% of Scoopers that can/could dunk?

[MuggsyB]

I tried as hard as I could in my prime but  wasn't really close.  It's tough being 5'4.  Anyway, what is our dunk % here?

[wadesworld]

0.01%. Ners.

[MuggsyB]

0.01%. Ners.

No one then?  I find that hard to believe. 

[forgetful]

I'd guess slightly under 1%. A little higher than the average population, because we probably have more former players on here.

Which NBA guy had the highest vert?  Spud had a legitimate '47.  I've heard D. Thompson had a '48 but I'm not sure it's verified.  Mannigault by all accounts had a '50-52.

Don’t be silly. No one has a 50” vertical.

I also don’t get the obsession with dunking. I was a decent athlete - nothing great - but at 6’2.5” dunking is not a great accomplishment.

Jim Leonhard could dunk- 5'8" white guy.

You can just make a poll, you know.

If you can’t dunk, you don’t know ball

Not to brag, but I was playing one on one with a neighbor and dunked on his punk *ss this past weekend. Teach that first grader to mess with those that know ball. Easily skied on that 6 ft rim.

Also not to brag, but I had the most beautiful air ball that anyone ever saw. Sometimes the ball gently swished the outside of the net, leaving anyone watching astounded by my shot. Their mouths were agape after seeing that I could shoot that air ball again and again.

As an aside, why the hell would anyone dunk their doughnuts in coffee? Ruins a perfectly good doughnut, and a perfectly good cup of coffee.

[tower912]

With my accuracy, I was  the worst nightmare of whomever was sitting on the perch at the dunk tank.

One-handed or two?

Word.

[StillAWarrior]

On my best day, I could grab the rim...barely.

Thank you! Never understood that one

[WhiteTrash]

I'm 6' but small hands, so I could dunk a woman's ball until about age 22.

It's idiotic.  The 🍩 is also a stupid invention.

Always had your back Muggsy, but you are dead to me now. You clearly have not had a good doughnut.

You can dunk manatee into coffee

Allegedly, the donut was invented when a cook on a ship served fried dough to the sailors and the dough in the center was not fully cooked, resulting in some sailors getting really sick. The hole in the center solved the problem after that, and the cook did not have to walk the plank.

Also, people who eat donuts as kids grow up to be taller as adults than those who do not.

Agreed, true highlight dunking is awesome, but just the "barely get it in one handed" is just whatever.  I had an assistant coach in youth basketball, a teammate's father, who was probably 6'4.  Every couple of practices at the end, he'd take a running start from mid court and get up and barely stuff a one hander.  Some kids without fail would lose their minds every time.  It was kind of amusing in retrospect.  I'm just shy of 5'11 and could grab rim once I started doing lower body workouts in my early 20s.  That was cool.  Beats the 6'7 guy I knew in college who based a ton of his personality (and terrible game with girls) with being tall...but couldn't dunk.

Also agree with all the Muggsy opposition when it comes to donuts.  They are amazing when done well.  Nothing better than a donut with a great K Cup.
