What’s most impressive is that Shaq at 325 was able to jump that high
Shaq didn't jump that high. He's talker and has a massive wingspan/ standing reach. Prolly could jump 33-35 inches.
Shaq was 325 in LA during our 3peat he set that record in Orlando and he was under 300 pounds that was when shaq was an athletic beast
amare Logan still very impressive for a 300 pound man but that’s for correcting me
Lil Dagga oh yea def that shit is impressive asf I'm a laker fan and a shaq fan so I wasn't trying to belittle or nothing just making convo
Shaq also wasn't trying to set the record
Tacko fall has entered the chat
I mean unless tacko wants to compete in the nba dunk contest he has absolutely no need to work on his vertical, since he literally has 10’2” standing reach which means all he needs is like 4 inch vertical to do a full reverse dunks, two-handed dunk etc. And if I’m not mistaken his vertical is between 26-28 inches which is enough for even a 6 ft man to dunk, so that’s actually pretty good.
Facko tall
that man cant jump
Googlewhyistherenoavailablefkingname ahhhasdad90001 your point?
@Googlewhyistherenoavailablefkingname ahhhasdad90001 When you're 7'7 your vertical is going to be low
Dude can reach it without jumping probably
This is from like 7 years ago...
Andrija Pejovic hint why it’s an archive
Well 8 years now, happy new year
Wedx 23 so ok who cares it was 2011
peja 98 yea before he was gay
Now it's 10 years old
Imagine trying to do a layup against Dwight
James Barber He’s packing it every time 😂
@@gavix-sr2wt you sus my guy
Assassin Rylles 69.0 I am forreal brodie Dwight got that gliz if you know what I mean😈
You can't
You getting sent into oblivion
Dwight Howard is definitely a Hall of Famer
no he isn't. the bar for hof players is so low in the nba.
@@mattirwin4638 time all start 8 time all nba, 5 time all defensive, 3 times Defensive player of the year(in a row), 5 times rebounding leader and 2 times blocks leader not enough ?
@@kazukitopham4359 if this mf was in the MLB he’d need a chip and still wouldn’t be first ballot. jus sayin
@@mattirwin463 he’s got a chip
@@mattirwin463 if it's so low why wouldn't he get in? like kazuki said, 8x all nba and 3 dpoys
What if Boban Marjanovic did the 12ft dunk without jumping
he can barely dunk on the 10 foot rim without jumping
Tf he gon do? Fly?
congrats for winning your 1st ring Dwight!!
When you jump above 40, landing is really difficult. Remember how Kobe's feet slid out from under him when he landed from a dunk. That comes from jumping too high. I used to fall like that all the time and people thought I was hurt. It's just the force from landing.
This isn’t ‘09, no ones called Dwight Superman since then. Shape up.
Del Common 😃
This was filmed in 2011
Anwar Munroe nah. I hope not
nick clay It’s in the description of the video
Anwar Munroe SMH
Look at Wilt, he almost touched the top of the backboard in game!
His hand was over the back board in one video
@@snow_boi2178 Please supply this video LOL
@@TheKrimeScene his neck was above the backboard
@@SuperTDSmith LOOOL. Please supply evidence with video links
source: trust me bro
Despite being smaller than Shaq, he did it
He sounds like coyote peterson
Watching this on quarantine
They should test ZION!
I saw the youtube video that zion reaches top of the board
Shaq been mad ever since this came out 😂😂
They need to bring this back man fr
i think javale couldve done that too, when he was a bit younger
Yes
Wilr Chamberlain could touch the top of the board
Taimoor Khan if he tried
Taimoor Khan if he tried
And grab a penny on top of it , flip it and stay up to know if it was heads or tails
Taimoor Khan It was never proven with anything. It's basically just a myth.
@@loser5960 9'6 standing reach
about additional 4-5 inches needed to touch top of the board.Chamberlain may jump higher,you can see that the head of Howard is still under the rim in his highest jump.
can we just have a moment for who edited this.
I miss this series
1:22 is the most cringes shit ever
DC Universe nah gfy, I didn't mind it.
The real Superman.
He's the coolest of the middle schoolers now.
The fact that he could still go higher because he was going down when he touched the backboard
Wilt chamberlain touched 13’ his first nba season
No, it is in the highschool game. But there is no video of it. But I still believe Wilt can actually do that
Now this man is 6'9
Barely 6'10 (6'9.75
Yes....!!!!
He pulled himself up on the backboard foam
Andres Ruiz no he didn’t he just smacked it
Entonces Michael Jordan se colgaba de la parte superior del marco del aro, porque la cabeza le tocaba el aro, Howard llega un poco menos pero porque tiene brazos largos
remember when cp3 jammed that shut on you?
Or they could have used a Vertec so he doesn't have to struggle to position himself with a backboard in his way...
Wow now that Dwight killing again they finally talk about him again smh 🤦🏽♂️
9 You are right but so is Lil Dagga. Because Dwight is putting up Orlando-like numbers of points and rebounds in Charlotte, he is getting attention again, i.e this flashback video.
I pass my physics class by being 5'6 and able to dunk because they couldn't explain how I did it.
haha this is awesome
I dunno... Back in 1995 the Sonics played a pre season scrimmage game at Seattle Pacific University, when Kemp was in his prime. I made it a point to sit in the bleachers with my eyes at rim level hoping to see how high Kemp might get up for a dunk... He caught an alley oop in the second half and his friggen shoulders were at rim level on the catch and he dunked it on the way down with a tarzan swing... I've always wanted to see that dunk again because he really had to chase the crazy lob he was thrown and it was a miracle he dunked it... It remains the most nerf hoop thing Ive seen with my own eyes to this day... And he wasnt tea bagging his teammates, he was kneeing them in the face...
I would love to watch this in science class...
The fact that he jumps 40 inches with that height
The real superman wins rings
ben kennedy corny
ben kennedy oof
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👍👍👍👍
A championship is based around a team not one player
Dwight gonna win rings with lebron
You guys should do a sports science jordan kilganon how does he jump so high
I feel wilt chamberlain has the highest touch in nba history
Wilt had a reported 13'3 max reach in 1959
should've made him jump without the equipment, i mean, you could collect those data afterwards
It would be harder to calculate. Because they computed for the force of his jump. And you can't just compute it by visualising.
KFC I mean they could make him jump 2 times, one with the equipment and the other not.
His ball handling increased
Awsome
Robert wadlow could just stand and reach above that.
JoeCnNd true, wasn’t his reach like 12’6?
@@Chase-ib3zo he was 8 foot 11 inches like 2 metres 72 cm so i guess way more than that
Yes he could heas the real deal super,an
just imagine tho if rudy gobert can generate this same ammount of force his not only lighter than dwight he also has a higher standing reach.
why do they record the vertical jump and not the vertical reach in basketball? Surely its better to reach the highest even if its some jump and some height 🤷♂️ Short guy can have one of the highest vertical jumps but its useless if his reach in comparison to others is rubbish.
Giannis on here hanging in the top of the backboard
Giannis cant jump like Dwight in his prime
Mamute bol, Tacko fall, and Gheorge Muresar has entered the game
He returned to the Lakers
Stupaman is in the building...
Jordan in space jam:fina i will do it my sell
How about zion Williamson vertical leap?
Lakers need he back
Who back after 2021 season?
Imagine this Dwight at the Lakers now
This is not the highest NBA reach, Wilt Chamberlain holds that record.
Without proof
What is that record?
@@Marcus-mk3sd 13'3
Hes using his right hand as a little extra oomph
Shaq punchin air rn
Yao Ming and bol bol would kill this
I thought he was talking about about cam newton
No disrespect to Dwight here but imagine what Wilt would’ve hit, dude was jumping to 12 feet with half effort blocking shots
He is using his right hand to get higher.
shaq did it IN GAME if he were still in his prime he coulda got higher along with Wilt
It was said that Wilt Chamberlain was able to pick up a quarter off the top of the backboard.
David thompson said himself that he could do it. I heard that from himself in an interview.
Nate robinson with a 61 inch vertical
He may b th luckiest SOB in nba hstory
He said he is the real super man when Shaq claimed that title before him so I would call him super man junior
I kid you not. I was getting 12 ft. In high school, and my friend was about 3 inches above that. My jump was over 12' 5" when I was 20. 6'5 inches tall. I had to duck my head and bend at the waist when I slammed. 360 off vertical and cock it back for a two hands slam. I had a fifty inch vertical. Top of my head is 77 inches plus fifty inches on ventricle equals 127 inches. Plus 23 inches hand reach above my head equals 150 divided by 12 equals 12"6". I can get as high as DH.
Cool story bro
Cool
There is a video of Wilt Chamberlain going higher than basically all the guys mentioned, with 1 STEP... it's on youtube...
link?
Shoulda just got a 12 foot 6 inch hoop
This proves that the rim he dunked on that was supposedly 12 feet isn’t actually 12 feet. If the maximum he could touch was 12’6” and generally needs to get around 6 inch higher than the rim to dunk then there’s no way he could off the backboard 2 hand slam like what he did. He probably could’ve dunked on 12 feet if he was jumping good that day but it wouldn’t look nearly as easy as what went down.
Shaq got really pissed watching this
Random fact : Dwight is actually 6 ft 9
@@harrischoudhary ok.. so he's 6'9
@@west9046 6'9 3/4
Wilt Chamberlain would demolish this record
I thonk you've never seen Wilt Chamberlain
Kaodirichi touch 13 3 and touch the top of the backboard....search him in youtube
Sana ol
Dwight is such a fun guy, don’t get why Shaq picks on him so much
To bad they didnt do this to Wilt Chamberlain.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
wilt could apparently grab a quater off the top of the backboard
bring zion please
Let’s be real. The rim really ain’t that high for 6ft and above players. 5ft players could do the same stuff as well in an 8ft rim. It just so happens that the standard bball rim height created is perfect for 6’0+ players. I want to see how well nba players play when the rim is at 12ft and the free throw and 3pt line are a lil further away back.
The rim is still pretty high for anyone under 6”2
when you see them standing below the rim or board it didnt look that it was too high for them not to mention when they extend their arms straight up making the rim much more less high for them💁🏻♀️💯…itll be much more impressive if youre height was like Spud Webb or Nate Robinson
2:00 started the shaq beef
I’m 80 lbs .
Smh
Now do this with zion,lavine and gordan
They can jump higher but they can’t reach that high with their jump
@@andyabreu5627 you sure it's not like you know that
It's time to call tacko come
tell that to Earl Manygoat, the legend
Earl Manigault lol but yea he is the A STREET BALL GOAT
Now we have zion.
Tacko fall got this lol
i feel bad for the floor
Stuperman
That’s incredible, but Shaq was 325lbs and made that in an actual game.
But still impressive Dwight leap
guys wilt’s college coach fog allen wanted basketball to be played on 12ft rims and he dunked easily
still ain’t got my vert
Interesting
Dwight Howard did this at 6 foot 9
I think he's 6 foot 11.
ma boi on slam dunk 2920
Zion in 2019
Not a record. His right hand pulled him up off the bumper.
