No love for the human highlight reel, Dominique Wilkens?
Kemps Dunk against the Knicks, where he drove the Lane and Dbl clutched a reverse slam had CaneInOrlando wondering if he saw what he did....Had a cup of coffee in the NBA but JAmes White gets my vote.
Shawn Kemp was nasty. 6-10 dude with a 40" vert. Most explosive dunker I've ever watched play.
55 rebounds.... against Bill Russell.Wilt holds 72 NBA records, 68 by himself. Among his records are several that are considered unbreakable, such as averaging 22.9 rebounds for a career or 50.4 points per game in a season, scoring 100 points or 55 rebounds in a single game, scoring 65 or more points 15 times, 50 or more points 118 times.
These guys are drooling over a 40" RUNNING vert.What’s amazing is the vertical jump average in the NBA is dog **** to the NFL skills guys.
The NFL guy is also significantly heavier in most cases.Maybe because the nba guys are 6’7 and nfl skill guys are no taller than 6’4

Guys in the NFL are doing 42+ STANDING verts.
A 40" vert is ridiculously common in the football world.
Goat vertical right here:

That's what I'm talking about. True VJ is standing still before the jump. Top end football players > basketball players overall. Best I've ever witnessed as a group are Olympic Weightlifters.These guys are drooling over a 40" RUNNING vert.

NFL players are more explosive. The term athletic is meaningless without agreed definition. Baseball guys and golfers are athletic if we are talking hand eye and balance.They are also a lot shorter, which makes a huge difference. NBA players are some of the most talented athletes in the world.
Way more kids play Basketball around the world when compared to football. Even with the larger talent pool, they have a much smaller draft making it even harder to get drafted than the massive NFL draft, plus free agent situation.
