which of the 2 do you think gets the most air?

I once saw this thing online that scientificaly proved that volleyball players jumped higher then basketball players...which, to tell you the truth, dosnt' surprise me...at all... but most basketball players would deny this fact.

of course we are speaking about profesional players, like lets say nba players vs olympic volleyball players.

I mean if you look at most professional volleyball players (indoor, not beach) the net comes down to they're waist line when they go for a smash(spike, attac...what ever you wanna call it).

But then again, if basketball players actualy did the right steps, as in a jumped with 2 feet instead of 1 and used the momentum of their arms they could also get some pretty good air. I mean vince carter creats 700lbs + of force when he jumps.

what do you people think?
