1. Michael Jordan
- Height - 6 feet 6 inches
- Vertical Jump - 48 inches
Michael Jordan is one name above the rest in the NBA's pantheon of high-flyers.
During the 1984 Olympics, Jordan recorded the highest vertical leap in NBA history and remains the gold standard, a testament to his otherworldly athleticism.
The six-time NBA Champion Jordan's 48-inch mark remains a near-mythical benchmark, a constant reminder that His Airness indeed flew above the rest.
Jordan's gravity-defying dunks allowed him to hover about 20 inches higher than an average vertical jump in the NBA, winning the 1987 and 1988 Slam Dunk Contests.
