better than this man here. perfect. if there is anyone better- let me know please - i have to see it!
stormspinner9000 hey, u got no objections from me! its like comparing barishnakov to nureyev, picasso to dali. its all a matter of taste when it comes to this ultimate level of artistry.
The only guy with true 55"+ vert. I do not believe he does not practise the dunks, there is a lot of science behind proper take off, but clearly genetics plays a huge role.
06sk8nsurf Well, he's 5'9'' = 69''. Basket is at 120''. That is 51'' difference. I bet he was couple times app 4'' with his head above the rim so that would make it 55''. But I admit it could have been the camera angle. On the other hand, there are so many guys who claim 48+ vert yet they are closer to 38''. E.g. Jordan, Pippen etc. No disrespect, I'm a big fan of MJ and co. MJ has some crazy hoops with style and elegance and Pippen is a great ball player, but they should stop these BS romours about their vert, especially Pippen, who i think has a maxt vert of 30 - he has freakisly long arms and his standing reach is more than 8'11 he claims, i bet it is more like 9'2'' or 9'3'', so he needs to jump less than 20'' to make a great dunk.
@@SKarea51 I agree with everything else you've said except for the whole "Jordan myth" on his vertical. I'm not a huge Jordan fan....I've never even owned a pair of Jordans but I have done my research on vertical leaps. I know there's a lot of exaggerations with Jordans vertical but he had a bare minimum of a 43 inch running vertical. When you say Jordan had a 30 inch vertical, maybe you mean a standing vertical? Because I know for a fact that he's reached a 45 inch running Max vertical leap just from in game dunks & dunk contest footage. He may not have an average 47-50 inch running vertical but he was at the very least 43 inches, if not 45 inches off the ground.
@@joshuadiaz2330 hi there. I did not mean MJ as an example, I meant Scottie. He is up there with 50" vert next to Michael in the made up max vert tables. Yes MJ was special, he could jump equally well from one foot and 2 feet. Because he had a late growth spurt he probably worked really hard on his vert and with 4-5'' extra height he became a "biest". With great style people copy even today. So yeas MJ could have 47 running one foot vert and may be 42 two feet jump. But no way Scottie, he is just the longest basketball player I ever saw, even there are no numbers about his standing reach. But he is 6'8'', good 3 inches taller than MJ and his arms end at the level of his knees... Easily 9'3'' standing reach. So he will be able to dunk as an 80 years old (he is still skinny and probably will stay like it forever) he needs less than 20'' vert to easily dunk..
Everybody talking about his vertical (which I agree is insane) but nobody talking about his technique. Such incredible form and extension. Oh...and the POWER!!! Best ever. Bar none.
Looking back all these years later this guy was underrated. T-Dub was that guy back in the days and to me is still one of the best dunkers I’ve ever seen.
T Dub is only 5'9 and damn near reached the top of the backboard performing a dunk in 2:22 of this video. Don't know his exact vert but it has to be one of the highest ever recorded on video doing a dunk. T Dub was a freak of nature.
That Dunk At 0:15-0:16 Is FUCKING CRAZY!!!!! It LITERALLY Looks Like He's Walking In Mid-Air!!!!! How The FUCK Does He Get That Much Hangtime At 5'9"!?!?!?! Fucking SICK!!!!! I'm 5'10" And Can Just Barely Do Basic Dunks, Let Alone Doing All Types Of Tricks And Still Having Enough Hangtime Left To Finish!!!!!...I Know People That Are 6'5"+ And Can't Even Do Half The Shit He Does!!!!!
I think his the best dunker in the world. He's dunks are way more faster and exciting than any other dunkers. and he's eastbay and windmill are so smooth. When it comes to pure dunking ability, hes better than vince carter, air up there, etc
till this day april 8th 2018 t dub is still the greatest dunker ever besides having around a 52+ inch vert he also has a 1 sec hangtime back in his prime
I want the honest truth. Is T-Dub really out of shape or not? Teamflightbrothers says that he is fat now and can't jump, yet others say they just saw him play a few days ago. What is the truth?
Thanks bro, that's good to know. then i gotta ask, why is teamflightbrothers lying about his shape? Seems messed up to talk smack about the man who made tfb famous . . .
I’m 5'8 3/8 and I’m trying to become a low rim dunker while working on my vertical, making Basketball VIDEOS, and so much more. My morning height is 5'8 7/8 or close to 5'9.
On another matter I would like to see dunks directed and discussed- with the same level of intelligence and technical knowledge as gymnastics and diving, especially of course in the dunk contest. instead of "wow- he dunked it hard!" - we deserve better commentary and observation- like how many revolutions the guy does, whether the guy has done a proper windmill or whehter they side cuff it, whether they properly punctuate it or whether they just nestle it in, whether they pump their legs, or if their legs are just dangling there. its been 30 years- man time for our judging and understanding of dunk artistry to get up a level- and in doing so- the dunks will improve also, I'm sure. thats right, I'm blaming shit commentary on any shit dunks from henceforth on kenny smith.
@@voidjointx a lot of one foot jumpers(like james white, jordan southerland, zach lavine) can get just as high as the best two foot jumpers. Overall, I think 2 feet is more consistent(and it seems to give off an impression that the jumper has more hang time), but one foot is much better for distance.
one Day they will. I am DUnking since 12 Years now. Most of the Time on concreat ground. Legs are getting old now. But I never did this in a professional way. No training or stretching at all.
Bro, because of the whole “top of the head” actual way of measuring, it’s safe to say if someone was 5'9 forehead height, then because most heads are at least having 1 1/8 inch difference between the forehead and the dome of it, T-Dub would actually be anywhere between a confident 5'10 1/8 to 5'11 1/2. Also, did he get measured to the forehead or the dome, or highest point of it?
I don't understand why you're hating.. NOBODY ever said that he was a good basketball player. Because if he was he would most likely be playing somewhere professional with that athleticism ;)
did he say he was 5 ft 6 9th grade when he first dunked it in game how can you not dunk and then dunk it in the game i don't get it. Michael Jordan had the same thing first dunk in game it drives me crazy as a bit of a baller my self
these days everyone is doin all these fancy tricky dunks but there is no replacement for expolsiveness and power
seriously who dunks it better than this man-
there may be higher, more powerful, whatever- but this guy does the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. he cokcs back fully, he cuffs it completely, his windmills are complete, and his emphasis on his dunks, his punctuation is ill. i don't know any dunker who looks better than this man here. perfect. if there is anyone better- let me know please - i have to see it!
Le- Minh besides prime vince carter of course.
I'm sorry but this guy beats Carter to me
stormspinner9000 hey, u got no objections from me! its like comparing barishnakov to nureyev, picasso to dali. its all a matter of taste when it comes to this ultimate level of artistry.
justin jus fly darwin or something like that 50" vert
Le- Minh Dude nuff said!!!
He has natural hops, there's no way in ninth grade at 5'6 do you just try a dunk.
LMAOOO
Shaun G facts i said the same thing
we all tried to dunk way smaller than that bro.
I do, im 5,1 in 9th grade, i cant dunk 10 feet but i can dunk 8ft 5

Looking back all these years later this guy was underrated. T-Dub was that guy back in the days and to me is still one of the best dunkers I’ve ever seen.
T-Dub is da best dunker, one of the highest jumper and most explosive dunker in the world in my opinion. It's so much fun to watch him dunk.
2:15 he jumped over a guy like literally jumped over him. Not spreading his legs to clear him he bent his knees to completely jump over him. 😳 insane
Factz lmao I had to pause it at his highest point. He flying knee kicks would be crazy🔥😂
lucky genetics
very lucky genetics
***** Can you elaborate, how is this lucky genetics. If he had lucky genetics he would be 6'1+ and in the NBA.
jeremy lin you are right in a way but u can't say that he would have been in the nba. it's not enough to dunk
@@stephify nah man said himself he didn't even lift. It really is genetics
@@stephify dude just randomly tried a dunk when he was 5'6" and made it first try.

I’m stunned. Motivated. Inspired.
we want tdub back!!!!

Damn imagine how sick that would be if you found out u can dunk DURING a game..
Perfect combo of style and power! Beast!!!
Ive hooped with T-Dub maybe 3 days just this week, its crazy that people dont even recognize Him....been watching his dunk videos since i was young
so hes still into dunking ? i've heard that he was now fat lmao
+Roland Bertin yeah he's a hooper i see him everytime i go to the court now not fat at all lol
J-Mil thank god haha
+Roland Bertin he hoops at the park in this video called Walton still
J-Mil is he still dunking? Wow you need to record a video dunking with him man
Where is he now? Its been 5 years now there is no videos of him since then.
So much power from such a little guy
Wow we dunked at the same time, I too was 5'6 as a freshmen when I got my first dunk, difference is I was rim grazing, dude was yamming
Reagan Oha same brugh OMG ...I'm now 5'8 and in 11th grade I can grab with two hands but I miss alot of dunks my standing vertical is sadly only 35
the most amazing thing isnt his hops( which for his height are incredible) but his finesse and flare
After watch all these 5'5" dudes dunking this guy looks big
Some people say that hes touched a ceiling 12 feet high before
Yeah there was a video that him touching a ceiling on tfb's channel many years ago. But im not sure if its 12 feet or not. It was very high tho.
It was 12’6 I just seen the video.
First dude I watched on RUclips dunking crazy like this that paved the way for Jonathan Clark and Jordan K.
超すげー！
T-DUB!!
初めて知りました！
いつか一緒にイベントやりたい！
I think he is better than air up there and blake griffin. His height his vertical the way he dunks it is the best.
He reached over the backboard at 2:23
I think his the best dunker in the world. He's dunks are way more faster and exciting than any other dunkers. and he's eastbay and windmill are so smooth. When it comes to pure dunking ability, hes better than vince carter, air up there, etc

theres a video of him trying to touch a ceiling and someone in the comments timed it and said he was in the air for 1.05 seconds
freakish skills he got power artistic style and crazy hops
Crazy vertical and moves, best dunker in this century
Just the best and amazing dunker in the World , we want the return of T DUB .... 2k13
I’m jumping RL from now on. Like he said he’s one and only. no one will be like him Ever
Is it just me or does the hoop at the k1x shoot look like its 11 feet high and his head is still at the rim this guy never ceases to amaze me
That Dunk At 1:17-1:18!!!!! WHERE THE FUCK DID HE LEAP FROM??? THE FREE THROW LINE???!!!!!!!!!
0:15 from ft line..u can still see him dunking from ft line in some other videos.
Julius Lim Well Gahddamn!!!!!
He's the best dunker in history prove me wrong
Wow.. Awaiting his return. Hoping he still has it.
He was at dunk camp and got his vert tested, not sure what it was, but he is definitely way out of his prime. Still can dunk though so that's nice.
This is freaky. i'm 5'9" and i can barely dunk on a good day, but this guys head is damn near over the rim.
I'd like to see him do the same vertical test they do in the NFL combine.
Is he still that sick? I'm missing new stuff from guys like him and golden child or Air Bama? Did they get old?
Best dunk ever , props to air up there
That's crazy man🔥🔥🔥
As a former dunker, i can say that this man is not human.
I want the honest truth. Is T-Dub really out of shape or not? Teamflightbrothers says that he is fat now and can't jump, yet others say they just saw him play a few days ago. What is the truth?
My homies was just hooping with him today and oh yeah he dunking 💯
Thanks bro, that's good to know. then i gotta ask, why is teamflightbrothers lying about his shape? Seems messed up to talk smack about the man who made tfb famous . . .
Damn love seeing people under 6' fly I'm 5'8" & I'm working on it
Me too

holy shit !! 2:23 dunk
Damn that poster at 1:40 got me goosebumps
I could dunk at five six in ninth grade but nothing like this guys explosion I had to get a running start this guy vertical is insane
He has crazy hops man
Where has he been the last couple of years?
remix legendary dunker mix next? he's a legend for sure

I think teamflightbrothers and slam from above do a good job at analyzing dunks. Tdub used to dunk for tfb btw
dude he did jump over a 7 footer while doing a windmill dunk
this is the best dunker ever let alone under 6'
Soo cool and good
He can do a 540 OMFG
Shocked his legs
Yo i got your 2004 Twin Cities Game All Star Dunk Contest on tape I'm fina upload it i haven't seen anybody post it yet
Man this dude got springs in his legs!
does he do a 2 foot take off? or one? which on is more effective?
dude is crazy... what else can i say lol
Holy shit! Whats the hell is his vertical!!
Holy shit he goes to my high school go Johnson....
I Like This A Lot ! :)
Legend
what did he say about his most memorable most the first time? the muted part lol
In his prime, the greatest dunker of all time
I bet he could break the record for running box jump!
how old is t dub?
he has been around for a while
this guy is the real DunkMaster Darius (if u know what i mean haha)
T-Dub is the highest 2 foot jumper ever.
+Julius Lim 2 foot or 1 foot which one will get you higher?
+TheHardyIII
Depends on he person
number one-sir assac. 55 inch

Ayy St.Paul MN
How did he get his hops like that? Dude is sicc
I was dunking like this in 5th grade
He walks in the air
one Day they will. I am DUnking since 12 Years now. Most of the Time on concreat ground. Legs are getting old now.
But I never did this in a professional way. No training or stretching at all.
Hold my drink....I'll be back
HE AT THE J MINNESOTA STAND UP !
still the goat. And probably never lifted a single weight in his life. Image if he had trained like todays's dunkers!
Master !
This man is ridiculous his head goes near or over the rim off of every dunk... What is life?

What's his vertical (his actual vertical, not the exaggerated "he has a 60 inch vertical!" nonsense)?
he's 5'9 and has a short reach
simon pita he has a 7'7" reach i think. thats not short for 5'9"
i believe 53" running
sorry, i didnt know u had the ability to perfectly guess someones reach by looking at them.
can't be 7 7
Inspiration...
did he say he was 5 ft 6 9th grade when he first dunked it in game how can you not dunk and then dunk it in the game i don't get it. Michael Jordan had the same thing first dunk in game it drives me crazy as a bit of a baller my self
adrenaline
starting dunking he was like 6
Does or did he like weight lifting or this is natural?
Was he in the nba?
Nice cap. Borrowed from Gandalf? Awesome jumping! +
51 inch vert.....INSANE
kenny dobbs is nice but this nigga here is ice cold . Him and kenny dobbs vs. the NBA in a dunk contest.
Just like Air Up There.
is he a native american?
I just started to touch the rim at 13 but I can't dunk just yet
young hollywood now id say check him out trying to to eastbay with medicine ball
