There weren't many 6'2" white guys "killing it", I assure you
I was the shortest guy on our team that could dunk
I'm 6'3" and white. Of course I was one of only 2 white guys on our HS team. Everybody could dunk.

If standing on a chair, maybe.

I could on a good day back in the day. Not foolish enough to even attempt it now. Would be painful and ugly.

I don't understand this
You should still be able to dunk without palming the ball. I could.
Especially if you could dunk a volleyball "forcefully"
Hold the ball from underneath on the way up and as you get over the rim, force your wrist down.

Nope, and I'm pretty tall. I just can't jump for shite. It has been a while since I have tried, but even when I was young and in decent shape I could just barely touch the rim.

I would only use these after the street lights came on as to not give away the secret for my insane jumping ability. Not one guy in my middle school or high school claimed to use these.

I tried them for a while when I was 13 or so cause I was tall and couldn't dunk. Didn't like them. By 14 I gained to ability to dunk a boys basketball. It was on after that..

I did once in high school and it wasn't a really good dunk. Several of my teammates could though.

it certainly affects you if you are playing and someone is guarding you
but if you are just trying to dunk by yourself, you should be able to do it, especially if you can dunk a volleyball "forcefully"

Or you could just grab it 2 handed, cock back at the elbows and shoulders, and try to break the backboard by ripping the rim off like a man.
