I've played alot of B ball (I'm 43 now) and I can say that that is not bad at all. That is definitely above average, and you should keep training (including weights) to keep gaining. I've seen short guys who can jump, and you know what ends up happening? They become valued guys to turn to, especially if you can handle the ball going in. Bigger (or taller) guys have a harder time trying to contain a shorter guy, and have a harder time trying to steal the ball from a shorter guy--you shorter guys are too quick on inside OR outside drives toward the net. And there's never enough guys who can drain 3-pointers. Practice your free throws because you'll probably be relied on for them too.

This is very good, are you black?.........If you are then thats normal. But if you are a white boy like myself, then damn thats good man! Im 6'2", and I can just barely dunk on a normal NBA hight rim, which is 10 feet high.
Its not really your hight that matters the most though, its more about your hand grip on the ball. I am blessed with big hands, so my hand grips the ball pretty good in order for me to hold it up high and then slam it down.
But keep playing and keep excelling, and Good Luck with the air time.

That's pretty freakin' awesome man! I'm 6'4" and I can barely get my wrist over a 10-foot-rim. Keep working on it and before you know it you'll be able to slam-dunk on that 9-foot-rim.
