On the other side, as you know, dunking for real involves a lot more than just going up and slamming a ball that's already up there waiting for you.

Out of curiosity, what do you think prevented you from dunking on those jump-ball lobs prior to being able to slam two-handed?

Well back in high school I could. Nothing fancy. Not a show off at all. I actually preferred to just lay the ball, but I could dunk. 6'1" without shoes. Couple weeks ago I went out to the playground and surprisingly I could still get up (grabbed the rim, tapped the top of the rim). This is without playing basketball on a regular basis and being older..in my 30's now. I still do some light exercise at home, so that probably helps me.

Until I was 40. No need to try past that.

Bump. So I guess the basic consensus from this thread was that i'm the man and a streetball legend. You guys really need to stop jocking me so hard though it's getting kind of weird and uncomfortable. Like, its just the internet settle down

So can anyone else dunk?
