I knew Jordan can get up but I was guessing he was around 44, 45

As for that dude that jumped 60'
I don't believe it. Im going to need to see a youtube video as proof.

I'm having real trouble believing that Jordan had a better vertical than VC and Jason Rich, than Spudd and Nate. That 48 number just sounds inflated. A number of different sources around the web has him in the range of 42"-44".

Wow those numbers LOL

OK..so its not my imagination then b/c I was suprised to see him at 48 inches myself.
