Just curious if any of you guys can. Post if you can and your heights as well:).

I'm 6' 2 & 1/2.

I'm 5'9(19 years old) and I can touch a 10 foot rim, but not dunk on it with a ball. I can tip it.

Problem is, I stopped playing sports after 9th grade. It's a shame because baseball came very natural to me, while basketball was always fun to play. However, after 9th grade, Astronomy/Astrophysics/Astrobiology and Cosmology took my life, along with my woman. :)

Well I used to hoop all the time way back when I was in High School, though after much recent work, I somewhat have lost my slam dunking abilities, though I do plan to get back into shape once I attend college next semester.

My height is 6'0"

On a regular basketball hoop, I can only get net. I get like 2 inches away from the rim. If it was moved down a bit, I probably could. I don't play basketball on a team but I do like to play pick-up games with my friends. And since you said so, I'm 5'9.5" and 14 years old.

6'3" and i can dunk fairly well, though can only palm it with my opposite hand oddly enough. Basketball camp and some jumping exercises have been good to me

I'm 5'7. Maybe if I wore my 6 inch heels. And stood on a box.
And then jumped.

I'm 5'6 and 18 years old. Never could dunk a basketball on regulation height but I can pull it off on 9'6. I can shoot the ball pretty well though, and am very fast being that I am a runner, but I never really had the ball handling ability to play varsity.

I can dunk 6'6, also playing for my college at this point.
Anyone else playing intercollegiate hoops?
I have a couple D2 schools and some Junior Colleges looking at me, but at this point I might just go to a D1 school for academics instead of going to a crappy school just for basketball.

6'4'' and 19 years old. I dunked my sophomore year of HS for the first time. I can do it on a not so consistent basis, since I can't palm the ball, and can't exactly jump high enough to "cup" the ball. Still a cool feeling.

I can touch rim no problem and get close, but I've never been able to actually do it, but I can high jump in track half-way decent. On the court I'm trash.
I'm about 5'11
