6'10 NBA Prospect Kao Jumps INSANELY High!

6'10 Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu is the freakiest jumper in the world. With a 9'3" standing reach, and a 45+ inch max vertical, Kao can touch OVER 13 feet with a full approach jump, meaning he can touch the top of the backboard!

Wilt Chamberlain' one-step vertical-reach kzbin.info/www/bejne/ena1eJSVr96Sn9E

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

I've seen the video...it's deceptive with the angles. I think that jump was under 36 inches(maybe closer to 32), and Wilt would have needed a 42 inch jump to touch 13 feet

[@basketball1652]

​@@DunkademicsOfficial Wilt Chamberlain Listed height 7 ft 1 Listed weight 275 lb 7ft 8 wingspan 9 ft 6 standing reach Can you imagine Chamberlain in today's game with all technology that today's players have like shoes , training, nutrition and handles?

You're shooting the video from the floor, you goofball. Do you really need to falsify the demonstration that badly?

[@dienauto4087]

Song please ?

[@mr.bigbrother7112]

He is probably the only person on Earth that can hit the Bounce Dunk

[@shakenbacon3655]

This guy's got the 99 vertical attribute! 😱 Pretty wild seeing a guy 6'10 jump like that.

[@EddieFonzarelli]

99 vert on 6'9" (and taller) players doesnt look even remotely like this...

[@EventfulDesires]

@@EddieFonzarelliolder 2ks like 2k16 he would jump that high but the newer ones players are less bouncy

[@EddieFonzarelli]

​@@EventfulDesires just gonna go ahead a disagree with you. 6'9" and above players dont jump like this in 2k

[@ProdByTaii]

@@EddieFonzarelli hes saying they dont...

[@bean2k33]

Touched top of backboard and touched shoulder at rim. Damn

[@powerbadpowerbad]

Yeah,that was impressive.

[@alexardizzone]

That was the most insane dunk session I ever seen!

[@powerbadpowerbad]

Me too.NEVER seen anyone jump so high and at 6 ft-10'. Crazy hops.

[@presidentanp]

My goodness, some of the best lob catches I’ve ever seen. I wanted to see that 360 under the legs go in too!

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

He’s gotten it a few times before. Prolly should have tried a few more times

[@jaredweiss3772]

This guy is literally a created player in 2K lol! Insane session!

[@Eiyzande]

2:28 BS!!

[@icyboy771z]

I thought Gerald Green head over rim was nuts. This guy gets shoulder level at 10 feet rim...😅

[@sadworldwide]

He looks like a taller Gerald Green too lmao

[@Saturnblue0708]

I like how he has to limit his power sometimes so that he doesn't get too high above the rim

[@begbeg3645]

Thus guy is an another planet ,being that tall and had his vert its absolutely a gift even if I think he got worked is vert but crazy asf💪

[@Shhh11.]

Im exited to see him on bigger stages, dunking and athleticism is not his only good ability either

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

In the right situation, he could thrive. He can knock down open 3s, set screens and be a lob threat, he gets up and down the floor insanely fast. Obviously block a lot of shots…

[@paweljankiewicz1383]

@@DunkademicsOfficial you mean all shots

[@alwayslookingatself]

his current stats out of the UT Arlington Mavericks men's basketball team are pretty poor, less than 5 points per game. He applied for this years draft, but no team took him.

[@ILLSmak]

@@alwayslookingatself He just needs more reps. If you were 6'10 and can jump a little, you are capable of NBA ball. If you are 6'10 and can jump like that, you are crazy. Thing is, it's probably hard to keep your motivation when you are that athletic.

[@alwayslookingatself]

@@ILLSmak Watching that James/Reddick podcast has really opened my eyes to how important basketball IQ is in the NBA. Look at 2nd pick, James Wiseman, tons of natural ability, but he is floundering with the pistons now. I hope Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu makes it.

[@wizza2315]

Been watching dunks a long time since the 80's and this cat did things I didn't know was possible! Unreal

[@prodagiza]

After all these years, you have found yet another golden egg for us enthusiasts...

[@supes323]

Just Wow!!! This is the guy to watch moving forward. VW has got some competition.

[@sebastienlepere1013]

Maybe someone else on this planet can reach as high as Kao does... but until some proof of it is given, he's all alone at this height.

[@waltermorris5786]

Yea at that height...record is 48 inches

[@alwayslookingatself]

New York Knicks , Jericho Sims, 6'10" , has hops like this. These guys need to be careful, they don't get a conncussion hitting their head on the rim.

Hope we will see him at NBA, This guy is something different !!!

[@DylanHaugen23]

🔥🔥 keep it comin billy

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@kenkonno2458]

He probably has the best chance out of anyone to do the dunk where you bounce the ball off of the ground in mid air.

[@thomaslovell3546]

U mean the bounce dunk

[@jetrouski76]

Or the double between the legs

[@rickyseguna23]

I agree, if he can't do it nobody can

[@jazzybeats2592]

to be 6' 10 and jump high is more than a blessing. he touched his shoulders to the rim

[@prodbypjay7148]

he is so good with it its crazy

[@rsstnnr76]

2:56 He hit his shoulder on the rim!

[@jw3414]

Legit. Keep up the good content!

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

Appreciate it!

[@electricjoshaloo]

that's insane to get up like that at 6'10.

[@J3.the1]

Bro took “if I was your height I would be dunking everything” personally and added an insane vertical

[@bram-7336]

A dunker and a shooter, wow😮

[@janoycresnova9156]

Hope he makes it to NBA. Id love to see him get his shoulders to the rim level or block the ball at the top of thr backboard during a game.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

If a team gives him a chance, I think he can make an impact. He can shoot 3’s and block a ton of shots, as well as being a crazy lob threat

[@supa3ek]

Blocking like that wont happen in the NBA. He will learn to just save his energy for offense. Basically because the rules will punish him for any slight touch when defending. Rules are skewed toward offense in the NBA !

[@powerbadpowerbad]

If he makes the league,time is on his side,being so young.Just listen to the coaching staff and work on his game constantly.

[@claudebradshaw1730]

​@@DunkademicsOfficialMavs summer league team

[@peterstark4562]

He's got the physical advantages (length and freakish athleticism). Now he has to continue to improve his fundamentals. It would also be great if he becomes a two-way forward and improve his timing and shot blocking skills. He'll be swatting a lot of shots with that jumping ability.

[@ILLSmak]

Some of it is intuition, but a lot of it can be learned. It's about what dude wants, though. I hope he does work it out, but if he wants to make some money as just a crazy dunker, that's not so bad, either.

[@wanderingtraveler7857]

Crazy that someone with this kind of athleticism went undrafted

[@joshuadelatado6836]

This dude can do the Bounce dunk easily with a few tries, I mean He's touching his shoulders on the rim, can even hang on the top of the board , and he's freaking long

[@netflixkill]

not bad for high school. Hope he keeps it up. its hard perfecting these simple fundamentals.

[@blacksuede]

He worked out last year for the Lakers and then went back to college and signed with Memphis. I hope he lands with an organization that will work with him to reach his potential or at least close to it.

[@icyboy771z]

That fake dunk to Tomahawk is rly creative never seen that one before

[@fjc633]

He got NBA jam hops, but the NBA will shut that down if he doesn't practice some foot work

[@mikeanalista2686]

That man is crazy

[@knw-seeker6836]

Now he could probably do the feat with the coin on the top of the backboard Thats insane

[@Mr.BigNate]

Glad to know YT chat didn't disappoint. IG sure did...

[@maxs9851]

2:54 is the best angle to see how high he is, shoulder above the rim wow

[@jimmylipsjaymo]

It's clear this guy is jumping very high from looking at this footage, but the clear view of filming from level with the rim at the right distance would give a much better picture to see his jumping ability.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

I mean, regardless of camera angle, he literally hit his shoulder on the rim...that should give you a pretty good idea of how high he's jumping! lol

[@jimbo1028]

You should put the camera on a pole and put at rim level so it’s a better angle bc on a lot of shot it’s angled up from floor level. Dude has a crazy jump though 👍

[@TheEzwider88]

3:44 this shows how insanely athletic u have to be to dunk from the free throw line.. 😮

[@adambomb611]

He’s a two foot jumper, losing all his horizontal momentum on his approach. A free throw line jump needs more horizontal speed from the one foot jump.

[@Nolimtmiguelll]

He’s jumping out the gym!

[@wojciechpiotrowski9744]

He should try bounce dunk.

Yeah he prob could do it

[@user-dm6hz2jy9v]

wow😮

[@johnny7808]

I wish that instead of putting the camera down low to exaggerate how high he looks the video guy would at least once put the camera at rim level, so we can see where his head is relative to the rim. There were no shots like that, so we're left to guess. No doubt his head is above the rim, higher than anyone I've ever seen, but it would be nice to document it better with a rim-level camera angle.

[@DunkademicsOfficial]

1: he literally hit his shoulder on the rim. you can tell exactly how high he got, regardless of the camera angle. 2: at the 2:02 mark, I have a camera on a tripod, on top of a ladder. I'd say that's pretty high 3. I'm never "putting the camera down low" with my main camera. I'm holding it at a normal height, where you'd get the perspective of being there in person. Sometimes my second camera is on the floor, just because I don't have another person to hold it. 4. Even with a camera set to 10ft, you're still not going to be able to tell exactly how many inches he is above the rim. You're just guessing
