For those wondering, Isaiah is 6'2"
His height is 6 feet max.
@@svenmars106 no he’s at least 6’1” I’ve stood next to him and taken pictures so I know for sure
@@jasonzhao8384what's the difference between 6ft2 and 1 from the eye lol you can't tell the difference at all
@@raseanbenton1456 yeah I’m just saying he’s not “6 ft max”
After reading this comment, girls gonna say that he is the only bf material
The 5’4 dude went crazy with the jump
I am 5,6 and can’t even touch the rim 😢😢 but I just started to play basketball 😅😅
@@rainaruto8914got to work out hard man
@@rainaruto8914I’m 5’10 and only touched the rim once lmaooo
He's the mostimpressive
He went bananas lol. Each of these men is up high enough where fall damage is a concern.
They jump so high they take fall damage 😂
Lol
@Z4COD fortnite? Fortnite ain't the only game where fall damage exists lol

He can jump rly high tho

Jump height has some utility in the game but it can also spell doom.A slight bump mid flight and its a major spill.I've seen torn knee ligaments or achilles heel smashed too.Nonetheless,those are impressive athletic gifts.
if your vert is this insane, it usually means your incredibly fast and strong as well. When I trained for my vertical, I had to lift heavy weights and do plyometrics. I was literally knocking, blowing by and pushing people over when i played ball. If you watch Isaiah Rivera play pick up games, I remember him knocking over a bigger and fat guy like he was a flyweight
To add to the other reply above me, your tendons should be extremely strong when you can jump very high. You should be able to land from even higher than you can jump with no problem. This is something to practice/train for. Your feet also need to be very strong along with your Achilles. Essentially you should have no weak links starting from the feet/ground up.
Also look at cats. They can jump very high compared to their standing height but they can also land from almost any position or height without getting hurt. So as a jumper you should be able to land OK even if you get moved unexpectedly in the air.
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 I agree to all what you say.But overuse of body lead to wear and tear.I have seen hoopers in the past blow their achilles tendons doing regular hoop things (not even doing peak physical effort in a game-Kobe Bryant as an example).Im just saying that with impressive athletic gifts,one must also develop skills in the game so that you dont rely only on athletism only to bring you W's.Otherwise,you body will one day give out.
@@triggersafe1 You're also correct about overusing your body. That contributed to my basketball injuries as well. Most pro athletes aren't actually very healthy (don't let how they look fool you). They tend to get overworked in training and practice and years of that imbalanced training contributes to aging the body faster than it should (this is why they deteriorate by 30 years old not because you should naturally slow down at 30).
Former US 800m runner and Olympian Nick Symmonds has said that even though he was in peak running shape for his event he was getting sick a lot and he's actually healthier, in better shape, and stronger overall in retirement than when he was a pro athlete. It appears that traditional professional sports training and competition weakens their immune systems (one reason why you have so many athletes getting Covid, seriously it's like each season in every event in track someone's got it or recovering from it). Anyway I was reading that athletes are taught to train one extreme (yang) and neglect the other extreme (yin) which is the reason for aging early and injuries.
Mobility, good nutrition and hydration and monitoring for over use is important for longevity.@@triggersafe1
The first dude at 5'-4" is crazy
Yeaaahh right? Theyre talking about Isaiah but forgot that 5'4 dude
Almost a foot shorter@@Creator-Shi

Everyone on this list is completely bananas. Especially 5'4" dude. @@deckthompsonjr2887
I'm 5'9" and dunked a volley ball one time on a cold gym day in High School around 1998! Miss those days...😭
DAMN
I’m 5’9” but could only graze the rim with the tips of my fingers right around that same year lol (born in 83)

Chin above rim, hand above backboard are nuts! And then the eyeball test. Several of them passed the eyeball test.
Everyone gangsta until Ronald’s enters the chat
ronaldo has a 39 inch vert, these guys have 50+ inch verts, ronaldo has left the chat
@calebbueckert2345 Bruh Ronaldo literally hangs in the air, and plus he does it with cleats on and on grass which is harder compared to doing it with sneakers on hard floors.

That 5'4" dude...damn...... I'm 5'8" and could remember my prime when I did that Kobe reverse dunk ....We didn't have smart phones back then though,would have loved to have seen that❤️❤️
That's pretty wild. You should try to knock the rust off and do it again. It might take 12-18 months to get back in that condition tho.
Meanwhile, my 6ft ass can't even get more than 5 inches off the ground 💀🤣
Ha ha . Same here. I've never been able to jump high for my height
I'm 7'6 and can barely touch the net.
@@yongyea4147kind of doubt that u are in the 0.019191% or lower percent of people that are 7 foot
@@yongyea41477'6 you'd be able to touch rim with your hand. Your maybe 6'9 6'12 but still should be able to at least touch net. I'm 5'9 and and dont know math but that was a straight lie about your height
Squat heavy, plyometrics, condiiton your knees, idk
Yow, 5'4 is crazy , i hope i got bounce like that 😭
Its all work. Start watching kneesovertoes guy. His shit and Renaissance Periodization will keep you informed to hopefully prevent injury.
If you don't rn u want
@@mariz9964 that ain't true. I've seen non athletes and young athletes who got hurt, end up outperforming their 17-25yr old self at 30-35yrs old. Just takes training and consistency. Youth has a lot of advantages but so does wisdom.
Watched a lot of lifters destroy their joints at young age due to too frequent of heavy lifting and not lifting *buzz word* "sustainably" for their body. They heal up, they come back n lift more sustainable for their form and top new PRs at ripe old ages.
@@wizard8437what in the flying **** are on about? That’s not how physiology works.
Lay off the magic and learn science 🤦♂️
E-commerce, crypto, programmer. Fine. Don’t explain, I don’t want to know.
You don’t.
Imagine being a ball player and your 5’4 opponent dunks on your face at a home game infront of your school he’s got hope 🔥
The awesome gift the Lord gave these young men are amazing.
But can they play defense
Amen❤
the lord gives nearly all humans amazing physical talent --- rarely does the human reach their genetic potential
Most of these men had to work on their hops for years...
@milt6208 there too short to play defense honest reality is that they are just gonna get posted up by a big man every time and there's pretty much nothing they can do about it
Hats off to a dunk at 47. I’m 5’10 and had about a 38 inch vertical. I had the glutes by nature and nurture, but there are a lot of mechanics involved. Also, I had above average core strength. I felt like I was throwing my upper body into the air. I’m 60 and jumping is what I miss the most about my youth. Every once in a while I have a dream about being in a game and I feel like I’m flying again.
I feel you because I'm in my 60's. I still want to play even after unsuccessful back surgery and 5 shoulder surgeries! It's hard when your mind is telling you that you still got it. Then your body tells you something different! Keep on Dreaming Man because you won't go to bed hurting and you'll wake up feeling fresh! I believe that the 60's are the HARDEST YEARS!
PS All my surgeries were in my late 40's & early 50's.
Enough Said !!! ✌️☯️
Enter kevdog: proceeds to jump 50 ft

Bruh the last kid literally flying. Insane vertical 🔥
Don’t forget about Braden Durfee five foot ten and 46.3 inch vertical and second fastest 40 yard dash ever

Darius Clark should have been 1st bro has shoulders went over the rim😮❤
He also did set the world record for highest running vertical jump
@GlNOB that should've been a easy 1st slot
@@blackthunderbird99hu I think Anthony does jump higher than Darius considering his size but its still probably pretty close
Anthony Height is 4in shorter than Darius Clark, but still reached the same level, that's why (I think). Wish we had a better angle to see their shoulder comparisons to the rim.
Also the hoop on the last one is 12 feet 🤣
Kadour Ziani sparked my interest in these videos about 15 years ago. He's 5'11" and can dunk from the free throw line. Not sure about now but at his prime he was considered one of the best dunkers.
I used to touch my head on the rim in warmups in college. Now Im good for the bottom of the net-which I can grab without jumping. lol
Im never complaining about my height again
its crazy how isaiah is the only one above 6ft tall
yes. and they forgot to daa his height here.
It’s scientifically proven that there are more great athletes between 5’6-5’11 than at any other heights combined. Quick twitch muscle fibers favor those body types.
@@jahitrotter4734 and that’s what makes nba players so impressive lebron james 44 inch at 6’9, Michael Jordan 48 inch at 6’6, serge ibaka 42 inch at 7ft.
You just can't jump as well with lanky legs
@@zp491 he has a 50.5 inch vertical
Darius Clark is OP. Bro needs a nerf. And after that nerf. Nerf him again. Just to be safe. 😂😂
nah they are legit just levitating
I’m a 6’0 white guy from Australia. I could touch my head on the rim back in 1994 - I was 18yo then. I’m now 47 and can still dunk but it’s really ugly and has zero style these days. I’ve never trained or been to a gym in fact I’m overweight (94kg) atm but I have just always been able to jump really high. I believe it’s 80% mental. Start believing, truly believing you can dunk and just about anyone 6’+ will be able to. Good luck kids!
Так и есть 🤝
Not mental. I’m 5’10 and used to be able to dunk. Started having lower back issues. It’s about mechanics, how your body is built and leg drive
Ah yes, if I believe enough, I'll just dunk it lol. It's purely physical. Can't do it, can't do it. You can train for it though.
im 44 last time i jumped got artrosis on my knees.
Some people are simply built for jumping. I’ve been training to improve my vert for many years and am not seeing much progress . Sometimes I meet people who don’t even lift, never trained their vert, and yet they got incredible hops. You can train all you want but you cannot change the limits of your genetics.
That dude in the middle of the video that was 5’6 should have won. That dude…wow
I been workin on my vertical so when I see these kings in inspires fosho💯🔥
Daniel kabeya looked like he didnt even try lol crazy bounce
Those vertical jump was like 4 ft+🤯🔥🏀
I'm 51 and remember back in high school during PE class when we were just trying to "get the rim".😄 I ended up with a 39" vertical at 6'1", but these guys today put that to shame. Unbelievable.
If you had a 39" vertical at 6'1, you would be able to touch rim at 11 feet.
6'1 with a standing reach of 8'1 + 39 inch vert = 11'4
These guys have access to RUclips and can do all the exercises. We had no idea other doing calf raises or wearing those shoes.
Its wild the difference between trained and untrained. Exercise science is a legit thing
@traviscox1617 Got a question I'm 6'4 and I've been jumping my 30 inch box with 20lb medicine ball and a 40lb weight vest how much do yall think my.max vert is?
@@rodplays3726 uh... least 30"...
I'm gonna guess 37"?
What you trying to say Willis?
All of them were sadly given heights they don’t deserve but there verticals helped them reach the height they did deserve
It's how they show us that yeah I'm 5'6" on the outside, but my spirit is a 10ft giant
That was me, until my 'trick' knee.
Impressive. Very nice. Now let’s see Paul Allen dunk.

Chris Spell is so underrated 😢
they only jump 3 more feet than i do
7 was crazy. It looked like he didnt even use half his power
I would have imagined more people would be over 6 ft for this list. Since you got guys like Vince Carter they can almost fly in his prime.
😮 That was incredible. I like how some of those dudes would straightened their arms out and then push down against gravity to seemingly get more elevation, almost like wings. AMAZING 👍!!!
These dudes were born short and said, "How do I get myself to regulation height? ".. fkin respect 💯
POV they just drank flowberry fizz
*Ronaldo:”hold my agua”*
Darius Clark putting the rim to shoulder level is just a different view.
The white boy Riley got hops forreal!!!❤
Esses caras aprenderam com os cangurus pra fazerem uns pulos desse tipo. Eu queria ter um impulso desses pra eu fazer umas enterradas, e cravadas loucas e ganhar as apostas dessa modalidade de disputa. Acho que o gafanhoto do Jáh Morant iria se roer de inveja de mim. Pensem em um duelo.!
All were impressive… but Ty Jackson and Anthony Height stood out to me…..🏀😱
The Jurassic Park font tho 💀
This proves how important being able to jump through the roof is in terms of getting you a spot on an NBA roster
Isaiah is a beast yo
I think #2 was actually the highest leaper, he had his chest at the rim while everybody else was just neck above the rim.
Given no 1 is much shorter.. then he got the most powerful jump
sigh......nobody had their chest at the rim. Do we really need to explain the illusion created by the camera angle?
@@troy5731 nope we don't because we are all human beings with a brain capable of the thing called perspective, at least some of us are i guess

Those dudes have some serious hops.
Isaiah did not only have the highest jump but he also had the cleanest landing, check how balanced he is when he lands, it's like he only jumped one foot.
This is pretty incredible
First and Last were crazy
The last one is relatable
When someone has verticals like these they can also run fast as hell
not necessarily but sprinting is a good exercise to do to build fast twitch muscles and reactivity
These dudes are ridiculous. Much props
The curse of having a huge vertical is you can jump so high that you can injure yourself on the way back down because your so damn high up there. Mine was 40" which is way above normal but these boys are remarkable.
isiah Rivera actually has the world record for vert of 50.5
As a kid in the 80's if you were able to touch the rim with the tips of your fingers you were a celebrity.
The fact that #1 athlete is called Height is pretty cool
They jump like i do, when I'm having a dream then i wake up and remember i can only slap the backboard
crazy hops to have that vertical at 5'4
The bounce is ridiculous
Reminds me of Vince Carter putting his arm through the rim during the Slam Dunk Contest
Thats like a super power fr
I've been playing basketball since I was little in cement and I can touch the board with my head, imagine when I jump in a normal professional court...
Riley was building torque with that jump
Bro the orange shirt guy be flying lik God 💀
My Achilles hurt watching this😂
Daniel Kabeya headering the noodle is massive
I am 5"7 with 36" vert. I know it's higher, but that's what I was measured at.
Yous guys gotta see "Toubi Lawal(VCU>VT)"....he has a 50" vertical leap & a running leap even higher....for those that know....think "David "Skywalker" Thompson(NCSU)....he is a must watch in Mens College Basketball...he is so quick....and YES...he can touch the top of a regulation backboard.....which is 13'.....& by the way....he is 6-8.....unduckingbeleivable!!!
Fun fact, there’s a word for when someone’s name is particularly suitable for what they do like with Anthony height. It’s called an aptronym
🎶 I Believe I Can Fly, I Believe I Can Touch The Sky 🎶
🎼 R. Kelly
Ok, I no longer have an excuse.. the first guy is shorter than me and his head reaches the rim..
I see years of resentment, frustration and vertically challenged fury released in every leap…
Time to raise the rims 12.5 ft
Camera cuts to Wimby standing there with his chin just sitting on the rim:
Wimby: did I break it?
Adding their vertical would’ve been nice
Bro so humble he held this man's family at gun point so that he wouldn't be included 😊
Imagine having to worry abt fall damage when u jump
Isaiah Rivera and Darius Clarke are the only two people who have OFFICIALLY recorded above 50”
Ofc I don’t doubt multiple others on the list probably clear that as well.
All of em did the lil kick stretch at the peak of the jump except 8 and 3 🐣™️💯
Isaiah Rivera: height? Does it matter, dude has pop.
