Adrian Wilson - 66 Inch Jump

[phillycard]

That jump by AW is not that impressive.

Surely you jest.

Since we are being technical about it, that is not a true vertical leap either because under the test you can only take one step I believe.

Who cares it's still a 12ft dunk and the last I heard he'd improved it to 12'8"

Too bad he couldn't do anything else when he played for Memphis. :

Earl "The Goat" Manigault

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Manigault

Manigault was famous for his street basketball abilities where he could double dunk (he would dunk it and catch it with the other hand while still in the air and dunk it again). He was alleged to be able to touch the top of the backboard to retrieve quarters and dollar bills. He was only 6'2" but the ankle weights he wore as a child helped him to build up tremendous jumping ability. He once reverse dunked 36 times in a row to win a $60 bet. It was rumored that Earl had a 52-inch vertical leap.
