Title: Jacob Tucker Dunking
Post by: joejoe22 on March 16, 2011, 10:43:52 am
Never heard of this guy, never heard of this school, just stumbled onto his vids on youtube.  He's got some serious hops and has some great in game dunks.  Check this out:

Nice, finally glad to see some of his in-game dunks. All his tip-dunks were nasty!

Damn that's kinda inspirational for me. Even more inspirational than watching tdub dunk because I feel like what this kid does is within reach for me with about 4 more years of training... except for that btl, that may take longer if at all possible for me.

^^ That article says he's 5'11 with an "estimated 50 inch vertical leap."

 :uhhhfacepalm:

I'll give it 47" on his absolute peak day.

5'11 = 1.81m tall
rim = 3.05m

So he needs to jump 124 cm to be head at rim. 124 cm = 48.81 inches... ;D

Lmao, this dude is so nice he's got about 3 threads and took over 2 others threads too.

Anybody got some more info on him? Training history etc.

6'0 in shoes. And I need to see a vid of him getting head to the top of the rim, not bottom of it. Top = 10ft. But yes, definitely really close to a 50" running vert.

What's his reach, btw?

the vid is wrong btw..said he had 45 standing and 50 running...i would say 48 running, not quite sure what to say for standing but above 35 for sure
