There's plenty of rotation at 0:26 in the Weis dunk.

In the Zo dunk there's not that much, but he didn't jump as high either (not head to rim by any means).

What is definitely certain is that having more strength allows you to use a deeper bend and load at much higher velocities/depths than not having as much strength (since strength is what Vince lost while getting old). Not sure about anything else.

Look at his plant here:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5-N2vIJtQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5-N2vIJtQ</a>

He basically bended at the knees, pretty much no hip bend, no rotation on the plant, no low center of gravity for proper "loading", no nothing.

I'm not disputing age, I don't care about age - what I care about is how an individual that had a certain plant style in the past didn't have that plant style here^^^

He did plant like in the old days (though not as low) in here:

I love how he plants that right leg and rotates on it, "throwing" his left leg into the ground. Whenever I did that in real life I definitely got higher. I load much better doing that than with a "linear" approach.

Check 3:45 here:

what about it?

There's a lot of rotation in his plant there. As I observed Vince his entire career, the difference in now vs. back in the day in terms of his plant is his lack of rotation, more quad involvement and less PC, and high center of gravity in his plants now (and lower jumps).

He answered my tweet. Apparently he can full squat 170 kg at 60 kg bodyweight. I mean wtf? :ninja:

EDIT: He meant lbs, which is 80 kg full squat ;D and he probably meant 160 lbs bodyweight. Also, 188 lbs half squat. Imagine if he would get stronger to realize what his real ceiling is. Sotomayor was heavier but he was doing 160 kg snatches and had a 3x+ half squat.

Nice post raptor, Durant got outplayed badly at the end though, that's 3 years ago though and it's still amazing how effortlessly he gets to the rim @ 7 foot.

My turn, one of my favourite performances ever, dude was absolutely zonin', never seen Stockton get his ass handed to him this bad:

I liked when he didn't want to salute the USA antemn and flag. Guts!

isnt the biggest weight a 20kg, or ~45lb one?

hahah sheeesh raptor, sometimes ur sense of humor is so, so off...

No, it is not. We have weights ranging from 1.25 kg to 25 kg. So 25 kg is the biggest plate. That was the idea. I actually know 50 kg plates in my old gym (110 lbs). I guess squatting 3 of these on each side of the bar would be pretty good. 3 plates baby!
