    Re: what will b the fist thing you do when you get the game

    Hey Wiz, VC's vertical is 40 inches, Lebron's is 38. So if you figure that Lebron is 6'8" or 6'9"(he's not done growing), and has a little over a 7 foot wingspan, and Vince is only 6'6, and probably doesn't have the long arms like James, James probably gets a little higher b/c he's about 4 or 5 inches longer than Vince when you figure out his body length gives him the advantage. By the way, I got that fact from ESPN insider, they measure players height, arms, and vertical before the draft. So if you want to be exact, it's not a stretch to say that Lebron does in fact get as high or higher than Vince. James actually took a quarter off the top of the backboard in practice this year, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. Anyway, it all depends if you like James or not, even people that claim that they don't hate Lebron tend to call him overhyped, or say he's not so amazing, but I guess even MJ had his doubers early on. OH well, the fact that James is 245 pounds and can get up is even more amazing, all the other highflyers tend to be skinny, except for Barkley. Oh well, if you make the jump w/o even one year of college experience like Melo or Magic, and are Rookie of the Year, there's gonna be haters saying they know this or know that, I just go by what I see, or know, such as the fact James vertical IS 38 inches, that he IS 6'8 1/2, 245 pounds, 7'1" wingspan, I don't like to argue over stupid stuff that people agree or disagree about, it's not like we can get out a tape measure and ask Vince and Lebron too jump as high as they can, and see for a fact who's higher, and I doubt that Vince or Lebron tries to jump AS high as they can on every slam anyway. I do know this, James WILL end up being a much better player than Vince is. Just like when Kobe came in and averaged about 8 points and shot 37 %, people had bad things to say even when Kobe showed glimpses, despite 3 airballs in a row to beat Utah. People have no faith. Then a kid comes along and shoots 42 %, 21 points, 6 assists, 18 years, and team doubles in WINS, without adding a major free agent or a player returning from major injury, and the HATERS still come up with stuff. Gotta LOVE IGNORANCE baby!!!!!

                  What ya'll really don't know is that A.I. has more bounce than both of them. A.I. got a 42-in vert. But look at his height. That's why u hardly see him dunk! When he does, it seems as if he barely does. Also the main reason he doesn't dunk is because he's afraid of being undercut. Had to put this in also- - - - - - NOBODY, I REPEAT NOBODY HAS/HAD/ WILL HAVE MORE BOUNCE THAN MY MAN SPUD WEBB!!

                              so true, that would have been a great marketing ploy...


                              surprised EA didnt do that, they obviously thought about it...maybe we can get steve to ask them that in the interview later this fall
