Well I almost made this at different points in my life, but wondering who out there is capable at ONE point in time of meeting all 3 of these criteria. I'm 5'10", could dunk a volleyball in college (couldn't palm a basketball) and have a 2:49 mar PR which I got years after college.

So you're saying you couldn't dunk.
Capable or actually did it?
I suspect people will come up with examples of basketball players who are "capable" of a sub 3 marathon, but being capable and actually doing it are different things.
The point guard on our college basketball team was under 6 ft, could dunk, and ran his 1.5 mile time trial in our phys ed class in under 7:30 without working very hard.
At different points yes, never at the same time. Could dunk from around 17-25, didn't run a marathon until late 20s. Hard to imagine you could do both given very different muscles being worked.
I had a high school teammate who's 5'-11" that could dunk and run sub-16 for cross country (also 1:53 for 800). There's no doubt that he could've run a sub-3 marathon had he gone out and run one.
Despite different muscle groups, I'm 100% sure this is do-able, just rare.
10" for the ladies, also?
Good point - how about touching rim for women and 3:10 marathon. Good equivalent?
