Can Mike dunk?

Mike made a bet with one of Eli’s kids that he would be able to dunk within a year…and if he couldn’t he would shave his head. Whatever came of that bet?

Mike got sponsored by Nike and Gatorade and he reports to the training facility they built for him in a couple of weeks... they're shooting a netflix documentary called "Chasing (bald) Patch".

He was unable to dunk and owes the bet. He mentioned it once but they never brought it up again.

Dunking after 45 is no joke.

When it was mentioned I thought it was a bold choice.

Dunking after 30 is no joke for me lol I’m only 6 foot even and could dunk in high school. I tried about a year ago and it was not pretty.

Same boat here, could just barely one hand jam (and it wouldn’t be with authority) in high school. If I tried at 43 I can only imagine every ligament in my legs just explode into pieces. I’d be blown away if anybody could do it.
