We've talked about those specific rims again. He is 5'9'' so he needs 51'' to touch head at rim. This looks like eyes to rim ( trying to normalise the distortion ) which is another 4-5'' and his body is leaning too. So if this rim stands at 10' , this is a legit 55+'' jump
I don't wanna be the one who says it , im just posting the pic and the numbers... LOL

Short rim, obviously. The promoters have every reason to let the dunkers do the most ridiculous shit possible. Ergo, a 9'6" or 9'8" rim.

nice vid.. t-dub is my favorite power dunker, without a doubt.

i agree that the rims are low, 9'8 at lowest but probably around 9'10.. everyone gets way higher on those rims, and they look damn low.
but i have no doubt t-dub can hit his head on a legit 10' on his best jump... too much footage of him getting that high on so many rims. :)
Agreed , id go for 9'9'' to 9'10'' And i do agree T-Dub can get 51'' to get his head at rim consistently. This one was just pushing it too much , and i hate the 10' label the rim has on it , its like its saying "please , believe me , im 10'... i may look lower but im telling you , im 10..."
