Anything is possible, but, just in case...Can you finish a driving layup with either hand?

Not to be a downer, but no....I don't think so.
To dunk the ball you must get well PAST the rim (far enough over it to fit the ball!).
If you are still 3-4 inches from the rim you'll need to grow or improve your jumping by at least 9-10 inches.
That said, I'm not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.
But good luck to you.

it all depends on how high you can jump, how athletic you are, how much you way, all of that stuff plays into it, plus you will prolly have a groath spurt. just keep working on it and doing tons of leg exersises to get your vertical up, and it will come a lot eaiser to you if u can palm the ball because dunking 1 handed is eaiser then 2 and if you cant palm the ball you might have some more trouble.

depends if your gonna grow more. If you get up near 5'10 and keep working on your hops, then maybe. Touching the rim and dunking are two very different things though. Just keep working on your hops and the height will take care of itself.

If you are that close why not? Do some spring jumps every day (flat foot over a folding chair to increase burst) and work on your leg strength and it is dunk city! Good luck!

Umm. Well It matters have you hit your growth spurt yet. If so probbably not. But a good way to start jumping higher is to stretch your legs every day and start out on a low hoop.

Probably remeber when dunking use one hand if you can barely make it.... then when you get taller use 2 hands.
