2. Take ur answer from above away from 127" (height needed 2 dunk cleanly)

127" - ??? = ???

(Step Three is optional but is recommended if u want 2 figure out wat ur vert needs 2 b so u can dunk do it)

3. Finally add the answer from step three 2 ur vert and ur answer is wat ur vert needs 2 b 2 dunk a basketball through a regulation 10ft hoop

??? + ??? = ???

usin me as an example dis is how i did it

73" + 18" = 91"

127" - 91" = 36"

So i need 36 inches 2 dunk

18" + 36" = 54"

My vert needs 2 b 54 inches 2 dunk

HOW MANY DO U NEED???

pce yall....

gosh. calculated everything and i need 16 inches to dunk. hahas. how about doing more difficult dunks like windmill and stuff? how much more to be able to do those dunks?

For those of you who "should" be able to dunk but can't, there is something that most people overlook that is really pretty tough. If you cannot palm the ball pretty well, you are going to have a really hard time dunking a basketball. I can do a million kinds of dunks if I use a soccer ball or a tennis ball or whatever, but with a basketball I can do 1 hand, 2 hand RARELY, and an oop maybe 1 out of 20. My highest touch is 10'9'', so if you plan on doing some legitament in game dunk you should touch around 10'11'' I would guess...

thats only if u cant palm easily, i think most ppl on here can. most ppl said their hands were around 8-9 inches. thats what mine are and i can palm easily.

My running vertical is 25 inches, and after ur calculations i need about 5 more inches to dunk cleanly. I should have that after im done my 21 week program.

Today I played a basketball game for school and after it, since I was warmed up and everything I thought I'll try dunking it. I tried a feww times. The first few attempts were very close. I clearly got high enough to dunk but just couldnt get the ball to go in. Then I went up for the last time and I got pretty high. I tried to dunk it but instead kind of threw it in then grabbed the rim. Not a dunk but the best attempt so far.

So I guess about 1 more inch, maybe 2. Looks like I'll have to keep on working on it!
