How many of you can dunk?

[wartknight]

That sir, is impressive.

That was a long time ago when I was working out hard 4 days a week and my life revolved around football. I was a lot "harder" 297 than I am 240

I'm 7'4 275 and can't get high enough. *sigh*

 

[Dopey]

Only 5'9" and can one hand dunk a little ball.

mmhmm

 

[Dopey]

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

Math?

Height: 76"
Arms (above head): 24"
Vertical: 30"

Total: 130" or 10' 8"


8 inches above the rim.

I can confirm this as I'm 6'3" and I think my standing reach is in the low 8's.
I think they were adding wing span directly to the top of his head, which is generally incorrect.

Does dunkin doughnuts in coffee count??

I can dunk if I jump off two feet, but can't off 1. Interesting story, I know.

Back in the day I could dunk a smaller basketball one handed. I'm 5'11 but have long arms, had decent hops. Worked hard at acquiring ability to dunk.

That was me in high school. At 6'-1" I could dunk pretty easily (one hand or two) going off 2 feet, but could barely get the ball above the rim going off 1 foot.

Yeah, added the wingspan right to the height...didn't even think about that.

At 6'6" and 39 years I can still, barely. Its not going to last much longer.
