For example, a 5'6 michael jordan (exact body comp, leg to torso ratio, etc) would not be able to jump as high as the regular michael because he would not be exerting more power. So does that mean that the 5'6 MJ's vertical (compared to 6'6 MJ's vertical) would be the same ratio as the height of the two?
I know that once an athlete gets to over a certain amount of height, this does not hold true (yao ming is an example)
For example, an olympic lfiter with 40 vertical vs kevin durant with a 40 vertical, is totally different. kevin durant is using his length/flexibility to propel himself up, and olympic lifter is using his sheer power.

Less power but a more effective utilisation of the power they do produce. And you can't really say it's less power because it's still a high amount of power, the only difference being that it's related to their height/weight.

Comparing different people is idiotic, trying to make broscience vert rules from it is even more.
Oh, and they would jump exactly the same, no matter if you were referring to Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson.
