Sean Stewart Tops Zion Williamson’s Vertical

Some athletic feats you think might never be challenged. Bob Beamon’s epic long jump in the 1968 Olympics - that jump obliterated the previous record by nearly two feet. Secretariat’s 31-length win in the Belmont Stakes might stand forever. Only Wilt Chamberlain has ever scored 100 points in an NBA game, a record that has stood for over 60 years now.

Zion Williamson was that sort of Paul Bunyanesque figure at Duke. At 6-6 and 285, he had unbelievable power in his entire body but especially his legs. He set the standing vertical record at Duke at 35.
