He's 6'9", do you know how minimal of an effort it takes to dunk?

Yeah I've seen that.

Like I said, I'm sure he was capable of "dunking", but he never did a single time in an NBA game to my knowledge.

I had never seen that, but I love how they titled the clip "100% real."

I'd be very surprised if there are any NBA players that can't.

Glen Davis has dunked many times.

I'd definitely be willing to bet there is a white PG or two that can't.

There are only 12 NBA players under 6'1" and to be in the NBA you are an above average athlete at a minimum.


These are the current players under 6'1". All can dunk.
Aaron Brooks
Phil Pressey
Jameer
Lowry
Patty Mills
Darren Collison
Nate Rob
Ty Lawson
JJ Barrea
Russ Smith
Shane Larkin
Isaiah Thomas

Not necessarily. A dunk is a high % shot.

The "glorification" of the dunk is one of the worst things to happen to basketball at the lower level (college and below). Guys can still shoot in the NBA. In college there are several guys who are great dunkers, but couldn't hit water if they fell of out boat from 6 ft and out. Many games can get flat out ugly with guys consistently clanging mid-range jumpers

Not in-game, but still a dunk. Has one on YouTube from an international game too.

but seriously, there was a point where Shabazz Muhammad had as many dunks as LeBron, in half as many minutes.

At LSU, I saw Big Baby pick a guard's pockets, go on a fast break, then get rejected by the rim. One of the strangest sequence of events I've seen in a bball game.
