- 6'9" UT Arlington @di5ichi is a freak of Nature who can touch the TOP of the backboard!! Didn't quite get it in this video because his legs were dead from the workout, but check his instagram!
One of the highest jumpers of all time!

This guy is next level athletic for his size. They keep getting bigger and more agile, its crazy.
That's simply not true. There were actually more skilled, uber athletic big men in the 90's and early 2000's than there are today Dominique Wilkins, Larry Nance, Shawn Kemp, Kevin Garnett come to mind. But there were many more freaks of nature back then.
Lol they keep getting bigger? This guy is 6'9. So they aren't getting bigger.
@@theblackschwab3561 Exactly you can even add guys like David Robinson, Orlando Shaq, Chris Webber ect to that list.
His vertical is like 30' how is that impressive?
@@mcmerry2846 If he is 6'9 and the rim is 10ft and he can get his head a couple inches over the rim, he probably has a 40'
This dude would be unstoppable in volleyball
I was thinking the same thing
Yall Tag Masai in this thread??
"6'9" you say?...." Masai Ujiri
Facts
Make sense tho
The way he’s dunking on a 10ft goal is how we all feel when dunking on a 7.5ft goal.
not complaining and I love my height at 5’10… but god damn to be 6’9 and a 10 ft rim feels like a 8 ft or 7.5ft rim lol ahh Id be in the nba lol
It’s like how we jump to high when the rim is low and we end up coming down on the rim
Im not sure i can graze my shoulder on 7.5ft
@@Keviekev115 u wouldnt be in the nba even at 6'9 kid
@@guardseanfr someones mad
This man was “Tired” and he jus casually jumped and damn near grabbed the TOP of the backboard 🤯 shid crazy lol
I think he could have grabbed the top of the backboard. He was well on the way down when he touched the backboard. I'm assuming it would be too dangerous and awkward to touch the backboard at his highest point of his jump.
@@ckobo84 he ever touched the top of the backboard in another video. He claim to be able to get 13'3.
It’s not fair how gifted he is physically. Like he’s playing a video game
Yes
U mad?
@@peewee3030 no
@@peewee3030 dont b hatin'
@@sofanova6542 I think you're confused
Considering where Yannis was when he started and where he is now, this dude has a LOT of potential
u mean Giannis?😭😭
@@alhabsi3545 No I meant Yanni the piano dude....:)
Yannis and Giannis is the same name!! are both close on what mr34's name sounds in Greece; there is not a letter in English that sounds exactly like "Γ"( the first letter of the name); both alternatives G or Y are close!
Giannis was more fluid as he grew up playing the guard spot. This guy seems a bit robotic for 6’9
U mean giannis?
Damn, that's crazy. And I think with some strength training he could get his legs much stronger and it will be even freakier.
Yes
Indeed
Yep.
Yep, he is a blank canvas. His possibilities could be unreal
@@peewee3030 what's that?
For people who don't understand physics, MOST OF THE TIME, the taller you are, the less bounce you will have...this man said F### physics 😭
😂
Facts
Its all about arm length its guys who are 6’4”-6’5” with long ass arms that can rebound, block and dunk with power forwards and centers because of arm length
Nobody:
Everyone on the sideline when he dunks: AYE
Aye
Aye
Aye
...aye
AYEEE
2:20 at that distance, it's crazy how far he jumped off both feet!
off both feet is crazy
MJ use to do that
@@catcountry0099 mj was a once in a lifetime athlete
Yeah that 2:20 one caught my attention too. 👍🏾
@@catcountry0099 All day... ruclips.net/video/I6pUHznB9bM/видео.html
When this guy gets to the NBA and they build up his muscles and strength he is going to go Beast Mode!!!
Let’s not forget Giannis and how he it took him a few years to get adjusted to his crazy growth spurt and get rid of the awkwardness. This guy is a few inches shorter, but the frame is spot on. What’s crazy is he has the frame where muscle is just asking to be put on. 💯
this dude is gonna be 24 by the time he plays his 1st NBA game. Giannis was like 19. Totally different
Hope he makes to the NBA and does something freaky in the dunk contest. Needs to work on his shot and handle to get there though.
His handle doesn't have to be spectacular...but if he can just play solid defense, and set good screens, he'll be solid. Hitting 15-18 footers would definitely help
@@DunkademicsOfficial how old is he? with the right timing and body control, he can be a freak shot blocker, and an automatic alley hoop dunk inside, but he has much potential, can he shoot 3's too?
@@DunkademicsOfficial yep and if he gains some mass
@@thefatboy__goneslim7376 yea he can shoot and hes 22-23
He's an athletic come off the bench defense, rebound and energy guy right now. He can be a good 10-15 minute guy and as his skills develop.......
His leaping ability is insane but what got me is his speed. For someone 6-10 his speed is freakish. Special talent.
He has a good support group, has the height, looks like he has discipline which is the MOST important in any sport ... BUT what i also see, he is smiling and looks like he likes it ... in doing anything YOU MUST LIKE IT , thumbs-up 👍🏽🏀
Freakishly athletic... I wanna see more of his jumpshot and pullup game. The only thing they showed was a corner three and that's the easiest three to make in the NBA and unfortunately he ain't gonna be driving and dunking on everyone so easy. Overall this young man looks very talented and he is going places for sure. This is my first time seeing him, I gotta keep up with him now
A jump shot could be learn or taught
His athletic ability can not
@@MrZaShun uhm, that is why he wanted to see to know if he is NBA ready in terms of Shooting! Not all Athletic Players Can be taught how to shoot, some just can't seem to Shoot even when NBA calibre Trajners Train them, im not saying he can''t shoot, won't learn how to shoot if he still has'nt, but we all know markelle fultz and Ben Simmons so...
@@weretekataknina102 I can name more players that learned how to shoot other names that just didn't
Fultz shoot way better now then he did when he had a mental break down
Ben can shoot better than he elect to show I think it's off fear and plus he know or believe he's better off taking 2s so why take a 3
"I wanna see more of his jumpshot and pull-up game"
Well, you're not going to, because it doesn't exist. In 2 of his last 3 games this season he put up 0 points in 51 minutes of play against Troy and U. of Southern Alabama.
People acting like he's a summer of hard work away from developing into a 20 ppg scorer, just stop lol. He has a future as a globetrotter or RUclips dunker, or maybe some years overseas getting paid decently to dunk and block shots, but that's it
@@leq6992 yikes 😕... he looks way to athletic to be having 0 pts. Just off of Raw ability alone he s/b able to get 12 pts from slashing, fast breaks, and putbacks. He s/b able to get 8 boards and 1 blk easy in 51 mins
This man is a dunk prophet
perfect genetics in all its glory
This man is amazing
Every single one of those dunks were as clean as you can freaking do!
What’s crazy is, he can get this high while he doesn’t seem to have a very well developed approach/ runnup on his jumps off 2-feet (in comparison with the best jumpers, based on 15 years of my observations). He just kind of does a jump-stop. What I’m saying is - He could be MORE EFFICIENT in his horizontal-to-vertical momentum and force redirection/ translation & get even higher. CRAZY. Anyway, his current approach seems to work well for his long levers and kangaroo achilles tendons. A more refined approach with more speed brought into his plant & a bit of a bigger quad and glute engine... I don’t even want to imagine... 👽👽👽
He does lose momentum when he sets his plant to jump, I see what you mean as it can get higher.
i just feel like mechanics for people who are so tall and lanky are completely different. maybe if he fills out like lebron hell have a much more stable base/more power
@@thedude7737 or Giannis. He’s closer to Giannis in build
its not a jump stop, some people tend to have shorter penultimates. For example eyesonheight has a relatively short penultimate and he's jumping 50 inches.. I don't believe stride lengths matter as much for dunking as they do for sprinting or long jumping. Yes most elite jumpers have long penultimates, but maybe the ones with shorter ones are actually more efficient because it means they can produce the same amount of force without having to reach as far.
I'm high AF you the goat for this
I wanna see him at a la fitness 9’9 rims n hang on the top of the backboard 😭
belly button at the rim! lol
Ca fait environ 35 ans, depuis la finale du dunk contest entre Spud Webb et Dominique Wilkins, que je regarde des gars sauter et dunker dans tous les sens, mais ça, je ne l'ai encore jamais vu. La facilité, l'envergure, c'est impressionnant.
Jusqu'ici, visuellement, celui qui m'avait donné l'impression de toucher le plus haut, c'est Kareem Abdul-Jabbar quand il s'appelait encore Lew Alcindor, sur certaines vieilles vidéos en noir et blanc de ses années collège, où il contrait le ballon à des hauteurs incroyables. Ce jeune homme doit être à peu près aussi haut...
So yeah.. some people are born with a gift.. how far he goes in the league is totally up to him.
Insane genetics.
He got bounce.. love it💪🏽
His atleticism is other-worldly. His shot looks ok but they'll help him perfect it. I can definitely see him playing in the NBA.
This guy is going to be a beast😮
Make him do the longest dunk ever beyond the freethrow line he'll be in the news in no time
james flight white was probably best leaper from free throw line
its even more awesome that you get invited to these too!
Kao is really cool, we have talked a ton on social media. Most of his workouts have been in LA, and we've been wanting to get a session together....couldn't get the session, but he invited me to this instead
I hooped with him in highschool he Way bigger n jump higher n taller now Crazy how much he elevated Wish him nun but best of luck in his career
Nice to see someone showing love. Too many negative jealous ppl out there

@@henry7765 I dont see the point in your comment. Yes, we can watch basketball on TV and see how good certain players are.
I agree. Damn athletes everywhere. That don't make them players.
@@kabysummit5801 especially in front of the brightest lights yell
@@jiggnorth3593 I know man.. the great majority of us watch these guy on TV..
Let's not all get too crazy about his jumping ability as there are many college athletes who have great hops. The true test is whether he can hoop against the NBA players, and more importantly whether he can play well in a team setting. Time will tell!!
And damn he is 6’9” already lol
which means a lot in college. but nba is different, especially when every team has at leeast 1 of these guys, who's been doing it longer, and some with at least a little more weight on them. not knocking him, just sayin.
@@r.carter7507 exactly and hopefully he goes to college in put in at least two years
He's actually touching the top of the back board !!!! MAD HOPS !!!! LOL.Wait till he starts maturing into his body and hopefully he's doing strenght training now.
The video is not about whether he can play at the next level…
FREAK!!! Love watching him dunk
Incredible
This young man looks like a real player like his length and size and Athleticisum

@@markzuckerberg5703 oh for real that's incredible
@@Henny_Karoung i think i can. my dad says that i have a pretty good jump
You can find hops like this at Rucker Park on a 6’3 guy. He’s definitely a leaper, but it’s all about the game. Can he shoot, play defense, etc. Not sure how old he is but he’s definitely a great athlete
how is at RUCKER now? still some good players hooping there?
@@Barkleyz87 there’s always good games out there
100% facts. Spud Webb doing these feats were amazing at his height moreso than 6'9 but props to the kid
That’s pretty insane for a 6’9” dude!
That guy is every bit of 6'9"
He looks taller to me
@@DM-bn6bf I’m 6’9 and he’s definitely taller than me, they giving him that KD listing 😂 crazy bounce tho!
He’s definitely like 7’1” lol no way him and Jason Tatum the same height
@@GQ-sl5gq nba always add a couple of inches, i am 6ft in nba i would be 6 ft2
He got hops out of this world plus he is tall as Lurch. Crazy combo.
Wow! He is very mobility for his height!
With the way the nba is transitioning into multifaceted big men, he could be the next Giannis type player
Ofc he is from Nigerian
Shows good endurance and energy for a Big guy
I hope he stays healthy. God bless him.
how many jumps did he do in this one session... wow
My new favorite NBA rookie.
Ayyyeee!! Ayyyyeee! Ayyyeee on repeat!
Lakers need him‼️
Insane 🔥🔥🔥 image that 6’9 guy has a legit 50 inch vertical
closer to like 45-46 range, but ya, he's special
@@DunkademicsOfficial where you think he goes in the draft I think okc would be a good spot
47.5
I have always believed being vertical is not how high you get your feet off the ground, it is how high you get your hands. This guy really shows that!!!!
They are getting more agile and freakishly athletic every 5 to 10 years but Shawn Kemp was doing the same thing he's doing now. With the ball he's nowhere near clumsy. Can't wait to see him in the big stage....💯👍
This dude's agility while being so tall is absolutely amazing! And he can shoot? If he avoids injury and trains right this guy could be legendary in the NBA. I really pray he avoids injuries and the unfortunate pitfalls that so many promising athletes suffer. I'd love to see this guy put on 40 pounds of muscle and train non stop. He literally could he unstoppable!👍
40 pounds of muscle would probably change his game,and mess up his knees. You can add strength without getting bulky.
The days of the traditional big men are over.
If he hits the weights on the regular,and just physically matures naturally,I think he’ll be fine.
@@jackieclark8253 true...did you see the video Deas did about this dude?
@@TracyA123 ...A good example of how to put on weight over time is Karl Malone.
Malone was 230-240 coming out of college,but his already bruising play style warranted that he gain additional muscle.
He ended up being around 265-270,but it happened gradually,which is why I think Malone didn’t miss a lot of games.
This guy’s frame is different...I think he can last in today’s NBA at about 25 lbs heavier to keep that agility,but add strength.
I’m not familiar with the video you speak of...how do I find it?
@@jackieclark8253 I do appreciate that information and I'll happy to familiarize you with Deas......DEEZ NUTS!!!!
@@TracyA123 ...I don’t have time for childish games. What are you...12? 🤦🏾🤣 #Lame
Look like a high flying giannis
To think that this boy will probably fill out and get even stronger with his athleticism geez.
Is a mix between Bo Mamba and Rudy Gobert!!!! What a great athlete. Of course he need work on his strength but is great to see a talent kid like him ready for the best league on the world. But....many players looks great without defenders. We will see soon...
Hes so long(pause) makes him look even taller than 6'9. What is his wingspan?
not sure, but he might actually still be growing
7,4 I think.
His wingspan is 7'4. Good lord 😳
I have a son and none in our family stands more than 5’9” in height. Seeing the young athletes nowadays, I will greatly encourage my son to learn soccer, golf or chess.🤣😂🤣😅🤣
Soccer players contracts are insanely huge....it's going to be big in the States by the next 10 years
Just make him sleep and streetch if he is below 10 he should rest between 4 to 6 without touching any device then make his homework then dinner and be on his bed at 9 o clock thats how i reached my 6,2 (without shoes)
@@DMe74 even more with speed bringin the soccer here
I hope guys like this incorporate alot of knee and legs mobility exercises. I mean more than smaller hoopers cause that athleticism is just too special for injuries.
He going to be fun to watch!
Kid dunk so good the rim screams " ei"
He can be the first one who can dunk from the free throw line with a two foot approach
He did it
Sorry abhisheh, it was already done by a guy 5'9 look up t-dub jumps from free throw line. If you need some more dunk info get at me. Lol
A huge tdub fan 🙌🏽
@@notafraid2dope well how did you miss that t-dub dunk. Lol
@@erickstanford519 na he going to be the first to have both feet behind the line t dub had one foot
Man! I have big hope for this guy. Hopefully he's career will be better than Dwight
if i had this guy's genetics i would never stop dunking honestly
I think nba teams should give him a chance just his height/length and athletic ability alone is intriguing. Like how many people can touch the top of the backboard?
2 him and Ingram
Agree
@@devan8310 Ingram cant touch 13 feet. he touched the top of vertec which is 12 feet.
If the the rim was like 11 feet tall there would be a lot more utility in being able to touch 13 feet compared to touching 12 feet. Unfortunately it's only 10 feet.
@@neoswordian91 I'm pretty sure having a 48 inch vert is better than having a 36
It would be cool if you could meet up with him to test his actual vert without him having practice beforehand
Trust me, I want to very badly!! Hopefully later this year
@@DunkademicsOfficial why is it so hard to test these dunkers actual vertical? I would want to know mines instantly lol
Vertecs only go up to 12 feet! lol
@@DunkademicsOfficial oh ok lol
@@DunkademicsOfficial they can't hit it with their head instead of head then ?😂
One of the most athletic 6'9 ever !!
Im impressed
Imagine when he bulked up😱
it's crazy cuz he's already put on like 25 pounds since he started college. He'll work on adding another 25 this year
When he gets into the league he will get big like giannis.
Giannis was a great college player. This guy sucks. Not even averaging 5 points per game at UT Arlington. He can shoot worth sheeit.
God blessed that man
What exciting is in dunks made by person who is so high? Spudd Webb was incredible when won Slum Dunk Contest in 1986. He is 5 ft 6 in. He did it again in age over 40. That's amazing!
He can do an armpit dunk
more than the elbow dunk
he can put inside the rim his entire arm
Carl Mitchell did it in 03
Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Lebron James… All 6’9, but for some reason, this kid looks way taller than them all. Maybe it’s the weight.
he might still be growing
The lankyness and lack of comparison(this guy next to gym regulars not nba players).
How he slashes by all those defenders before he dunks the ball. Impressive.
I don’t think people understand how insane this guys athleticism is. They just think “oh he’s 6’10” he should be able to dunk and do all that” like no bro. This man is literally touching the top of the backboard which is 13’0 while he’s gassed from the workout 🤯. Y’all need to put more respect on this guy
Guy has get a lot better to make it to the next level. Last season for UT Arlington he averaged 4.7 pts and 4.8 boards per game.
That’s normally referred to as a “stiff” when it comes to stats for a tall guy. He has no shot other than a dunk.
Sadly you're right. Needs a lot of work.
Nah, UTA just has a hard schedule lol
Gives Giannis rookie vibes, he could be next level just like him if bulks up 💯👏🏾
Facts
Freaky!!... Awesome!!
He reminds me of the NBA dunker Skywalker.. 6ft 7 .. light skinned dude with a high top fade.
Exactly like him!
that has to be 40+ 😰 thats fucking scary
Bro is build like KD, like a stick. Can hoop though
Hard to not be built like a stick when you're that tall
@@TronciM I rarely see really skinny tall people. I think some people can eat as much as they want and they will still look like that. But Majority of big men that I've seen, they were built proportionately
@@StevenLeeStudios there's a reason they're the ones playing basketball. It's a blessing to be extremely tall but also built.
@@TronciM I can only wish
so effortless
Just WOW!
I’d put my money on this guy over that ‘49 inch’ verticality kid on a one on one dunk contest without hesitation
This guy is the highest jumper I’ve seen yet
🇳🇬 Nigerians taking over the NBA and WNBA 💪🏾
Un crack!!!💪💪
reminds me of David Robinson from the Spurs. except David was even better.
You need more than dunks in today's NBA my friend 👌
I like this Kid. He is like 8ft tall but dynamic as Hell!
Ujiri has this guy in the works. He is pretty much a guaranteed sign for the Raptors.
He reminds me of a taller and younger Gerald green bro . 🔥🔥🔥
Good comparison
Harold Miner could jump high. Like really, really high. "Next Michael Jordan." Remember Harold Miner? No? Exactly.
Baby Jordan lol. Remembered, but rarely thought of.
Gonna be a BEAST!!!
He sucks. Averaging 4.7 points last season for UT Arlington. Too skinny and can’t shoot.
the fact that this man is gonna be a senior at memphis and not in the nba (yet) shows how insanely tough it is to make it to the league
Definitely the most elite sport league in the world
Wish the Young Man Well ..... BUT
Top Dunkers Aren't the Best NBA Players...
He Has That Penny Hardaway Body Type..
Have Him Watch Penny Or Scottie Pippen
Become A Great Defender an Ball Handler
