Rebound - The Legend Of Earl The Goat Manigault

[BlackPatTV]

It's real The Goat ?

[wogboy43]

i doubt he could take dollar notes of the top of the backboard

[tuzwol]

he could,he used ankle weights

[MaNiGauLt23]

too bad ankle weights fuck up your kness beyond all belief. don't do anything that involves sharp turns in em

like. basketball. -.-

[tuzwol]

Just because no one has ever been none to do it, doesn't mean that the Goat didn't do it.This man wore ankle weights everyday, since he was young,dribbled in them and jumped in them, if you do that for years, and to mention the fact that he was slim,you will fly,people who use them just jump in them and then put them down until the next time they exercise, where as the Goat walked around in them all the time,everytime you walk that's exercise,his leg muscles got the best workout.Ankle weights #1

[monstalo]

stop hatin just cause you cant do it dont hate someone who can! hop off his dick no homo!

[dtucker33]

damn i smell a lot of h8rs

[tuzwol]

They just mad cause they can't do it,or cause their favorite ball player can't do it.LOL

[BTAKVE]

goat couldn't do it either so your point to us would be what?

[tuzwol]

According to this he could,how do you know he couldn't do it,stop hating

[BTAKVE]

#1 he never said he could do it, #2 the only people who said he could were 5 friends who were always trippin out and doing drugs and died early deaths as a result, all the pros and other people who played him said they never saw him do it but saw him double dunk #3 the writers of this movie admitted that some parts were exaggerated to match his legend for some friends

[BTAKVE]

#4 there is proof and videotapes of most of his games including dunk contest where they showed a lot of his dunks including the double dunk, but not a video of him touching the backboard that makes no sense it doesn't add up.

[tuzwol]

where is this video that you speak of,show the evidence and I might believe you

[MaNiGauLt23]

there's actual videos of the goat playing? wtf?

[BTAKVE]

yeah but there hard to find now sense not many copies were made and its in black and white, but you can at least see them playing and who's who?

[stlbravest14]

Where can I get those videos & the movie Rebound.

[tuzwol]

Name the pros names you are referring to.

[tuzwol]

What games did they record of the GOAT

[BTAKVE]

quite a few games but crappy quality they don't still sell some around Rucker Park but for the most part people have bought up all of his tapes. You need to ask your parents or relatives from New York and see if they have one. Quite frankly, I had no clue the guy existed until my uncle showed some of his videos playing in Rucker with Wilt, Kareem, and this guy Manigault/ you get the point however his name is spelled

[tuzwol]

Is Connie Hawkins on any of those tapes?Did Wilt do any dunks?

[BTAKVE]

The Wilt doing dunks is obvious considering he was the biggest person on the court and Connie was only on 1 of the 8 tapes. Connie got underrated in the NBA because after seeing his tape because if the coaches on the teams he played with did not hold him back from playing like he liked to play at rucker could have done much more as

[tuzwol]

Okay,cause there was a game when Jumpin Jackie Jackson pieced Wilt's fadeaway bank shot against the glass and the crowd went crazy,then Wilt,who felt embarrased, went crazy and did 10 or 15 dunks in a row,and his team ended up winning the game because of it,Connie Hawkins said that Wilt dunked the ball every way possible,and that on 1 dunk the ball bounced off the ground so hard it went over the 15ft fence,that's power.I guess you never wake a sleeping Giant.Did COnnie do any great dunks?

[MaNiGauLt23]

do you own any of the videos? lol

[BTAKVE]

just 1 because my uncle grew up watching him when he was young

[MaNiGauLt23]

think you can record it with a cam and upload it onto youtube?

[BTAKVE]

I'll give it a shot actually thats a great idea I was wondering how I could convert a tape like that so I could put it on the Internet thanks for the idea.

[MaNiGauLt23]

Alright sweet. I'm looking forward to watching that video.

[tuzwol]

can you make a copy of a tape and send me 1 through the mail

[lightsabre5511]

lol alonzo mourning could do that coming out of college, you idiots actually believe shit like people could jump 52 inches from standstill (which is how vertical jump is measured) then tell me why the highest recorded jump at the NFL combine by the greatest power athletes was a 43 inch vertical by gerald sensabaugh a few years ago, don't believe all the hype turkeys

[Legitslostlegend]

Kadour Ziani has a 56 inch vertical so shut up

[lightsabre5511]

and where is the legal measurement u dumb fuck? i hate when little cockriders like you get all horny about shit that doesn't exist. listen carefully faggot! no one has a standstill 56" vertical jump. its not possible. and if it were it would not belong to a basketball player, it would belong to a power athlete like an olympic weightlifter or football player

[BTAKVE]

wrong number one his vert is 45 from standstill and off of one leg it is only 51 Legitslostlegend, I have seen one of his shows where they gave him multiple oppurtinities to jump his highest and he did not get higher than 51 inches full speed off one leg.

[Legitslostlegend]

Kadour Ziani has a 56 inch vertical so shut up

[tuzwol]

You've never seen the Goat so you can't speak as if you've seen him,there are great athletes that people haven't seen.There are always people out there that are not known that are better than the ones that are known,people make a big deal about Nate Robinson, but there are guys where i live who are his height and shorter,who do tomahawk jams,360's,and the world hasn't seen them yet,if they were as tall as the Goat they would be snatching money off the top of the backboard also or be close to it

[lightsabre5511]

lol thats nice but i'm 6'1 and i do tomahawks and 360s at u of t..people say oohs and aahs but its no big deal, i wasn't even offered a schlarship because i'm not that good..and by the way there is no evidence of this goatman's so-called 56" standstill vertical so therefore it doesn't exist,, u keep beliving this underground bullshit, but u better remember that only power exercises increase vertical jump..NOT walking around in ankle weights all damn day

[BTAKVE]

you know I like you lightsabre5511 unlike these other retards you have a mind of your own and reading my comments and yours we are the only two here that use common sense instead of believing in the hype

[tuzwol]

Shut up,calling people names because they have a different view than you,you are a true jackass

[BTAKVE]

yeah I would agree if it was real he could not jump that high back then backboards were so high he would have to jump over 65 inches to touch the top at his height. His vert was measured once in his prime at 52 inches still over a foot short.

[BTAKVE]

and that was running for all the people who can not figure this out.

[tuzwol]

Backboards were 13 ft high the same height as they are now,the Goat was 6'2, he had incredible hops,just ask Jabbar

[dawsonpark]

I guess the Goat .. had to blame himself, what a waste of God gifted talent.. dam.. but Earl will always be stil the best hops in my book. R.I.P Earl

[tuzwol]

hell yeah

[anteup5]

crazy...

[fosu2006]

OMG THAT EARL HAS INSANE HOPS

[wiisucks777]

he really did that

[HaiTienGOD]

yeap Earl was ill with the hops

[BTAKVE]

no he did not really do that it was a rumor, yes he had great vertical abilities but not like the exaggeration some people make it.

[tuzwol]

how do you know?
