Is Coen Carr the most athletic person you have ever seen? I don't know how the answer to that question could be no.

Michigan State basketball has seen some very athletic players come through the program, especially during the Tom Izzo era. Yet none of them even come close to the athleticism Carr puts on display time and time again.

Carr may not be the best all around player in this history of Michigan State, although he did show glimpses of an improved jumpshot during Moneyball this summer. But there's no denying that any time Carr touches the floor it is must see TV because there is always a chance he could do something you've never seen before.

Recently Michigan State basketball posted the below video showing the team testing their verticals during practice. To absolutely no ones surprise, Carr led the way. But what is surprising is just how high he jumped.

Keep in mind that the bar you see below can be set to upwards of 12 feet, and Carr is almost reaching the top of it at the 11-second mark.

John Kirby posted the below screenshot from this video that gives a better look at just how high off the ground Carr is.

As someone who has never touched the rim once in my life (I'm 5-foot-11 so leave me alone), I can't help but imagine what life would be like if I could jump this high. I was never skilled enough to make it past high school in sports anyways, but I still imagine life would be a lot cooler if I could jump this high.

And life really can't get much cooler than the life Carr is living. He gets to play basketball at one of the most historic programs in the country and in the blink of an eye can blow the roof off the Breslin Center with another one of his high-flying dunks.

We saw Carr do that a lot as a freshman already, but just imagine how many more highlight reel plays we'll get to witness once he starts playing more.

Someone get SportsCenter on the line because they're going to want to pay attention to Carr this year.
