How many of you can dunk or could dunk?
The bounce dunks are some of the easiest ones to do if you have timing. They look great two but I always thought they were on the easier ones to pull off. The real thing is do you have timing.
I would say he is average to slightly below average in terms of jumping.
You know who wasnt a good athlete? Paul Pierce.
Pierce had a max vertical of 38". Don't confuse not jumping high all the time for not having the ability to jump. This is not a standing vertical.

That is a full ten inches above the NBA average. He was not the best of his class but hardly the worst. Is he an athlete next to Vince Carter? Nope. Sully? Yes.
Here are the averages by position, the standing vertical for the league is 28" according to ESPN
No step
PG: 29.4
SG: 29.7
SF: 29.7
PF: 28.5
C: 26.8
Max vert:
PG: 34.9
SG: 35
SF: 34.5
PF: 32.8
C: 30.7
I think laypeople who were never tested as a part of a team do not always understand these things. I wonder how many here have had their vertical tested by a team trainer?
