Two Dunkers With 50 Inch Verticals: Isaiah Rivera And Donovan Hawkins

My name is Isaiah Rivera and I have the highest officially tested vertical on the planet at 50.5 inches and am the co-founder of THPstrength, a company that focuses on vertical jump training for athletes.
What makes me a little different from most athletes that jump high is that I started with a pretty low vertical and documented my entire journey on this channel. Here is my journey in a nutshell:
14: Started working out to jump higher for basketball
16: Hit my first dunk and shortly after found out about the world of pro dunking
17: Trained like a madman and hit my first between the legs dunk
18: Entered my first professional dunk contest
19: Knee pain almost made me quit dunking
20: Met my coach John Evans, who helped me get rid of knee pain
21: Won my first international dunk contest
22: Tested a 48 inch vertical and started coaching full time
24: Tested a world record 50.5 inch vertical
The reason I make so much free content about jumping higher now is because it’s a resource I wish I would’ve had when I was in high school that would’ve prevented a lot of unnecessary mistakes and injuries.
My mission is to share my passion and love for dunking and training and to make dunking an officially recognized sport.
I hope that I can be an inspiration for your jump training and dunking journey,
Isaiah

bro donovan is fiiiire. the amount of strenght dude applies on the jump… feels like he gon break the rim at some point. awesome stuff

[@HiimDavin]

Bro Donovan is such a freak of nature, hes so fucking fast to imagine him on the football field playing receive or defensive back

[@TheChappelleBunch]

that's a great point.. at 6' 4" and explosiveness like that. He would be a menace on the football field as a receiver or tight end for sure.

[@IsaiahRivera1]

He might have something cookin up football related...

[@chrisaustin4115]

THP 7 on 7 Flag football team defense would be insane. Pick 6's all day

[@chrisaustin4115]

​@TheFISHINGbros89 true but its easier to go to defense. He would be a monster safety or cornerback

[@JohnnyD99999]

Don't know his back story...did he ever try, or was he stereotyped and unfairly denied the opportunity, like others like him???

[@esra.cousin]

Imagine going to play ball after your 9 to 5 and you see 3 freaks of nature dunking all over the court with their heads over the rim....Im defo going straight home 💀

Donovan!! Wow this is a great session to see for real!

[@jonbeck19]

Lowkey probably the craziest dunks I’ve ever seen in pickup games that was wild

[@taminosugijanto5291]

The fact that Isaiah absolutely freaks out about Donovans dunks as if he wouldn‘t be dunkin just as insane

[@rydercollins5553]

its probably that isiah has literally never seen someone jump as high as him before lmmaooo, or maybe like two other pro dunkers but definetly none that are 6'4 215 and white

[@IsaiahRivera1]

Btw first hoop was 9'10" and second hoop was 9"8.25"

Basically an 8 foot hoop for donovan

[@neildcruz3227]

My basketball net is 9'10 I can barely dunk on it

dunk as much as you can

2 things are certain in life: Death and Austin not throwing lobs 😆

[@pennyspentpennyearned]

Lovin ‘ the 360 windmill

[@Patawon]

Don is such a violent dunker and he has great style in the air. You literally can’t teach either trait. You can improve your vert, but he’s literally a phenom. Isaiah doesn’t dunk nearly as hard or have the style, but he makes the absolute hardest dunks look easy.

[@xhawk8456]

To be a 6’4” genetic outlier…who has also then worked hard on top of that

[@PaltedSeanutss]

Wdym genetic outlier

[@xum0007]

i feel like with his power and frame alone he couldve played in the league or at least pro somewhere

[@JohnnyD99999]

@@xum0007 probably the usual -denied the opportunity unfairly...passed over in recruiting, etc...I mean even if he had no football or basketball skill, drfat him and teach him based on his potential alone. He has the absolute, prototype, top of the line, athleticism.

[@IsaiahRivera1]

8'2"

[@bluepul9140]

@@IsaiahRivera1 I watched NBA combine and they ask you to not tilt your upper body when testing for standing reach which is different from what John Evans says "reach as hard as you can". I can add 2 inches to my standing reach if I tilt and reach as hard as I can. So I wonder which method is the correct one.

[@xhawk8456]

@@bluepul9140well when you jump you reach as high as possible so reaching as high as possible when you stand is the more legit one

So basically when comparing these nba guys verticals to isaiahs just minus 2-3 inches…sometimes more
