NBA hopeful jumps record 111cm despite being 177cm
An NBA hopeful has equalled the unofficial record for the second-highest vertical jump ever recorded at the NBA combine with an incredible leap of 111cm.
What’s even more remarkable about the feat is that it was completed by the shortest player at the combine.
Kay Felder may be tiny by NBA standards at 177cm but he stole the show with his incredible hops, falling six centimetres short of the all-time record broken by D.J Stephens in 2013.
