Basketball and dunking...

How many of you play basketball here?

It can be in any forms...doesnt really have to be competitive

And how many of you can dunk?

I fuckin wanna dunk. It seems pretty close and yet so fuckin far away. I need 4-5 inches more before I can dunk, but those 4-5 inches dont come easy.

I'm 6'3" and I've never been able to dunk. Damn low-jumping caucasian genes.

Heard of a program called Air Alert? I only did the program for about 9 weeks (it now has 2 phases for a total of 4months-ish I think) and I gained 6-8 inches. That was 5 years ago and I still jump higher than all my college buds. The program costs $29.95 but if you want to dunk bad enough, it's definitely worth it.

The workouts are intense though and your calves will burn like hell right afterwards, so be prepared.

this will soon be you for only 29.95, hopefully you'll make your dunks though.

Dunking is overrated, besides if its hard enough for you to dunk when you're all by yourself, how hard do you think it will be to dunk during a game?
