What's your vert?

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I could dunk at 6'4", given the same vert I have now. I can get about 1" above the rim at 5'11".

not just jumping ability, there is a lot of skill and timing involved, and you do lose 3 inches from your jump with the ball in your hand, and another 3inches when using 2 hands.

Ack, I guess when it comes to dunking I'm basically buggered.

I'm a 6'3" dunking fool myself, it's one of my few athletic abilities. I can hit a mean homerun though as well. Anyway I can bust a 360 on a good day if I'm excited to be playing, but I'll give mad props to you for that one step two footed bring the ball behind the head two handed throw down, damn nice work dude. What is your vert at. I was tall clear back at 17 and 18 but it took until I was 20 to really throw down a ball. Squating gave me most of my power and vert. I think it also requires a great deal of technique and coordination of the whole body to leap high. Practicing is very important. I also bought some jump soles years ago that added about 4-5 inches to my vert. I really got into it and did the plyometric workout tape they came with two or three times a week. Nothing feels as good as shoting around a bit at a gym with a bunch of other people there. Then you wait until you brick a three off the rim run up and slam that shit back down, it really gets attention.
