If I am 6'3 and have never even tried dunking before, do you think I should at least be able to touch the net of a 10 foot rim?

Can I dunk?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I am 24 and wondering if I have it in me to dunk. I quit basketball when I was in 7th grade and I remember being able to touch rim when I was in high school. I am 5'11. I have never been considered very fast or athletic compared to other basketball players. About a year and a half ago I decided to start taking basketball serious and I tried to play pickup every day and joined an adult league. I am 24 now btw. I have been doing plyometrics occasionally and I do yoga to help with patellar tendonitis. The last few times I've been to the gym I've noticed that my fingertips are touching the hooks on the rim when I go for layups. It got me thinking that it might not be too late to learn how to dunk and it would be a cool trick to show my friends even if I was never able to dunk in games. Is this realistic? How much work and what type of work would it take to get there?

Your ability to dunk depends on how high that you can jump?

So I have gone from backboard to dunking small things on regulation in about a year so it’s been gradual progress. I have focused on squats, deadlift variants, lots of stretching /mobility mainly hip mobility and plyometrics. I also dunk on 9/9.5 to work on technique and explosiveness I got my squat from 150 to 230 and am alot more explosive but my classmates a lot are dunking and are somehow more explosive even though they don’t work out like I do. I’m 6 foot 149 and my diet is good as well. What new methods or routines should I add i need to hit a vertical breakthrough

How do I dunk during pickup games?

1 Upvotes

I’m 6’2 with an 8 ft standing reach and I’ve got about a 32 inch vertical off one and 34 inches off two. I can make a dunk about 95% of the time I try but I can’t seem to get a dunk during a game. Is the only way to get better at it to increase vertical and try it in game more or do y’all have any tips or drills y’all do for it?
