thank god, its such an awesome game to play, i love playing it, just wish i was slightly better in shape. i did however learn i can jump higher now than i could last year, and i havent done anything... interesting.

my shooting if still pretty good, dribbling needs some work, but passing and D is still good.

I'm 5'8" and I can grab rim on my good days.
If I was 6'3" I would be able to dunk :p

Lies... you would be 7 inches taller... but you would also weigh more, and need more muscle than you have... with your current muscle, you would have trouble getting the extra weight up, and because of that might end up with the same height...

Its not that simple :) . I am 6'2 and could grab the rim at 230 lbs... how much do you weigh :)

135~140 lbs. :eek:
Don't forget with added height, your wingspan/reach also increases.

Nate Robinson (New York Knicks) is 5'9" and can dunk with ease.
