I have ankle weights from a long time ago,2.2 pounds each...because i have short arms my 31 inch vert is kinda pointless! I need 'bout 4-5 inches 2 dunk,so can i gain that much with them?! And i don't want 2 do any exercises,just play ball with them or sumt'n!
Please answer...

They can also be harmful to the knee ligaments if you run or jump with them on.

pretty much all that was mentioned above, and on top of that, they're pretty useless unless you're gonna use them for muscle building =/
