Michael Jordans legendary slam dunk from the free throw line has been calculated at 0. 92 seconds of pure hang time. But how many seconds could Jordan have gotten were he doing the same jump on Mars? Or Jupiter? Andy Peterson and Zack Patterson share the math equation behind hang time. Lesson by Andy Peterson and Zack Patterson

But MJ jumped not just high, but long, if he had tried to go just for height, he might have been in the air longer, applying more force to gain more speed since he doesn't need to be accurate, so the limit of 1 second to me, is just an approximate (as they claim in the video) based on the physics of most athletes, not the outliers.

So if someone jumps bout 30inches off the ground then someone who jump 43inches off the ground your telling me they would have the same hang timeidk how it works

Did not really explain what is really needed to be explained. It is like, here is the result, and therefore it is so. That is not a way to explain something.

In the future hopefully there are basketball courts on the moon so everyone can do crazy dunks and jump from like half court that would be insane
