I get it now. It makes sense, X player has a VJ of Y inches <em>over his maximum standing reach</em>.
So Vontae would be outjumped 2 inches (ðVY) + whatever ð(standing reach), which might be the height, if their arms measure the same...
God, it's turning into a freaking math problem...

This is correct. Standing reach is what eliminates the height variable.. that's why they do it.

Well there is more to jumping than the height of your vertical there is the explosion in which you do it. Vontae may have hops but with technique and effort basketball players, because they develop it over years of playing, have incredible explosion and jump with ease. I cant tell you how many time even at college levels of basketball guys just leap from dead sprints but even more impressive leaping from dead stand still and get incredible height. So while Vontae has great athleticism Gates probably has the jumping advantage regardless of numbers because over the years he has be trained to leap with greater explosion and doesnt need a head of steam or perfect pump technique he simply just gets up.

How can Henne check down to Hartline? Do these guys even know what they're talking about?

Depends how tall he is. Yao could do that but he's 21ft tall. Muggsy bogues was ridiculous.
lol, you a funny man. You know white boys can't jump.
The ole one handed power dunk was my forte. Only went to hands if someone jumped with me but that was a while ago...when I had a 36" vert.

Mugsy couldn't dunk. He could touch the rim but couldn't dunk. Spud Webb could dunk.
