Can I dunk? (Somewhat NRR)

Holy Shit - I'm 5'9" and can grab the rim with one hand - I can't, and probably never will, be able to dunk.

If I were 6'4", I'd be slammin my brains out.

I’m 5,7 and I could dunk in collage….I was a sprinter 400m/800m but I ran on the cross country team.

I'm 6'2" and 16 and I can touch the rim thats it.

If you can't touch the rim before training you shouldn't even try to dunk.

Some say you need to jump 6 inches over the rim to dunk, but it won't look good at all.

You need to be able to jump a full foot over the rim to look good which means 6'3" or taller and a mid distance build/fast twitch, or 6'0" and sprinter build/fast twitch.

Very few people can legitimately dunk a basketball and not look stupid doing it.

On of my friends is in band and 6'4" but he's fat and doesn't care about sports and he can't even come close to the rim.

NICE

You can do it. Work on sprints, squats (with weight), and plyometrics. There are tons of guards out there with about your build who don't look like much to someone who does not watch a lot of amature basketball, but if the get into the open court they will throw in down like no one's business. The fact that you're white doesn't matter, but it does make you look cooler when you do get up there becuase no one will expect to see it.
