I can dunk a basketball in a goal that's 40 yards away in 4.4 seconds.

I am about 3 to 4 inches short, I bet. I can easily palm a basketball so I bet I could dunk if I could somehow find a way to increase my vert by that amount.

Good range on my jumper though.

I had to learn to dunk with two hands, because til this day I can't palm a basketball

You are in good company with some NBA all stars

I always figured if I met Ben Wallace I would just walk around palming a basketball.

Francis definitely can't. Pretty sure on Ben Wallace. Not positive on Marion but apparently he has small hands.

6'3" Whiter than Cool Whip but I dunked a few times in high school, went in the Army and they screwed my knees up and I haven't tried since.

It's surprising. Ben Wallace and Shawn Marion are huge.

Unless they have tiny hands like this:



Being as tall as they are they should be able to palm it, it would seem.

Wallace has tiny hands and a bad wrist. He is like a 6' 8" Nick Saban

5'9 and I have dunked a couple of times after hundreds of attempts. It always has to be an alley right by the rim though
