The top 10 most powerful jumpers in NBA history! Backed by objective scientific calculations, this is an NBA top 10 list you've never seen before! Using established research I calculated the Top 50 Most Powerful Jumpers in NBA History, and these are the top 10. You'll be surprised at who didn't make the list. Is Michael Jordan #1? What about Vince Carter or the reigning NBA Slam Dunk Champion Derrick Jones Jr? This video will also explain some basics physics behind jump height and review the equations used to calculate the list.
