Your Current Athletic Status: Can You Touch the Rim
- Thread starter Gazoo
- Start date
Haaaaaa….I am slowly transitioning to the game of golf.
I dislocated my knee at 14, the summer I grew 6 inches, to my present height of 6'5", and that knee has been my bane my entire life but in my prime I was touching the top of the box on the backboard behind the rim. I haven't tried to jump high in over 25 years and wouldn't try it now at 57. I'm satisfied with my active years.
Haven’t been able to ball since this damn pandemic.. jump shot was still wet… been hurt my back so definitely not trying to test my ups.. but will shoot them lil nigs eyes out on the half court game
Whoa you did have David Thompson hops.
Ugh...dislocated both knees in 12th grade. Suffering from major arthritis now.
I’m not even going to do that to myself.
I use to be a dunker. Now I just run.

Jaisyn Mike is over 40, 300lbs, and could still hop with the best of them.
300 pound gang... jackk

Every time he landed I felt it in my knees.
But I am impressed.
I'm going to let yall guess

Never was a dunker.
Only made it to 6 feet and although could touch the rim, was much better at running.
At 44 I doubt I'd be able to touch the rim but I still got a few shots of speed. I stick to low impact exercise like bicycling and walking.

Track and field field, sprints, 40?
I was a sprinter. 100, 200, 4x100, 4x200
Ever since Phi Slama Jama, I stopped loving the dunk. So he can dunk...OK. Can he hit free throws when the game is on the line? Free throws matter just as much as any other part of the game. What about his outside shot? Does he even have an outside shot?
Sorry but I'm tired of seeing millionaires and wannabes fail at such a primary part of the game. Hate if you want.

The fact that I could dunk once upon a time is what killed my knees. What goes up must come down and that concrete wasn't friendly. It was a blast being able to fly though.
We all are...300 pounds below 15 percent body fat....can move mountains...my friend
This. I will body and basketbrawl the average negro.
I can still touch or grab the rim rn. 
I haven’t attempted a dunk in years.

When I was in 7th grade I was like 2 inches from grabbing the rim.
In my mind I was like cool, I'm still growing and in high school im sure ill be able to dunk.
How about I grew but never got any higher
Edit. I'm 5'11"/6ft
Hey man you were the team Kurt rambis.. hey he sets good picks and dives on the floor to save the ball from going out of boundsWhen I was in 7th grade I was like 2 inches from grabbing the rim.

Nah I was pretty nice with the ball handling
I used to cross people and take it to the hole...just would be a lay up lol
They used to call me Jason Kidd
I grew up with a hoop at the crib so my shot was decent
How big a fella are ya... brah?
I was dunking in high school at 5' 8- and was able to well into my 30s (6'0) . These days,( 50+) my knees aren't what they used to be, but if I stretch/warm up first, and got a decent pair of kicks on, I might be able to touch the baseline...
I can't give you no more than that, fam..

I used to slam but these days I am lucky to touch the floor..
Yep, that’s hard to accept, but I’m too old to be wearing a boot for tearing up my Achilles
I'm going to let yall guess
The best high jumpers in history were white. So much for stereotypes.
After my 30s, I played off and on until my late 40s. Then, a few times in my very early 50s.
I could barely touch the rim now...maybe.
I'm 6'3
I could dunk in my 20s, but I don't even think about playing anymore....wayyy too much downside.
This is what I'm fighting now...
That Arthur (arthritis) just fucks with me some days. Those old ankle and knee injuries are a lil arthritic...some days are better than others.
