@@kellyallen8528haha That comment must have gone over your head. Leap year, because he's "leaping" abnormally high. It's a play on words, and pretty witty. Made me chuckle. Lol
actually shadows like that are borderline impossible to make those shadows are probably real light from a real jump editing software *hates* overlapping shadows with a passion overlap on a shadow is typically one of the easiest ways to spot real shadows because real life has more then 1 light source you often have multiple overlapping shadows in this case, with a floor that shiny I think it's pretty clear you would get another shadow I'll leave the assessment of its position up to you it would be much simpler to get real jump lighting and then just edit the jump that's seen real shadow doesn't mean real jump 😂
I think it has something to do with the reduction of speed the camera being used doesnt have high FPS or settings must be out of wack or something on those lines..
There is this comment in every max vertical video on youtube and yet still remains so very incorrect lol.... Max vertical- reach as high as you can from your preferred take off, one foot or two.
So what is the measured "running" vertical leap in this video....???? Currently(2024)....Tobi Lawall(VCU MBB)...has a recorded vertical leap of 49.5 inches....he can touch the top of the basketball backboard(which is measured @ 13'!)
Except if you look it up he’s actually set the world record. The effects from the slo-mo can’t keep up with the speed of his movement so it improvises. Quick Google search
@@AverageJayMedia Bro. Look up the actual video on his channel. His name is in the description of this short. It’s in full speed, he set the world record.
So when they say max verticle leap. That means with a running start for max effort max height. Not from a standing start. That would be a vertical leap test. Not a max vertical.
and from the floor to bottom of the feet without bending knees. still pretty impressive here at around 4ft. The record is 50 inches which is around 4'2" with a running start so around there! The record from standing is 65 inches 5'5"!!!!!
So what is the technical term for a running jump like this? Seriously, running jump? Whenever you watch combine stuff they always seem to bundle this in with the Vertical Challenge, which is probably where the common misconception comes from
Watch his legs That shit look weird It's like something is up with his legs like they're fake I wouldn't put it past them if this is legit but I'm just saying his legs look animated as soon as he leaps off the floor
When I was in high school track (1973) we had a guy "walk on " in the middle of the season who moved in from another state. He had been written up in sports illustrated for his speed in the 100, 200 meters. So of course we gave him a hard time...until, He took a quarter and jumped up and "placed" it on the top edge of the backboard... Yep. Watched him do it. He turned out to be a great guy and went on to graduate from West Point, get married and have lots of kids.
He is almost full head above the rim. That is truly insane! Just check the shadow on the back wall!!!!! He could almost touch the top of the board with his arm!
What the hell are they feeding these kids.? That has to be a world record breaking jump because I've never seen no one jump that high. Good one young man.
Really people? It's all about perspective... thos is an optical illustion. Notice the camera angle filming from the bottom of the jump upward, giving the impression that he is jumping beyond the top of the backboard. If this was accurate, then it would mean that he jumped so high that his lower rib cage was above the rim. Every team in the NBA and on the planet would give this kid a very lucrative contracts for rebounding alone. Wow the human brain is so easily manipulated!
@Testifydesignfactory Not necessarily. Sure jumping ability is great and useful but if his basketball skills when it comes to dribbling, shooting, passing etc are not at an NBA level then his use could be limited. Obviously some of the would be overlooked for his show athleticism but not every great athlete is an NBA ready basketball player.
@@RamaSivamani exactly. His endurance alone could not be up to nba level. Unfortunately nba scouts look for more than just raw jumping ability. Like, endurance, age, agility, basketball IQ, shooting ability etc. Think about it, there's very little spots to fill an nba roster, as a scout as you going to recommend some random youtuber just because he jumped high and risk your career being on the line? You willing to take that bet? Hell no, most scouts will error on the side of safety to keep their job and look for someone that GMs and executives feel more comfortable with
Why he not competing in the high jump competition for the USA team. Instead of wasting his time attempting superficial records ...he could be medaling at the Olympics...yall weird
The video includes an optical illusion effect. When you look at the basketball hoop, it appears to be leaning forward and to the left, and the camera is filming from a low angle looking upwards. I'm not sure about the exact height of this person's vertical jump, but for the purpose of uploading to RU-vid, the camera angle and the positioning of the pole were cleverly arranged to make it appear as though the person is jumping over the top of the basketball hoop board. Based on what I see, assuming the person holding the pole is 180 cm tall, I would estimate the jump to be around 110 cm high.
rivera is more of a straight up vertical guy and also since he jumps with 2 feet its a lot harder but i think his best is like around half a foot from the free throw line
When you walk is your shadow even with you? It's always lower than you. Now put a hoop at your head and the rim will be at your head and at the chest of your shadow. Im not saying it's real I'm saying the angle which this is being recorded (close to the floor and at a side angle instead of right in front of him) can cause the shadow to be lower than the actual person is jumping. But I do believe that this is fake. Because why show it in slow motion and not real time?
@taraatkins4823 there is 2 shadow in the video, also the leg shaking so weird, there is many details that are not in balance with that jump lol... also no even a vertical jump lol, is just a jump with impulse that is not recognised as vertical...
Yeah what he did is not humanly possible look at his legs as he jumps they shrink. It's edited. The height is not impossible but what happens to his legs sure is 😂
Hey there. This is not (necessarily) photoshopped or more accurately edited. What’s happening here is something called motion interpolation. In short, the camera they recorded this with likely recorded at a very slow frame rate (I’d guess 30 frames per second). When you slow down those thirty frames it looks really bad and more like a slide show. To get around this, some programs will “interpolate” or guess at what the frames in between should look like and add them to try and capture that slow motion look. Unfortunately the program that did the interpolation on this did a bad job. Hardly unusual and yes, technically edited but not fake. Just low quality
@@mastersurvivals1no... that would show his entire body being shifted around not just the parts that make the video look good. Also... this isn't a "vertical" it's a running lead into a "high jump".. very different on a valid vertical test. So.... fake!
If you look at the shadows on the wall, you'll see his head is actually barely above the rim - if not level with the rim. Still a good jump, but the camera angle is deceptive. Makes it look higher than it really is.
@lightbeforethetunnel what are you talking about? Camera angles has nothing to do with this. Just look at the jump bar, he's touched the highest bar. Dude is legit
@tman5697 Yeah, it was a good jump. I'm just saying it's not like he's tryna go balls above the rim. Just look at the shadows his head is level with the rim. Head above the rim just barely.
@@tman5697 For someone who is 6'2 like Rivera is, getting your head at the rim is impressive. So it's not knocking him at all to say his head is at the rim. He's got a 50.5 inch vertical. Highest in the world.
While incredibly high, the camera angle has it looking way higher than it actually is. I mean at top jump it looks like the rim is at his solar plexus- it isn't His head is most likely slightly above the rim. If you look at the shadow of him in relation to the shadow of the backboard and rim you get a different perspective.
@ABFABC Stop falling for carefully chosen perspective. Look at the camera angles chosen for these videos. Nowhere near 12 ft. Why don't they use a camera with someone on a step ladder in line with the rim - why not also set that up at the free throw line - why don't they have the measuring device close to the basket. The videos are always a con job.
Yea NBA needs this collaboration. NBA dunk contest is dead and these guys would sell tickets. Even as half time show competition in regular season games.
@@kiefdreamsyeah thats his “shadow”. Which means the light projecting the shadow onto the wall is actually way higher than it. This isn’t rocket science🤦🏾♂️
I’m 6’5” and had a 37” vertical. good enough to touch 11’6” and be considered impressive. This is a god tier and unbelievable. I would have been able to play on any league, anywhere in the world with this gift he has.
The measurement should only measure from the top of his head to the floor. Reach has nothing to do with vertical distance. Granted, his leap is incredible, and I’m not taking away anything from his ability. But a shorter person, with shorter arms and fingers could have a vertical leap just as high if measured from the top of his head to the floor.
I wish it were easier than it is to find the video of African schoolboys qualifying for the high jump , although of course I realise it's different when you have stay vertical.
