During a workout for the Brooklyn Nets, Memphis swingman DJ Stephens recorded a 46″ vertical leap. It was the highest ever on record in the NBA. In the tournament against Michigan State, Stephens thrilled the crowd with a thunderous block, hanging in the air for several seconds before sending it away.
Stephens isn’t much of a pro prospect, more or less an athlete who lacks fundamental skills. But hey, 46″ would look real nice in Europe. Or the And1 tour. Whichever he prefers.
