Default anyone else

yo
I'm 14. 5'11 and I can dunk left hand right hand and almost two hands. Everytime after a game or w/e when i dunk. ppl start calling me lucky and what not. Or telling me the only reason I can dunk is cause I'm black.

Does this happen to anyone else and does race have anything to do with athletic ability.

sort of natural. I've always worked put my calves. But after My first dunk I've been training a lot. I guess I've been getting better but I don't measure I prolly should tho.

yeh same everyone be like "oh if i were your height i'd own you" well guess what...i may be tall, but you have things that i don't have too on the court...like speed. so quit your whining cos you have an advantage in speed, i have an advantage in height. learn to use your advantage and quit hatin lol.
