  • 6'10 Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu is the freakiest jumper in the world. With a 9'3" standing reach, and a 45+ inch max vertical, Kao can touch OVER 13 feet with a full approach jump, meaning he can touch the top of the backboard!

      I've seen the video...it's deceptive with the angles. I think that jump was under 36 inches(maybe closer to 32), and Wilt would have needed a 42 inch jump to touch 13 feet
