Is it douchey to dunk when just shooting around?

i ain't very athletic. I'm in adequate enough shape to do it every once and awhile because I'm tall. If I miss 3 point blank shots in a row, it's nice to be able to physically put it in the basket.

But at the same time, I don't see many other people who can doing it when they're just shooting around and I feel like shorter people are judging me because they think I'm doing it to make them look bad.

Raising the goal from 8.5 to 10 feet should solve the issue.

Your legs will go one day and you'll look back and wish you could still dunk at will.

Enjoy it, kid.

If I could dunk, I'd be dunking constantly. But if you're slamming it home in a pregame shootaround,you might just look like a cornball unless you are double clutching or reverse jamming. Game time any dunk is acceptable.

I lost the ability to walk 3 years ago for a time. Every day I'm limping by the end of it whether I do something athletically inclined or not. I think being able to have gotten back to the point when I used to think I'd never be back on a court again is nice.

Not to mention, I'm super tall. It's not like I'm making a big show of it. Everyone assumes it's much easier for me than it is anyway so for me to take any satisfaction in it would be weak.

A point blank shot is a dunk

I'll be 35 on Monday and I can still grab the rim at will but I think dunking has passed me by I'm only 6'1 and 215 so maybe if I got down to 180 and worked my legs really hard I could punch one through but my days are numbered for being able to easily grab the rim at 215.

No. I'd dunk every trip down the floor if I could, but I'm short and have no hops

It's a shooter's life for me.
