6'10 Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu is the freakiest jumper in the world. With a 9'3" standing reach, and a 45+ inch max vertical, Kao can touch OVER 13 feet with a full approach jump, meaning he can touch the top of the backboard!
I've seen the video...it's deceptive with the angles. I think that jump was under 36 inches(maybe closer to 32), and Wilt would have needed a 42 inch jump to touch 13 feet

@@carlitoyt27 You can grow, you gotta microfracture your bone by exercising like jumping, then stretch so the bone grows longer Max effort sprints 3x per week for hgh But it's gonna be damn hard
In the right situation, he could thrive. He can knock down open 3s, set screens and be a lob threat, he gets up and down the floor insanely fast. Obviously block a lot of shots…
his current stats out of the UT Arlington Mavericks men's basketball team are pretty poor, less than 5 points per game. He applied for this years draft, but no team took him.
@@alwayslookingatself He just needs more reps. If you were 6'10 and can jump a little, you are capable of NBA ball. If you are 6'10 and can jump like that, you are crazy. Thing is, it's probably hard to keep your motivation when you are that athletic.
@@ILLSmak Watching that James/Reddick podcast has really opened my eyes to how important basketball IQ is in the NBA. Look at 2nd pick, James Wiseman, tons of natural ability, but he is floundering with the pistons now. I hope Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu makes it.
This dude can do the Bounce dunk easily with a few tries, I mean He's touching his shoulders on the rim, can even hang on the top of the board , and he's freaking long
Blocking like that wont happen in the NBA. He will learn to just save his energy for offense. Basically because the rules will punish him for any slight touch when defending. Rules are skewed toward offense in the NBA !
He's got the physical advantages (length and freakish athleticism). Now he has to continue to improve his fundamentals. It would also be great if he becomes a two-way forward and improve his timing and shot blocking skills. He'll be swatting a lot of shots with that jumping ability.
Some of it is intuition, but a lot of it can be learned. It's about what dude wants, though. I hope he does work it out, but if he wants to make some money as just a crazy dunker, that's not so bad, either.
He worked out last year for the Lakers and then went back to college and signed with Memphis. I hope he lands with an organization that will work with him to reach his potential or at least close to it.
It's clear this guy is jumping very high from looking at this footage, but the clear view of filming from level with the rim at the right distance would give a much better picture to see his jumping ability.
Based on? His 2.6 points per game at Memphis last year? Or his 4 points/game in two seasons at UT-Arlington? That is three years of college basketall (2 of which at a p-ss poor school, scoring 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds. He is 6'10" and 190, with no game outside of defending the rim.
I wish that instead of putting the camera down low to exaggerate how high he looks the video guy would at least once put the camera at rim level, so we can see where his head is relative to the rim. There were no shots like that, so we're left to guess. No doubt his head is above the rim, higher than anyone I've ever seen, but it would be nice to document it better with a rim-level camera angle.
1: he literally hit his shoulder on the rim. you can tell exactly how high he got, regardless of the camera angle. 2: at the 2:02 mark, I have a camera on a tripod, on top of a ladder. I'd say that's pretty high 3. I'm never "putting the camera down low" with my main camera. I'm holding it at a normal height, where you'd get the perspective of being there in person. Sometimes my second camera is on the floor, just because I don't have another person to hold it. 4. Even with a camera set to 10ft, you're still not going to be able to tell exactly how many inches he is above the rim. You're just guessing
would it be goaltending if instead of blocking a shot he just goes up to the rim and blows the ball. i wonder if that actually would actually effect the shot.
0:46 with his arms extended, you can't shoot over that. He'll be in the league blocking Wemby's shot from time to time with that length and those hops if he can play.
You should put the camera on a pole and put at rim level so it’s a better angle bc on a lot of shot it’s angled up from floor level. Dude has a crazy jump though 👍
@@kakasvk This channel is all about dunking but unfortunately to this kid the league is about basketball so... probably his future as a basketball player is not very bright or very mediocre. Is a shame because is a tremendous, tremendous athlete. You never know... the best of luck to this kid.
@@bigsergio04mex Kao has horrible college stats, less than 5 points per game. Giannis's stats coming out of euro league were pretty poor, but he flourished with NBA coaching. Kao applied for this years draft, but no team took him.
cant wait for the day when you see a defense highlights, a lot of these kids have no idea what to do on the defensive side of the court, all of em are looking at logo threes ond sick dunks on YT
Kao had his approach vertical measured at about 47 inches. For reference, the world record for approach vertical is 50 inches. The NBA Combine record for approach vertical is 48 inches, the next highest being 45.5, then 44.5....So Kao would have the 2nd highest approach vertical in NBA combine history at 6'10, which is nuts. Most people his height aren't breaking 40 inches
