-Impossible to be 6' / 6'1'' wingspan / 31'' maximum running vert and be able to dunk 10'. I am 6'1'' with 6'5'' wingspan and i still need ~34'' to dunk.

Huh? I'm 6'0 with a 6'2 wingspan and I can dunk with a ~30 inch vert. I just need to get my thumb of the palming hand over the rim and that's it.

WTF?  You would have to palm the ball damn good , and i still doubt you could do it. What is your standing reach? Mine is 7'11'', 30'' is only 10'5'' for me.
Generally i'd say you need 8 - 10 inches above rim to dunk clean , i'd accept 7'' with perfect palming and timing and everything, but 5'' is pushing it too much.


On a SLRVJ, you don't really lose height on your jump with the ball, and I agree with Raptor, you can (not all the time) but dunk with 5-6inches over the rim.  If you have a powerful arm swing with the ball, the ball with hover on your fingers (not palm)and you can swing it hard to dunk it without losing control of the ball.  No?

I have dunked clean on a 9'6" rim before when I was jumping 35" at max (10'0" touch) using what I described above.

7'11 reach for me as well. But if I have a 6'2 wingspan and you have a 6'5 wingspan (how do you have such a HUGE wingspan?!?!) how can we reach the same height? You must have a really high neck and long head or something, so the 6'5 wingspan loses length to cover that distance. WTF :ninja:

BTW - I can't dunk without palming the ball. Not even at lower rims.

is sickinvendetta being serious? i think he's just trolling.

Ever since that NBA players training thread, I think he's enjoying trolling this forum

I actually think he's serious. And I kind of get where he aims at with his ideas, but he's not hitting the right stuff.

Twisting in a one-leg jump instead of coming up liniarily and jump definitely helps in my experience (if anything, the center of gravity gets a better trajectory and more muscles can be utilized/better leverage is obtained).

Well here there isn't such a thing. Or none that I know of at least. But that's because, you know, we rock and all that. :ibsquatting: :ninja:

My voice is really annoying for me (and for others too :D) because I can "sing" in a certain octave and the just jump over some octaves so that I can sing again. I can generate the notes but I can't sing in a certain "mid-area" space if you will. It's really annoying.

Let me quote from squidward:

"How many bitches have you nailed?"

OK, maybe that wasn't such a good idea...

Those VMOs are quite coming out right there...

I don't get the "3 plates" thing though - why do you consider a 45 lbs plate "a plate"? Why not 55 lbs or another value?
