i would love to see proof of him or anyone for that matter touching the top of the backboard. hell James White who is 6'7-6'8 and has CRAZY hops comes close but even he can't touch it(and this guy has done a between the legs dunk from the foul line. i'm old school and remember when david thompson was at N.C. state and the stories about him that he touched the top of the backboard and yet NO ONE ever put it on film?? won't beleive it til I SEE IT !!!
@use2slam2 /watch?v=kB43A-ODuLc It isn't a literal touch, but 3:14 is the same height as the top of the backboard. I'll browse through more Wilt Chamberlain footage to find more jumps like this. He gets up as high as the top of a backboard at least once in every 1956-'57NCAA season game I've watched so far... His standing reach was 9' 6" barefoot and that pegs his vertical at ~43". Unequaled for a 7 footer, but still plausable, he was a top ranked high-jumper in both high school and college.
