Kadour Ziani??? That dude can’t even jump over a phone book.

22

saw nate at dunking contest, impressive at least, and built like a small runnning back…with vertical testing, nfl’s maybe are not perfect, but is a standardized and reliable protocol…for basketball, still more room for myths, like the coin taken on top of the board by mj or admiral robinson:),.however…Go nate!!

Nate’s stats
http://nbadraft.net/2004measurements.asp
he’s got freaking long arms for a 5’ 7.75" dude!
6’1" wingspan!!!

7’ 7.5’’ reach…I’m taller than him but my reach is lower!

26

In the NFL, they measure reach with 2 hands and then jump with one hand!
2 hand reach is usually 3 inches lower than a one arm reach, and more so for the taller players. Plus your body stretches as well when you jump one handed

so deduct at least 3 inches from all NFL VJ to get a more realistic VJ number…
So anyone with a 30-33 inch NFL VJ is pretty average…
Only people with 40+ NFL VJ are what you would call freaky. So that 46inch NFL VJ record is really only 43 tops, and maybe more like 40-42

NFL VJ testing method
reach measured with 2 hands

then they jump with one hand…

I’m certainly rooting for him!

Nate holds the Washington state high school record in the 110 highs. He is maybe 5’8" and ran 13.85

31

u guys had to see nate block yao ming shot

32

That was amazing. Yao Ming is much improved but he’s still soft.

33

goodness, he didn’t even have much of a runup either.

34

yes, it was very impressive. but i’ve seen nate do more impressive things. if you look he blocks it about right level with the bottom of the backboard. seeing him dunk last year in the dunk contest was more impressive imo.

35

They said on SportsCenter that when Yao was asked about the block he said something like: ‘i’ve been blocked by a 5’3" guy before so that’s not a record or anything’

36

that was a foul…
