    I am the same as LilStevie. I have never measure my vertical, but I can get rim and am somewhere between 5'9" and 5'10". Does anyone have any idea what that would make my vertical? Is there an easy way to measure a vertical?

    find out how tall you are stretched out and just subtract that from 10 feet.

    Mine WAS 38 in high school and even JUCO, but now....I am not sure. It isn't what it used to be.

    Maybe 32 now? Hard to say.

    I can dunk a 9 footer, and can touch net on regulation height, so I've probably added a couple inches to my vert since I last had it measured.

    So...5'6+1'6=7...9-7=2, and to dunk it you have to be able to get about 3-4 inches above the rim. So I was probably right on with error(28 inches)
