Dwight Howard's Vertical Leap Analysis

The video explores the documented reach record for NBA players, held by Shaquille O'Neal at 12 feet 5 inches. Dwight Howard attempts to break this record at the 2007 NBA slam dunk contest, but his reach was not verified. To settle the debate, ESPN's sports science lab measures Howard's vertical leap, revealing he can reach 12 feet 6 inches by generating over 1200 pounds of force and 1500 watts of power. The analysis compares Howard's power to that of Nate Robinson, illustrating the impressive nature of Howard's leap.
