I dont understand why people give so much importance to dunking. Dunking does not win games.
In my opinion you should get the fittest you possibly can, train your handles, your shooting, and then kick some ass 
Btw, im back.. Havent posted in a while :] |
I doubt anyone is getting blocked if they get up 50 inches with the ball in their hand. Assuming the 6' person has an 8 foot reach, they are getting the ball 12'2" in the air. I doubt anyone 6'7 in the nba can reach that high from basically a standstill position jump, while having enough power to block the shot. I understand your point, but don't be ridiculous with this they WILL get blocked.
Dunking can help you get more exposure. It really isn't that important, but a lot of people think it is, including scouts/coaches.
