Bulletproof on CB is 6'2 and is in his mid 30's ( I work with him) and he can still dunk pretty easily. He did play college ball and is still in good shape.

I can't do that now.

But I can still grab the rim.
Yeah, this guy was a two foot jumper. Late 40s and could stand in front of the hoop, take a step and dunk with one or two hands. Could dunk off a drop step too. Of course, he played for the Sixers when he was younger.

I'd like to play him one on one.

He was great to play one on one with. He knew a lot of stuff. Our High School also had a women's coach who had played in the NBA (for the Blazers). He was a legit 7 footer. Between those two, we got a great education in post play.

Sorry, but embittered religious commentary doesn't really lend itself to basketball improvement.

Everyone I've ever played against has taught me a thing or two. Of course, most of those lost while teaching.

I saw the dunk. Thank you. K-dog made it sound like it was out of the question that Jimmer could dunk. I'm glad he is proven wrong.

I'm glad I've been proven wrong too.
