Bo is from the era of "mythical" combine stats.

Bo was fast, but he was not 4.13 fast. No man that size will run a sub-4.2 40.

They said MJ had a 48 inch vertical. No he didn't. MJ was a skywalker, but a 48 inch vert is not even human, damn near.

I’m glad you put that disclaimer at the end....
Wilt may have had a 50 inch vertical

Someone probably had him hand timed at 4.13, and I believe it. Bo was a once in a lifetime athlete.

These stories come out all the time about different players hand timed 40s.

Last year John Ross was hand timed at 4.16 but ran a 4.22 officially on the electronic reader.

A few years ago there was a texas tech receiver hand timed at 4.10.

Bruh, do you know how ridiculous a 50 inch vert is, let alone for a seven-footer?

A seven foot man with a 40 inch Verb is going to look like a mutant. At 50 inches, why even try to shoot over the nikka?

Huh? NBA always goes by running vert. Dudes in the nfl have 40+ standings verts. 48 is definitely possible for an all time athlete.
