Vertical: 44"
Bio: It is rare for a person of Alexander's size to have a 44" vertical. Alexander is a Los Angeles basketball legend and once stared in a commercial with Kevin Durant. According to the Los Angeles Times, he has overcome a lot to get to this point, including being homeless for a year after his parents divorced. The difficult times spilled into his school work as his grades began to decline. Alexander eventually got back on track and played Division II college basketball at Cal State San Bernardino. Assistant coach Robert Tossetti spoke with the Los Angeles Times about his development during Alexander's time in college. "When we got him, he was a big-time athlete that couldn't really dribble or even make a move with his back to the basket. Now, I think that guy is a really good, true basketball player. He understands the game better and how to play the game now, as opposed to just being an athlete," Tossetti told the Los Angeles Times. (Instagram/@hitman_44)
