How many of you can dunk?

[KFitzy87]

I'm 6'1" 170...

Also as posted a few posts above... Do you guys jump higher off of one foot or two?

Personally, I get about 3 more inches off of one foot

I jump off of one but I'm definitely slow-twitch. Most really explosive, fast-twitch guys jump off of two.

I could in college at 6'1 297. After fb my sr year I got tendonitis in my knees playing bball and stayed away from the ol' roundball for a few years.
Go figure at age 31 and 240pounds I can only get the bottom of the backboard, but I'm sure I run 12.4 miles now faster than I could have then.

That sir, is impressive.

Same... I wouldn't call myself slow, but I'm definitely not basketball quick. I was more of a spot-up shooter in high school ball and only drove to the hoop when I had a clear step/lane. Once I get up to speed I am decently fast. I'd like to say I'm more of a smooth player, but I think I'd be giving myself too much credit lol

Get some of these:



Jimmy couldn't jump at all before he got these. Jimmy was just like you.

6'5 225. Have dunked before. I never played basketball so it was never of importance to me until the last few years (still of only slight importance).

Had a 30 inch vert in high school and was 6'4. Grab the rim with both hands from a stand with ease. But couldn't dunk.

What? That puts your hands at almost 2 ft above the rim with a conservative wingspan.

was a post player so didn't have many opportunities as I can't dunk flat-footed. I did however swat the **** out a guy who tried dunking on me...that was the last time he went in the lane against me.

I'm 5'11 and in highschool could barely get rim. I realised that I was never going to dunk and that shots beyond the arc were worth more points so I spent all my time there.

I could one hand dunk in HS, and could reverse a volley ball (or from a stand still). I would probably get laughed off the court if I tried to do that today. Or possibly end up in the ER.

I'm 5'9" and can grab the rim. I'm confident that if I trained in plyometrics I could do it... but that's too much effort.

I'm 5'7". I sometimes wake up from a daydream of dunking and wipe away the tears before coworkers see.

20 years ago I was close. You'd think I'd have figured it out by now.

None of that is exaggerated. I bet if I put two weeks of dunking practice together I could get some coordination down and actually dunk... But I never did.

A lot of 1-footed dunking is practice. Being smooth coming up to the rim.
