To all those people who don't know Kadour Ziani the dude was doing these dunks in the 90's and early 2000's before everyone started practicing to be professional dunkers, that's almost 15 years before half of these guys he was the originator, pretty incredible at the time no one had seen anything like him at the time.
I don't remember where I seen him but I remember him. I want to say he did an uncredited primo for someone. Other then him, Dobbs is who I think of . He has to be one of the earliest pro dunkers
I don't believe any of these numbers are right..... they say MJ had a 50" vertical but I've never seen him grab the top the the backboard... Verticals are like dixks people seem to feel the need the exaggerate to compensate..
@@christianhenry4173 look up Wilts height + reach + 50" vert. That would mean he could put close to his elbow to the top of the back board. From what I've read the measurements taken back then weren't very accurate.
@@astroboy5456 that's idiotic go watch the films his reach from the tip of his finger is 13 inches. He did reach his arm at the top of the back board go look up the highlights
He definitely has the most style of anybody on the list. I'd say the only thing that puts him below anyone else is their creativity on what unusual thing to try to catch the crowd's attention. But he totally reminds me of Vince Carter with his explosiveness and the ferocity of the dunks.
I grew up with a guy that was 5'5 to 5'6 who could dunk. He use to just glide in the air like it was nothing. He never played basketball or even watched sports but use to just dunk
My favorite #3: Guy Dupuy. The dunk that he shot a 3pt jumper made the shot timed it perfectly to catch the ball after making the shot in mid air and dunked over a dude bent down under the rim. Now that's an insane trick shot dunk
Excellent classement...ziani était monstrueux fallait voir le jump du type...totalement dingue!! Le type avait même calmé Jordan venu en exhibition à Paris en 91. Merci de le réhabiliter mec ! Les autres sont évidemment des monstres mais pour le plaisir du jump le plus pur ziani c'est le numéro un sans conteste :-)
Props to the guy who made the video. Never thought he'd even mention Kadour Ziani. This dude was crazy, at 5'10" he could touch the top of the backboard or he could even touch the rim with his foot. His dunk from the free throw Line was impressive too
Joel Verdier I have Air up there as my 2nd favorite, but Jordan still has him beat. AUT does some really cool dunks but no one even really knows what the hell Jordan is going to do next.
Second that. He's got swag. Power and no BS dunks usable in a game as he proved endless times. For me nr 1. 2nd would be Reemix (Myree Bowden). 3rd T-Dub, 4th JK....
Jp Pascual that wouldn’t mean his head over rim. Do u know how the vertical test works? And how dunking works? No one jumps there vertical when dunking
Jeremy Hjf32805 there's plenty of guys on this list that could just stand there and jump straight up in the air and hit their shoulders on the rim. These guys are jumping 15 feet away doing 360 windmills jumping over cars of course they got that kind of vertical leap! there's been plenty of players that can grab a quarter off the top of the backboard. Evan Ungar has a 65in vertical leap
Iam short man..but i can jump well. And after checking the reason why. Is :must have strong legs and you made them by raining a lot. And the way how you jump.
Marko Paunović yeap... his head would be ar 11'2" or 340cm...by more than a foot at least which means his shoulders should be touching the rim...no way he can jump that high
Sam Peskoff So can people shorter than him. Here's a list of the ones I remember: Jordan Kilganon, Will Bunton, Young Hollywood, Isaac White, and others, all of whom have around a 50" vertical. Also, the video of Dupuy kissing the rim is the highest I've seen him go. Also, if Guy had a 59" vertical, he would be able to dunk on a 12' rim, but the highest he's dunked on is 11'3" and he barely got that (still ridiculously impressive though). Anyone who is around 5'10"-6'0" tall that has a 48"-50" vertical can kiss the rim. Someone who is 6'0" tall with a 48" (or 4') vertical will have the top of their head at the rim. Based on all that, Guy's vertical would be anywhere between 47"-51". They get the 59" vertical from Guy's box jump. If we were gonna go by that, then Jordan Kilganon would have a 75" vertical, which we all know is not true (his vertical is around 48"-52"). The highest I've seen Kilganon dunk was on the first season of the Dunk King. It was his 3rd dunk, 1st dunk of the battle round, where he jumped over 2 people (one is 6'3") twisted back his body and dunked it home. The top of his head was around 2"-4" above the rim and Jordan is about 6'1" tall, so you do the math.
You guys either don't know, or are forgetting about how your vertical is measured. It's not just about how far your feet leave the ground. It's measured from a flat-footed standstill, and it's about how far you can reach with your hand at the top of your jump.
I really like Terry Cournoyea. 5'9" guy here put at 8. He's jumping non-dominant foot last which means less height but more power and still getting a 540 two handed.
That dunk staples did in the beginning of the video where he crucifixed then froze in the air while gliding pass the rim then 180'd while cuffing the ball and poked it clean was AMAZING!!!

Very very good selection of dunkers. Those guys are all unbelievable. Watching Air Up There doing his crazy dunks so easily is such a delight and seeing Kadour Ziani (pay attention to the dunk at 7:09 where he takes off from really far) as number one makes me feel so good because it's really the minimum he deserves.

@@YouGotOptions2 I understand that and you can be right but it's very difficult to know. One of the reason I chose Kadour Ziani is because he must be the shorter guy in that list of crazy dunkers.
JWilson12 it has been mission impossible for a long time, probably changed it for the show due to copyright. Changed Guy Dupuys nickname from ‘The Frequent Flyer’ to ‘The French Villian” as well
@@millsymb1883 Good point by you. I'm sure the Hollyweird execs were gonna sue him if he kept the "Mission Impossible" nickname. Screw it, "MythKiller" is better anyway.
Kadour ziani also did a lot people never tried and he have the greastest vertical of all time and the only who can do the foot to the rim and he was the trainer of jordan kilganon
If Guy Dupuy actually had a 59” vert he’s getting his head to 11’2... I’ve seen many videos of him dunking and his head barely reaches rim (still impressive) and I saw a vid of him struggling to dunk on like 11’4 which would been no problem for him if his vert was even 46” or so inches
I call BS on some of these verticals. 6'3" with a 59inch vertical lol dude would just about bang his belly button on the rim and forget about dunking with nipple piercings.
Dude would be fucking jumping over the backboard ive seen dudes like zach lavine in the NBA get his head level with the rim and his vertical is 46" i mean shit the guy we call air Jordan remember him u know the GOAT his vertical was a lil over 48" and we have clearly seen his head level with the rim so 59 and 60s are just simply bullshit now not saying these dudes werent great at dunking but lets not sell us a bunch of bullshit along with it
ha ha this is hilarious because as soon as I saw that dunk I left the exact same comment right away and then scrolled through comments to read yours. ha ha
7:30 Kadour Ziani at the Parc de la pepiniere, Nancy France, represents!! this is where i grew up and i remember seeing Kadour there (like 3 on 3 batigere tournaments, that was a great time!! so proud o fhim getting the first place of this ranking
Yep all the verticals listed are way off. Especially considering the low angle of the camera. A 6 foot guy with 48 vert would have his head at the rim. Didn't see any of these guys heads over the rim. Not takin anything away from the dunkers, but verts are all wrong.
He probably couldn't get a lot of the footage he wanted to into this video. If you watch a lot of these dunkers in other videos, their heads are at the rim, sometimes higher. I will say that Guy Dupuy's and Kadour Ziani's verticals are bs though. I believe they got Guy Dupuy's "vertical" from him doing a 59" tall box jump. If we're going by that, Jordan Kilganon has a 75" "vertical" (his real vertical is around 50", he's 6'1" and I've seen his head above the rim)
Don Anderson Jr. Listen your max vert is measured strait up, but when dunking from a distance it will not be the same. It is always down by about 4 or more inches since you are not jumping straight up depending on the person or type of dunk. Try it yourself you will see.
There's no way most of these vert measurements are correct. A 6' tall dude with a 60" vert means the top of his head is a foot over the rim, which I've never seen on this video or any other. That's like neck at the rim. C'mon man.

Porter is INCREDIBLE 🤯 He impressed me the most.
if dupy had a 59 vertical his head would have been over the rim by a lot

Marko Paunović he can kiss the rim
Sam Peskoff
So can people shorter than him. Here's a list of the ones I remember: Jordan Kilganon, Will Bunton, Young Hollywood, Isaac White, and others, all of whom have around a 50" vertical. Also, the video of Dupuy kissing the rim is the highest I've seen him go. Also, if Guy had a 59" vertical, he would be able to dunk on a 12' rim, but the highest he's dunked on is 11'3" and he barely got that (still ridiculously impressive though). Anyone who is around 5'10"-6'0" tall that has a 48"-50" vertical can kiss the rim. Someone who is 6'0" tall with a 48" (or 4') vertical will have the top of their head at the rim. Based on all that, Guy's vertical would be anywhere between 47"-51". They get the 59" vertical from Guy's box jump. If we were gonna go by that, then Jordan Kilganon would have a 75" vertical, which we all know is not true (his vertical is around 48"-52"). The highest I've seen Kilganon dunk was on the first season of the Dunk King. It was his 3rd dunk, 1st dunk of the battle round, where he jumped over 2 people (one is 6'3") twisted back his body and dunked it home. The top of his head was around 2"-4" above the rim and Jordan is about 6'1" tall, so you do the math.
the top of his head would be 6 inches above the rim
You guys either don't know, or are forgetting about how your vertical is measured. It's not just about how far your feet leave the ground. It's measured from a flat-footed standstill, and it's about how far you can reach with your hand at the top of your jump.
I think air up there is the best...even Vincent
I really like Terry Cournoyea. 5'9" guy here put at 8. He's jumping non-dominant foot last which means less height but more power and still getting a 540 two handed.

Domagoj Rucevic you forgot Guy Dupuy bro
What is the song
remember the name - fort minor
Gabby Acuna still Dre instrumental
And the French Dunker too.
we need an updated list because JClark has CLIMBED those rankings
There is an updated list from 2020 on my page. With commentary 👍
Air up there vert.. is however high he feels like jumping
order is debatable but GREAT list! ignore those dudes who don't know what they are talking about.
T dub will forever be my favorite. He just dunked so fuckin hard
The dunks are cool, but the vertical leaps are exaggerated.
Yeah no one in the world has a 60 inch vert lmao
@@Aso.69 kangaroos might lol.
its their max vert that they have ever gotten not their consistent vert
Anish Fernando still though like that doesn’t seem possible
DasLuiz idk bout that but no one has proof
Guy Dupuy’s nickname is the French villain.
Colin Crews thank you someone else new that.
Another man that saw the dunk contest
for me. the style and the vertical combined air up there is the best in this video..
The nickname of Jordan kilganon Is The Mythkiller
JWilson12
it has been mission impossible for a long time, probably changed it for the show due to copyright.
Changed Guy Dupuys nickname from ‘The Frequent Flyer’ to ‘The French Villian” as well
@@millsymb1883 oo
@@millsymb1883 Good point by you. I'm sure the Hollyweird execs were gonna sue him if he kept the "Mission Impossible" nickname. Screw it, "MythKiller" is better anyway.
Jordan is number 1 he is undoubtedly the worlds best dunker just look up his video 10 New Dunks Never Done Before by Jordan Kilganon
Look up his 100+ Dunks never done in the dunk contest! 2017 slam dunk contest edition. It has 130 of his ridiculous dunks!
Nicki Demes det
Obviously you dont know who dupuy is ...Dupuy should be number one.
Kadour ziani also did a lot people never tried and he have the greastest vertical of all time and the only who can do the foot to the rim and he was the trainer of jordan kilganon
These dudes would revive the NBA slam dunk contest. Give these guys a national presence to showcase their stuff.
I sprained my Achilles watching this video ..
If Guy Dupuy actually had a 59” vert he’s getting his head to 11’2... I’ve seen many videos of him dunking and his head barely reaches rim (still impressive) and I saw a vid of him struggling to dunk on like 11’4 which would been no problem for him if his vert was even 46” or so inches
Probably watched him on a bad jumping day... maybe 59 was a PR
@@Existentialkevhell no your vert never drops off by more than a foot day to day their whole lives are dedicated to prevent that from happening
They were all truly amazing!
3:51 he broke the rim a bit
kilganon
AUT
The French Dunker
T- dub
Kenny Dobs/ Just Fly
Great video vertical 60 is nuts
They should be allowed in NBA slam dunk for Elites world title
6:44 Kenny Smith: It's over ladies and gentlemen, it's over!
4esthetics yeah that junk was it for me too. What the!? The accuracy is nuts.
Great list‼️
I call BS on some of these verticals. 6'3" with a 59inch vertical lol dude would just about bang his belly button on the rim and forget about dunking with nipple piercings.
Dude would be fucking jumping over the backboard ive seen dudes like zach lavine in the NBA get his head level with the rim and his vertical is 46" i mean shit the guy we call air Jordan remember him u know the GOAT his vertical was a lil over 48" and we have clearly seen his head level with the rim so 59 and 60s are just simply bullshit now not saying these dudes werent great at dunking but lets not sell us a bunch of bullshit along with it
Dont skip back day
Right? The standard door is about 80” tall lol.
@@screamingguy3897 bros dont let bros skip back day.....bro lol
I think it’s a typo on that one. The other ones are believable though
It's really not the height that really matters, but the STYLE OF THE DUNK.
Actually in some matter yes but no cuz of ppl like webb
The inspiration I needed!
That French Dunker though got me shocked. Power - Creativity - Difficulty damn!!
That Chris staples dunk tho
blaq goat he got robbed that shit was on hit. Top 3 at least
I went to high school with Chris he could bounce then to
ha ha this is hilarious because as soon as I saw that dunk I left the exact same comment right away and then scrolled through comments to read yours. ha ha
Good to see the air up there getting some love. Hes my #1 tho. Mr 720
4:06 i think the nickname none sounds cool
6:44 sick dunkk damnn!
That was fun- thank you!!
I call BS on the 60" vertical
Thought Guy Dupuy's nickname was "french villain"
Trevor Tracey it is.
7:30 Kadour Ziani at the Parc de la pepiniere, Nancy France, represents!! this is where i grew up and i remember seeing Kadour there (like 3 on 3 batigere tournaments, that was a great time!!
so proud o fhim getting the first place of this ranking
Wow. Such amazing talent. Clearly these men should be awarded millions for being able to jump and dribble a basketball.
Yep all the verticals listed are way off. Especially considering the low angle of the camera. A 6 foot guy with 48 vert would have his head at the rim. Didn't see any of these guys heads over the rim. Not takin anything away from the dunkers, but verts are all wrong.
He probably couldn't get a lot of the footage he wanted to into this video. If you watch a lot of these dunkers in other videos, their heads are at the rim, sometimes higher. I will say that Guy Dupuy's and Kadour Ziani's verticals are bs though. I believe they got Guy Dupuy's "vertical" from him doing a 59" tall box jump. If we're going by that, Jordan Kilganon has a 75" "vertical" (his real vertical is around 50", he's 6'1" and I've seen his head above the rim)
Taylor Umbers nah probably 50"
Jordan white dude 2 of his dunks were at or over the rim
Don Anderson Jr. Listen your max vert is measured strait up, but when dunking from a distance it will not be the same. It is always down by about 4 or more inches since you are not jumping straight up depending on the person or type of dunk. Try it yourself you will see.
Universal Life Thank you. I thought I was the only one to watch this vid who was smart enough to understand that.
THANK U FOR THE KILGANON MENTION THANK UU
There's no way most of these vert measurements are correct. A 6' tall dude with a 60" vert means the top of his head is a foot over the rim, which I've never seen on this video or any other. That's like neck at the rim. C'mon man.
Remember that we are looking from ground-level. Their heads ARE above the rim.
loul deing got his neck at the rim
Kadour Ziani could do a clean free throw dunk at 6 foot tall. It was 20 years ago but this is all true
with ezzzzz my friend :)
Please! what's the song at 7:05?? I listened this with lyrics on radio, what is it? Great video!
Hall of fame
@@cultmoss4482 wow! very fast to answer! thank you so much!
5'5, he is goat.
air up there is best so far !
