For sure, Shaka's was the most surprising for me.
Best I've done is dunk on an 8 foot rim.
Paging Ners....

I dunk my donut every morning with my coffee.
You guys haven't seen the picture of Shaka's jumping fist pump in the locker room? The guy has 🐰🐰s
Shaka (at what 5' 8" ) dunked ?
And " threw the ball up there " ?
LOL. I'm calling BS on that

my first time dunking on a 10 foot rim (Rec Center, sophomore year) is a memory that will be forever etched in my memory. For years I could get high enough using one hand but could not hold on to the ball to throw it through, so I tried two-handed for the first time and sure enough...

So for years you were getting up there but never thought, "Maybe I should try this with 2 hands so I can hold onto the ball?"

I could get my hand above the rim, but not enough to get the ball over. Had to kinda push/lob it over the rim then hang on the rim to pretend I did something.
Can't even get rim these days.

I didn't have the vertical or coordination to do that. However, I was playing a lot of street hockey the summer between freshman and sophomore year, and training on in-line skates (1995) built up my quads and increased my vertical enough to pull off the two-handed dunk when challenged.

A kid I was training a few years ago asked me if I could still grab the rim, so I tried. My patella tendon basically told me to never try that again!

Ha! The Rec Center! That was the only place I (at 6-foot even) ever dunked a volleyball on a 10' rim, and I credit the floor with being just a little bit springy. I also could never dunk a basketball one-handed.
Rec center was the only place where I ever successfully completed an alley oop. Only while horsing around and not in a game. Does it count?

absolutely!
I remember some alley-oop layups I finished playing at the Rec Center, but never a dunk. That would have been sick!
My first time I jumped super early and made a mess of things. Super embarrassing
