What about Spud Webb or Nate Robinson? Slam dunks contest champs in '86 and '06 at 5’7" and 5’9".

Nate’s vert is in the mid-low 40s, and that’s measured NBA style. I don’t know about Squd, but it’s probably not 50 either…[/quote]

Nate had a no step vertical of 35.5 at the draft camp. His max vert which is probably with a run was 43.5. The link below compiles a lot of the past draft camp numbers.

All you have to do is look at someone’s head in relation to the rim or whatever. If you know their height, add in an extra inch for shoes, you will have an idea how high they jumped

rim = 10 feet
bottom of net = 8.5 feet
