October 26, 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: This was what I struggled with the most, I had/have strong hands but they're not huge. Therefore I could dunk a small ball back in hs but not a regulation size(although I could with some) ball because I just couldn't grip it well enough. Even after the knee surgeries I could still get up pretty well. But now @ 5'10 and pushing 30 years of age, I'm satisfied with just being able to get the rim. That's good enough for me.

October 27, 201312 yr Sure, hundreds of times! Wait a minute.........I misread the thread title, thought it said "Have you ever been drunk".
October 27, 201312 yr Unfortunately I was born with the dreaded "White Man's Disease". :lol2: But on an 8 foot rim I could fly high like David Thompson.
October 27, 201312 yr 6'2"....when I was playing ball WKU I could dunk with two hands...but everything had to go perfectly.....breakaway, steps right, etc....now....I can still grab the rim with two hands, but no dunk.
October 28, 201312 yr At 6' (and 100 pounds lighter) I could get a small ball down. Couldn't palm a regulation ball and couldn't do it 2 handed. My dad had pretty good hops, so it must skip a generation.
