At What Height Is Dunking No Longer Impressive To You?

[Larry Lambo]

If a woman your height can dunk, then dunking itself is no longer impressive at your height.

However, if you can do more in the air than just a basic dunk, it still impresses.

Im 6'1" and can dunk so anybody taller than me should be able to at least 2 hand dunk. But dunks can still be impressive regardless of height

 

[Shogun]

My high school had a warm up hoop on the wall, and I could dunk by taking two steps off the mats

On the street you'll find a good deal of average height nikkas who can dunk. Once you get to about 6'3" I expect it.

So 6'5"? Lisa Leslie was the first woman to dunk and I don't think anyone shorter has (not sure if Candace Parker ever did it).

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Anything over 6'5ft

 

[Ronnie Lott]

You the breh but thread is

nikka didn't realize KJ is 6'1"

Candace is 6'4" and I'm not sure if she's ever gotten a clean dunk off in college/WNBA.

But basically 6'4" - 6'5" ish. Can't be getting credit for something the physically weaker gender can do.

Yea, I understand the whole "big men doing things that only little men are supposed to do" aspect, but for me personally, seeing a 5"11 dude do the exact same thing would get the

out of me moreso than a 7footer.

To me, that's what guys 6'5+ are SUPPOSED to be doing

But 98% of 6'5" guys aren't doing 360 windmills. They're doing basic dunks.

The ability to perform acrobatics in the air while dunking is impressive because that means you have the physical ability to do more than just jamming the ball in the rim.

Most of these taller dunkers can dunk on 11ft+ rims, which require the same jumping ability as the 5'11' dude dunking on a standard rim.

 

[DIMES]

Dunking can still be impressive if your a 7 footer like Shaq.


But I agree that around 6'2 is when dunking should be expected & is more about length than actual bounce.

 

[Armchair Militant]

Depends how you do it. Steph and Kyrie don't impress me when they dunk but Dennis Simth Jr. does.

 

[G-Zeus]

Actually short people dunking sometime looks excessive...6'4 to 6'8 dunkers to me looks best because they usually take a whole bunch of contact before yammin

 

[Brock Landers]

I can't even get that rimgrazer package my damn self so if I see somebody dunk at all...even if it's a clean 1 hander I gotta give them some props I'm talking strictly in real life at the local courts etc.

 

[75 Others]

Short guys > tall guys

Sorry but the way Steve Francis was leaping out the gym was always

 

[Bless't]

To me, above 6'2 ain't really impressive to me anymore.

Cats like Iverson and Kevin Johnson dunking is more visually pleasing to me than somebody like Dwight Howard or Blake Griffin no matter how impressive the dunk.





And of course Spud will always be GOAT






Hell even this Mayweather clone looks more impressive visually than a dude that's 6'7 doing the same thing

@ Floyd. That was nice.
