You know that it‘s called NBA2k15.

I don't suppose I did. Live and learn. In any case, the point stands. Shorter player with a high vertical jump really isn't at a disadvantage. Taller or shorter players both have to time their jump properly to be affective.

Genuinely think he'll be the 3rd best CB we've signed since the takeover.

Laporte and ?

Good point. Height can be good but jumping ability is an important equalizer.

Different sport, same concept. Former NBA player Muggsy Bogues dunking the ball in a pre-season game. He is 5'3" tall. His head is partially above a 10' basketball rim.

Fucking hell!

That's what you call a jump!

I was corrected, apparently it is from a fancy video game. But the guy is 5'3" and has/had a real life vertical leap of just over 44".
