It's weird to see a guy so small naturally go off one leg considering the lack of leverage.

what's his running vertical?

No idea , but we can guess.
He is 5'6'' , so his reach must be around the 7'4'' area , probably less but let's say he has long arms. For a dunk like that he needs to get at least 10'' over the rim ( again arguably but that's what it looks like and that's how much i need to do cuffed 1-handers ).

So 10'10'' - 7'4'' = 42''

Since this was an in-game dunk with a defender crashing him mid-air , id guess he could get a couple of inches higher at his best jump , i'd accept a legit 45'' RVJ speculation...

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
