How many people can run a sub 4 minute mile and can dunk?

JT from Okst/BTC did it.

Hmmm, you're calling me out because I claimed to be 5-7.5 and a sub-4 miler (more than once) who dunked on a lowered rim, but two post later Oldsub4 claimed this...
"OK, Ill brag. I did run sub4 and dunk in the same year -- I'm 6'3" ... and you say nothing. Maybe you know who Oldsub4 is, so...

This is me/info: I've run two official sub-4's, first was outdoor, second time was indoor.... I also have a sub-4 road mile at the old Steve Scott Festival of Miles. The race was whole second timing and the start/finish were at the same spot. I can also claim a couple road down hill sub-4's. One in Parkersburg, WV and the other at the State Street Mile in Santa Barbara, Ca. I also have roughly a dozen sub 3:42.22 1500 meter performances. I hope I've given enough specifics to at least remove "alleged" and "poppycock" out of your inquiry. I prefer to remain anonymous, but can provide more info if that's not enough as to who I might be. Look at the list of 700+ names and narrow it down.

Why has no one mentioned Justyn Knight? 12:51 5k and a former basketball player. Surely, 12:51 speed means he is a sub 4min guy.

I ran a sub 4 1500m in high school and could dunk at 6'2". Workouts would indicate that I could run close to 50 seconds over 400m. My reach is only 6' and I have a long neck, so I played a little shorter than my height on the basketball court. Most sub 4 minute milers who had 48 speed or better and were also 6 feet or taller, would probably be capable of dunking if they weren't the type who stop and jump off two feet when attempting a layup. I mentioned Ovett earlier, as he was about 6' tall and ran 47.5 at 18 and apparently did very well in the long jump as a 14 year old. I imagine that Roger Bannister and Jim Ryun could have dunked if they could manage a layup. Lots of very fast 800m runners who just slip under 4 minutes would be capable of dunking.

I’ve posted a video here of me dunking at 34, could first dunk at 18 and could throw it down very nice at the same time as running sub-15 in my early 20s. Never close to sub-4 though. Really any reasonably athletic guy in his 20s over 6’2 should be able to dunk.

Well heck, if we're gonna go that way - I could definitely dunk if I were dropped out of plane at 15,000 feet. Heck, I could dunk on a 14,999 foot high rim.

What makes the op’s question interesting is can someone who specializes in running to the point that they can break 4 still dunk? I used to be able touch to touch the top of the of the square on the backboard. I probably could have run 5:30 at the time. The training it required for me to eventually run 4:30 cost me several inches of vertical and I was only running about 40 miles a week. I could still dunk, but not nearly as easily. If I had gone all in on running fastest possible mile, I would lost even more vertical. The point is, the training required to dunk compared to the training required to run a fast mile are antithetical. The better you are at one the less likely you’ll be able to do the other one well.
