Re: Can you dunk??
I am known to perform a slam dunk shot from time to time. The ladies seem to be indifferent.

Re: Can you dunk??
I can dunk at 6' but not well.
Gives me a lot of respect when I play pick-up, but that's about it.
-
Re: Can you dunk??
Yeah, about two inches from windmilling.
6' BTW.

Re: Can you dunk??
I can't dunk, but I get high enough to deny people at the rim lol.

Re: Can you dunk??
I could when I played a lot I'm not sure right now.
I stopped caring really after my junior year.
I missed a dunk in practice and my coach lined me and the other guys that wanted to dunk in games and asked us to show him what we had. If you couldn't make 9/10 he told us we could not try in a game. I made like 4/10.
After that, I gave up on dunking and concentrated on my game.
I was only 5'8" in HS, barely 5'11"-6" now.

Cheryfer and Humanontropin will make you grow taller if you are under 18 yrs.old.

Nah. It's more about genes than supplements.

Re: Can you dunk??
Plus Cherrifer supposedly makes your pee-pee small. :oldlol:
Anyway, not yet, which I find pathetic considering I'm 5'11. I grab rim and have gone a long way from last year but can't put the ball in yet. Workin' on it though.

Dunking at 5'11'' is a mix bag and it's most certainly not pathetic to find yourself on the side of not dunking. I'd say 5'11'' is a good height. If you never dunk, no one will blame you. But if you do end up dunking, it'll be a bonus, for people will be impressed.

Well, yeah, that's true. It's just that even in this country of really short people, I see a lot of people outjump me. Plus I'm my own worst critic. :oldlol:

Re: Can you dunk??
With good warmup and nice running takeof i can dunk with one hand, am around 6'0".... left leg running takeof only tho, i can at max barelly grab the rim of two feet no matter what i do, am kindof like Dr J, Lebron, James White in that way i get my highest vertical of one leg (left leg)
-
Re: Can you dunk??
I'm 6'0'' but far from being able to dunk. In fact, I've never seen a guy around 6'0'' dunk. Maybe it's because me and the people I play with are all white

I'm white and don't understand why so many white people suck at jumping. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy: they suck at jumping because they think they are supposed to.
Go lift weights 3-4 times a week and play a ton of basketball and you should dunk if you are 6"+.
Just gotta put your mind and body into it.

Re: Can you dunk??
used to when i was younger easily. only simple one and two handed mostly but could reverse too. i lost over 20 pounds about 1.5 yrs ago and did barely dunk.

Re: Can you dunk??
Used to be able to do it a lot better than before. Now the best I can do is a one hander off the bounce. Think Fred Jones style in the 2004 dunk contest, just not as much pull back.
Before, it was the windmill as my best dunk. Off one foot, not two. So more Andre Igoudala style. I've never been great off two feet. I think in my lifetime I've thrown down about two 360's... They feel retarded to me, and I just couldn't ever find the rhythm to throw them down nicely.
Best dunk I've ever done in a game was a put back off a free throw. The dude below me on the block got a nice face-full of nuts. In terms of fast break, I only ever got as fancy as doing the Latrell Sprewell two handed tomahawk. Didn't wanna mess up and look stupid.
/end my life story. thanks for reading.

What is your age? I ask because I was surprised to read you could once windmill but now can only dunk off the bounce. How many years are you removed from windmilling?

This is the sad thing lol... I'm 21.
My knees hurt like hell after every basketball session now, but I keep playing. :oldlol:
I could windmill when I was 17/18. I was only about 75-80kg (165-175lbs) and around the same height at 6'3. Now I've been hitting the gym the last 4 years and I've put on about 15-25kg, depending on if I'm bulking or cutting. So I sit anywhere between 215-235lbs.
Its not just off the bounce. I can still do the typical one hand and two hand dunk off one foot. As well as a one hander off two feet. I just think the alley to myself with a little bit of pull back looks the best.

Oh gotcha. It's clear now. I thought you were saying you couldn't do any other dunks now aside from the bounce. Your explanation makes much more sense.
Also, there's comfort in being able to pull off that bounce dunk while bringing it back a little bit. It means you could have scored a 50 in an NBA Dunk Contest: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2yfZ7yZ-XY[/url]

Yeah, that's hilarious...
I can't remember all of Fred Jones' dunks, but I'm pretty sure I could do all of them when I was 18, since I don't remember anything spectacular from him that year. It was all J-Rich's dunks (as usual) that got me amped up that year.

Yep, the only two I'm remembering off hand is that first Jones dunk and his first finals dunk, where he performed a pretty solid bounce-360 extension. It would have been a great opening round dunk, but I was still so bitter about him making the finals in the first place (then winning) that I didn't give that 360 any credit at the time.

Re: Can you dunk??
I dunked for my first time! I once had dunked an alley opp, but this one was legit - off 2 feet with one hand. Felt great! I was acting like Im in the post, made a spin move, then 2 quick steps and elevated for the slam. Awesome!
