“We Need an Air “Cristiano” Jordan 1” – Cristiano Ronaldo, Who Can Jump Better Than Shaquille O’Neal, Excites Fans With His Iconic Header

Riding on the back of impeccable performance by their latest acquisition, Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr is already on the top of the table. Starting with a slump, Ronaldo is now gaining his rhythm. He has won matches single-handedly for his team and will definitely pose a threat to his opponents. He is breaking league records despite being there for just about a couple of months.

The Portuguese legend endured a torrid start with the Saudi Pro club for his lack of decisive displays. He faced the anger of fans and soccer pundits. But, he is back in form and now is showing everyone why he is worth 200 million USD a year.

It all began against Al-Wehda, where Cristiano Ronaldo summoned his inner Michael Jordan and led his team to the win. He scored 4 goals in the match and reached a couple of milestones. Against Damac, he wrote the fate of the game in the first 45 minutes. He became the only player in Saudi Pro League history to score a hat trick in the first half. Yesterday he posted a picture where he seems to float in the air just like the NBA legend.

Cristiano Ronaldo shocked fans yet again

Cristiano Ronaldo is an amazing athlete, there is no doubt about it. He is among the highest jumpers in the world and definitely the highest in soccer. In the post he recently made on Instagram, he appears to be making his monstrous jump during a practice session.

The video left fans in awe of the Portuguese star. One fan in the comments directly took the comparison to the NBA GOAT Michael Jordan. He wrote, “We need an Air ‘Cristiano’ Jordan 1” other stated the obvious like, “only Ronaldo can do this”, “NBA career next”, “CR7 Airlines”, and “flyyyyy”. One fan came up with an amazing request, as he commented, “flyy me 2 the moon”.

Ronaldo outjumped many NBA greats

Ronaldo’s highest jump ever can make some of the great NBA players insecure about their vert. He has reached an unfathomable 41-inch leap in a UCL match. An average human has a vertical leap of around 19 inches. One of the greatest players to play in the NBA Magic Johnson attained a leap of around 30 inches, while the powerhouse Shaquille O’Neal jumped one inch more than Magic.
