    My first dunk came in the fall of the freshman year of high school. I was about 5'11'' and 14 years old. It came at an open gym where a freshmen classmate of mine was trying to dunk in front of the varsity players. He was more or less doing the thing where he'd jump then lose all control of the ball, throwing it off the backboard as he grabbed the rim, creating the illusion that he was "so" close to dunking. I was jealous of the attention he was getting though, so I laced up my shoes (I'd just arrived) and went over to give it a shot myself.

    I can't remember if I did it on my first or second try, but it was a moment permanently imprinted upon my brain. I think the adrenaline boost from having so many onlookers is what put me over the top. It was a one handed dunk coming from the left wing. After a flushed, everyone freaked out and a 6'7'' senior grabbed me and excitedly yelled to his coach about how I'd just dunked, but the coach just figured he was joking and walked away laughing. I remember people were giving me high fives all throughout the open gym and the next day at school all sorts of non-basketball playing friends were coming up and asking if the rumors were true about me dunking. It was pretty legit moment for me at the time.
    Hahaha...damn. THIS was me before I could dunk.

    I'm half white/asian but I get all my basketball skills/hops from my dad, who is white. In high school, he was 6 feet tall and could stand underneath the rim, and jump straight up without taking a step and dunk the ball.

    I was 16. Height was 6 3 . Nothin special but I have long arms so it wasnt really great leap.

    Im 6 6 now at 25 and I do it easy. But my wingspan is 6 11 so dont need a lot of bounce,to dunk.

    I'm almost 6'4", can't dunk though. 6'6" wingspan, just not vertical to speak of lol.

    I must have terrible form jumping or something. I can squat three times my body weight 4 times give or take.

    I've never been able to dunk, and to be honest I suck at playing basketball in general. I can't shoot the damn ball for shyt, and foul too much on D.

    Anyways I was 15 years old when I first got dunked on by a 13 year old. I was embarrassed to say the least.

    Obviously I cannot speak for everyone else, but I am not black. I've always found it a little silly when I heard certain people say they can't dunk because they're white. Most of the time they're joking and making light of the situation but every now and again, I'm wondering if some really believe that's the reason they can't jump.
