WATCH: World-Famous Dunker Soars Over Two Motorcycles on ‘The Dunk King’
Russell Westbrook, one of the most athletic point guards in the NBA, has a 36.5-inch vertical leap. That’s pretty high for a 6-foot-3 guard. Though Derrick Rose has lost some athleticism because of multiple knee injuries, the 6-foot-3 Chicago Bulls guard registered a 37-inch vertical leap when he came into the league.
So who would’ve thought a 59-inch vertical leap was even possible?
Dunker Kadour Ziani holds the world record for the highest vertical jump, reportedly posting a jump of 60 inches. Guy Dupuy, a 6-foot-3 contestant on the new TV show, The Dunk King, came very close to that record leap.
During the show’s first episode on Monday night, Dupuy showed off his 59-inch vertical jump by leaping over two motorcycles and throwing down a between-the-legs slam. The motorcycles were placed sideways a few feet from the rim, giving Dupuy enough room to take the ball from an assistant who was holding it while sitting on the motorcycle.
