month later some guy landed on my foot in a basketball game and put me on crutches for the next number of months, and I never came close to even touching the rim again.

It's disappointing our basketball isn't better than it is with that stat.

if we've learned anything it's a physically prestigious group.

1 in 200 seems really, really low.. That's like 3 from my HS graduating class

I would say 3-4 people could dunk at will in my graduating class

There were probably 10 guys that could dunk in our class of 300.

You mean like a through-the-legs 360 or just a regular dunk? Either way the answer is yes

I could about one out of every 5 times when I was a junior in high school

I did once, on my mission. Lost a bunch of weight in a hilly bike area.

One of my life goals. Still holding onto a small amount of hope it will happen.

I could hit the rim with the bottom edge of my palm. Never got a dunk to go in though.

Yes but genetics help, 6’ 4” and big hands help

I could touch the net. But i'm not 6'2" to 6'6" like more than half on CB are.

I could dunk a volleyball in college. Just couldn't palm a full size ball

I could grab the rim, but that was it. I could probably grab net now.

I dunked one time when I was 17, and my friend stood under the basket and lobbed

I could until age 40. Blood blisters on my for arm were my glory. I keep thinking if I can lose some weight I can again
