Is Reggie Jackson the most "athletic" basketball player ever to suit up for BC? The guy is just amazing.
Obviously, the dunk was incredible and never should have been called a charge.
But there were other moments where he just seemed to be on another level from the other folks on the floor. There was a rebound near the end of the first half that bounded back to around the top of the key. Jackson jumped to get it and was literally head and shoulders above every other player. I have never seen anyone jump that high.

I don't disagree, but if we're talking pure leapers, I'm appalled that no one has mentioned Jon Beerbohm. He built an entire career out of the backpick-alleyoop and lob from out of bounds.

They were showing the replay on the Jerry Jones scoreboard, I pointed up to it, he watched it. He looked back at me and I made a motion of the defender sliding into position he shakes his head and said it was a good call.
SWOFXCKFORD!

No I am not joking.
I like BC basketball, but what I like more is making judgments based on evidence.

Results of the physical testing done at the NBA's Chicago combine are in, and Boston College's Troy Bell is at the top of the list.
Insider obtained an exclusive copy of the confidential report this weekend.
Among all players tested, Bell ranked second in vertical jump (41 inches), second in the 3/4-court run (3.06 seconds) and bench pressed the 185-pound bar an impressive 17 times. His combined total score of 299.0477 ranked him far and away the best athlete in the draft. The next closest player was Ohio's Brandon Hunter who scored 290.1428.
Ball State's Theron Smith, Wisconsin's Kirk Penney, Texas Tech's Andre Emmett, San Diego's Jason Keep, Mississippi State's Derrick Zimmerman, Washington Doug Wrenn, Cincinnati's Donald Little and BYU's Travis Hansen rounded out the top 10.
Of the top prospects tested, Dwyane Wade finished 14th, Kirk Hinrich 20th, Josh Howard 22nd, Carmelo Anthony 38th, Darko Milicic 41st, T.J. Ford 44th, Chris Kaman 45th, Chris Bosh 51st, Nick Collison 54th, David West 61st, Luke Ridnour 63rd, Brian Cook 68th, Mike Sweetney 70th and Pavel Podkolzine 76th.
While NBA teams don't rely on combine results to nearly the extent that NFL teams do, it can be an important factor in the draft process.
