Bruh its like a sin if you dont play football over here man
I remember when i first came to texas i was into soccer and the coaches looked at me like
"You play ball boy?"
"no"
"Well you do now"
And for the next three years they had me playing cornerback

1.God

peaked at 37" after one summer of practicing Plyometrics with the volleyball team.
tore My acl 2 yrs later
8 months after surgery only 30" came back too quick. I kept re-injuring myself ,knee tendinitis, Groin , quad, Hamstring.
an extra 8 months of busting my ass got back to 35" that's why I don't get mad @
What mostly changed after my first acl surgery was my lateral movement
now a days I could prob do 28-30"on a good warm day [still pretty impressive for somebody that had 2 ligament replacement surgeries one on each knee , 2 scopes torn meniscus/ knee debridement] cycling and swimming keep me in good shape 
man I remember most saturdays we use to run all day @ gunhill @ Dyckman Then @ peligro then @138 Then @ riverbank was an all day thang now a days I play 3 fullcourt games then i'm out. If I play more than that on pavement I walk like OJ Simpson the Next Day or 2 .

Had a vertical of like 24 inches, this was a while back though in gym class, like 10 years ago. I thought my vert was pretty average, but I remember seeing a bunch of dudes get up like 18 or 20 inches, only a few nikkas got in the 30's and my homeboy who was dunking with ease and was the same height as me ( 5'10") only had like a 36 inch vert, and I would've sworn that nikka had a 40+ the way he was getting up. we measured our standing verts but I can't remember what it was.
I think sometimes we take for granted what some of these athletes do, finding guys who can jump in the 30's is pretty rare, even if you're in great shape, and there isn't even that many guys in the nba who can get up 40+. So if the average, out of shape guy is telling you he's got a 30+ or even in the high 20's then that nikka is probably lying.
