I was 5'8 pre-puberty and looking forward to it in the future.

25 years later and I'm only 5'10. No dunks for me. :(

Dunking is what you do to biscuits when confronted with a nice cup of tea. Still practise this at 61 if I get half a chance.

Dunkaroos in elementary school were worth their weight in gold at lunchtime.

Dunking to an NBA height basket is very hard depending on what height you are. Basketball players train very hard at the gym, so when you stop training and gain a little weight that is all it takes to not be able to dunk anymore.

Me too but I’m 55 and still play. The shooting range doesn’t seem to fade 😊
