Who's the tallest player that can't dunk?

Post #21 » by **Rooster** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:40 am

Nash told me personally (well, and about 30 other people) back in ~'02 or so that he used to be able to dunk but couldn't anymore.

Calderon can dunk. go to youtube and search it up. There's a clip of him playing for Spain i think where he throws down a two handed tomahawk dunk.

rofl really? I just can't imagine that. In the last few years I don't ever remember him dunking. Whenever he gets to the rim he always puts up a lay up, and never really gets up there.

Aflalo 6'5

The game got so lopsided that Billups threw down a rare dunk late in the third quarter, giving him a 1-0 season lead in his unofficial contest against Afflalo.

"I had to do that, because a lot of the rookies probably didn't have TVs yet the last time I dunked,'' he said after the game. "We still have no evidence that Afflalo can even do it.''

Yep just watched youtube. He had one tip in kind of dunk, and a fast break where he put it down with 2 hands in Spain.

He can. I've seen him throw down some nice dunks during warmup, like power dunks.

I don't know why he never dunks in game though =/

He's been on so many breakaways

Anyone ever seen Kapono dunk? If not, he's got to be the winner/loser of this one.

I'm pretty sure every NBA player can or could dunk at some point in their lives.

Dunking really isn't that hard guys...... for an NBA athlete it shouldn't even be a question.

Ryoga Hibiki · Post #35 » by **Ryoga Hibiki** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:25 am

All those guys can dunk, please.
I'm 5-10, average athlete and I can almost touch the rim, you think NBA guys my height (and you need to be a freak to play in the NBA at the height!) don't have at least 10' on me in vertical? I don't even start with 6-1+ guys, they obviously all can.
Even Boykins could dunk a volleyball, there's some footage about him easily touchng the rim.

Consider Nash himself admitted he first dunked when he was like 15, but he doesn't do it in game to avoid injuries and to not waste energies.
