I could. Had a lot of trouble holding on to the ball and could barely get it to clear the rim. There were more failures than successes.

5'8, white and can touch rim, if I had any height I'd be breaking backboards

Back in my teens and early 20's. I'm 6'3". Now, I could maybe touch the rim if I'm lucky.

in high school off a running start I dunked a tennis ball. I'll soak up all the street cred that entails

If you aren't a slob, you still should be able to do dunk from one step with that type of height. I started working out again this year after not doing it for years. I'm 6'4" and I can almost do it now and I'm in my mid 30's as well.

What you are claiming isn't that surprising to me

I could back in the day, but I am fat and out of shape. I use to have good hops for a white guy

I could windmill, 180, 360, and chocolate thunder like an animal .. but I had Dominique Wilkins playing in front of me in HS .. I blew my knee out my senior year, had a bitch for a girl friend, and my coach fricked me over .. We had 4 NBA first rounders on my team ..

I might still be able to on the drop step. I used to stand flat footed and dunk two handed with ease. That was 10 years and 20 lbs ago.

I'm 5-7. I dunked a tennis ball once in high school.

ONCE.

I was able to touch the rim 1 out of about every 4 tries. I was feeling exceptionally athletic one day, and got a tennis ball over it. (I was never able to do it again )

My high school gym had a notoriously springy floor, though. I could barely touch the spring box in other gyms.

I'd be shocked if I could touch the net these days.
