I believe Wilt Chamberlain had a higher vertical leap than Spud.

If there were players in the NBA that were his height, then you would see a lot more players with verticals jumping out of the gym like him. You cannot compare any body's hops to that of Spud Webb. The dude was shorter than my legs. I'm exaggerating but he was short, and to get to the basket he had to jump very high. Guys now are on an average of 6'6" and above, why do they need to jump 44" to dunk the ball. But to get your answer right, yes the dude from New York last year jumped higher then him. His name is Nate Robinson. Look it up on NBA.com
GOD BLESS YOU and take care

ahm, im not really sure bout this,but VINCE CARTER definitely has the talent.. remember when he jumped over the 7-footer european player in the olympics?and 7' is 84"...his hand was way over the rim and his feet definitely rose higher than the player's head...man, that's why he's called 'half-human, half amazing'.
