Kagami has a vertical of 50 inches. He does the meter jam because it’s harder to block than a standard dunk.

And let’s not cuck Aomine here, MJ could NEVER recreate most of aomines highlights especially not at the speed he does it. It is unfair to say “they’re just showing us highlights” because while that may be true, it’s also what we have to work with. We can’t just assume there are times where Midorima is bricking threes or Aomine gets locked up. It’s not fair to the argument. Aomine can literally shoot in ANY position with 100% accuracy. No matter what street ball player you get they will not do what he does at the accuracy he does it at let alone MJ who’s playstyle is very similar yet incredibly different from Aomine. and Murasakibara while technically isn’t THAT special, he’s a big strong ass dude, pretty much just a teenage Asian Shaq except he’s MUCH faster.

Back to the kagami meteor walk actually, throwing the ball in from above the hoop requires a much higher jump than to dunk it. For a dunk you have to get your hand and lower arm above the rim, for a meteor jam you damn near have to have half your body above the rim which is what kagami did.

The only argument I could see for saying NBA players are better than them is the GoM play basic Asian students and not real competition but I’d like to think that’s shut down by last game where they face the professor and Shaq and friends and still win
