October 25, 201312 yr I was just outside shooting hoops in the driveway with our first grader and some of her friends in our subdivision. We have a nice adjustable goal since her league plays on 8 feet so you know I am going to dunk a few. It didn't take long till a few muscles started to get sore just for 8 feet haha. I am 6'1" and could always jump. I could dunk a basketball on 10 feet in HS but man not now. I raised it up to 10 to show my daughter and friends......well I got stuffed by the rim. They all had a good laugh but kind of made me sad. It got me wondering who could dunk in their day?? and be honest. I couldn't do 360 or go all crazy but I could throw it down with one hand. Maybe 32 is old............... :depressed:
October 26, 201312 yr I wasn't blessed with hops so that's a negative. I know WV's gym was my best effort during my Sr season but sadly it never happened on a regulation goal.
October 26, 201312 yr I was able to dunk when I was about 20, nobody that knows me now and not then will ever believe that. I was 6'1" and played Rec Ball 3 nights a week. I couldn't dunk in a game, just could run up palming the ball and edge it over...but it was a dunk!!!
October 26, 201312 yr I could dunk a nerf bball on a nerf rim on the back of my bedroom door growing up.
October 26, 201312 yr ...... I could dunk a volleyball in college before tearing my ACL, now, I'm on the All Foam team.
October 26, 201312 yr Yes, but that was while in high school running cross country and track and immediately after while I was still in shape. Being 6'2 didn't hurt either. Can hardly touch the rim now though.
October 26, 201312 yr I could dunk when I played in college and for a few years after. At 40 I can still touch the rim. Not bad for being 6'.

October 26, 201312 yr You can most definitely add me to this list!!! :lol: I wrote this thinking of you :lol:
October 26, 201312 yr No... not in the least, but being the talented bench warmer that I was, I was pretty darn good at spinning the ball on my finger. Coach wasn't too impressed with my prowess especially when the ball got loose during regulation play. :ohbrother:
October 26, 201312 yr I could dunk back in the day with ease. Now I can only do one handed dunks and never more than one or two a month! 34 years old feels 54 the day after basketball to me now.
