Top 20 Highest Verticals in NBA History

2. Michael Jordan – 48″

Everyone knew that Michael Jordan would find his way near the top of this list as the GOAT was known for his great leaping ability.

Jordan had plenty of nicknames tied to his ability to jump higher than everyone else, such as “His Airness” but the one that stuck the most was “Air Jordan”. Jordan is still making money selling shoes off the same name to this day, with his patented logo being of himself soaring through the air.

There may never be another player that can leap at the heights of Jordan in his prime, as he was one of the most incredible athletes the sport has ever seen.
