with or without an alley oop?

how tall are you?

how much do you weigh?

i'm 6'1 228 and can dunk easily off an alley oop.. by myself sometimes..
 
No, but I could bench press 425 and leg press over 1200. LOL I always wanted to be able to dunk a basketball and I still have dreams that I do. It's hard when you're built like a pitbull. I could touch the rim at one time, but I was nearly 30 lbs. lighter.
 
I havent tried, used to be able to playing hoops in college, somewhere around 6 5
 
I dunked an NBA size ball a couple times, barely. I'm a tad over 6'1", 200 lbs.

I'd probably have an easier time right after I worked out my calves, as I can sky then.

I have mastered the art of crouching before shots. My forehand is currently unstoppable. I move a LOT when I play.

You've been playing lately?

I just started up again. Playing almost daily right now.

I'd need a month to get ready for you. I don't want to have any excuses. I move around alot also. Have very quick reflexes and can slam on the forehand on most shots. I'll give you the edge since you were a tennis champ, but I'm tenacious and can focus very well. It would be fun.

Just a hair below 6' and currently 265ish..........yes, yes I can.















Did I mention the rim in my driveway is only 7 1/2 ft. off the ground...??..??

I still look like the man in front of my daughter though. :)

I used to be able to grab a regulation rim and hang, and could slam a tennis ball, but never a b-ball.

:FRlol: and that is what is important...lol I am the same way.
 
Funny you post this, because I just got back from playing. And yeah bros, I can throw it down. I'm about 6'3 and have game that would put Kurt Rambis to shame. I don't share his love for eyewear, but I do sport a sweet mop that flows in the breeze as I breaks neeyas ankles with my crossover on the way to the hole.

Anyway, yeah, I can all like, dunk and stuff.

could you imagine some your size and strength in the league.. that would be crazyness.. you'd be pulling down entire goals like shaq used to do in his younger years..
 
Nah and its embarassing as hell cause Im 6'5ft

Cant jump for shiat

Also suck on defense. But I can hit from anywhere on the half court
 
I can't even reach the rim. :(

but I look good on the court sporting my Abercrombie attire.
 
I won a number of dunk competitions through high school and college. One of my best was throwing a lob from the three point line to bounce about 10 feet in front of the rim. Run after it and leap, catch it in the air in the midst of a 360 and throw that baby down.
 
i could grab rim pretty damn easy , but dunk..nope...but then again im only 5'10. i got some pretty good ups, gimme 2 inches and I could throw it down for sure.

lol @ Kurt Rambis ...

I'm 5'9. Chances are I can't dunk. I can touch the rim though, I think. Haven't tried in a long time.
 
Well, at 29, not like I used to. I played in college and was a pretty high flyer. Now, I can still do the two foot, two hand deal and a few tricks. But my joints don't like the beating.

6-2, 230ish.
 
in high school, 5'9" white boy with 48" vertical... on thing that helped was dinasour hands. Now at 200 i dare not even try. Not so much the going up as the landing.

you had a 4 foot verticle??....hmmmm

I should say HAD a 41 inch vertical. I'm 32 now so I'm sure some inches have dissappeared. But I'll still throw it down on you



i;ll still elbow you in the ribs if you try...bill laimbeer style.

yep... keep in mind that was 15 years ago or so. I remember playing dupont in the finals and they had jason kidd and randy moss. Moss inbounds, i steal from kidd and dunk over randy. Talk shit to them both about being all hype and that was a severe mistake... i don't ever remember having my midget ass handed to me like the rest of that game.

AAU tourney? Summer league? I thought Kidd was from CA and Moss was from WV? I'm not doubting you, just want to see if you and I played in some of the same events. I'm a little younger than you though.

You play in college or anything? Wonder if we ever crossed paths.

How have you played against? I have against Glen Robison, Chris Weber, Jalen Rose, Grant Hill, Travis Best, Jimmy Jackson. and others. The best I ever played against wasd Anfernee Hardaway in an AAU tourney in Seattle. He was unreal...

I played in the A-10 in college and a lot of summer leagues with NBA journeymen. My brother played profesionally in Europe and when I was in those circles I knew and played with everybody worth knowing, including many of the guys you referenced, although they - and you - are a little bit older than I am.

I've moved on - I still talk to a few guys from college and from that side of the world, but I have other stuff going on now. I still love to work at camps and coach kids from time to time, but I don't have much time these days.
 
Yeah I can throw it down with two hands - 6'3 @ 205 - squats have helped so much.

My hands are little. I can't dunk one handed by myself, but off an oop then yeah.

Oh, I guarded Eddie Curry before at a Flash's camp for college scouting. Yeah that wasen't fun. Rough being a 6'3 center - I got pwned all the time, I had to play dirty as hell to compete.
 
some guy named mike jordan used to come play 21 with me and my mom in my backyard my mom would usually lose but i owned that cat..
 
Never could dunk a basketball (I'm 5'11"). Closest I ever came was dunking a volleball when I was 196lbs. At 220lbs I could dunk a tennis ball, and I thought that was decent considering height/weight ratio.
 
I currently weigh about 245, and can stand under the hoop, jump with no run up, and dunk with both hands. One hand seems easier for some reason. I'm about 6'1", b.t.w.

I can dunk a ball in any way, shape or form. On a seven foot hoop
 
some of you guys are amazing.
i've got decent jumping skills but i'm too damn short.
i'm 5'8" and can stand under the rim and jump and grab it pretty well. well enough to hang on. with a run i can grab with both hands.
most people are pretty impressed by that.
