  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
I remember years ago Greg Minor won a dunk contest on a 12 foot hoop...obviously he was running and jumping, but I would have liked to hear some of the other participants in the contest.

Anyway, good job, DJ.

Should we assume that the previous record-holder didn't amount to much in the NBA?  Because if it was someone significant, it probably would have been reported.

It is reach. Max vert reach. How high you can reach on your jump.

He had a 46 inch vertical which is the highest recorded in the NBA draft.  The approximately 150 inches is his max vertical reach.

Too bad he's basically bad at basketball.  He's a 6'5" big man with no offensive game other than dunks.
