Default Re: dunk attempts/vert mix

i dont understand how you have a 40 inch vert bro
im 5'11 with shoes on, 5'10 without
and my reach is 7'8
and i can get my wrist just about as high as you get it and i have a 32 inch vert

either you cant jump as high as you can normally when ur trying to grab rim, or your measuring wrong.
since you say the rim is 10'1 and your reach is 1 inch shorter than mine, i would say your jumping about 34-35' not 40
but then again, like i said, maybe your just not jumping to your full potential when you try to dunk

anyways, you said that you cant dribble with your left.
ill tell ya again man, your kinda short, you wont be like 6'2-3 unless you hit a nice growth spurt which is unlikely...
stop trying to jump higher for now and work on your game.
i saw your other vids on shooting and i gotta say your skills arnt that good. when you dribbled, you were offbalance, and your form was off.
practice on your skills if you really want to play ball, cause at your height, vert aint gonna help you too much cause even with a 50' vert, most 6-2 6-3 would still be able to get over you because of their size.

not meaning to hate or anything, cause you got nice hops, but focus on whats important. also, if you dont really care about really playing ball and just wanna dunk, then forget anything i said
