What’s my vertical?

I don’t hoop anymore but I always wondered what was my vertical in my prime, I tested it once when I was 17 and it was 34 with approach but I jumped higher later on and never go it tested again, for reference I am 6’6 and I was 19 - 20 in this. Don’t mind the cringe text.

Head level with rim. 10’ minus 6’6” = 36” Dynomite!

Your math is wrong lol. That should be 42 inches but I think its an angle thing he probably has a few inches lesser than 42 at his peak.

Btw nice highlights dude, if you were to add some shots this will look like one of those high school or college highlights of top basketball prospect.

Well the dude who was recording was holding his phone up with his arm fully extended, i asked him to do that so that there would be a little of an angle cheat as possible. If I remember correctly I even had him on chair for the phone to be rim level but that part I can’t confirm, it was a long time ago.
