The best example of Jordan's jumping ability is a play against the Nets that's called "the layup". He takes off from the side of the free throw line. Double clutches maneuvering between two defenders from a dunk attempt to finish with a reverse layup on the other side of the rim.
"I don't think anyone has been able to do that." Meanwhile, about 40 players in the NBA are well past the points listed... Jordan had great hops for his day.
Bro i can already tell this workout is so good, because after 2 days after i do this my my jump become so high its like it added on me 5 inch on my jump so thank you so much!!
I watched the rest of your video and you are right.100 percent Jordan could get his head above the rim sometimes when he ducked his head to avoid the rim it took away his momentum to jump as high as he could.Also it was said in college they clocked him running a 4.3 in 40 yard dash.
Also on that college block his momentum was taking him to the backboard so he wasn't just jumping as high as he could he jumped high to block the shot at the same time he was trying to duck his head to not hit the backboard that being said he wasn't trying to jump as high as he possibly could but he did still jump high and get an incredible block knowing he needed to avoid hitting his head on backboard.
This video is so funny.You can't take basketball plays and say he jumped this high one time try to measure it and say well he has 36 inch vertical.Are you serious?That one jump in college you can't say this is the highest he can jump and you measure his vertical from a video.If you want to do that look at a couple ally oops dunks early in his NBA career when is head was at rim then sometimes above the rim.Come on now.Look at the poster when he has his legs up behind him dunking from the free throw line his head is above the rim like his eyes level to rim.Not just poster.Watching that dunk in slow motion.So no the reason he got the name Air Jordan was because he had jumping ability and hangtime the other players didn't.When your trying to take certain plays from videos then say from that play this is is vertical and from that play thats his highest he can jump Its a little stupid.Good thing is it's funny and doesn't matter.
Lebron is a freak of Nature. Shaq was a freak of nature. Wembe is a freak of nature. MJ wasn't. There are a few but not a lot in NBA history who were simply so physically gifted that their bodies stood out against other NBA bodies.
NBA players always give their running max vertical as their vertical leap. A “true vertical” is standing with no steps. I worked [senior year Independent Study] in the *Coach K NIKE Human Performance Lab at Duke Sports Medicine* in the mid/late 1990s where I did similar research to what is shown at 9:16. The NFL combine does a true vertical and there are usually 3-5 guys each year that jump over 40 inches, often times it is a DB, WR or Linebacker. ***The most explosive NFL players are more bouncy and twitchy than even the best leapers in the NBA.***
MJ had a poster when I was young that boasted him to have a 42-inch vertical, so when people claim he allegedly gained 6 more inches is outrageous because this information about a 48-inch vertical would have surely made that poster! It would only add to the hype, so no reason to leave it out.
Im 5'7 and about 90 lbs overweight but with dreams of dunking. Gonna add this to my routine with 25 pound dumbells and maybe soon my dreams will be reality. currently I can touch backboard, so im sure i can get closer. def doable Thanks for the video fr
Grover is lying he didn’t increase vertical from 88/89 to 93 and MMJ was closer to 42” off the ground when he hit his head on backboard. Rim is 120” the crown of mj head is 78’ off the ground…that’s 42”
Lots of great jumpers in his era but MJ stood out for his footwork, hang time, and ability to jump off 1 or 2 feet. Mike had game for days and people really didn’t focus on one aspect like vertical. If his head is at the rim then that’s 42 inches by my count. I thought he could jump higher in the 80s but had a more effective game overall in the 90s thanks to Phil and also a legit support crew.
Look at the margin of comfort he had during his iconic free throw line dunk. Nobody, before or after, was able to do it with such a margin to spare and so comfortably.
Im Playing Volleyball, and i want to do this Workout. I have 4 times a week Training. how often should i do this workout to increase my Vertical the Most effectiv ?
I am a 40 year old Personal Trainer from Germany. You are very well spoken and I love your detailed knowledge of biomechanics. You should consider studying S&C or Sport Science if you are not already doing it. Great talent sir!
