Answer 1

I BET YOU CAN I AM A GIRL AND I HAVE BEEN USING JUMPSOLES FOR A WHILE I CAN ALMOST TOUCH THE RIM, MORE THEN HALF THE NET. I AM ONLY 5'4" AND A GIRL. SO I BET YOU COULD DO IT.

Answer 2

well look at it from a logical standpoint, you are 63 inches, w/ your hand up you are (im guessing) about 72 inches. That means you need 48 inches to touch rim. You can dunk if you can get 6 inches over the rim. Thats 54 inches. The best dunkers have about 42 inch verticals. So keep on working out your legs, and maybe if you get to 5'6 or 7 you'll be able to dunk. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

its unlikely, but i think its possible. Spudd Webb was only 5'6 and he could clear the rim easily. Your 63 inches and the rim is 120 inches, plus the 6 inches you need to clear the rim with the ball. so 126-63=63 inches. however, well say that your arm length is about 2 feet or 24 inches. But, your arms probably extend 18 inches above your head. 63-18=45 inches. So you need about a 45 inch vertical, but a running jump will get more height. So i think its possible.

Answer 4

Yes practice on a lower hoop until you can dunk on that hoop. With alot of Practice you could easily do it and look really cool.

Answer 5

i have the hops and dunk all the time

Answer 6

Yeah, just get some ankle weights, and you'll most likely be dunkin' by the end of the year.

Answer 7

an nba court is ten feet high so if you can jump around 4 feet and your arm is at least a foot long ya but its doubtful

Answer 8

you need to try to dunk it then you will know

Answer 9

if you are that dumb, that you dont know if you can dunk. you need to go study.

Answer 10

Yes I'm 5'6 and I can grab rim
