One reason that Iverson, and all male athletes, can jump so high is because they have a high center of gravity.

Iverson has speed and also lifts off the court on one foot, and raises his hands high in the air. These principles of aerodynamics help him to jump high.

Also mental rehearsal, sometimes referred to as visualization, helps. That is just exactly as it states, he mentally rehearses and visualizes the jump, and then achieves it!
