moer than one second? wanna bet? grab the guys who have a 52in+ vert or Mike Powell, he fuckin jumped damn near 30 feets he had to have been in the air longer than a second considering jordan was in for .92 at 15 feet
@Newmaidumosa 3 seconds might be a bit of a stretch but even this video shows him achieve 0.84 seconds of air time at 3:15 exceeding the 0.60 mark by nearly half a second. (0.90 would have been 1 and a half seconds)
@Rikk1825 can you explain what you just wrote again pls... it kinda makes no sense at all. The video shows a guy with 0.84 hang time ... he is approaching the limit of what a human can do and you act like you can simply just add more time. Thats like watching Usain Bolt break the 100m WR and saying he can shave off a second!
The highest Max vertical ever recorded at an NBA combine was by a guy called Kenny Gregory and it was 45.5'' (no step of 39'5'').
NB .. track athletes can jump higher than NBA players and so can NFL players so a hang time of 1s is probable.. but anything beyond that becomes very IMPOSSIBLE!
@Newmaidumosa I was referring to the total amount of time a person can be air borne from initiation to completion of a jump. I agree that a "hang time" of over one second is impossible but that's not what I'm talkin bout.
@Rikk1825 that is what i am talking about as well. TIME IN THE AIR!!.. Hang Time is NONE EXISTENT... you are at the top of your jump for the smallest measure of time possible... think of it like this.. his total air time is 0.84s and his "hang time" is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001s (if such a time frame does in fact exist)
UltraStarJump2012, YouTube,it is out of this world! Im 5-9 tall and my head is right by a Ten Foot Basketball Rim! Im jumping 4 feet in the air and the elevation is breath taking! Im wearing regular clothes and floating right by the Ten Foot Basketball Rim! With the Chance to be in the NBA , the league would be dominate by someone half their height and size!
I like how they say: "Hangtime is hot air" but yet when they show those waves going along that generated man, there's a flat green line...meaning there's hangtime RIGHT THERE haha, why farmar? the guy's terrible
umm... if you tell michael to jump while running WITHOUT a ball, im pretty sure he could stay longer than 1 second. hes just trying to dunk the ball and comes back down. let him JUMP! but since hes old now, test LeBron
They probably used Jordan Farmar because they wanted to use the "Air Jordan" pun. If they wanted tiny people, wouldn't Nate Robinson had been a better choice? Though I would have choosen Dwight Howard if I had the choice, that guy's fit.
The stuff they talked about on this show was cool but they spent too much time talking about and filming their cool stuff then talking about the topics. Too many gratuitous shots of their 'lab'.
Ever wondered--"What are the limitations of human athletic performance?" John Brenkus, the host and creator of "Sport Science," answers that question in his new book The Perfection Point. Using statistics, physics, and physiology, Brenkus discovers the highest someone can dunk a basketball, the farthest someone can hit a baseball, and much more. Pre-order it today at any major bookstore! If you love ESPN's Sport Science, you gotta get this book!

@Rikk1825
FYI assuming jumping and landing on your feet.
1s hang time = 48'' vertical
1.2s hang time = 70'' vertical
2s hang time = 193'' vertical
3s hang time = 434" vertical ....
The highest Max vertical ever recorded at an NBA combine was by a guy called Kenny Gregory and it was 45.5'' (no step of 39'5'').
