what about it?

There's a lot of rotation in his plant there. As I observed Vince his entire career, the difference in now vs. back in the day in terms of his plant is his lack of rotation, more quad involvement and less PC, and high center of gravity in his plants now (and lower jumps).

He answered my tweet. Apparently he can full squat 170 kg at 60 kg bodyweight. I mean wtf? :ninja:

EDIT: He meant lbs, which is 80 kg full squat ;D and he probably meant 160 lbs bodyweight. Also, 188 lbs half squat. Imagine if he would get stronger to realize what his real ceiling is. Sotomayor was heavier but he was doing 160 kg snatches and had a 3x+ half squat.

Nice post raptor, Durant got outplayed badly at the end though, that's 3 years ago though and it's still amazing how effortlessly he gets to the rim @ 7 foot.

My turn, one of my favourite performances ever, dude was absolutely zonin', never seen Stockton get his ass handed to him this bad:

I liked when he didn't want to salute the USA antemn and flag. Guts!

isnt the biggest weight a 20kg, or ~45lb one?

hahah sheeesh raptor, sometimes ur sense of humor is so, so off...

No, it is not. We have weights ranging from 1.25 kg to 25 kg. So 25 kg is the biggest plate. That was the idea. I actually know 50 kg plates in my old gym (110 lbs). I guess squatting 3 of these on each side of the bar would be pretty good. 3 plates baby!

-Impossible to be 6' / 6'1'' wingspan / 31'' maximum running vert and be able to dunk 10'. I am 6'1'' with 6'5'' wingspan and i still need ~34'' to dunk.

Huh? I'm 6'0 with a 6'2 wingspan and I can dunk with a ~30 inch vert. I just need to get my thumb of the palming hand over the rim and that's it.

WTF?  You would have to palm the ball damn good , and i still doubt you could do it. What is your standing reach? Mine is 7'11'', 30'' is only 10'5'' for me.
Generally i'd say you need 8 - 10 inches above rim to dunk clean , i'd accept 7'' with perfect palming and timing and everything, but 5'' is pushing it too much.


On a SLRVJ, you don't really lose height on your jump with the ball, and I agree with Raptor, you can (not all the time) but dunk with 5-6inches over the rim.  If you have a powerful arm swing with the ball, the ball with hover on your fingers (not palm)and you can swing it hard to dunk it without losing control of the ball.  No?

I have dunked clean on a 9'6" rim before when I was jumping 35" at max (10'0" touch) using what I described above.

7'11 reach for me as well. But if I have a 6'2 wingspan and you have a 6'5 wingspan (how do you have such a HUGE wingspan?!?!) how can we reach the same height? You must have a really high neck and long head or something, so the 6'5 wingspan loses length to cover that distance. WTF :ninja:

BTW - I can't dunk without palming the ball. Not even at lower rims.
