somebody to look up to. I am only 5'9" and to see someone that size make it to nba is awesome...but it also sucks that he has the hops and I don't
What is his exact verticle? I've heard 42".....This dude has to be closer to 50"! His hops are amazing. He gets up there with no thought to it.
Just as an example Spudd Webb had to charge up to get up that high for a dunk. When Nate does it.....it's hard to explain but it's like he has a wires connected to him that runs through a pully and on the other end of those wires is a sports car! It almost doesn't look real.
I have a friend that used to be able to dunk and he is 5'8" but he would have to be pretty hyped up and have a decent path to the basket to get up there. He's only 22 now but I don't think he can do it anymore.
Nate definately needs a nickname or a "Knick" name......I don't think Nate is going to do him any justice. Maybe he'll place some streetball next summer and get crowned with a really good one.
