  That does have anything to do with the list. The list are recorded vertical jumps not the authors own list.

  When do you think they were taken? Yesterday? Obviously they were taken early in their careers, maybe HS, maybe College, Maybe rookie year.
• Hb31187

  

  Melo has NEVER been able to jump higher than Shawn Kemp lol.

  It's a standing vertical not all great jumpers can jump as well from a standing position.

  Where is he getting these numbers from? I see no sources, and the entire website appears to have been made by some guy trying to hock his ebook. Obviously he would want to inflate numbers to give people the idea they should/could be jumping even higher.
  
  This is probably less reliable that wikipedia if anything.
• 2kool4skool

  

  From the site
  
  Randy Moss - 51 inches
  
  Actually, Moss recorded a 39 inch vertical at the combine.
  
  Georges St. Pierre - 48 inches
  
  LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  This is probably the best interview I have ever heard. Shaq is a great person. Talking about how his dad called him a dummy for not making his free throws!

  His whole presser was GREAT. I expected nothing less from Shaq. I really hope he joins the TNT team.
