I'm white so no. Barely can touch the net.

No
Although I'm sure I could if I wanted to. But then again, I actually studied in school.

I can, however I haven't tried in a while because last time I couldn't move for like a week without looking like a pipe was shoved up my arse

The last time I tried/did it, I felt like I tore the Lat muscle under my right arm. It hurt for a month.

No--I have NO ups
Only time I ever dunked was in a pickup game, and I totally cheated by kinda launching myself off the dude going for the defensive rebound

The ole "if I could palm the ball" answer.... will be numerous in this thread.
I also expect some "if someone gave me the perfect lob".

Back in the day, I could fly. I used to love dunking it down with authority. However, old age, fat, and gravity have taken their toll. I can still grab the rim, but I can't hammer it down anymore. I'm on a weight losing kick. When I get back to my weight goal, I should be able to throw it down again.

Yes. But it's gotten really white looking. I lost the ability to dunk two handed a couple years ago.

5'9". Could dunk a tennis ball in high school. Hands weren't big enough to palm a basketball but got close a couple times.

Your girlfriend enjoys it when I dunk it in her.
Posted on 2/17/16 at 8:59 am to TheSexecutioner
now? I doubt I could touch the rim
in HS? Yes but nothing very impressive. Only one handed and its not like I was really throwing it down
never during a game though because I had to have no one around be coming from the left side of the goal and that never presented itself in a game unfortunately...
I'm 6'2"

C'mon man. At 6'2" you should have been killing it!
Posted on 2/17/16 at 9:01 am to TheSexecutioner
Yep. Being tall is fun.

At a count hair under 6 foot the closest I ever got was being able to grab the rim.

I'm 38 and 6'3"... my dunking days are over but I can still get a full hand above the rim. My basketball skills have seriously deteriorated with age.
I play a lot of sports but do not take it very seriously. I'm sure if I dedicated my life to training, I probably could get a few more years of dunking but I'd rather spend that time with friends and family. Keeping sports to stress relief and fun only.

I can dunk easily from a standstill. I can probably windmill with a running start.

There weren't many 6'2" white guys "killing it", I assure you
I was the shortest guy on our team that could dunk

How many of you guys rocked these down the street back in the day?
