Andrew Wiggins' ridiculous high jump photo has only added to the legend of the young man who may very well by the No. 1 overall selection in next month's NBA draft.
Wiggins, dubbed the best basketball prospect since LeBron James, has been touted as a once-in-a-generation talent, and he proved his worth during a standout season at Kansas in which he led the team in scoring.
This week an image was released of Wiggins, at the sports science collective P3 in Santa Barbara, Calif., nearly jumping out of the gym.
Wiggins' leap reportedly measured a jaw-dropping 44 inches. That's two inches below the best vertical leap ever recorded by the NBA.
The photo quickly made rounds across the Internet, and before long people got creative and Photoshopped Wiggins' image into that of familiar pop culture scenes. Here are some of the best:
