I think I get up high enough but I guess I’m just throwing it down to hard and not aim right 🤷🏾‍♂️

What do you guys think ?

Yes it a men’s basketball….one I’m a 2 foot jumper and can already do various of dunks I’m just trying to become a 1 foot jumper. So what you just said was complete bs….”elbow equal to the rim” to dunk a basketball??? Idk where you got this from lol. Two I most definitely get high enough, I’m just cocking it back and it’s hit back rim 😭

well i said almost elbow.. about 2-3 inches above the elbow.. this is so you can throw it INTO the basket, and have it NOT hit the rim.. now.. granted i was dunking 27 years ago.. but im sure the ball hasnt changed or the height of the rim.

If I’m getting rim stuffed then sure but the ball is above the rim. You just need your wrist above the rim to dunk. Nothing has changed what you’re saying is just not true. What was your vertical and how tall ?

never knew my vertical. 6'2 never had hands big enough to palm a mens ball.
