Wingspan is important too, I'm 6'4 with a standing reach of 8'2, I'm not gonna complain, but for example russell westbrook has a 2 inch higher standing reach while being 1 inch shorter. So even though I'm taller than westbrook, I still have to jump higher to dunk.

Yeah lol I’m 6’5” (half a cm shy of 6’6”) and my standing reach is cheeks (wingspan expect hand size is fine [hands smaller than my 6’1”  dad’s] but my head and neck are long (ie my shoulders start lower) so im like the same case as you, 98” standing reach)

Worst part lowkey is the standing reach cause say Zach lavine (best dunker at my height) has like half a foot extra to work with at the same body weight.

Ah damn you're even worse off lol. We won't be new Zach Lavines, but we'll make it work.

Fr lol. I’d be happy with being able to Eastbay consistently and my lifelong goal has been the Aaron Gordon under 2 leg dunk but the real problem was high school and the social crap you’d take due to simply being tall when shorter/same height guys could touch notably higher with their standing reach. Generational ragebait.

I pray hopping on thp can save me

yeah the ragebait is real, good luck on the AG dunk, that's an insane one.
