plz express your opinion
how high do u think someone has to be able to reach in order to dunk a basketball on a 10 ft hoop. sonmebody said 10ft8 (about a palm over the rim), some body said about 11ft, somebody said about 11ft6 (a lower arm over the rim), plz express your opinion in measurements.(If someone can dunk here, that's perfect, tell us how high u can reach when u dunked the first time)

Re: plz express your opinion
i mean how high u have to be able to reach WITHOUT THE BALL to dunk. Maybe your palm can be in the basket when you jump, but when you dunk WITH A BALL, you would not be able to jump that high.

Re: plz express your opinion
well i asked kelly baggert, you knwo the guy who wrote vjb and threatens lawsuit agains any1 who shares his program, and kelly said that you only need to get half your hand over the rim and if you can time EVERYTHING perfectly, you can dunk.

Typically if you can get half your hand over the rim and get the timing
perfect you can dunk. I don't know how long your arms are or anything so
you'll have to get a tape measure or something and see exactly how high
you'd need to jump. Hope that helps!

Re: plz express your opinion
If you can hang on the rim or have the ability to hang on the rim, (you might not have a strong enough grip) basically half your hand, from a standing vert you should be able to dunk from a running one no problem.
