Poll- can you dunk?

[kingslender]

sort of a weird question, but Im curious as to who can actually dunk a regulation NBA basketball ino a regulation 10 foot rim. Ive been working on my vertical leap very hard for over 2 months, and Ive always been into basketball, but Im still about two inches away. I just wanted to know how many b-ballers can jam, and if not, how close are you? And does anyone have any advice for geting me above the rim?

i can

alot of people on here dont believe me but i first dunked last year (15 years old/wieght 183/5'8"/bf i think like 10 %/and im white for most that its hard to believe).
right nw im starting my first weight training for ball and power. i did a really serious ply program and it did nothin for me but it was the program. i think the program im going on will help.

ex. mon heavy squats, deads, lungs

tues: abs upper body

wed: easy leg curls and leg extensions

thurs: plys abs

fri medium: wokr on swissball and wobble board squats, different leg workouts for balance and agility.

sat: ball all day

sun rest

ps but i will be playing ball like 3 hours a day to 5 like usual.

re dunk

Power cleans, front squats, step ups and plyo's will put you up to the rim in no time... Watch the days that u play ball dont interfere with your training. Ive seen alot of people workout there legs and then go and play ball expecting to jump higher, bye then your legs are so shot youve got nothin left to give.

good luck

I could almost do 2 handed dunks before I developed thendonitis in my knees. Now, I can barely do a one handed dunk.

I can dunk. 6'3" 234lbs.

 

[Kid Dynamite]

I can dunk no problem. But, I'm 6'7''. I have trouble doing it in games because I'm scared I'll slam my knee into someone's face. I'm trying to 360 right now. I can't hit a 180 w/a regulation ball though, so I'll need some time. I'm 21.

LOL WTF

 

[coolcolj]

This is what I call hops!

"I have trouble doing it in games because I'm scared I'll slam my knee into someone's face"
That would be the ultimate dunk, dunk on them & ko them at the same time! But if they were unconscious you couldn't flex over them after it!

I wanna be like Shane!

"I'm really flexible," says Hamman, whose tale of the tape reads as follows: height, 5'9"; weight, 360 pounds; chest, 62"; biceps, 22"; thighs, 35". "As part of my training I stretch so many times a day I never let myself get tight." He is so supple he can do a standing backflip and dunk a volleyball.

You already have knee problems? have you seen an orthopedic?

Haha. That would be cool, I just don't want to mess someone's face up in a bball game at a school rec center. If it happens, though...

I've never had a problem with that. One time a guy took me out in a high school game, he hit me in the air and I only got part of the rim and fell on my head, 21 stitches. Thats what I always think of on fast breaks and I get scared as hell. lol.

That's another thing. Those fucks that stand right under you when you're comin down. I've screwed up my ankles on shit like that.
