    Wilt's 48 inch vert always sounded insane to me, but a 40 inch vert is still pretty damn insane for a 7'1 player and he was a true 7'1 (measured without shoes). I was always impressed by how easily Wilt launched himself into the air. A lot of big men really have to exert themselves to get airborne, but Wilt did it so effortlessly.

But he was not exactly a guy known to change a franchise. He had just com from Spurs where he did not have such an impact and he wasn't exactly sought after. In fact he was traded for Will Perdue. Not exactly an NBA shaking move.
      And the numbers support that. He was more hustle than technique. Thats why I loved him playing, but that hardly makes a super team.
      The Warriors also bother me. Their big 3 were drafted and had a 73 win season before adding Durant. That not a super team in the meaning I get for that expression. That is a very well managed drafting. Not hired for millions in order to stack with talent.

      My take: being clutch means NOT having a worse percentage, when shots start to matter. Clutch performers aren't getting better - they just stay as good as they are. Others don't.
      Funny enough, there is a stat that claims that Lebron only hit 20% (!) of shots with 5 seconds or less on the clock, to tie or win a game, during his career... he’s great and ice cold, up until this very last possession... and if you've watched him over the last seasons, you know that he almost never takes the last-possession-shots, anymore...

    In respect to the "Clutch" player thing: The calculations were based on the last 12 minutes of a game, but many examples come to mind, that really don't impact the game that much in the 4th quarter overall, but for instance in the last 2-3 minutes they make one or two super crucial plays or make the game winning shot or score in rue of taking the lead and the momentum. Basing it on 12 minutes tells the average and not really the whole story, I think.
    Also, I believe there is a thing like certain players being more prone to get hot in crucial moments. If you look at the averages over one or more seasons, that phenomenon might be statistically invisible, if a player has one of those games now and then, but also has a number of games in which he performs subpar in important minutes or even the whole game.

      @@smoceany9478 Well that is a big factor, you cant compare otherwise, it is biologically impossible, what I was trying to do is put this myth into a perspective, 2 inches more than highest one doesnt sound that much, especially since it is Wilt and since he was special it is plausible for some, who dont take into consideraiton how height influences jumping negatively after a certain limit. Hell 8 inches more than highest center sounds plaussible as well for some, because you dont have perspective and reference of how big of a difference that is, 8 inches can be relatively big or small number. But when oyu say almost a quarter more than the next most capable person in that regard, we aint comparing him to average person in that category, but the next best jumping center, that is how you put it in perspective and make it obvious how it is impossible that it was truth. because 8 inches doesnt tell you much, what if the next best guy had 100 inch vertical, then 8 inches would be 8% and while still impressive margin, it would be possible. But almost a 25% difference in any category would have to mean he had some genetic or in other way biological anomaly, its not possible for a normal natural human beign to have that advantage over the next best one

      Think about how they were placing him at around a 40 inch vert by just watching him play sports, he is not even jumping as high as he can, he has to also focus on playing the game, we have no idea how tired he already is(he plays every minute), whether or not if he is sore, and he is not just solely doing a jump at full capacity. We don't have enough information to even prove that he doesn't really have a 48 inch vert. And just based off of him getting a 40 while just looking at a random jump from his games I wouldn't doubt he at least has a 45 inch vert.

He was also a world class volleyball player. P.S. My grandfather held the Canadian high jump record for a few years, using the same "Western Roll" style we saw Wit successfully employing. Crazy they had to land on sawdust! My grandfather paid the price in later years for all those hard, punishing falls. P.S.S. Great job on the video. Peace out.

No one ever points out Jordan's flaws such as when he used to be a selfish player before Phil Jackson came along or how Pip6made clutch plays to keep them in the game resulting in Jordan being able to take the final shot and clench the win. There's times when the Bulls bench stepped up while Jordan struggled. But when it comes to everyone else they got excuses for why they're not clutch. "Ray Allen and Kyrie irving saved Lebron's career." "Kobe took too many shots and they don't count the misses." "Jerry West only has 1 out of 9 champions." As far as I'm concerned, Reggie Miller is more clutch than Jordan. He doesn't have as much skill and versatility as most shooting guards but his clutch gene compensates for all that an is a primary reason that he was a superstar as opposed to an All Star. And that's just one example of many.

    Also, I always thought the concept of a super team arrived when superstar players started seeking out teams with other superstars; in order to increase their chances of winning championships. If a team's management acquires multiple superstar players by offering them good contracts, they might have a stacked team; but that's just business as usual. So my assumption was always that the formation of super teams was player driven. But maybe that sort of thing was happening in the 60s, 70s and 80s too, but wasn't as well known....
