Athletes from other sports that can dunk

[NBA4EVER]

I'm talking about players from the NFL, MLB, maybe even NHL, that can dunk a basketball on a 10 foot rim

right now all i can think of is Owens. But i'm guessing most NFL wide recievers can because of their leaping ability

Im guessing most professional athelete in peak condition could.

Julius Peppers and Antonio Gates both played college ball. Derek Lee (Cubs) was recruited by UNC to play as well. Those are the 1st to come to mind

i wanna know if any MLB players can dunk. Most of the players in the MLB are pretty short

You know the Big Unit can based on height alone.

WHO? Matt Jones!

If you are of decent height, keep your body in good shape, have good genetics (or both)....you will be able to dunk. I'm willing to bet most WR can/could dunk. Actually, pretty much any football player that lifts and has a 30+ vert can dunk, assuming you know how to jump and control your body in the air....isn't really that hard.

That being said, TO can throw down pretty easy and I have heard Randy Moss can too...

I have always wanted to know if Tiger Woods can dunk. He is 6'1" which is a little on the short side for dunking unless he has big hops.

With a lil seasoning, CC Sabathia would be Shaq 2.0

Basically.

its not as if its hard.

Not NFL or MLB but:

Volleyball players(in particular the front line players) should easily be able to dunk. They're on average around 6'6, 6'7 with ridiculous verticals.

Apparently, in one article I read, weightlifters (Olympic not the bodybuilding) tend to have crazy verticals as well. Although due to height and length of arms I'm not sure if many can dunk though.

Check the combine numbers of almost any WR or DB...even the 5'10 guys could likely throw it down.

Almost any high level Volleyball player could dunk with ease.

Any jumping track athlete and many of the sprinters.

In general it's is not that hard for a world class athlete of decent height dunk on a 10' hoop.
