The highest person I've ever seen jump in person was a guy by the name of Thad Tipton from Belle, MO. In track and field, he cleared around or right at 7' at the state meet back in the early 90's, and still holds the class 2A record as far as I know. I couldn't bend well enough to be good at the Fosbury Flop, but I could jump right with him in basketball off one leg. (FWIW, I was the first to dunk in a game at my HS.) :)
As for people I didn't see in person, Michael Wilson was someone I heard about a lot back in my college days. Think he ended up setting a world record with the Globetrotters.
