    Default Tallest player in the NBA to not be able to dunk

    I think it's Jason Kapono. Have never seen him dunk and doesn't seem like he could get up there really...

    He can dunk. I've seen him do it in warm up. It wasn't much of dunk, but it didn't look like a huge effort.
    Hell Jose threw down two in games dunks this year, and I had never seen him do one before that, so you can never really write a guy off unless they flat out state they cannot.

    Apparently the players in question are John Stockton and Jeff Hornacek

    No way? I've been dying to see Kapono dunk. Warmups, game anything. Damn I missed out. I got the idea when I saw Barea with that layup. I hate Barea...

    @ Kapano's draft workout he had a 8'6'' standing reach with a 30'' vertical, standing vertical of 24''.

    edit: i hate how my entire life, my standing vertical has always been the same as my one, two or n step vertical....

    Zach Randolph can barely dunk. It was funny, when he was on the knicks, the bench went crazy when he dunked it.

    Nash has stated he can dunk, but only with a volleyball.
    Ridnour actually had a pretty good vert if I recall correctly, so i'd be suprised if he couldn't.

    That's not true. I remember reading that Nash throws down alley oops in pracitce.

    I'm pretty sure everyone in the NBA can dunk.

    Kapono can definitely dunk. I'd say anyone who couldnt dunk would be 6'2 player and below. If you are 6'4 +, its very easy to dunk and with the training they do it would be even easier.
