@@ajye8935 I’m sure a lot of players could be faster than John wall if they really tried, but John wall is special because he used his speed so much in games to the point where he was known mainly for his speed
Respect to Muggsy. I was 5'3 when I was 11 and Muggsy was an above average player in the NBA at that same height. If he wasn't 5'3 he might have been better than he already was.
but I feel like a lot of his success was due to the fact that he was so small and could weave through defenders. Like, because of his size he was better in some areas but worse in others. So if you were to make him taller he might actually be even worse, or he would just need to change his entire playstyle. but that’s just my opinion
Bill Russell also deserves an honourable mention for athleticism. At around 6"10, the man was also the 2nd greatest high jump performer in the US - at his peak, he ranked 16th worldwide in the high jump event.
Bill Russell was a better jumper than Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. He was among the best jumper in 1956. Anyway, the 48 inches for both Jordan and Chamberlain is bogus. When they were measured officially, they didn't reach those numbers.
Wilt Chamberlain Archives produced a video in 2013. The author of the video wanted to estimate his incredible vertical. He based his video on his NCAA high jumping record which was 6'6.75. We know exactly Chamberlain's Central Point of Pelvis (CPP) was 45.75". To put his CPP @6'6.75" (or 78.75"), Wilt Chamberlain needed to elevate between 39.6"& 40.35" in order to clear the bar. It is important to note that Wilt Chamberlain always failed to clear 6'7" in competition. According to Wilt Chamberlain Archives, his highest reach with a running start was measured at 12'9" [according to Google Archives], while he was playing for the Philadelphia Warriors at a mere 250 pounds. With a standing reach of 9'6" barefoot, Wilt Chamberlain "only" needed to jump 39.6" in the air in order to reach it... and even if Wilt Chamberlain was able to almost reach 13', his sergeant would be under 45". Like Jordan, 48" isn't realistic or accurate. Jordan was able to jump 46" when measured.
Bill Russell was 3.5” shorter than Wilt but jumped 2.5” higher in the high jump. Wouldn’t that make his vertical jump significantly higher than Wilt’s? Yet no one talks about this.
What isn't being taken into account here is the form it takes to perform the high jump. A great high jumper has to have excellent form to clear the bar, not just great vertical jumping ability.
I was gonna say how the heck a 5’3 can dunk with a high vertical. The dude is only 135 pounds, below average weight compared to todays NBA players. Thanks for the answer Austin!
i think that it is crazy to believe that wilt had a 48 inch vert like I'm sure that it wasn't 48 inches and people are just talking bout wilt like he was a folk tall like sure he might have had a decent vert but ain't no way it was 48
Gheorge and Manute were both 7’7, but Manute had a ridiculous 8’6 wingspan, that’s what really set him apart, plus his height was genetic, not a medical condition.
In my opinion Allen Iverson was right there with them. So, was Damon Stoudamire, AKA "migthy mouse" and Tony Parker was pretty fast too. Kyrie Irving is fast too. And Jason "the white chocolate" Williams was pretty fast too.
False. Darryl R. Dawkins shattered two backboards during his career. He started his NBA career two years after Chamberlain retired. And people in the NBA has been shattering boards before and after Chamberlain's impressive career.
@@peakdread2598 there isnt any proof he got his chest above rim in any known pics or vids, but there was a newspaper back then from around 1960 that reportedly had his max reach at 13'3. This would put his vertical at a maximum of 44-45 inches. I think thats the highest he couldve gotten, I dont believe he ever got to 50.
@@delirious300 yeah while there is no hard proof I believe he got close to it. Going off of his word and the fact that on a block in his older years he still got to the top of the backboard is insane
In my opinion Allen Iverson is the fastest player I've ever seen. Regarding, big feet and shoes, they say that Will Purdue had the biggest feet in the NBA in the 90s, bigger even than Shaq's.
Iverson might be the quickest, or the shiftiest, but I think for pure straight end to end speed, he is slightly before the guys mentioned here. (And maybe John Wall also belongs in that conversation)
great vid one thing tho, prime john wall was faster then both drose and westbrook at their reported max speed. John might not be the fastest ever, but is definitely in that same tier
Idk bro I would add prime lebron and prime DWade both were crazy and Dwades whole nickname was flash so that means something also don’t sleep on prime wall
Darrell Griffith has the highest recorded vert in nba history last time I checked but ok. Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, or maybe you should do your research?? Idk

Imagine if he was 6’
He’d probably have been way up there, maybe not Bron good but would definitely be an incredible player if he was at a normal nba height.

Bob Lanier also had a shoe size of 22. However at 6"11, he is shorter than Shaq (7"1) and Tacko (7"5). So it's more impressive.
Tacko is 7’5

Yessir Austin Coming Out with the bangerzzz
Dude, wilt was 7,1 if he had a 48 inch vertical his chest would be above the rim, thats is def a myth
Wilt spread tall tales throughout his life and career. People repeat it and then others start to believe it.
He even played volleyball after retirement from NBA.
He has clips with his chest obove the rim my guy when he blocked Kareem’s skyhook 3 times in a row his chest was way above rin
And btw that was at 37
yeah i dont remember what video but they broke it down and it was more like 38",39"still super impressive for 7'1" but yeah 48" is super cap
I think Ben Wallace deserves a honorable mention for strongest man but it’s your video and I enjoyed it
and reggie evans
You forgot about Keon Clark for highest Alcohol Intake before an Nba game

Literally 8 feet!! A foot above his height. Highest apex ever
for fastest Wilt is definitely up there

Fastest nba players in NBA history. D Rose. John Wall. Russell Westbrook and Dwayne Wade.
Iverson
@@timhoward5 him also

Fox I am a joke to you
"Or the fact that mugsy was shorter than my mom" lmao
i think wilt might be the best athlete the world has ever seen
Shaq has stated he hit 400 whilst playing in the NBA, I think it was around the time he went over to the Heat.
mj recorded a 46 inch vert in the nba but darrell griffith recorded a 48.5 inch vert while in the nba
Supposedly Kevin Mchale has an 8 ft wingspan which is probably one of the largest discrepancies between height and wingspan.
This was real good and the three players for fastest ever was the absolute perfect 3 people who were the fastest.
True story Big O uses to order pizza at night...then sneak down stairs and put the boxes in front of other peoples door
Sleeping on manutes speed. Bro knew how to run most definitely not a part of the slowests
John Wall for speed
For the fastest player on nba Prime John Wall and Dwayne Wade would’ve been great memtions

What about Steven Adams for strongest player?
My therapist: don't worry masked wilt can't hurt you
