Who's the smallest player that can dunk?

by **MajaFiggaz_Early!** on Tue Jan 07, 2003 10:58 am

I May believe the Spud thing but I have no evidence and most on this board don't either, that Boykins can jam. You can tell me your Mike Jordan and honestly belive it but without the evidence no one'l belive you(OK that wasn't a good example but...)

On the other hand. I've seen Muggsy Bogues in a game on a 1on1 fastbreak go up and do a layup, tapping the backboard. His hand was pretty much on the upper left-center on the little square on the backboard. So He had the hoops to throw it down, its just a matter of palming and technique.(Then again if I dont have evidence u wont believe me!)

I am 5'6 and I get up high enough, but the only time I threw one down was off a rebound(for some reason I fly for boards but barely touch the rim when I try and dunk) probably because I didn't have to palm the ball I just go up there put one hand up and whipped it forward cathing the ball and slamming it in one swift moment.

You may be too heavy, I bet if I (160 pounds 5'8-5'9) dropped 15 pounds or replaced 5 with muscle I could grab regulation rims without a problem.

i dont know too much with pounds, but im 179 cm, 70kg.

im really skinny. i want to know what muscles to work out. just to try.....

Im a sophomore in HS and I'm 6'0 155 and can dunk two handed. And I am white as can be! My bet is that almost all NBA players close to 6'0" can dunk. If I can, they surely can.

#1: All rims are the same height; high school, college, NBA... WNBA... all of them.

#2: A 40 in. vertical jump is uncommon in the NBA... hell, it's uncommon anywhere in the world. There is 4 or 5 players TOPS in the NBA that have a 40" vert at the moment. When you hear a player like Vince Carter has a 45" vertical jump, it's stretching the truth just a little bit. It's kind of the same principal of stretching players' height. Charles Barkley isn't really 6'6, he's more like 6'4. Carter's vert isn't really 45", it's more like 37 or 38. Iverson's vert is around 35 or 36. Ricky Davis's vert is about the same as Carter's, maybe a little less. In Michael Jordan's prime, it was said that his vert was about 48 or 50"... but it was actually about 42". I'm sure Spudd Webb's vertical was around 46". The highest jumpers I've ever heard of are Earl "The Goat" Maniguald with a 52" vert and Michael "Wild Thang" (for the Globetrotters) who can dunk 12 ft. He's only 6'5, so I'd estimate his vertical to be about 55".

#3: I would be surprised if there was 1 player in the NBA who can't dunk. I've seen Nick Van Exel and Dana Barros put on quite a dunk show before, and they're both small.

#4: I can dunk it quite easily, and I'm 6 ft. tall... my vert is only about 33".

Hmm well I am white and back in the day (before injuries) I could 360/Reverse reasonably well - mind you I am 6'5''

Yeah, im 5'7" 235lbs and I can dunk... on a 8 ft. rim....

by **Rens** on Tue Jan 21, 2003 4:44 am

You tellin' me...

At least my names isn't Gadzuric....

Sports Illustrated says Earl can dunk, he just doesn't, cause "If I get touched up while I'm up there, it's a long way down."

Easily one of the worst threads I've ever seen...

Why? I realize people might be exaggerating when it comes to their slaming skills ( I didn't cause I got none

) or NBA players but let them say what they want and if you disagree say why.

which is probably the reason y allen iverson doesnt dunk so much anymore, coz he has to be healthy for his team to have any chance of winning

by **Rens** on Tue Jan 21, 2003 11:36 pm

My name isn't Gadzuric either...

Personally, I'm not fat, I'm 1m87 and 81 kilos so that's quite normal.
Dan Gadzuric is 6'11 and 240lbs, which is quite normal too... he's only 5 lbs heavier than you and over a foot taller.

by **Dert** on Wed Jan 22, 2003 12:47 am

Yeah? Well your font is ugly...

by **Bill Russell** on Wed Jan 22, 2003 2:04 am

LMAO... Great comeback Dert... :lol:

Now check it.

Me, I am 5'6'' and I slam it down like nothin.
I can do a dunk because of the training program that I am havin right now.
6 months ago I could almost touch the rim, but now after the trainin an all that, I can dunk.

i don't doubt you for a second.........my old neighbour is 5'7 and he dunks with ease and he don't even play bball

doesnt Ronny Fields have a 45+ inch vertical?

Typical NLSC, mindbending discussions about the most overrated play in basketball. I know i'm gonna get deleted for dissing the almighty Andrew and his band of retards but if a poster swears or flames a poster disliked by the management of this poor website. And you wonder why people are displeased with the way things are going here.

YouTube · by **Andrew** on Thu Jan 30, 2003 12:52 pm

Actually, you've been deleted because all you're doing is going around the forum resurrecting old threads purely in the interest of disturbing the peace. If the forum is as uninteresting and bad as you say, then no one's forcing you to post here, especially since you perceive me to be the evil webmaster, and consider the posters in this forum to be "retards" and "morons".
