Well unless i counted wrong since with my hand up I'm 6'7 and I can touch 9'7" then i should have a 36 inch vertical. And will I be able to jump higher when i grow up

Yes I know what a vertical is, and when my hand is up i am 6'7" from the ground to the top of my fingers.

The average adult is 36 inches!? Sweet Lord, man, what NBA entourage do you hang out with!
I'd say the average is in the low 20s; 36 is outstanding for your age, kid. Keep working at it, though, cuz while you can outjump everyone now, you ain't gonna outjump **** if you play at the college level. Those guys are into the 40s. That number, 40, is kind of a milestone for college coaches; kind of like a 4.3 40-time for football players.
As a benchmark, Michael Jordan was 48.

are you stupid.....????
how many people do you know with a 36 inch vertical....????
do you know what a vertical is???
stand still, jump straight up. not taking a step back and then forward. just jump straight up.
i bet you dont have a 36 vertical.
ALSO how does raising your hands make you 6 ft 7? i am still the same height no matter how high my hands are.
also, if Michael Jordan's vertical was 48 inches, that would mean his head was over the rim......BY 6 inches. i have NEVER< EVER SEEN A VIDEO WITH MICHAEL's NOSE OVER THE RIM BY 6 inches... somebody was lying about that too.

I think that is great for a 13 year old. I would say the average adult vertical leap is 36 inches. You are still 13. You could still grow somemore AND you could still get stronger and increase your vertical leap. You should be dunking easy when you are 15.

I'm not real sure to believe you. If you actually do wow thats insane. I'm 16, about 5' 11'' on a good day with a 30 inch vert and my coaches think my vert is surreal. Maybe it's because I'm white.

Your13? that's a great vert. Practice your jump shot and run miles to stay in great shape. Good luck.
