oh yea, seems like most of you prefer low tops for jumping in, probably cause of the extra range of motion. i'm completely fine with high tops though, and think they might be preferred cause i get heel slip with some low top shoes.

is anyone else training to want to be able to eventually dunk in games? obviously vert training in general goes hand in hand(maybe except training JUST for standing vert), but i'm specifically gonna work on being good at going off LR and off my left foot. seems like going off 1 foot is definitely necessary for easy dunks in full court. am still a far way from making a 1 hander off the dribble off 1 foot though.

think i'm 6' with a 7'8 reach. i don't think hand size matters too much even for one handers, you definitely don't need to be able to palm the ball. and even then, you always can just go for two hand dunks. try playing around with low rims and dunking on as high of a rim as you can, and you'll get a feel though. if you ever manage to get 15 inches over the rim though, i'm pretty sure you'll be able to do more than just throw it down lol. probably windmills, 360s, etc

nah trust me, people with small hands need at least 15 in over the rim to throw it down, cause they need their hand over the ball in a downward motion to dunk

if i could palm the ball i can just use my wrist to dunk it in, but now i have to use my entire arm to throw it down

this is wrong and in fact makes no sense.

Think about it, your hands have to be on top of the ball to dunk it in. You might get lucky once in a blue moon and the ball goes in, but to be able to consistently throw it down you need at least 13-15 in over the rim if you can't palm the ball.

no dude. 13-15" is halfway down a normal person's forearm. it's possible to throw down with an inch of clearance (i.e. 8" over the rim); that was my personal experience. higher is better, and obviously the higher you are the more consistent you can be. but there's no universe in which 13" over the rim is the minimum to dunk. not even with two hands.

I've also had the same experience. I can dunk one handed and my vert is 35 inches max. To touch rim I need 26 inches so with 8-9 inches I'm able to dunk albeit palming the ball. Sometimes I can get weak 2 handed dunks but that's without dribbling the ball and they are weak as fuck so imo they are not legitimate dunks.

put down some 1 foot dunks off the dribble on 9'6 today. can't wait to start deadlifting again too to keep strengthening the P chain which is too vital in the 1 foot jump.

yea.. i know j clark is jumping high, but i don't think he's near 13'/top of the backboard on his 11'8 dunks.

dno man.. looks very high. Why are you talking about 13' though? to get that 11'8 dunk, he'd need like 12'2" at least.. 12'2" is pretty far from 13'... If it's really 11'6, he'd need ~12' to land it. Either way, that rim looks HIGH.

also, if Myree isn't doing it, it has to be crazy high. Myree can jump out of the gym.





On a 10' rim, I imagine he's almost touching the net (given his height/reach).





look at the people on the left.. obviously there's some angle going on, but that hoop looks enormous compared to them.



so ya, he wouldn't need 13' to land those dunks.. *only* ~12'-12'2.

pC!
