He wasn't a center (mainly played small and power forward) but that dude could jump as high as anyone, including Blake Griffin. I once saw him dunk OVER Manute Bol who was 7'7".
I believe Larry Lar had the most hops in NBA history,if you look at most of these dunks, he looking down on the rim or ducking the rim,if you look at every other dunkers highlights,nobody had ups like Larry Nance.I saw him jump over Kareem and finish with the rim at his chest,he beat Julius Dr J. Erving in a dunk contest,if his game matched his dunks,he would have been the greatest player ever.He seemed like a humble dude too.The all time highest leaper on highlight film has to be Larry Nance.
Larry Nance not only dunked hard, but he sent the ball straight through the rim....so hard, so fast, so straught-down...that the ball would hit the ground & bounce so high by the backboard. That's how you make a statement!
I still can't believe that the dunking record is like 12 foot when players like Nance, Drexler or even Dwight Howard can touch, especially Howard, like 12'6''...
acctualy her daugher goes to our high school im in middle school. but she comes in our class everyday and is ee hi sson. it was so funny tho larry nace had to like bend down to get out of our door in class. haha
damnn those are niiice dunks, at 00:35, he was up so high, he coulda put his whole arm in the rim and that rock the cradle under the basket was insane
The Highatollah of Slamola. A whirling dervish. He saved the Suns from total humiliation. Unlike that disappointment from the Running Rebs, Armen "the rubber mallet" Gilliam.
Man...you should see of his game highlights from around that time. He would catch alley-oops that were near the top of the backboard. He did some sick stuff in games...i wish someone could put those videos up
He had to move his head on a few of those to avoid hitting the rim!
