Can you dunk?

[Weeks]

Searched for this thread in Tapatalk and nothing showed up.

Just wondering, 10 foot rim and full sized ball of course.

For me? Yes, I can dunk. Nothing special though. The first time I dunked was when I was 15.

Not quite, need about 3-4 more inches. 5'10". Can slap the rim.

That's pretty impressive. Can you palm?

Honestly, I think palming a ball is half of dunking. That way you don't have to flush it in.

I can dunk pretty easily @ 6'7

Though it'll be a good while before I can jump again lol

Yeah I can palm and I have to agree. Had a friend in High School who was about 6'4" and could jump but he couldn't dunk because he had to do it 2 handed. He could catch a one handed alley though.

Barely. On a good day. Even then I can't flush it as I sort of just push it in with my fingertips lol.

I can catch alleys just fine though.

I'm 5'9. Maybe 5'10 if I've grown an inch over the summer but I doubt it. Still got 2 more years of growing left so who knows right?

I was one of the kids with Jumpsoles and ankle weights on.

I got those in my closet right now. Do they actually work? If so I might just wear them walking around the house all day until the school semester starts and they open up the Intramural Gym again.

Anybody else find they can't ball outside anymore after playing in a gym for an extended period of time.
