Amid all the tributes I've read recently about Mickey Rooney, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that, even in his late 80s, Rooney had a 40 inch vertical and could dunk on anybody. His favorite trash talk expression before posterizing somebody was "Hey, let's put on a show!"

Here's a compilation video of Rooney showing his basketball prowess. The dunk on Lebron is at the 8:46 mark.

Great length! I like his lateral quickness, too.

I think the contemporary college player Mickey Rooney most resembles is Shabazz Napier.

By the way, I just found an unbelievable video of Sister Jean doing a 900 in the skateboarding event at the 2006 X Games in LA.

Unfortunately, copyright issues prevent me from posting it here.

I've seen that.
