Yes, I'm sure this has been posted many times before.
No, I don't care.
I'm interested to see how tall the people that can dunk are, and how tall the people that can't dunk are. I'm only 5'7", maybe 5'8", and I'm almost able to dunk on a 9.5ft, and then after that I'll work up to standard height.
Post your height and yes or no.

6'1'' at 230 pounds, I don't think so lol. I feel like I jump higher when i'm playing in the game though and not thinking about jumping high so maybe i could touch rim or somethin but not even close to dunkin.

A 5'10'' kid with a 30" vertical could dunk I'm sure. I'm 6'1'' and can grab net on my tip toes. If I just lose 30 pounds I could dunk no problem I bet.

That actually seems like quite a good idea, builds confidence + ability. I'll have to try that, thank you.Originally Posted by hardwork08

6'0'' can grab rim but not dunking. That's some of my inspiration to really increase my vertical. I don't play school basketball anymore but I'm in a recreational league and being able to dunk for that next year would be awesome.

dont worry theyre only fooiling themselves and that reastrd who said 5'10" w/ 30" vert could dunkOriginally Posted by sillz10
rim(10ft) = 120"
5'10" = 70"
vert= 30"
height + vert = 100
so now you NEED AT LEAST 20"
next measure your arm starting from where it meets the top of your head
and again it has to be AT LEAST 20 in to TOUCH the rim let alone dunk
so its wow string long arms
or wow strong retarded liars

5'9" and can still dunk a volleyball (at least as of last summer, probably not right now because I haven't played in awhile and gain about 15 lbs every winter). I used to be able to dunk but only sometimes because my hands aren't big enough to palm a basketball and I would have to cup it against my wrist.

5'7 and was dunking in highschool. I had to train so hard for it. I'm 5'8 now and can just grab rim with no vertical or jump training in the last 3 years since high school. Those were the days though on the courts getting the ooohs and ahhs. Makes me want to get back into it

How is it that all these guys like 5'7" can dunk on here? I've never seen a little guy dunk in person. I'm 6'3" and can barely dunk, and we only had 2 guys on our high school basketball team that could dunk.
