February 18, 200719 yr Earl Manigault & David Thompson also could. I'm sure others could to (MJ). I highly doubt it.
February 18, 200719 yr The story goes that while Thompson was playing at North Carolina State, he could snag a quarter off the top of the backboard. If anybody could do it, Thompson could. Tragically, cocaine and alcohol problems plagued Thompson throughout much, if not all, of his too-brief pro career. http://www.nba.com/history/thompson_bio.html
February 18, 200719 yr Highly doubt what ? MJ doing it ? I think he could You think he can jump higher than Green?? I don't even think Green could do it.
February 18, 200719 yr You think he can jump higher than Green?? I don't even think Green could do it. I don't know. It would have to be offely close. We are talking about MJ.
February 18, 200719 yr I don't know. It would have to be offely close. We are talking about MJ. He isn't God!! :lol: I guarentte Green can jump a good 6" higher than MJ. He was 6'6 with at best a 35" leap. He could probably hit 12 feet. How tall in the backboard anyways?

February 18, 200719 yr Author Nate Robinson shouldn't be allowed back. He eats up so much time trying outrageous dunks that it bores everyone.
February 18, 200719 yr Melvin Levitt(SP) could pick a quarter up off the top of the backboard.(Thats what I have heard before at least) I didn't mean to come off like it couldn't be or done or hadn't been done, I too had heard the quarter stories. I was just meaning I can't see anybody else in today's basketball world doing so, talking And1, college, I just don't see anyone getting up like that right now besides Howard. I'd like to see Lebron try.

February 18, 200719 yr 3 pages and we haven't hit the game yet. Nice work fellas is the NBA gaining a little steam on this board. I think holding the players back that extra year will be huge for the NBA and raise the talent level way up. Guys that would have never made it due to the early jump will now blossom at the college level and be ready for the NBA.
