Are you white? That would explain it.

Jeez, almost 5'1", and I can at least touch rim, and I don't think I'm in the best shape.

They made a movie about you.

 

[falconx80]

no but

1) buy a pair of good sneakers
2) practice jumping every day (jump rope)
3) work out your cafs
4) set a goal to jump higher and higher

5) see yourself dunking in 6 months.

I'm 6'0 and I can dunk.

Am I an awesome athletic specimen?



I think not.

 

[vi edit]

6' here and can't even come close to touching the rim. I was a distance runner, not a sprinter.

<----- these legs were built for endurance, not for explosiveness.

I'm 5' 7" and I cant dunk a basketball.

 

No, you're just white.

White men can't jump.

 

[mpitts]

Holy crap.

I am 5'10" and I was able to dunk back in the day.

Do squats to build up leg muscle.

Even 6'6" white guys should be able to dunk. He must be white and athletically challenged.

Should being the key word.

I went to high school with a kid who was 6'6". He played on the basketball team. He could not dunk.

Hard to believe. The dude had Bill Laimbeer-esque ups.

The best way to build up your "jumping" muscles is to do plyometrics.

Also, all the exercise in the world isn't going to counteract genetics. Some people just can not jump. Never have been able to, never will be able to. I am one of them. I'm also in the same group of people that even with 3% body fat and doing 100 crunches a day I will never have a 6 pack.

Some things are just never meant to be.

hmm.... plyometrics eh? gotta try it.

 

[Parrotheader]

Get one of those adjustable goals. You'll look uber cool dunking on an 8' goal.

I'm just a tad under 6' and I've never been able to dunk . . . . didn't need to either with the jumpshot I used to have.
I could at least grab onto the rim though. Probably can't even touch it right now.

What does being 'white' have anything to do with putting a piece of synthetic rubber into a metal rim? Stop being stupid for like two minutes please.
